Steven Bauer has 'faced criticism' over his relationship with 20-year-old Lyda Louton

He's 59 and she's just 20-years-old.

But the almost 40-year age gap doesn't seem to be a problem for Ray Donovan star Steven Bauer and his much younger girlfriend, Lyda Loudon.

Now the three-times divorced actor has opened up about their two-year relationship in an interview published In the latest edition of In Touch magazine on Friday.

'Lyda and I have faced criticism, but not from anyone interesting,' Steven said. 'My family loves her and she loves them.'

The celebrity, probably best known for playing opposite Al Pacino in 1983's Scarface, added that he has finally found true love.

Steven told the magazine that Lyda, who describes herself as an activist, has 'positively influenced' his life.

'She helped me discover all kinds of great lifestyle habits. I’ve lost 30 pounds and weigh what I did while making Scarface,' he said.

'I eat very little gluten - I didn’t know gluten-free pizza existed! No hydrogenated oils, very little dairy and sugar, more vegetables and fruits.

'We go together well. Anyone who knows us knows we have something special.'

Lyda is the daughter of Missouri State Senator John Loudon and his conservative radio show host wife Dr. Gina.
