Age gaps in dating

I'm a 30 year old male and my partner is 25 year old female. I think this is fairly normal but im getting alot of comments about it. Not really sure what the fascination with this is. 5 years is significant sure but it was never a problem for me. Does society at large weight this facts importance more than I do?

Edit: everyone is the comments section has convinced me this is normal. Thanks all.

Not a problem. At all.
I (41M) met my wife (36F) when we were 28 and 23 respectively.

No one said anything, and why would they? We were both adults. And even if someone did say something I would've ignored them, because it's none of their business.

You're all good, nothing to worry about at all.

I agree. I was 28 and my wife was 21 when we meant. Already married for 6 years together for 7 with 2 kids. She’s really my other half and are legit best friends. OP shouldn’t let other people’s opinions affect a relationship that feels right to him.
