Dave Franco’s wife is the brilliant and hilarious Alison Brie. You know her from Community, GLOW, and basically every millennial’s dream brunch guest list. And guess what? She is one year older than Dave. That’s it. No drama, no scandal, just a solid, healthy six-month age difference on the calendar.
Born on December 29, 1982, Alison Brie is currently in her early forties, while Dave (born June 12, 1985) is pushing forty. So, one year and a few months. If you were hoping for a juicy headline about a May-December romance, you’re going to leave disappointed—and that’s the best part.
Why This Makes Life More Fun
Here’s the lighthearted truth: this whole “age thing” is perfect because it proves you can ignore the noise. In a world obsessed with who is “too old” or “too young,” Dave and Alison are just two people who met, clicked, and decided to build a life. They met back in 2011, married in 2017, and now? They’re just busy making funny movies and being weird together.
Think about it. How many times have you worried about being “too old” to start something? Or too young to be taken seriously? Dave and Alison’s one-year age gap is a tiny wink from the universe saying: Relax. The clock is a liar. It’s not about the number on your birthday cake—it’s about whether you can make each other laugh when the Wi-Fi goes out.

A Love Story, Not a Spreadsheet
And honestly? The real magic isn’t their birth years. It’s how they talk about each other. Alison has said Dave makes her feel “completely understood,” and Dave has called her his “favorite person to do nothing with.” That’s the kind of stuff that beats any age calculator. When you’ve got that, who cares if you’re twelve months apart or twelve years?
Plus, they’ve got that rare Hollywood gift: zero public drama. No messy breakups, no weird interviews. Just them, their two cats, and a shared love for terrible reality TV. It’s almost annoyingly wholesome. But it’s also a quiet reminder that love isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
