36+ Celebrity Couples With Insane Height Differences

Love knows no bounds, and in Hollywood, it certainly doesn’t discriminate based on height. In a world where the spotlight shines bright, celebrity couples prove that height really is just a number. A few inches doesn't stand in the way of true love. From towering A-list actors to pint-sized pop stars, these celebrity couples may be different heights, but it doesn't make their relationships any less special. Check out these unusual celebrity couple height differences.

Gwendoline Christie and Giles Deacon

They met in 2013 at a fashion-related function and hit it off. The couple managed to keep their relationship mostly private, with the occasional paparazzi shot here and there. It’s assumed that they enjoy keeping a low profile when it comes to romance.

Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko

The 5’0” actress found love with the 6’6” Ukrainian boxer after meeting through mutual friends at a party in 2008.

Even though they're no longer together, they're still on great terms and they happily co-parent their daughter Kaya Evdokia.

Kyrie Irving and Angel Reese

Louisiana State University basketball player Angel Reese, standing tall at 6’3”, was presented the award for best athlete in women’s sports at the ESPY Awards along with professional NBA player Kyrie Irving, 6”1, of the Dallas Mavericks. When the two emerged on stage at the awards ceremony back in July 2023, the already noticeable height difference was made all the more noticeable by her high heels. We bet the extra few inches of height definitely helps Reese in her career!

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick

Poosh founder and mom of four children, Kourtney Kardashian spent the majority of their reality TV show trying to make things work with her partner and baby daddy, Scott Disick. The couple called it quits and Kardashian moved on to Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker. Measuring 5’11”, Disick towers over Kourtney who is 5” exactly, even when she’s wearing heels. While they may not have lasted, their cute height difference stood the test of time and is imprinted in our memories forever.

Sophie Dahl and Jamie Cullum

Sophie Dahl and Jamie Cullum stand as a testament to love's ability to transcend any and all physical differences. Sophie, a renowned model and author, stands tall at 6'0", while the jazz musician Jamie is notably shorter at 5'6". Their height difference didn't deter their love, as they tied the knot in 2010. Their marriage is a living example that true love is not measured in inches but in love, loyalty, and dedication, proving that when it comes to romance, height is just a number.

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden

Attempting to keep a low profile relationship-wise, Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden met in 2014 and were engaged to be wed within six months. The *Charlie’s Angels* actress stands three inches taller than her 5’6” husband, who plays guitar for the pop rock band Good Charlotte. Not only is there a noticeable height difference, but Diaz is also seven years older than Madden. Despite these minor differences, the two couldn’t be more in love.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes

With a relationship dating back to 2005, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, or TomKat, were truly couple goals. Within a year of meeting, the couple had gotten engaged, welcomed a child into the world, and gotten married. With a few aspects of their personal lives contributing to the relationship's end, their height wasn’t one of them. At 5’7”, Cruise is often shorter than his love interests, and that’s no different in this instance. Holmes is 5’9” and had no problem with the height difference, either.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson

Kim K might be a giant in the world of entertainment, but physically she’s only 5’2”. After leaving her ex-husband Kanye West, Kim entered into a steamy relationship with *SNL* presenter and standup comedian Pete Davidson, who is 6’3”.

They then went on to have two children.

While their romance may be only fictional, Sarah Jessica Parker and John Corbett have built a strong friendship over the years, both on and off-screen. The two even reprised their roles in Season 2 of the *SATC* spinoff. *And Just Like That...*.

Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has been dating Jason Statham since 2009. Though the couple have been engaged since 2016, they’ve not had their wedding yet. They do, however, have two beautiful children. Statham’s wife is 5’9”, making her a good three inches taller than her husband. This doesn’t really factor into their relationship though as the two are head over heels in love and not the type of couple to allow a few inches to get in the way of true love.

Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson

Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johanson were first pictured together in 2008, and the 6’2” Reynolds was seen strolling alongside the 5’3” Johanson. Shortly after these paparazzi snaps, the couple announced their engagement and were married in the same year. All seemed to be in order until they separated a couple of years later.

In an interview with *The New York Times*, he describes Fisher as “hilarious”, which is a massive compliment coming from him!

Shaquille O'Neal and Nicole Alexander

After a whirlwind relationship, O’Neal popped the question in 2010 and the couple were engaged to be married. Unfortunately, their relationship came to an abrupt end back in 2013, but that doesn’t stop us from looking back at the former couple's cute photos together, showcasing their wild height difference.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s whirlwind romance began back in 1989 on the set of *Days of Thunder*, which they co-starred in. At 5’11”, Kidman is slightly taller than 5’7” movie star Cruise.

Hafthor Bjornsson and Kelsey Henson

Nicknamed "The Mountain" in HBO's *Game of Thrones*, Hafthor Bjornsson is 6'9" towers over his 5'2" Canadian fitness trainer wife Kelsey Henson. In a recent post on social media, Hensen posed next to her Icelandic husband at the gym. In an attempt to bridge the 17" height difference, she stood beside him but on a bench so as to be height level with him. It was adorable!

Bobby Berk and Dewey Do

Being almost a head taller than his husband at 6”, *Queer Eye* star Bobby Berk began dating surgeon Dewey Do way back in 2004 after meeting him online.

In the meantime, they adopted the cutest dog named Bimini.

Kim Kardashian and Chris Humphries

Kim K, at 5’2”, and now ex-husband, Chris, didn’t see eye to eye. In every sense of the word. Kim’s second marriage was to basketball player Chris Humphries. They held their fairytale wedding in Season 6 of *Keeping Up With the Kardashians* and while this looked like the wedding of the century, they were divorced after just 72 days. Though their relationship was short-lived, their height difference will always be memorable in Hollywood history.

Erin Darke and Daniel Radcliffe

After a magical meeting on the set of *Kill Your Darlings *back in 2012, Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe and fellow actress Erin Darke became practically inseparable.

The couple even welcomed a child in 2023.

Kate Middleton and Prince William

Once the young Prince William announced which university he’d be attending, almost every mother sent an application to the same university for their daughters, in the hope they’d cross paths with the prince. For one lucky girl, this dream came true. Kate and William started off as roommates and then began to date and, well, the rest is literally history. Destined to be the future King and Queen of England, the couple’s height difference is definitely noticeable when they appear at public engagements. The future king is 6’3” and Princess Catherine is 5’9” without heels.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker

After Kourtney’s very public and very final breakup with baby daddy Scott Disick, she found comfort in the arms of neighbor and friend Travis Barker, drummer for Blink 182. After realizing that there’s undeniable chemistry between them, they became official and blended their families. You don’t have to be a giant to make Kourtney Kardashian look short as she’s only five foot, but Travis Barker at 5’9” definitely towers over his wife in a very obvious way. We think it’s adorable.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth

In what only can be described as an on-again-on-again relationship, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have kept fans on their toes for almost a decade. Miley was on her toes for a completely different reason, though, as her partner was 6’3” and she was 5’5”. Rumors of breakups and makeup swirled around the internet as the couple attempted to figure out their differences. Ultimately, the marriage didn't work out. However, a lot of brilliant music came out as a result.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett

Meeting on the set of *The Fresh Prince of Bel-air*, Will spotted Jada on the other side of the room, which wouldn’t have been an easy feet as she’s only 5” and he’s 6”2. They had an instant connection and tied the knot a few years later. The couple went on to have two children together as well as a third one from Will’s previous relationship. After being together for over two decades, these two are definitely considered one of the more real couples in the celeb world. Discussing the highs and lows of their relationship so candidly with fans, they don’t pretend to be something they’re not.

Reece Witherspoon and Jim Toth

While Reece Witherspoon may only be 5’1”, that didn’t stop Jim Toth from spotting her out of the crowd. Their love affair started back in 2010 when they met at a mutual friend’s party. They very quickly started dating and were married within a year. The two went on to have a child together and are still just as adorable as they always were, making them one of Hollywood’s love match successes.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez

We’re all familiar with the paparazzi photos at red carpet events of 5’5” Jennifer Lopez looking up adoringly at her 6’4” Ben Affleck husband. This couple may as well be the prom king and queen of Hollywood. After first meeting each other in the early 2000s, the two rekindled their relationship twenty years later. Ever since, they have been inseparable and so in love, it’s adorably nauseating. To divert public interest on their wedding day, they sent three decoy brides in dresses to different locations in a bid to confuse the press. How wild?

Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande

Meeting on the set of *Saturday Night Live* in the spring of 2018, presenter and stand-up comedian Pete Davidson was struck by singer and actress Ariana Grande. They very quickly became exclusive with Davidson proposing to Grande after only three short weeks of dating. Things might not have ended in the smoothest of ways for the couple, but while they were together, we thought their extreme height difference made them absolutely adorable. Being on five feet, Davidson is over a foot taller than Grande.

Christina Ricci and Owen Benjamin

Christina Ricci and Owen Benjamin's relationship raised eyebrows not just for their celebrity status, but also for their noticeable height difference. The actress, standing at 5'1", found love with the 6'6" tall comedian and actor. They became engaged in 2009, but the relationship was short-lived, as they called it off a few months later. Despite their differing statures, they showed that love knows no bounds, even if it wasn't destined for a happily ever after in their case.

Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito

One thing that couple Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito are known for in the world of entertainment is the remarkable height difference. Famously appearing as a married couple in the film adaptation of Roald Dahl’s *Matilda*, many viewers noticed Perlman standing two inches taller than her 4’10” husband, Danny. Their palpable on-screen chemistry when playing Matilda’s neglectful parents added another layer to their relationship’s charm, proving that their connection extended beyond their personal life into the professional realm.

Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet

While they may have only started dating in 2005, Mamoa had it bad for Bonet since he first laid eyes on her on *The Cosby Show*. He told *Esquire* that she was "Literally my childhood crush" and said if he could marry her, "Anything is possible." Best known for playing Khal Drogo on *Game of Thrones*, Momoa’s most striking feature definitely has to be his height. Standing at 6’4”, Bonet had to physically look up to talk to him as she herself is only 5’2”. Sadly, the two ended their marriage in 2022.

Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky

Towering over his wife of 12 years, 6’3” Chris Hemsworth met Spanish model and actress Elsa Pataky, 5’3”, all the way back in 2010. The couple were quickly married and had their first child in 2012, and then a set of twins in 2014. One thing is for certain, Hemsworth’s height definitely came in handy when filming *Thor*. Who better to play the God of Thunder than a real-life giant?

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson

After starring as the two main characters and love interests in the famous *Twilight* Saga, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson went public with their relationship in early 2009. The 6’1” vampire towered over the 5’5” human in all of the scenes that were shot. Before the whole cheating scandal that came a few years later, they were truly couple goals, both on-screen and off-screen. Their rather extreme height difference made their relationship all the more endearing.

Tina Fey and Jeff Richmond

Tina Fey and Jeff Richmond's love proves that height differences are no obstacle to a genuine relationship. The comedian, writer, and actress stands at 5'5", while her composer and producer husband Jeff is 5'3". They first crossed paths at a comedy club in Illinois, igniting a romance that led to their 2001 wedding. Their connection goes far beyond physical disparities, showcasing that their shared humor and deep emotional bond can conquer any height discrepancy. Fey and Richmond continue to be an inspiring example of a loving partnership that defies societal norms.

Jane Lynch and Jennifer Cheyne

Having met in the early 2000s, *Glee* star Jane Lynch (6”) and Jennifer Cheyne (5’4”) rekindled their love when meeting a few years later. In a recent interview with *Today*, Lynch opened up about her nuptials and the way she proposed to her now-wife. “Jennifer and I have been together forever and we were shopping for insurance for her and I said, ‘Let’s just get married.’ So that’s how romantic it went," she told the news outlet. Their height difference is truly adorable!

Pharrell Williams and Helen Lasichanh

Starting off in the friend zone for two years, singer and music producer Pharrell Williams dated his now-wife for five years before deciding to tie the knot. Pharell Williams and Helen Lasichanh have been married since 2013. They then went on to have four children together. Standing two inches taller than Williams at 5’11” worked out for the best as he later told Oprah Winfrey, "She just stood out. I was like, 'Who and what is that?'" They definitely look *happy* together.

Ariel Winter and Levi Meaden

The 10-year age difference between Ariel Winter and Levi Meaden hasn’t been the only aspect of their relationship to stir controversy. The *Modern Family* star stands at 5’1”, and actor Meaden is 6’2”, showcasing that height can't overshadow a strong connection. Meeting back in 2016, the two remained strong in the face of adversity caused by the decade age difference, showing an unwavering bond and support for each other.

LeBron James and Savannah Brinson

High school sweethearts LeBron James and Savannah Brinson have been together since they were teenagers. The couple tied the knot in 2013 and went on to have three beautiful children.

Savannah isn’t exactly short herself, but at 5’7”, her husband is over a foot taller than her at 6’8”.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban

The relationship that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have is truly a testament to the strength of their connection, despite a noticeable height difference. Nicole, at 5'11", and Keith, at 5'10", began their relationship in 2005. Over the years, they've overcome any concerns about their heights. Their unwavering bond has made them one of Hollywood's longest-enduring couples. It's a reminder that in love, what truly matters is the depth of the connection, not the inches that separate them.

Zoë Kravitz and Karl Glusman

Meeting at a bar through a mutual friend in 2016, Zoë Kravitz and Karl Glusman felt a rapport almost immediately when they met. After being photographed at several public events together, like the Emmy Awards, the couple were engaged in 2019 and got married just a few months later. But, it wasn't meant to last.

Kevin Hart and Eniko Parrish

After meeting back in 2009, Kevin Hart and Eniko Parrish dated for six years before he proposed to her on her birthday and they finally got married in 2016. The couple went on to have two lovely children together. Standing three inches taller than her loving husband, Eniko is 5’7”. However, Hart has never let his height get in the way of his happiness. It’s often the butt of his jokes and what makes his relationship all the more endearing.

Reece Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhall

Their love story began on the set of *Rendition*, where Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal's on-screen chemistry bloomed into a real-life romance that lasted for nearly two years. While it didn't last, both parties claim that the split was amicable. The noticeable height difference between the 5'11" Gyllenhaal and the 5'1" Witherspoon only added to the charm of their relationship, making them a cute couple while they lasted.

Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster

Scottish musician Rod Stewart married his current wife, Penny Lancaster, in 2007. Being that Lancaster is a model, it’s expected that she would be slightly taller than other women. But at 6’1”, she towers over Stewart. Though only two inches shorter than the love of his life, Stewart will occasionally wear boots with very subtle lifts in them in order to appear taller. Maybe that’s also why he does that with his hair.

Peter Dinklage and Erica Schmidt

*Game of Thrones* actor Peter Dinklage starred in various films and series, including the lead role in *Cyrano*, a movie musical penned by his wife Erica Schmidt, who also boasts an impressive professional résumé. Peter Dinklage and Erica Schmidt's love story began when they met at a friend's house in New York City about 18 years ago. They eloped in Las Vegas in 2005 and are parents to two children. Despite being a whole foot shorter than his wife at 4’5”, they’re happily married and wouldn't change a thing.

Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas

*Game of Thrones* star Sophie Turner stands slightly taller than her ex-husband Joe Jonas. Being only two inches taller than Joe, Sophie Turner is 5’9” and has told multiple outlets that she had no qualms about the height difference between the two of them. When rumors started circulating about the couple getting divorced, some fans started to ponder whether or not the split was down to the height difference itself.

Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy

Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy have successfully managed to keep their loving relationship out of the public eye. Despite a minimal presence in paparazzi snapshots, they took a significant step in early 2014 by getting engaged. Their love story was unique not only for its substantial age gap, but also for the striking height disparity between them. At only 5’2”, she often has to physically look up to her 6’3” partner.

Chris Bosh and Adrienne Williams

Being a tall NBA player is nothing unusual, and it can make for some interesting couple height differences like Chris Bosh and his model wife Adrienne Williams. Bosh towers over most humans at a staggering 6’11”, while his Mrs walks alongside him at 4’11”. That’s a whole two-foot difference! They had what was described as an extremely lavish wedding in Miami and then went on to have four wonderful children that make them very proud.

Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson

Though not a couple per se, these two definitely share a bromance. Kevin Hart, 5’2”, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, 6’5”, have a notably significant height difference of 6 inches. Despite this, they always see eye to eye—well, maybe not physically. Over the years, they’ve become very close. “He has truly become a great, great friend,” Johnson said on *The Jimmy Kimmel Show*. This pair are indeed bestie goals and we're all here for it.

Zendaya and Tom Holland

After meeting on a movie set back in 2016, Zendaya, who is 5'10", and Tom Holland, who is 5'8", have been practically inseparable. They began seeing each other after starring in *Spiderman* together, but it wasn’t officially confirmed until 2017 when they were seen kissing at a stop light. “My mom is taller than my dad. My mom’s taller than everyone,” Zendaya told *People* when asked about the slight height difference. Clearly, it’s a non-issue for the couple.

Clare Grant and Seth Green

Clare Grant and Seth Green have been married for over 11 years after starting out as just friends in 2007. They met at a comic book-related event and shortly realized that they had a lot in common. They tied the knot a year later and have been by each other's side ever since. Despite being a full three inches taller than her 5’4” husband, these two could not be a more perfect match.

Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox

In the on-and-off-again relationship that is Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox, there's one thing that will always remain a constant—their stark difference in height. MGK, known as Colson Baker to his close friends, is 6’4”, a whole foot taller than Fox. After deleting every Instagram post featuring her musician partner, it was safe to assume that the couple had gone to Splitsville. They have, however, been spotted attending high-profile events together. We wish them the best.
