Celebrity Couples With Major Height Differences

Lindsey Carter 38 min read Sep 10, 2022

A person's height isn't something that they can generally control. Sure, they can add a few inches with the right footwear, but that's only a temporary measure. This means there's not much they can do if they fall for someone who's a lot taller or shorter than they are.

There are plenty of couples out there with extreme height differences, including some celebrity pairings. Their love has overcome any potential issues that might stem from their varied sizes. Still, it's usually hard not to notice the difference every time the two of them step out together.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson reportedly have a height difference of 13 inches

Pete Davidson height: 6 foot 3 inches
Kim Kardashian height: 5 foot 2 inches
Total height difference: 13 inches

When Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson began dating at the end of 2021, some considered it an unconventional pairing. As time went on, more and more were convinced that things were meant to be. That was until reports the pair unfortunately split emerged in August 2022, with many believing their relationship is over for good.

One thing that did come from the unexpected relationship was getting used to their height difference. With Celeb Heights claiming that Kim is 5ft 2in and Pete once saying on the variety show 'Saturday Night Live' that he's 6ft 3in, that means there was a difference of 13 inches between them. Sadly, fans likely won’t get to see it anymore.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have one of the bigger height differences at 14 inches

Will Smith height: 6 foot 2 inches
Jada Pinkett Smith: 5 foot
Total height difference: 14 inches

Extreme height differences aren't the first thing that comes to mind when people think of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith these days. The infamous slap at the 2022 Academy Awards now dominates the narrative whenever these two come up. However, that doesn't mean we can just overlook the gulf between these two regarding their heights.

Will Smith is reportedly 6ft 2in, while his wife is much shorter at an alleged 5ft. Those 14 inches are definitely noticeable when these two attend events together, even if Jada has heels on. It's been that way ever since the actress was rejected from the sitcom 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' for being too short to play Will's girlfriend.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are apparently separated by one foot

Machine Gun Kelly height: 6 foot 4 inches
Megan Fox height: 5 foot 4 inches
Total height difference: 12 inches

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have had quite a publicized relationship since getting together in 2020. They've never failed to attract attention for their antics, whether that's talking about drinking one another's blood or Megan calling her boyfriend "Daddy" on the red carpet. This isn't the only thing about them that people have noticed, though.

One look at the pairing, and it's clear that this is a couple with quite the height difference. According to Buzzfeed, Megan is 5ft 4in, while her boyfriend is apparently a foot taller at 6ft 4in. Extreme height differences like these tend to stand out on the red carpet, but it clearly hasn't deterred these two from being together.

LeBron James towers over Savannah Brinson with a reported 13-inch gap between them

LeBron James height: 6 foot 8 inches
Savannah Brinson height: 5 foot 7 inches
Total height difference: 13 inches

If you want to succeed in basketball, being tall is pretty crucial. The average height of a basketball player has changed over the years, but it's always been above 6ft 4in. So, it's maybe no surprise to hear that LeBron James - one of the greatest stars the sport has ever seen - is reportedly four inches taller than that.

With basketball players being so tall, extreme height differences are common in their romantic pairings. However, while the apparent 13-inch gap between LeBron and Savannah Brinson is pretty significant, it could definitely be bigger. Brinson is allegedly 5ft 7in, which is taller than plenty of other women, who tend to be closer to the 5-foot mark.

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher aren't concerned about their one-foot difference affecting their marriage

Sacha Baron Cohen height: 6 foot 3 inches
Isla Fisher height: 5 foot 3 inches
Total height difference: 12 inches

Sacha Baron Cohen is well-known for creating memorable characters. Through people like Borat, Brüno, and Ali-G, he completely transforms himself into someone totally different. However, something that always seems to stay the same is his height, which comes in at quite a tall 6ft 3in. It makes him a bit of a giant next to his wife.

Apparently, Isla Fisher is just 5ft 3in, making her one foot smaller than her husband. That evidently isn't an issue, given they've been married since 2010. They're more likely to separate because of differences over other views than the fact that Sacha is much taller than Isla. Even then, it would take a lot for them to split up.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck could have as much as one foot's difference between them

Ben Affleck height: 6 foot 2 inches - 6 foot 4 inches
Jennifer Lopez height: 5 foot 4 inches
Total height difference: 10 - 12 inches

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are one couple we never thought would reunite. After everything fell apart in the 2000s, most assumed that they'd moved on from the wedding that never happened. However, the pair got all nostalgic on us by reuniting in 2021 and reminding us of a few things about their iconic relationship.

This included the height difference between the two of them. Most websites seem to put Ben Affleck somewhere between 6ft 2in and 6ft 4in, while J-Lo's height is allegedly somewhere around the 5ft 4in mark. This means that there's roughly a foot between them, give or take a couple of inches. That clearly doesn't bother these lovebirds, though.

Kristen Bell is 14 inches smaller than Dax Shepard, but their love more than makes up for it

Dax Shepard height: 6 foot 2 inches
Kristen Bell height: 5 foot 1 inch
Total height difference: 13 inches

As celebrities with significant height differences go, these two definitely rank up there. Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are one of the most beloved couples in Hollywood, with their marriage soon to hit the 10-year mark. It seems that the love they have for one another makes up for the missing inches between them - all 13 of them.

Kristen is reportedly a little over 5 feet tall at 5ft 1in, while her husband is much taller at 6ft 2in. Evidently, the height differences aren't something that's been a problem for them, with Shepard initially turning down a role in the dramedy 'Parenthood' for his other half. It seems he didn't want to move too far away from her.

Jim Toth apparently has one foot on his wife, Reese Witherspoon

Jim Toth height: 6 foot 1 inch
Reese Witherspoon height: 5 foot 1 inch
Total height difference: 12 inches

Jim Toth is a man who understands talent, given that he works as a talent agent. Therefore, it's perhaps no surprise that he ended up falling for Reese Witherspoon, who has it by the bucketload. The two reportedly began dating in 2010, with their relationship evolving into a marriage the following year. They've been each other's rocks ever since.

Their love can seemingly overcome anything, including any major height differences between them. Reese is apparently 5ft 1in, while her husband is allegedly one foot taller than her at 6ft 1in. It's enough of a difference to be highly noticeable. However, it's not enough to ever prove problematic for their relationship, which has come a long way over the years.

Natalie Portman married her choreographer with a seven inch height difference

Benjamin Millipied height: 5 foot 10 inches
Natalie Portman height: 5 foot 3 inches
Total height difference: 7 inches

The psychological thriller film 'Black Swan' was a big deal for Natalie Portman, and not just because the actress walked away with an Oscar for her performance. It was through the movie that Portman met Benjamin Millipied, who apparently choreographed her ballet moves. Working so closely together seemingly ignited a spark, and by 2012, the duo was married.

Compared to some of these celebrity couples with extreme height differences, the distance between Natalie and Benjamin isn't astronomical. However, with her reportedly being 5ft 3in and him supposedly being 5ft 10in, there's still more than half a foot between them. This is definitely noticeable whenever the couple attends red carpet events together and stand next to each other.

There could be as much as two feet between Chris Bosh and Adrienne Williams

Chris Bosh height: 6 foot 11 inches
Adriene Williams height: 4 foot 11 inches - 5 foot
Total height difference: 23 - 24 inches

Speaking of basketball players with extreme height differences, this is a pairing that definitely proves that love comes in all sizes. Chris Bosh's body is perfectly suited to the sport because he apparently measures up just shy of 7 feet. Meanwhile, websites put his partner Adrienne Williams somewhere between 4ft 11in and 5ft, which is quite the difference.

There could be as much as two feet between these two, making for one of the biggest celebrity height differences around. We expect this must cause complications at times, given just how small Adrienne is compared to Chris. However, the pair got married more than a decade ago, so it clearly doesn't bother them that much.

Ashley Tisdale and Christopher French are reportedly separated by 13 inches

Christopher French height: 6 foot 4 inches
Ashley Tisdale height: 5 foot 3 inches
Total height difference: 13 inches

Ashley Tisdale has come a long way since being a Disney Channel sweetheart. For one, she's now gotten married, with the actress tying the knot with Christopher French in 2014. It seems that she loved the music he made and wanted to cement their love. She evidently wasn't bothered by how much taller Christopher was compared to her.

Tisdale is reportedly only around 5ft 3in, which is a pretty average height for an adult American woman but is significantly smaller than French's 6ft 4in stature. There's supposedly 13 inches between the two of them, and you can tell whenever the pair are together. Fortunately, love conquers all, including extreme height differences like this.

Almost a foot reportedly separates Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar

Freddie Prinze Jr. height: 6 foot 1 inch
Sarah Michelle Gellar height: 5 foot 2 inches
Total height difference: 11 inches

When it comes to relationships that have really gone the distance, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar deserve a mention. They celebrated 20 years of marriage in 2022, having first started dating in 2000. Their union reportedly blossomed after they crossed paths in the slasher film 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' which was released in 1997.

At the time, they were two of the biggest stars around, so their relationship attracted significant publicity. That meant a lot of attention was drawn to their differences, including the fact that Freddie is reportedly 11 inches taller than his wife. While he apparently stands at 6ft 1in, she's allegedly only 5ft 2in, making for quite an extreme height difference.

NFL star Eric Johnson is unsurprisingly one foot taller than Jessica Simpson

Eric Johnson height: 6 foot 3 inches
Jessica Simpson height: 5 foot 3 inches
Total height difference: 12 inches

Football is another sport where the players tend to be quite tall. Unlike with basketball, height is typically less of a priority than a person's build. However, CNN found that the average height of an NFL player has been at least 6 feet since 1974. So, it makes sense that Eric Johnson, who played for the 49ers, is 6ft 3in.

Being so tall means that his relationship with Jessica Simpson is another example of celebrities with extreme height differences. The singer is reportedly one foot shorter than him at 5ft 3in, so he'll always have an easier job of reaching places that she can't. That hasn't stopped the two of them from marrying and building a family together, though.

Hafþór Björnsson is a mountain next to Kelsey Henson, who's 19 inches smaller than him

Hafþór Björnsson height: 6 foot 9 inches
Kelsey Henson height: 5 foot 2 inches
Total height difference: 19 inches

There's a lot that separates Hafþór Björnsson and his wife, Kelsey Henson. With him being named the World's Strongest Man in 2018 and placing on the podium for eight consecutive years, he's understandably a lot bulkier than his partner. He's also much taller too, with Kelsey reportedly over one-and-a-half feet smaller than Hafþór. It's quite the contrast.

At 6ft 9in and 5ft 2 in, these two definitely have one of the most extreme height differences around. Whenever they're pictured standing together, the height variation is impossible to overlook. It doesn't seem to bother them, though, and that's all that matters. While their pairing might be surprising to some, appearances really aren't that big of a deal.

Deryck Whibley is six inches shorter than Ariana Cooper, who was his rock during difficult times

Deryck Whibley height: 5 foot 6 inches
Ariana Cooper height: 6 foot
Total height difference: 6 inches

One of the smaller but still noticeable height differences is between Deryck Whibley and Ariana Cooper. It's only six inches that separate the two of them, which might not seem like much after some of these extreme height differences. However, it still makes a big impression, especially as this is one of those occurrences when the woman is taller.

Ariana is reportedly 6ft tall, while Deryck is 5ft 6in, not that it matters to them. Cooper proved to be Whibley's rock in 2015 after he suffered organ failure because of substance abuse. The two weathered the storm and came out the other side stronger than ever. That's something that no amount of inches can ever change.

Gwen Stefani isn't small, but Blake Shelton is still almost a foot taller than her

Blake Shelton height: 6 foot 5 inches
Gwen Stefani height: 5 foot 6 inches
Total height difference: 11 inches

When a marriage breaks down, it can leave a person feeling like they'll never find love again. Thankfully, when it happened to both Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, they ended up finding love in one another. Now, they're one of the most adorable couples around, with their displays of affection definitely not few and far between.

There's a lot that ties these two together, such as their musical talent. However, there's plenty that separates them, too, including their heights. Gwen is by no means short at a reported 5ft 6in. However, because Blake is apparently 6ft 5in, there's still nearly a foot's difference between the two of them, as their many appearances together show.

Jane Lynch is far taller than the average woman, putting her eight inches above Jennifer Cheyne

Jane Lynch height: 6 foot
Jennifer Cheyne height: 5 foot 4 inches
Total height difference: 8 inches

Jane Lynch has had an incredible career since she began acting decades ago. TV shows like the game show 'Hollywood Game Night' and the dramedies' Glee' and 'The Marvelous Ms. Maisel' are just a select few of her many credits. Jennifer Cheyne hasn't been around for all of her achievements, but she's certainly making up for lost time now.

The pair were reportedly together for years before finally tying the knot in 2021. They seem incredibly happy together, even if they do have to contend with being more celebrities with extreme height differences. Lynch is far taller than the average American woman at a reported 6ft, while Cheyne is just 5ft 4in, marking a difference of eight inches.

Peter Hermann has nine inches on Mariska Hargitay, but that hasn't affected their marriage

Peter Hermann heights: 6 foot 5 inches
Mariska Hargitay height: 5 foot 8 inches
Total height difference: 9 inches

Mariska Hargitay made her film debut in the mid-'80s, and she hasn't looked back since. Over the years, she's made a splash on millions of screens, most notably as Olivia Benson in the crime drama 'Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.' Her work has earned her a Primetime Emmy and a Golden Globe while also introducing her to Peter Hermann.

The couple met through 'Law and Order' and have been married since 2004. Their love for one another has extended to a family of three kids and has overcome every bump in the road they've ever encountered. That includes the slight downside of Mariska being nine inches smaller than her husband's apparent 6ft 5in stature.

Country sweethearts Ryan Hurd and Maren Morris have an 11-inch height difference

Ryan Hurd height: 6 foot
Maren Morris height: 5 foot 1 inch
Total height difference: 11 inches

No genre of music is apparently more popular in the United States than country. That's according to a poll by CBS anyway. The genre is certainly more beloved here than anywhere else in the world, with many country stars finding great success on the charts. That includes Ryan Hurd and Maren Morris, one of the biggest couples in the genre.

Although the two have carved successful careers individually, they love performing together. Whenever they do, though, their significant height difference becomes clear. Maren's reported 5ft 1in height seems incredibly small next to Ryan's 6ft frame. While Morris can cover some of that difference with high heels, there aren't shoes big enough to help her gain an extra 11 inches.

Shawn Johnson being a gymnast and Andrew East being a football player results in a 15-inch height difference

Andrew East height: 6 foot 2 inches
Shawn Johnson height: 4 foot 11 inches
Total height difference: 15 inches

Just as some sports expect athletes to be tall, others expect them to be short. The average height of gymnasts has reportedly shrunk to under 5 feet over the years, so Shawn Johnson reportedly being 4ft 11in makes sense. Unfortunately, while her height might have helped her win Olympic medals, it makes her incredibly short next to her husband.

That's because she's married to Andrew East, a former NFL star. We know that people who play football tend to be pretty tall, and Andrew meets that requirement by allegedly being 6ft 2in. This puts him 15 inches above his wife, which is one of the most extreme height differences we've seen. They've apparently worked around it, though.

Vanessa Hudgens apparently likes her boyfriends tall, as Cole Tucker is allegedly 14 inches bigger than her

Cole Tucker height: 6 foot 3 inches
Vanessa Hudgens height: 5 foot 1 inch
Total height difference: 14 inches

To many people, Vanessa Hudgens will always be Gabriella Montez from the musical Disney film 'High School Musical.' She's done a lot with her life since that breakthrough role, though. She's starred in a bunch more films, appeared on Broadway, and had several long-term relationships. Her current relationship with Cole Tucker is relatively new, having started in 2021.

Vanessa will likely be hoping that Cole will stick around longer than previous boyfriends Zac Efron and Austin Butler did. Looking at these guys, it seems she may have a type, with Austin apparently being 11 inches taller than her. Cole is even bigger than that, at an alleged 6ft 3in to her 5ft 1in, marking a 14-inch difference.

Renée Zellweger is reportedly dating Ant Anstead, who's ten inches taller than her

Ant Anstead height: 6 foot 2 inches
Renée Zellweger height: 5 foot 4 inches
Total height difference: 10 inches

Renée Zellweger has had a career to be proud of, what with prominent roles in films like the rom-com 'Bridget Jones's Diary' and the biopic 'Judy.' Both earned her Academy Award nominations for Best Actress, with Zellweger winning for the latter film. Despite this success, though, her career isn't the only thing in her life that she cares about.

Renée is also passionate about love. She's had several notable relationships over the years and is now reportedly seeing Ant Anstead. Their romance stands out for several reasons, such as the fact that they're more celebrities with extreme height differences. While Ant is allegedly 6ft 2in, she's supposedly 5ft 4in. That leaves a gap of ten inches between them.

Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard are on-again, off-again, but not because of their nine-inch difference

Carl Radke height: 6 foot
Lindsay Hubbard height: 5 foot 3 inches
Total height difference: 9 inches

The relationship between Carl Radke and Lisa Hubbard has been quite a rollercoaster. They came into our lives through the reality show 'Summer House,' where they were initially just friends. This ultimately developed into something more before Carl reportedly said he wasn't interested in anything serious. It appears he may have changed his mind since then, though.

According to an interview at the start of 2022, Carl and Lisa are officially an item and are loving life together. It doesn't make much of a difference to them that he's significantly taller than her, believed to be around 6ft tall compared to her 5ft 3in. Just like everything else in their past, they've gotten over those nine inches.

Five must be Nicolas Cage's lucky number because his fifth wife is 5ft 5in

Nicolas Cage height: 6 foot
Riko Shibata height: 5 foot 5 inches
Total height difference: 7 inches

Nicolas Cage is known for a lot of things. His impressive catalog of films is one of them, while his ability to be a meme king is another. Also up there, though, is his love life. It's safe to say that he hasn't shied away from romance over the years, tying the knot with five different women.

Riko Shibata is his latest wife, and we're hopeful that she'll be the one he sticks with forever. Although they only got married in 2021, they seem like a strong pairing. Sure, they have their differences, but it's nothing they can't overcome. Even them being two different heights - him being 6ft and her being 5ft 5in - is nothing major.

A six-inch height difference isn't enough to come between Lena Dunham and Luis Felber

Luis Felber height: 5 foot 9 inches
Lena Dunham height: 5 foot 3 inches
Total height difference: 6 inches

Lena Dunham really made a splash when she created the dramedy series 'Girls,' which debuted in 2012. The show earned her Golden Globe awards and sent her skyrocketing into mainstream media, where she's been able to carve out a successful career for herself. However, it apparently didn't help win over her husband, given that Luis Felber has never seen 'Girls.'

Despite not watching Lena's breakthrough show, though, Luis evidently cares deeply for the woman. Otherwise, he wouldn't have tied the knot with her months after their blind date, right? Their relationship must be quite a strong one, meaning something as small as a six-inch height difference can't tear them apart. He's allegedly 5ft 9in while she's apparently 5ft 3in.

When Ashley Benson and G-Eazy aren't on a break, there's 13 inches between their heights

G-Eazy height: 6 foot 4 inches
Ashley Benson height: 5 foot 3 inches
Total height difference: 13 inches

Ashley Benson and G-Eazy are one of those couples where it's hard to tell whether or not they're together. They seem to break up and then reunite fairly frequently, so you never know whether they're an item or not. Regardless of their current status, though, there's no denying the extreme height differences between them whenever they are together.

While Ashley stands at around 5ft 3in, her on-again, off-again boyfriend is allegedly much taller at 6ft 4in. This puts more than a foot between them, so we can certainly consider them celebrities with major height differences. Hopefully, those 13 inches aren't what keeps coming between these two. We expect the problems are probably something much deeper.

The breakdown of Shakira and Gerard Pique's marriage means we won't see their 14-inch difference anymore

Gerard Pique height: 6 foot 4 inches
Shakira height: 5 foot 2 inches
Total height difference: 14 inches

For the longest time, we thought that Shakira and Gerard Pique were the epitome of love. While plenty of celebrity marriages come together and break down in the blink of an eye, they always stood strong, appearing to be just as in love as when they tied the knot in 2011. Sadly, 2022 brought an end to all this.

Amid reports of Gerard being unfaithful, the couple has decided to separate. That means no more cute social media posts or working together on philanthropic endeavors as they so often have. It also means they lose their standing as one of these celebrity couples with extreme height differences. Pique's 6ft 4in stature always stood out next to Shakira's 5ft frame.

Jason Momoa being 14 inches taller than Lisa Bonet used to offer quite the contrast

Jason Momoa height: 6 foot 4 inches
Lisa Bonet height: 5 foot 2 inches
Total height difference: 14 inches

Another strong relationship that fell apart in 2022 is the one between Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet. These two only got married in 2017 but had apparently been together as far back as 2005. Unfortunately, despite their love lasting such a long time, they split at the start of the year with no sign of a reunion on the cards.

These two were another excellent example of celebrities with extreme height differences, thanks to the 14 inches separating them. While Lisa was a little under the average at 5ft 2in, Jason was a remarkably tall 6ft 4in. Combined with his hulking body, they often made quite the contrast on the red carpet. Sadly, we won't get to see that anymore.

There were 11 inches between Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick when they were together

Scott Disick height: 5 foot 11 inches
Kourtney Kardashian height: 5 foot
Total height difference: 11 inches

When it comes to relationships that don't exist anymore, the Kardashian family has quite a few. While most women in the family seem to be happily settled now, their past was something of a rollercoaster. That was definitely the case with Kourtney Kardashian, who had a long-term relationship with Scott Disick that featured plenty of good and bad moments.

After being on-again, off-again for years, the couple ultimately parted ways in 2015. There's no denying that they made quite an impression when they were together, particularly on the red carpet. They had one of the more extreme height differences, with 11 inches between the two of them. Scott is reportedly 5ft 11in, while Kourtney is supposedly 5ft.

Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko couldn't have contrasted more with their 18-inch height difference

Wladimir Klitschko height: 6 foot 6 inches
Hayden Panettiere height: 5 foot
Total height difference: 18 inches

One look at the former pairing of Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko makes it clear that these two were a case of opposites attracting. From an entirely visual standpoint, they couldn't have been more different. While she had a slim figure and a reported height of 5ft, he was made of muscle and measured at around 6ft 6in.

The reason they looked the way they did made sense, what with her being an actress and him a boxer. Still, with them having one of the most extreme height differences in Hollywood, they always turned heads whenever they went anywhere together. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be for the two of them, and they ended things in 2018.

The 13 inches between Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy weren't what had everyone talking

Olivier Sarkozy height: 6 foot 3 inches
Mary-Kate Olsen height: 5 foot 2 inches
Total height difference: 13 inches

Back in the day, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were some of the biggest child stars around. As they grew older, though, the twins steered away from acting and focused more on fashion. It means the two of them haven't been in the spotlight as much, although they've managed to steal focus every now and then, particularly with their relationships.

Mary-Kate certainly attracted plenty of interest when she married French banker Olivier Sarkozy. He was in his 40s at the time while she was still in her 20s, something that sparked a lot of discussion. It made their 13-inch height difference almost like an afterthought, although it definitely still stood out. Olivier's 6ft 3in frame dwarfed Mary-Kate's 5ft 2in stature.

Without heels on, Lady Gaga was apparently eight inches smaller than Christian Carino

Christian Carino height: 5 foot 9 inches
Lady Gaga height: 5 foot 1 inch
Total height difference: 8 inches

Lady Gaga is a superstar, so she should rightfully have people lining up desperate to romance her. However, the singer isn't really known for her relationships. Her best-known relationship was with Taylor Kinney, which broke down in 2016 while the pair were engaged. Two years later, she got engaged again, this time to Christian Carino, but this also didn't last.

They were only engaged for a few months before parting ways. The Hollywood agent, who recently returned to the spotlight with his role in the Johnny Depp defamation trial, apparently wasn't the one for Gaga. Presumably, the height difference wasn't to blame, with Carino allegedly eight inches taller than the singer at around 5ft 9in.

Fergie and Josh Duhamel reportedly had 13 inches difference between them while married

Josh Duhamel height: 6 foot 3 inches
Fergie height: 5 foot 2 inches
Total height difference: 13 inches

Whether she's with the Black Eyed Peas or on her own, Fergie never fails to prove why she's one of the biggest divas around. She's had many hits during her career, some of which came while she was married to Josh Duhamel. Unfortunately, Fergie won't have him around to support any future success that she achieves now that they're divorced.

The couple finalized their separation in 2019 after a decade of marriage. It wasn't easy to come to terms with, but at least we'll always be able to remember the good times. For instance, the extreme height differences they rocked on the red carpet. Josh being around 6ft 3in and Fergie being 5ft 2in made for some eye-catching photos.

La La isn't small but being 14 inches shorter than Carmelo Anthony made her look it during their marriage

Carmelo Anthony height: 6 foot 8 inches
La La height: 5 foot 6 inches
Total height difference: 14 inches

Carmelo Anthony might be known as a small forward, but that's the only thing small about him. Coming in at 6ft 8in, he's one of the tallest celebrities around. Of course, being surrounded by basketball players for so long, he probably feels like his height is pretty average. Well, that is until he goes home anyway.

Carmelo is probably accustomed to always being the tall one in his relationships, usually by a lot. It was certainly the case while he was with La La, who was reportedly some 14 inches shorter than him. While 5ft 6in definitely isn't small compared to the average height of US women, La La would always seem tiny next to Carmelo.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth had a ten-inch difference that was overshadowed by relationship drama

Liam Hemsworth height: 6 foot 3 inches
Miley Cyrus height: 5 foot 5 inches
Total height difference: 10 inches

For some of these celebrity couples with extreme height differences, the size difference is the most notable thing about them. Not Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, though. When these two were together, the rollercoaster ride of their relationship meant that stuff like this usually took a backseat. It was only in the early days that it really stood out.

Of course, with Miley allegedly being 5ft 5in and Liam being 6ft 3in, there were ten inches between them, and you could definitely tell. Even if the singer had heels on, she only came up to his chin. However, this got overshadowed by the drama, with Miley calling their marriage a disaster that she went into for the wrong reasons.

Reese Witherspoon was shorter than Jake Gyllenhaal by ten inches during their relationship

Jake Gyllenhaal height: 5 foot 11 inches
Reese Witherspoon height: 5 foot 1 inch
Total height difference: 10 inches

Reese Witherspoon might now be with Jim Toth, but that doesn't mean he's the only man she's ever had eyes for. One of her earlier relationships was with Jake Gyllenhaal, who she romanced in the late 2000s. Given their respective star power, they were quite the item back then, although that wasn't the only reason they stood out.

At 5ft 1in, Reese knows that most men she encounters will be taller than her. When she was with Jake, this was quite noticeable because he was roughly 5ft 11in. With ten inches between them, they could definitely be considered one of these celebrity couples with major height differences. Still, the difference only got bigger when she met Jim.

Khloé Kardashian is incredibly tall but was still a foot shorter than Lamar Odom

Lamar Odom height: 6 foot 10 inches
Khloé Kardashian height: 5 foot 10 inches
Total height difference: 12 inches

The Kardashian sisters seem to have a thing for significant height differences. One of Khloé's most famous relationships was with Lamar Odom, with the pair being married between 2009 and 2016. Although their love didn't last, the couple left an impression on everyone else that isn't easy to forget about. That includes the size difference between them.

Khloé is far from short, with her alleged 5ft 10in height making her one of the tallest women on this list. However, she married a basketball player, so he was inevitably going to be a fair bit larger than her. The difference ended up being as much as one foot, thanks to Odom's reported height of 6ft 10in.

Katie Holmes was only two inches taller than Tom Cruise, but it sometimes seemed like more

Tom Cruise height: 5 foot 7 inches
Katie Holmes height: 5 foot 9 inches
Total height difference: 2 inches

In a list full of celebrity couples with extreme height differences, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise stand out. That's because there's only two inches between them. However, the gap was still notable during their marriage, especially with Katie's heels. With her being the taller one at 5ft 9in, her heels increased the divide between them instead of bridging the gap.

On the red carpet, it looked like they had one of the more significant height differences that we've seen with these celebrity couples. Considering that Cruise has sometimes been overlooked because of his height and had to work harder to prove himself, a few inches difference probably felt more like a few feet to him.

Kris Humphries was around 19 inches taller than Kim Kardashian during their short marriage

Kris Humphries height: 6 foot 9 inches
Kim Kardashian height: 5 foot 2 inches
Total height difference: 19 inches

Kim seems to be another of these celebrities who loves a height difference when it comes to her relationships. While the contrast between her and Pete Davidson was quite significant, the comedian isn't actually the tallest man that the reality star has been with. That honor likely goes to Kris Humphries, who apparently exceeded her height by one-and-a-half feet.

For someone to be this much taller than their partner, you may well assume that the guy is a basketball player. Well, you'd be right. The 6ft 9in star played for the NBA when he and Kim Kardashian tied the knot. Theirs was an infamously short marriage of 72 days, for which she now feels he deserves an apology.

Eight inches reportedly separated Twilight co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson height: 6 foot 1 inch
Kristen Stewart height: 5 foot 5 inches
Total height difference: 8 inches

Being the leads in the romantic-fantasy 'Twilight' films were both a blessing and a curse for Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. While the movies brought them immense success, many believed they damaged their reputations as legitimate actors. Thankfully, they've both proven their worth in the years since, through films like the biographical drama 'Spencer' and the superhero movie 'The Batman.'

The 'Twilight' franchise is also what brought these two together, although the relationship didn't last long. It ended dramatically after Kristen allegedly had an affair. Despite their troubles, though, the two did often appear happy on the red carpet. It was here that the difference between Stewart's 5ft 5in stature and Pattinson's 6ft 1in frame was usually quite noticeable.

Shaquille O'Neal towered over Nicole Alexander by almost two feet

Shaquille O’Neal height: 7 foot 1 inch
Nicole Alexander height: 5 foot 2 inches
Total height difference: 23 inches

Shaquille O'Neal is one of those names that almost everyone knows, regardless of whether they're into sports. He really made his mark during his time in the NBA and now he gets to reap all the benefits that come from that success. That includes finding love easily whenever a relationship breaks down, just as he did with Nicole Alexander.

The two were together for several years after he and Shaunie Nelson got a divorce. One of the most notable things about their romance was the gulf between their heights. While Shaquille is a whopping 7ft 1in, Nicole is apparently just 5ft 2in. There was almost two feet between them, easily making this one of the most significant height differences.

Salma Hayek was nearly a foot shorter than Edward Norton during their on-again, off-again relationship

Edward Norton height: 5 foot 10 inches
Salma Hayek height: 5 foot 2 inches
Total height difference: 8 inches

Nowadays, Salma Hayek appears pretty happily married to François-Henri Pinault, having tied the knot with the billionaire in 2009. Earlier in the 2000s, though, the actress did enjoy a relationship with Edward Norton. Their romance was much more on-and-off than what she has now. However, Hayek still had plenty of happy moments during her time with Norton.

Something that Hayek got with this relationship - which is less pronounced in her current marriage - is a significant height difference. The actress is reportedly around 5ft 2in, which is nearly a foot shorter than Norton's alleged 6ft 1in build. Websites seem to differ regarding Pinault's height, but at most, he's apparently 5ft 10in, a few inches off of Edward.

Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner enjoyed a nine-inch gap during their relationship

Brody Jenner height: 5 foot 10 inches
Avril Lavigne height: 5 foot 1 inch
Total height difference: 9 inches

It seems the Kardashian sisters aren't the only ones in the Kardashian-Jenner clan that enjoy these extreme height differences. Brody Jenner has also dated women that are quite a different size from him, although it's been a reverse situation. Rather than being with people much taller than him, he romanced women who are a lot shorter. That includes Avril Lavigne.

The singer is apparently only 5ft 1in, so she's someone else who typically has no choice but to date people a lot taller than her. Being with Brody, she seemingly opted for a difference of nine inches, as he's allegedly 5ft 10in. The difference could have been more dramatic, but it was still quite pronounced when they were together.

Ryan Reynolds stood ten inches taller than his wife when he was married to Scarlett Johansson

Ryan Reynolds height: 6 foot 2 inches
Scarlett Johansson height: 5 foot 4 inches
Total height difference: 10 inches

The world tends to forget that Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson were ever a thing. That's namely because both always seem so loved-up with their respective partners. However, as they're both Hollywood stars, it should come as no great surprise that they were once linked. In fact, they were even married for a few years before getting divorced in 2011.

Given their careers, the pair often faced discussions over who was more famous than the other. However, they were both stars in their own right, so such arguments had no real merit. Something that one did have over the other, though, was height. While Ryan was apparently 6ft 2in, Scarlett was reportedly only 5ft 4in, making him 10 inches taller.

Kristen Cavallari and Jay Cutler had issues, but their nine-inch height difference wasn't one of them

Jay Cutler height: 6 foot 3 inches
Kristen Cavallari height: 5 foot 6 inches
Total height difference: 9 inches

Kristin Cavallari tends to be better known for her reality TV work than for being in one of these famous couples with extreme height differences. However, while she was with Jay Cutler, there's no denying that the two of them were very different sizes. While she measured at a respectable 5ft 6in, he was apparently much closer to 6ft 3in.

The nine inches was usually pretty noticeable, but it never seemed to be an issue for the pair. If it were, they likely wouldn't have been married for almost a decade. Unfortunately, the couple apparently had issues that they couldn't resolve, which resulted in them getting a divorce in 2020. This reportedly wasn't finalized until June 2022.

Kaley Cuoco was 11 inches shorter than Ryan Sweeting during their relatively short marriage

Ryan Sweeting height: 6 foot 5 inches
Kaley Cuoco height: 5 foot 6 inches
Total height difference: 11 inches

Few people can claim to be one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. However, at one point, Kaley Cuoco was reportedly making a million dollars for every episode of the sitcom 'The Big Bang Theory' that she filmed. Unfortunately, she doesn't have that paycheck anymore, which isn't the only thing that Kaley's lost over the years.

Cuoco used to be married to Ryan Sweeting before things fell apart several years after their wedding. They were reportedly engaged within months of dating and got married not long after that. Perhaps she was won over by the man's height, what with Sweeting apparently being 6ft 5in? He was 11 inches taller than her reported 5ft 6in size.

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan had one of the biggest height differences at ten inches

Channing Tatum height: 6 foot 1 inch
Jenna Dewan height: 5 foot 3 inches
Total height difference: 10 inches

When Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan split up, fans were devastated. Theirs was a relationship that many people didn't see ending, so when it fell apart in 2018, it was quite a shock to the system. They'd been married for almost a decade during that time, by which point something had become very obvious to anyone that saw them.

With Tatum allegedly being 6ft 1in and Jenna more like 5ft 3in, there was a good ten inches between them. That made for one of the more significant celebrity height differences around, particularly for a couple where neither was a sports star. We can only assume that the distance between their heights didn't impact the breakdown of the relationship.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have the bigger height difference in the two Madden brother's relationships

Joel Madden height: 5 foot 9 inches
Nicole Richie height: 5 foot 2 inches
Total height difference: 7 inches

The Madden Brothers haven't done a bad job when it comes to marrying famous women. Benji Madden tied the knot with Cameron Diaz in 2015, while sibling Joel has been Nicole Richie's husband since 2010. Both brothers appear happily married, although when it comes to extreme height differences, one couple stands out more than the other.

This is Nicole and Joel, as there's reportedly seven inches between the two of them. She's apparently 5ft 2in while he's allegedly 5ft 9in, a few inches taller than his brother. He's actually supposedly the same height as Cameron Diaz, making her the taller one in her relationship. However, it's not by as much as his brother- and sister-in-law.

Lea Michele's husband is seven inches taller than her, but he's not the tallest man she's been with

Zandy Reich height: 5 foot 10 inches
Lea Michele height: 5 foot 3 inches
Total height difference: 7 inches

Lea Michele definitely knows a thing or two about dating guys with significant height differences. When she was with Matthew Paetz, there was almost a foot between them, thanks to him reportedly being 6ft 2 and her 5ft 3in. However, the relationship didn't last as now Michele is married to another man, one who's also quite tall.

Although Zandy Reich doesn't quite hit the heights of Matthew Paetz, at a reported 5ft 10in, he's still quite a bit bigger than his wife. The two of them got married in 2019 and haven't appeared to have had any issues since. We expect he'll support his partner 100% following the news of her dream Broadway role in ‘Funny Girl.’

Eva Longoria and José Bastón are six inches apart, half of what her last marriage was

José Bastón height: 5 foot 8 inches
Eva Longoria height: 5 foot 2 inches
Total height difference: 6 inches

Eva Longoria understands what it's like dealing with the significant height differences between basketball players and everyone else. She used to be married to Tony Parker, who was reportedly a foot taller than her at 6ft 2in. They've been divorced for years, though, and she's now married to José Bastón, who's still quite a bit taller than her.

The difference between the couple is about half of what it was in her previous marriage, with Bastón around 5ft 8in while Longoria is 5ft 2in. While the gap is less pronounced, there's still six noticeable inches between the two of them. So, they still have their place in this list of celebrity couples with extreme height differences.

Peter Dinklage is 13 inches shorter than Erica Schmidt, thanks to his achondroplasia

Peter Dinklage height: 4 foot 5 inches
Erica Schmidt height: 5 foot 6 inches
Total height difference: 13 inches

For Peter Dinklage, his height has always been a major talking point. That's because he has achondroplasia, a common form of dwarfism. He's only 4ft 5in tall because of it, which puts him almost a foot shorter than the average American woman. So, it's perhaps not a surprise that Peter’s wife is quite a bit taller than him.

Erica Schmidt is apparently 5ft 6in, meaning there's 13 inches between the two of them. Of these celebrity couples with major height differences, she's the only woman to be that much taller than her partner. It seems like she doesn't care about being so much bigger, though, and neither does he. After all, they've been married since 2005.

Chris Hemsworth is a foot taller than Elsa Pataky, but it's old news to them by now

Chris Hemsworth height: 6 foot 3 inches
Elsa Pataky height: 5 foot 3 inches
Total height difference: 12 inches

It seems that being tall is in the Hemsworth DNA. Liam isn't the only one who's been significantly taller than his other half; it's happened with Chris too. In fact, it's still happening, as his wife is allegedly a foot shorter than him. While he reportedly comes in at 6ft 3in, Elsa Pataky is supposedly only 5ft 3in.

It's a noticeable gap, as it always is with these celebrity couples with extreme height differences. However, the pair wouldn't be over a decade into their marriage if it was anything they couldn't deal with. We're sure that they no longer think twice about the difference, with Elsa even potentially using her husband's height to her advantage when she can.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are ten inches different and took years to get together

Ashton Kutcher height: 6 foot 2 inches
Mila Kunis height: 5 foot 4 inches
Total height difference: 10 inches

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have been in each other's lives for a long time. They met while filming the sitcom 'That '70s Show,' which began production in the late 1990s. However, it wasn't until much later that they became an item, reportedly getting together in 2012 and then marrying in 2015. There's been no sign of them splitting since.

Thanks to the pair's success as actors, their relationship is one that attracts a ton of media attention. When this happens, it's usually hard not to notice that they're another of these celebrity couples with significant height differences. Kunis is apparently 5ft 4in, meaning she's ten inches shorter than her husband, who's reportedly 6ft 2in.

Ariel Winter swapped one tall boyfriend for another, with Luke Benward being 13 inches bigger

Luke Benward height: 6 foot 2 inches
Ariel Winter height: 5 foot 1 inch
Total height difference: 13 inches

Ariel Winter seems to be another of these celebrities who favors extreme height differences. For a long time, she was reportedly dating Levi Meaden, who was apparently ten inches taller than her. While 5ft 11in might not be gigantic compared to some of these celebrity men, it's pretty significant when you consider that Ariel is only 5ft 1in.

Of course, she and Levi are no longer an item, with the actress apparently now dating Luke Benward. Their pairing is notable because he's allegedly even taller, reportedly as big as 6ft 2in. Those extra three inches mean the size difference is definitely noticeable when they're pictured together, which hasn't actually been that much since they reportedly got together.

Travis Barker is slightly shorter than Scott Disick but still nine inches taller than Kourtney Kardashian

Tavis Barker height: 5 foot 9 inches
Kourtney Kardashian height: 5 foot
Total height difference: 9 inches

Anyone hoping for a Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick reunion might end up very disappointed. The reality star seems solely interested in looking to the future rather than focusing on the past, which is why she's moved on from her ex. In fact, Kourtney's so over him that she's now married to Travis Barker of Blink-182 fame.

Barker is no stranger to tying the knot, but he and Kourtney will be hoping that third time's the charm with this one. They certainly make for quite the eye-catching pairing, both because of Travis' tattoos and the height difference between them. He's apparently 5ft 9in, so her being 5ft means that there's a good nine inches between them.
