Paul Walker and Jasmine Pilchard Gosnell were together for seven years when the actor tragically died in 2013, according to The Daily Mail. Although it's not known exactly how they met, the pair reportedly started dating when Gosnell — then a college student based in Santa Barbara, California — was just 16 and Walker 33 years old. Despite the massive (and frankly uncomfortable) age gap, the two managed to make to make things work, and were even said to be sharing a home in Los Angeles at the time of Walker's death. 

Gosnell's uncle, Barton Bruner, told the publication that she and Walker were already planning their future as a couple. In fact, it was said that Gosnell had already embraced her role as a stepmother of sorts to Walker's only daughter and sole heir, Meadow Walker. "They had their ups and downs but they were together, and looking to spend a bright future together," said Bruner.

Understandably, Gosnell was devastated and heartbroken to learn all about Walker's fatal car accident. Casey Gosnell, her father, said she struggled to come to terms with the actor's death, and had to be in therapy in order to cope with her loss. "I have her in grief counseling. You have to understand that she is still terribly wounded by Paul's death and will be for a long time," Casey told The Mail, adding, "It's been very hard for her. But she has her family and we're trying to help and support her as much as we can."
