  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Noun Phrase 90. The noun phrase today is

  • trophy wife. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. A trophy wife is an

  • attractive woman who is married to a successful man. Often it is a second wife

  • or possibly a third or fourth wife who is younger. Often a lot younger and

  • thought of as a trophy regarded as symbolizing her husband's success and and

  • impresses other people . It's a term that the media likes to use a lot. Personally

  • I don't think the couples use it. I don't think, think the guys walks

  • around and say that's my trophy wife. No. Probably not. Probably it would get him in

  • trouble if he actually did do that. But the media likes to use it when talking

  • about them But anyway, let's look at the first example here. Example number one.

  • Hugh Hefner, remember he was the original one that set up Playboy

  • magazine. He was the CEO, the head guy of Playboy magazine. So he had a lot of

  • women throughout his life. I think he married several times too. But anyway, but

  • before he died. He did die recently only a few years ago. Hugh Hefner had a

  • trophy wife named Crystal Hefner. There was a 60 year age gap between the two. So

  • that's kind of like a typical one that you might hear. The second one here.

  • Before his latest scandals. Remember and that would be going back at least a year now.

  • Almost two years. Harvey Weinstein had a trophy wife. You remember, he's the one

  • that had a lot of scandals that you know he kind of sexually harassed a lot of

  • female actresses because you know, he was a big director. And I think you know, he

  • suggested that these women do something in order to get their parts.

  • But anyway he had a trophy wife too. So before his latest scandals Harvey

  • Weinstein had a trophy wife that was twenty four years younger than him. Okay.

  • And another thing to note about this, you know, just because

  • you have a trophy wife does not mean that that's not a real marriage. It oesn't

  • mean that the couples don't really love each other. Probably most of them really

  • do. But anyway here we might say you know, some other examples may include Larry

  • King. Remember the talk-show host that used to be on CNN. Yeah he married a

  • woman that was a lot younger than him and even had a child with her. When he

  • was really pretty old. But he's still around and he's I think they're still

  • married, but he had a trophy wife definitely. Some people point out Donald

  • Trump, they will say Melania , well this was even said before he was president of

  • course. That he that Melania is like a trophy wife in a way to Donald Trump. But

  • again, just like I said just because somebody ... well if the media says it's a

  • trophy wife doesn't mean it's not a real marriage. It doesn't mean that the couples

  • don't really love each other. But the media likes this term. Anyway, I hope you

  • got it. I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
