The May December couple by Julianne Moore and Charles Melton is inspired by the Mary Kay Letourneau affair, which took place in the United States in 1997. The latter was an American teacher who, when she was 34, became pregnant by her twelve-year-old student Willie Fualau. She was sentenced to six months in prison (three of which were suspended) and three years of treatment for sexual offences.

She then violated her probation and became pregnant again by Fualau in 1998, landing her in prison for seven and a half years. After serving her sentence, she married Fualau in 2005 and raised their two children with him, born while he was in prison. The couple eventually divorced in 2019, and Letourneau died of cancer the following year.
