To be honest, there aren’t that many things that can keep the attention of pop culture fans as much as those celebrity couples, which, apparently, are from completely different worlds. In other words, a tall model dating a short musician or an NBA giant with a tiny girlfriend, these kinds of couples make us realize that love doesn’t see our height. Some of these couples may only have a few inches of difference between them, while others make us think that one of them was secretly using a step stool for the photo shoot. Check out the 15 pairs of celebrities whose height differences shocked the crowd the most, going from the most subtle to the extremely obvious ones.
15. Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban
Nicole Kidman has always been envied for her statuesque, elegant physique; she’s 5’11”. Her husband, country musician Keith Urban, is 5’10”, so the disparity isn’t gigantic on paper. But when Kidman dons her signature heels, the disparity is immediately apparent. The couple teases about it, and Urban’s self-assurance alongside his towering wife only makes them more lovable. Kidman has dated her fair share of shorter men, and Urban never even seemed to bat an eye about it, just one more indication of how easy love can be when two people really click.
14. Zendaya & Tom Holland
One of the few reasons these two are so adorable is the way they simply don’t seem to care about the height difference between them. While Zendaya is 5’10”, Holland is 5’8″. By the way, these two guys are breaking the old-fashioned men’s myth of tall men being necessary, which people are very glad of. Whether they are fooling around at premieres or taking pictures on the red carpet, they have the air of being confident and calm. Their carefree communication is an obvious sign that love is not a measurement but rather sharing laughter, supporting, and respecting each other.
13. Cameron Diaz & Benji Madden
Who is naturally the center of attention is Cameron Diaz, a 5’9″ tall woman, whereas her husband Benji Madden is 5’6″ tall. It is pretty amazing to watch the short husband next to his wife, who is wearing heels, but the two have never made a point of it. Their love story, spanning seven years and beginning in 2014, is a living example of the saying “Love between the opposites”. The couple, despite the difference, has become a strong union based on mutual understanding, respect, and love, and thus, again, showing that height has nothing to do with happiness.
12. Tina Fey & Jeff Richmond
Tina Fey, the one widely known as the Comedy Empress, is 5’5″ and her husband, the composer and producer, Jeff Richmond, is 5’2″. Their height difference of only three inches has been the cause of a few jokes, even by Fey herself from time to time; however, they consider it a joke. They two met while they were going through the early stages of their comedy careers and have been together ever since. Their romantic and professional relationship, which are two different aspects of their life, are strongly intertwined, are a perfect example that humor can be the strongest love’s foundation, whatever the height of the partners.
11. Reese Witherspoon & Jim Toth
Reese Witherspoon might be a petite 5’1″, but in front of the camera, she’s a commanding presence. Her former husband, talent agent Jim Toth, stands at an imposing 6’1″ and thus created a full foot of contrast between them. Standing on red carpets, the contrast was always striking, but Witherspoon’s personality and poise meant that she was never overshadowed. During their marriage, they complemented each other to perfection, and that only highlighted that the best partnerships are all about energy and personality, and not physical dimensions.
10. Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard
It’s quite a common thing for Kristen Bell, who stands at a mere 5’1″, to poke fun at her husband, Dax Shepard, who is 6’2″, by saying that he looks like a giant next to her. Their 13-inch height difference is the reason for some of the funny photos and also the fights that they have. They tied the knot in 2013 and have since then had two daughters and a romance that is bright, honest, and down-to-earth. Their reckless love and sincere communication have been their main reasons for being popular as a couple in love, which is an obvious thing that humor, and maybe a few step-stools, can bridge even the widest gaps.
9. Isla Fisher & Sacha Baron Cohen
Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen can be termed as hilarious and tall, respectively. Fisher is only 5’3″, while Cohen is as tall as 6’3″. The difference between them is always noticeable when they walk on the red carpet, but it only makes them more attractive. Being sarcastic and quick-witted, the two partners are never short of self-deprecating or joint jests. Their height difference may be bigger, but so is their chemistry.
8. Megan Fox & Machine Gun Kelly
When you see the 12 inches of the height difference between a 5’4″ Megan Fox and a 6’4″ Machine Gun Kelly, it really completely shows the contrast visually. The contrast between the two is to be seen in their fashionable style, and their very loud characters are the perfect examples of that effect. Wherever they go, be it on stage, at an award show, or even in their streetwear, the couple has the rockstar look, which is beyond any height difference. They are definitely the most unconventional couple among us, and yet you cannot stop watching them, and their height difference is just a little thing in the bigger-than-life vibe that they emit.
7. Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton
One of the life and art opposites attraction theory cases could be the pop diva Gwen Stefani, 5’6″, and the country rocker Blake Shelton, 6’5″, with his long legs. It is their almost one-foot difference in height that makes their magic. The two lovers’ chemistry on the red carpets and the stage, The Voice is bubbling as ever. Although the tall and large frame of Shelton is quite different from the more petite figure of Stefani, thus making her more prominent, however, the two, like a pair of matching pieces of the puzzle, fit each other perfectly, which is a wonderful demonstration of love. This is proof that love can come from different worlds or different height ranges and still blend so harmoniously.
6. Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck
In terms of height difference, the Hollywood power couple, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who have been in an on-and-off relationship, are nine inches apart. Affleck is a pretty tall guy of 6’4″, while Lopez is a bit of a midget, as she is only 5’5″. Most of the time, by wearing sky-high heels, she more or less manages to make the ground even, but the fans always spot the difference. Nevertheless, their relationship is successful as they are at the same level in terms of energy and not height. The thing that they share on the red carpet is their way of letting the whole world know that chemistry, history, and sharing experiences are the real love factors.
5. Lisa Bonet & Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa is a giant of 6’4″ and Lisa Bonet is only 5’2″, so the height difference between them amounts to 14 inches. In any case, the difference in their heights just makes them look more like two halves of one whole, yin and yang, united. Jason Momoa’s enormous frame is what actually brings out Lisa Bonet’s fiery spirit and elegance. It is a demonstration that love does not have to be “evenly matched” to be powerful, which they showed when they were the great couple of Hollywood, although now they are not together.
4. Sarah Michelle Gellar & Freddie Prinze Jr.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, who is 5’4″, and Freddie Prinze Jr., 6’1″, have been married since 2002 and can be considered the living example of Hollywood scandal defiance with more than 20 years of love behind them. Their seven-inch gap is subtle but always there in the pictures of them together. Gellar’s shortness and Freddie’s tall, easy-going style fashion vibe work perfectly together. Their long-lasting marriage and stable family life are an affirmation of real love, not about being similar in height, but about growing together.
3. Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson
Jessica Simpson is 5’3″ tall, whereas the former NFL player, Eric Johnson, is 6’3″. The difference in their feet is the thing that most of the fans notice and can’t stop cheering for how adorable the couple looks. The height difference of the couple is the first thing that jumps to one’s mind when coming across their family pictures or photos from even however, Simpson’s lively personality is a perfect match for her husband’s height. They have been married for more than ten years, have three children together, and thus they are the living proof that love, laughter, and mutual support are much more valuable than who is taller.
2. Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith
Will Smith`s height is 6’2″, while Jada Pinkett Smith is only 5’0″. The difference in their height is, therefore, 14 inches. They have a very big height difference, which has always been the main topic of conversation and the main attention of the photographers every time they have their public appearance. The thing that really makes their bond different from others is not their height difference but rather their long-time relationship, honesty, and mutual understanding. Anyway, Jada, who is always his partner and his greatest support, in her own special way, while telling the world that from 2016 to present, they have been living separately but still as a couple, continues to be his partner and his greatest support in her own special way.
1. Chris Bosh & Adrienne Williams
The first place belongs to former NBA great Chris Bosh and his wife Adrienne Willi, with a height difference of two feet between them. At 6’11”, Bosh looks astonishingly tall next to his wife Adrienne, who is only 4’11”, and thus making them one of the couples with the most extreme height gap in the limelight. But despite this gap, the couple’s rapport is beyond any doubt. They have been married since 2011 and now have a family of four. The couple has proven to the world that the only “measurement” that truly matters in a relationship is love.
Love Beyond Inches
These celebrity couples are not only doing it in front of the camera at premieres with flashing cameras and glamor, but they also live it in reality. Whether they have only a few inches or as much as two feet of height difference, these celebrity couples are the ones to show that love, self-esteem, and harmony are always stronger than height differences. Therefore, the next time you see an unequal couple in terms of height, remember that love is always the tallest one.
