Barry Levinson directed Ellen Barkin in her breakout role, 'Diner,' nearly thirty years ago, but for the past couple of years she's had a drastically different connection with the famed filmmaker: she's dating his young son.Well, according to Page Six that is, whose multiple sources say the 57-year-old Emmy winner and writer Sam Levinson, 26, are not only an item but have actually been living together for two years.
"They go out, they're photographed together, they don't keep it secret," said one source (indeed, we easily found the photo at right of them, shot in January). Another calls the May-December romance "the worst-kept secret in New York."
Barkin's rep said the star does not comment on her personal life.
Her lush film career started in 1982's 'Diner.' Sam Levinson was three years from even existing when his famous dad directed the actress in the Baltimore-based nostalgia-fest. She's had other major roles in 'The Big Easy,' 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' and 'Ocean's Thirteen,' among others.

You're absolutely right! And it's no one's business but their own.
Hey,LUIS, you know when you scream in all caps about people being mammas' boys' it does nothing but make everyone else think you're a deeply-closeted gay man.
So what! They are both adults, no matter how disgusting it is.

What does a young girl see in an old man with so many cute younger men out there? What is good for the goose is good for the gander. It is about time the roles were reversed!! Good for her!
I bet by the time you hit forty you'll be waiting for your high school girlfriend to get out of school hypocrite!
@ Della....look, your cutesy, obvious man hating statement can be read in another way....How can man trust someone who bleeds 7 days and does not DIE. Get a life!
Are you kidding? Her second husband was a billionare. She's hot though even for an older lady.
...hey flash, every try dating an older woman?? Should try it. I'm talking about an older woman that takes care of herself (same for younger women). Did you not see Ellen's chactor opposite Lawence Fishborne's on a patio (they were both spys of some sort). Ellen is one of the sexiest women around. The young man is having the time of his life!
It's Gabriel Byrne by the way. No "s".
