We all know it - a height difference is not a factor when love is in the air. We know it, but many do not act upon it. It's really sad that there are many celebrities who think too much about their image in the press or on TMZ instead of their own feelings.
They could let a simple thing as height difference interfere with their life. Let’s take a look at these famous people who won’t let it ruin their love life.
Shaquille O’Neal and Laticia Rolle: 7’1” and 5’6”

While they may have a difference in height with Rolle standing at five-foot-two, they also have something in common. Rolle was also a basketball player in her senior year!

Next page, a really weird couple. They complete each other.
Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden: 5’9” and 5’7”

Next, the guy never rests. How can he?

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher: 5’4” and 6’2”
This gorgeous duo started off as friends with benefits after both coming out of long relationships. But their chemistry and connection were too clear to ignore, and they got serious pretty soon, eventually tying the know in 2015.

Liam and Miley, the couple that have been through everything, met on the set of the Nicholas Spark’s film adaptation The Last Song in 2009. The chemistry was instant and the two have been on and off…and on and off…and on and off every sine.
Their height difference doesn’t play a part though, the on and off nature of their relationship is more due to Miley going through a lot of changes the past years. She is finally more stable and the two seem to be back on for good.
Zendaya and Tom Holland (5’10” and 5’8?)
Tom Holland stole all of our hearts in his Spiderman role in the movie Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017). After he met the actress Zendaya on the set of Spiderman they started to date, Zendaya speaking on when they met "She says when we first met it was super awkward because he went for a handshake and I went for a hug.

Darke and Radcliffe met on the set of Kill Your Darlings in 2013 in which Radcliffe starred as Allen Ginsberg and Darke played a character named Gwendolyn. The two hit it off from the beginning and have now been dating for 6 years.
They are another couple on the list that proves height is just a number. The Harry Potter star is 2 inches shorter than his girlfriend and the two seem less than bothered by it.
Ashley Tisdale and Christopher French (5’3? and 6’4?)
Ashley Tisdale and husband Christopher French are one of the cuter and lesser-known Hollywood couples. Tisdale, is a well-known actress and singer and former Disney Channel star, and French is a less well-known musician, Though the two have over a foot between them, the music-driven couple have been in love ever since they first started dating in 2012 and later got married in September 2014.

They prove that the longevity of your relationship has nothing to do with height difference. Jenna Elfman stands an inch over her husband and they have been happily married for over 23 years!
Kevin Hart and Eniko Parrish: 5’4” and 5’7”
Hart knows how to use what he has. The comedian often uses his rather short height in his comedy routines and his happy to poke fun at himself.

Jamie Cullum and Sophie Dahl: 5’5” and 6’0”
This pair is totally indifferent about their seven-inch height difference. The fact is that despite the Jazz Singer Jamie Cullum being towered by his English fashion model wife, they are happy and in love! .As Dahl once said the gossip over she and her partner's height didn’t bother her. ‘I find it weird but when you’re really happy you don’t give a shit. I think if we were both slightly more neurotic people, it would be crippling, but the fact of the matter is that we’re both happy.’
Jamie and Sophie said their vows in 2010 and since then have two daughters together. They remain smitten with one another height difference or not.
Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler: 5’6” and 6’3”

Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler: 5‘1” and 6’0”
High School Musical star and Coachella queen is tiny and stands at only 5’1” feet! Her height is especially emphasized when she’s pictured next to her man actor and singer Austin Butler. The two don’t seem to mind a bit and have an adorable relationship which you can follow on either one of their Instagram’s.
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend: 5’9” and 5’9”
Okay so technically they’re the same height, but we know our favorite social media star Chrissy Teigen is always in heels (or a towel) so she towered over John Legend in pretty much every picture. Yet another favorite Hollywood couple proving height disparities mean nothing!
Gwendoline Christie and Giles Deacon: 6’3” and 6’1”
It seems Sophie Turner isn’t the only Game of Thrones goddess who isn’t afraid to date shorter guys- Gwendoline who is 6 feet 3 inches tall is dating fashion designer Giles Deacon who is a few inches shorter than her.
Tina Fey and Jeff Richmond: 5’5” and 5’5”
Although this creative couple claim to be the same height, judging by all the pictures snapped of them both on and off the red carpet, it seems that Tina Fey is definitely a little taller than her husband. But height aside, these two make a great duo and keep us in stitches.
Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whitely: 5’10” and 5’9”
Yet another couple who claims the woman is shorter but…uhhhh? Either way, although Jason Statham may always play the stereotypical masculine role who is only into car, guns, and babes, it seems in real life he gets that dating a taller woman is no dig at one’s manhood. The actor is often towered over by his model wife at the red carpet and doesn’t seem to mind a bit.
Sabrina Dhowre and Idris Elba: 5’11” and 6’3”
The four-inch difference between English actor Idris Elba and his American model fiancé Sabrina Dhowre means next to nothing. These two have been seeing each other since 2017 and the Luther star popped the question to former Miss Vancouver very publicly on a stage in a London cinema in February 2018.
Sofia Wellesley and James Blunt: 5’10” and 5’8”
Although the exact height of the British socialite Sophia is not known, it’s clear she’s at least a few inches taller than her musician husband. These two are basically British royalty. They got married in 2014 and welcomed a son in 2016. The godfather to their son is none other than Ed Sheeran.
Coco Rocha and James Conran 5’1-“ and 5’8”
Coco Rocha, Canadian model stands at the supermodel height of 5’10, around two inches taller than her husband. But James Conran, a British artist, cares not and only has constant love and praise for his wife. He is not shy to express how lucky he feels and describes himself on his Twitter bio "the world's foremost Coco Rocha fan and expert" Did someone say adorable?
Alessandra Ambrosio and Jamie Mazur: 5’10” and 5’8”
It makes sense to find many models on the list, after all long legs is a must. This dup was introduced by a mutual friend at a wedding. The supermodel and businessman hit it off instantly. Between them, they have two inches and two daughters. They got engaged in 2008 but don’t seem to be in a rush to tie the knot.
Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Channing Tatum: 5’2” and 6’
Yes, we know, they are no longer together. But we are not over this pair and hence they deserve to be on this list. These two met of 2006’s Step Up. They played love interests and their chemistry never died, they got married three years later and welcomes a daughter in 2013. we are still hoping for a reunion for this ultimate pair.
Geena Davis and Reza Jarrahy: 6’ and 5’10”
She is one of the tallest woman in Hollywood and one of the tallest Oscar winners ever. Davis is a few inches taller than her fourth husband, plastic surgeon Reza, and when she dons heels the height difference is even more obvious. These two said their vows in 2001 and have three children.
Adriana Curry and Christopher Knight: 5’11” and 5’9”
Let’s be honest, no one expects relationships at the center of reality TV to last. And such was the case with America’s Next Top Model winner Adrianna Curry and former Brady Bunch star Christopher Knight. Truth is, their height difference was the least of the problems. From the tendency to publicly ridicule one another to a few decades age gap, they inevitably got divorced in 2013.
Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy: 5’9” and 5’4”
Height is rather a soft spot for the former French president Nicolas Sarkozy who stands at 5’5”. Reportedly he never leaves home without cleverly designed heel shows and his wife Carla Bruni is always seen in flats…
Slavica and Bernie Ecclestone: 6’2” and 5’2”
Bernie Ecclestone is a very small man with a very large fortune. The former chief executive of the Formula One group seems not to bat an eye at dating or marrying women who are a foot taller than him. take the Croatian model Slavica, his ex-wife who stands a full foot above him!
Anna Faris and Chris Pratt: 5’5” and 6’2”
Another former Hollywood golden couple who we are still mourning for. Funny girl Anna Farris and her ex Chris Pratt truly seemed like they had it all. But they announced their decision to separate in August 2017 after eight years of marriage and no, we are still not over it.
Amy Poehler and Will Arnett: 5’2” and 6’2”
Maybe these two were just too hilarious to exist as a couple…these two clearly had more differences than just a foot in height and after nine years of marriage they called it quits. They still work together to raise their two sons.
Eliza Dushku and Rick Fox 5’5” and 6’7”
Although Eliza Dushku is not particularly short at 5’5”, when she dated former basketball player Rick Fox from 2010 to 2014, she seemed miniature next to his huge 6’7” frame! Although come to think of it, anyone would be short next to him.
Christina Ricci and James Heerdegen: 5’1” and over 6’
Although James Heerdegen exact height is not known, he is clearly a giant next to his petite wife, actress Christina Ricci. Seems she has a thing for tall guys, her ex-fiancé Owen Benjamin was also rather tall at 6’6”!
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries: 5’2” and 6’9”
We all know the story of the 72-day married which ensued for the whole world to see between reality star Kimmy K and basketball player Kris Humphries. Nothing about them was positive, from their weird height difference to his awful attitude. Glad it’s the era of.
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.: 5’2” and 6’1”
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (aka Sarah Michelle Gellar) found love with the taller Freddie Prinz Jr. the two met on the set of the 1997 horrors I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Their four-inch height difference has done nothing to diminish their love. They share two daughters and fans are obsessed with their long-lasting and pure love.
Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima: 5’0” and 6’2”
Kourtney is the Kardashian sister who people consider the most down-to-earth. Despite her celeb status as a Kardashian sister she has kept her relationship with the much younger Younes pretty private.
Kardashian, 39, and Bedjima, 24, met in Paris the “City of Love” in 2016 and have been in love and traveling the world ever since (just look at their Instagram’s). The two recently made headlines when Younes expressed his disapproval of one of Kourtney’s more revealing pictures, but we hear all is still well between the love-birds despite their age and height difference.
Shakira and Gerard Pique: 5’0” and 6’4”
This gorgeous duo met when Shakira was filming the music video Waka Waka which was the official 2010 world cup theme song. The Hips don't lie crooner Shakira Mebarak and Spanish soccer star Gerard Pique got hitched in 2011 and now have two children together.
Like many others on the list, they also have quite the age gap with Shakira being 41 and Pique 31. But this seems totally irrelevant and the two have been glued to each other’s side since they got together.
Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy: 5’2” and 6’3”
Many were skeptical about how this pair would work. From the less serious height difference to the more concerning 17 years age gap, people assumed they were doomed. But actress turned designer Mary Kate Olsen and French banker Olivier Sarkozy proved everyone wrong.
They started dating in the spring of 2012 and have been strong ever since. They got married in a very private and intimate wedding ceremony on November 17, 2015.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner (5’7? and 5’10”)
The world went crazy when they heard about this iconic couple. The Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner and Jonas Brother Joe Jonas met through their mutual friend’s actress and singer Hailey Steinfeld in 2016.

Rhea Durham and Mark Wahlberg (5’9? and 5’8?)
Wahlberg has become something of a Hollywood legend. He started out as the lead singer in a band Marky Marj and the Funky Bunching and has since taken on acting and directing. He stands an inch shorter than his beautiful wife Rhea.

LeBron James and Savannah Brinson: 6’8” and 5’7”
Despite LeBron James’s high profile as one of the most legendary basketball players to exist, he has stuck by the side of his partner Savannah who he met in high school when she was the cheerleader for his team. NBA star LeBron James probably hadn’t even reached his full height of six-foot-eight when he first asked out Savannah Brinson.
The two tied the knot in a lavish party in 2013. They live the good life with two children and sprawling mansions. It is heart-warming to see how the two have stuck together from before fame.
Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa: 6’4” and 5’2”
These two have a love story and a half. In fact, Momoa had a crush on Bonet since his childhood! They officially met at a jazz club in New York City in 2005 and started dating in 2007. Momoa is known for his role as Khal Drogo in the HBO fantasy television series Game of Thrones. Lisa is 50 and Momoa 38… so while they may have both a large age and height difference, they prove those things don’t matter one bit.
While rumors were that they married in 2007, the couple who have a daughter Lola and son Nakoa-Wolf actually only tied the knot in 2017!
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith: 6’2” and 5’
Another iconic Hollywood duo is actor and rapper Will Smith and actress Jada Pinket Smith, they first laid eyes on each other on the set of The Fresh Prince when she auditioned for the role of her Will’s girlfriend.

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson: 5’3” and 6’3”
Another celeb pair that has a whole foot height difference is singer and designer Jessica Simson and her husband Eric Johnson who stands at an impressive 6’3.
We remember Jessica Simpson’s high-profiled marriage with boy band member Nick Lachey, but a few years after that ended she found love once again with ormer National football league (NFL) player Eric Johnson. These two don’t bad an eyelid at the height difference and seem to be happy together.
Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman: 4’10” and 5’0”
This love story was as quick as it was real. Hollywood legends Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman met in a playback then in 1971 and it only took them two weeks of knowing each other to move in together! After a year they were married and now they have three children.

It's true that Khloé Kardashian isn't exactly short at 5'10", however, when you see her NBA boyfriend, Cleveland Cavaliers player Tristan Thompson, is a 6'9", you soon notice there's almost a foot between them.

Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder: 5’4” and 5’8”

English singer-songwriter began dating builder and decorator Sam Cooper in 2009 before becoming engaged in 2010 while holidaying in Bali. The couple welcomed a baby daughter in 2011 right after they said "I do", and another girl in 2013.
Despite being the picture of marital bliss, all was not well it seems. Even though they claim their eventual divorce was friendly, the reasons for their split stemmed not from their 8-inch height difference of course, but due to Allen's drinking, parents' divorce and their "sexless marriage". Wow. Allen went on to reveal she was unfaithful to her former spouse during their marriage.
And as you would guess, this all provided the singer with enough material for a tell-all album, aptly titled No Shame, which she released earlier this year.
Freida Pinto and Dev Patel: 5’6” and 6’2”
These two actors met and fell in love on the set of the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire in 2008. Speaking about their connection in 2011, Pinto said: “I always say, I don’t think there will be anybody who understands it better than him ... Not even my family - because they were not with me every step of the way, but he, literally, was. And I was with him.”
After six years together, the couple announced their split on 10 December 2014. Maybe it was their 8-inch height gap, heels can only shorten the divide so much.
