Love transcends several barriers, including race, age, and from what we are increasingly noticing, height, too. They say it's immeasurable: love. And our favorite stars are not immune to it either. We are not, however, talking about couples where the man is the taller one, but the flip cases where the woman stands tall.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend

Chrissy Teigen and her better half, John Legend, are now six years into their marriage, and in Hollywood, that is a pretty lengthy marriage. In an interview with Today, Legend explained that their mutual respect and admiration for one another, and their shared sense of humor helped their union last.

It seems like they get a lot of laughs out of their red carpet photos because Teigen is always the one standing tall. They are both 5' 9" but when Tiegan throws on a pair of heels, which is just about always, she is taller. After all, that is what's expected when you get hitched to a model.

Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine

Adam Levine left his womanizing days behind when he exchanged vows with Namibian-born Behati Prinsloo in 2014. They kept their nuptials a secret despite going for a destination wedding in Los Cabos, Mexico, attended by 275 A-listers.

The one aspect the lovebirds can't keep hidden is their height difference. They also have a "towering in heels" type of situation where Prinsloo always appears taller than Levine when she wears heels. Levine is 6' 0" while Prinsloo is 5' 11".

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman

Keith Urban did an incredibly good job wooing Nicole Kidman. So much so that she knew she wanted a happily-ever-after with him just one month into their courtship. They are now 13 years in, and undoubtedly, one of our favorite celeb couples.

When they agreed to "have and to hold" each other, we're sure that Urban must have made peace with the fact that he'll always be one inch shorter in the relationship. Kidman stands at 5'11", but with Kidman always wearing heels, she seems more than just one inch taller than Urban.

Kevin Hart and Eniko Parrish

By average standards, Kevin Hart isn't entirely a short man at 5'4" but it doesn't help that everyone around him is always towering above him. That includes the love of his life, Eniko Parrish, who is two inches taller.

Hart is a man who draws comedic inspiration from his personal experiences, and naturally, the height difference between them has been comedic gold at certain points. Parrish dwarfs him further whenever they step out and she's wearing heels.

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are the latest newlyweds we can't stop gushing over. Their marriage just clocked one year, and we still can't get enough of the beautiful photos from their second ceremony in France.

The pair have an inch height difference between them, with Jonas standing at 5'6" and Turner at 5'7". The power of heels is the reason why Jonas always appears shorter than his beau. Fortunately, it never steals the shine from the fact that they are an adorable couple.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham

Jason Statham has built his career out of portraying stereotypically masculine males. The characters he plays aways drive the fastest cars and get the girls. Well, that image isn't far off from his life when you think about it.

Statham didn't shy away from going after a taller woman when he married Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who isn't in an actual sense taller than him. Whenever she slips into a pair of heels, she instantly dwarfs him. When barefoot, she is an inch shorter than her 5'10" husband.

Helen Laichanh and Pharrell Williams

Helen Laichanh walked right out of the runways into Pharell Williams' heart. Williams has always said that one of the things that got him attracted to Laichanh was the fact that she stands out.

Williams' words ring true when you consider that Laichanh is two inches taller at 5'11". Williams is another man on this list who knew that he was signing up for a lifetime of photos looking shorter standing next to his heel-wearing wife.

Erin Darke and Daniel Radcliffe

As the star of the Harry Potter films, Radcliffe always commanded attention, but we never imagined that he isn't so tall in real life. At 5'5", Radcliffe is shorter than his girlfriend Erin Darke who stands at 5'7".

The pair set eyes on each other when filming the 2013 film Kill Your Darlings and sparks flew between them. Six years in and we are crossing our fingers to hear news about an upcoming engagement from the couple.

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden raised eyebrows when they got together. They got tongues wagging even more after getting hitched just 17 days after Madden popped the big question. Five years into their marriage and we now see that they got it right.

Well, one of the things everyone noticed when talking about their differences is the fact that Diaz is taller. She is 5'9" while Madden is 5'7". They are also an age-gap couple, as Diaz is seven years older than Madden.

Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan

Michael J. Fox has graced our screens since the '80s from his appearances in the series of Back to the Future movies. Fox then established himself as a big-screen magnet, and we recently saw him in See You Yesterday.

Fox has been married to Tracy Pollan for an equally long time, and they have now weathered through more than three decades together. Fox is two inches shorter than Pollan, who stands at 5'6" and even taller in heels.

Liv Tyler and David Gardner

Liv Tyler has delivered exceptional performances in box-office hits like Armageddon and The Lord of the Rings. The leading man in her life is David Gardner, an entertainment and sports manager.

Tyler is 5'10" making her taller than Gardner even without wearing heels, and this isn't the first time that the woman's the taller one in the relationship. Tyler was previously married to Royston Langdon, for five years, and he was two inches shorter than her!

Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy

In all honesty, screenwriter Chris Henchy is taller than his wife, actress Brooke Shields. Neither of them is short by any means with Henchy standing at 6'1" and Shields at 6'0". Shields always appears taller when she's wearing heels.

The couple has stuck it out since 2001, and they included two daughters to the equation. We last saw Shields in Jane the Virgin and Mr. Pickles, and hopefully, she has more upcoming credits in 2020.

Jamie Mazur and Alessandra Ambrosio

Jamie Mazur and Alessandra Ambrosio undoubtedly made a great looking couple. However, Mazur fell short in the height department, at just an inch shorter than Ambrosio who is 5'9". We can't say that it's the reason they decided to break things off in 2018, after being engaged for ten years.

Ambrosio explained that her busy schedule got in the way, and coupled with her jet setting lifestyle, they figured that things weren't working between them.

Padma Lakshmi and Salman Rushdie

You can't talk about Padma Lakshmi without mentioning Top Chef because she's practically the face of the cooking competition show. Lakshmi proved that there is life for her beyond the runways, and she's succeeded at TV hosting, writing, acting, and even launched a line of kitchenware.

Lakshmi's marriage to Salman Rushdie didn't prove as successful, and after three years, they called it quits and finalized their divorce. Lakshmi, who is 5'9", was taller than Rushdie by two inches.

Reza Jarrahy and Geena Davis

Geena Davis soars above most men because she stands tall at 6'0". Davis has admitted that she was never a fan of her height in her younger years, but when she started acting, it ended up being an asset.

In 2001, Davis exchanged vows with surgeon Reza Jarrahy. Davis was two inches taller than Jarrahy. Unfortunately, Davis and Jarrahy's union came to an end after 17 years, and that was Davis' fourth shot at marriage.

Mick Jagger and L'Wren Scott

Rocker Mick Jagger was at his happiest during the 13 years he spent with designer L'Wren Scott. The two got together in 2001, and they stayed together until Scott's untimely passing in 2014.

Scott towered Jagger at 6'3" and that made her three inches taller than him. It only made them stand out positively at red carpet events because the pair always looked dashing. Scott sadly ended her life by hanging herself after a long battle with depression.

Coco Rocha and James Conran

Coco Rocha is "The Queen of Posing," at least that's how Tyra Banks describes her. It's the reason why Rocha became famous after all, and she graced international magazines striking her fiercest of poses for makeup commercials.

Rocha's relationship with her husband, James Conran, is also business-related, as he is her part-time manager. They are always photographed together, and Rocha towers him at 5'10" combined with a couple more inches when she's wearing heels. Conran is 5'8".

Bella Hadid and The Weeknd

The Weeknd and Bella Hadid join the list of celebrity couples who shatter the skewed perceptions about gender conformism. The man doesn't always have to be taller as a sign of dominating a woman in stature.

The two might not have a significant height difference, with just an inch between them. Bella is 5'10" while The Weeknd is 5'9". The two have been on and off again, but as of 2020, they are still going strong.

Seth Green and Clare Grant

In 2007, Seth Green was busy signing autographs at a comic store's reopening, and that's where he met Clare Grant. She was contracted as a professional photographer for the event. They hit it off, and in 2009 they made it official.

Green is shorter by three inches at 5'4" while Grant towers him at 5'7". Green also has to deal with appearing completely dwarfed whenever they turn up to events, and she's wearing gorgeous gowns and killer heels.

Aziz Ansari and Courtney McBroom

Courtney McBroom and Aziz Ansari didn't last for too long, but during their time together, they made a lovely couple. They dated for almost two years, and they never shied away from sharing the spotlight during their moments out and about.

It was also apparent that McBroom was taller partly because of the heels she wore, but she is also 5'7". That made her an inch taller than her former flame. They've both moved on, and these days Ansari is dating Serena Campbell, a Danish physics student.

Mark Walhberg and Rhea Durham

Mark Walhberg is undeniably an A-lister, and it's thanks to his roles in award-winning films like The Departed and The Fighter. Wahlberg has had the best support system right at home through his wife, Rhea Durham.

Walhberg asked Durham to go with him to church, and that was their first date. It worked out for them, and in 2009 they tied the knot. Wahlberg is just an inch shorter than Durham who stands at 5'9".

Bodhi and Jenna Elfman

Jenna Elfman carved her niche as a comedic actress, and we've grown to love her in shows like Dharma and Greg. Jenna is married to Bodhi Elfman, who we've seen in shows like Touch and Criminal Minds.

They met in 1991 and tied the knot in 1995, and that means that he's spent almost three decades being reminded that she is taller than him. Jenna is 5'10", making her just an inch taller than her husband.

Tina Fey and Jeff Richmond

Tina Fey and Jeff Richmond have spent 19 years married, and their relationship goes back to 1993 when they met during an audition. The two complement each other both professionally with Fey cracking us up in shows like 30s Rock and Richmond working his magic behind the scenes as a composer.

They also complement each other height-wise, but Fey is the taller one in this case. Richmond is shorter at 5'3" while Fey is 5'5".

Archie Drury and Karolina Kurkova

Karolina Kurkova once commanded the runways, and she became the highest-paid Victoria Secret's angel. She might have hung up her wings, but Kurkova found success in other ventures like acting and brand endorsements.

Kurkova married Archie Drury in 2009, a few months before they welcomed their first child together. Drury is an inch taller than Kurkova at 6'1" but she always looks taller than him when she throws on some heels for their red carpet appearances.

Stacy Keibler and Jared Pobre

Stacy Kiebler tried her hand at modeling, dancing, acting, and wrestling, and she excelled at it all. But, she is mostly known for her wrestling days under the World Wrestling Entertainment.

Keibler started dating Jared Pobre, the Future Ads CEI, in 2013, and they tied the knot the very next year. At 5'11", Kiebler is three inches taller than Pobre. The couple shares three children, and just recently (May 2020), they welcomed their daughter Isabella Faith.

Claudia Schiffer and Matthew Vaughn

As a former supermodel, it's understandable that Claudia Schiffer likes wearing heels. It adds on to her already staggering 5'11" height, but it didn't stop Matthew Vaugh from pursuing her. When Vaughn proposed, he did it uniquely by commissioning an artist to create a painting for the occasion.

The painting had the important words popping the big question, and Schiffer similarly accepted the proposal with a "yes" painting. Vaughn is 6'0", but since their nuptials in 2002 he agreed to be together as the shorter one as long as she's wearing heels.

Peter Dinklage and Erica Schmidt

Peter Dinklage will forever remain Tyron Lannister in our eyes, and we are looking forward to his upcoming projects. Dinklage acquired the rights to bring to life a screen adaptation of The Thicket by Joe R. Lansdale.

Dinklage is married to Erica Schmidt, and they have maintained a veil of secrecy about their two children. We don't know their kids' names or even the gender of their second child. The one thing they can't hide is their height difference, as Dinklage is 4'4" while Schmidt is 5'6".

Penny Lancaster and Rod Stewart

Rod Stewart decided to give marriage a third try, and 13 years in, his union with Penny Lancaster is going strong. They have been together for even longer because they first got together in 1999.

They are another couple proving that love knows no height, with a three-inch height difference between them. Lancaster is 6'1" while her significant other stands at 5'10". The pair are always photographed together, and Lancaster always looks way taller when she wears heels.

Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni

Carla Bruni earned widespread attention from her days dominating the runways and the French music industry. Bruni became even more famous when she married France's former head of state, Nicolas Sarkozy, and served as the First Lady.

Bruni is markedly taller than Sarkozy, but the couple always wears their heights rather well in photos. Bruni is 5'9" while her husband stands at 5'5" and from what we hear, he can get sensitive about the height topic. Bruni wears flats frequently when they are in public.

Emmanuelle Seigner and Roman Polanski

French actress Emanuelle Seigner and acclaimed director Roman Polanski tied the knot in 1989. Seigner has a background in modeling, and like the best, she is tall at 5'7" while her husband is 5'3".

Seigner has appeared in several films that her husband directed, including The Ninth Gate and, most recently, in the 2019 film, An Officer and a Spy. The couple shares two children; their daughter, Morgane is an actress best known for appearing in Vikings.

Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito

Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman are one of the couples who have been married longest on this list. They've made it through more than four decades despite encountering forks in the road. The couple separated, but they soon figured that they couldn't live without each other.

The two are significantly shorter than average, but Rhea is still taller. She is 5'0" making her an inch taller than DeVito, who stands at 4'10". The couple shares a long history professionally, and they have five Emmys between them.

Ariana Cooper and Deryck Whibley

Deryck Whibley from Sum 41 and Ariana Cooper exchanged vows in 2015 shortly after going through a tumultuous year. Whibley fought through organ failure brought about by his history of alcohol abuse. He was hospitalized for a month, and through it all, Cooper never left his side.

Cooper is markedly taller than her punk-rocker husband. She is 6'0" while Cooper is four inches shorter at 5'6". The couple recently welcomed their first child together, Lyndon Igby Whibley, in March 2020.

Jamie Cullum and Sophie Dahl

Photos of Jamie Callum and Sophie Dahl make it quite apparent that she's significantly taller than him. They've been the topic of most celebrity news sites because of their height difference since they first got together in 2007.

Callum, who is reportedly 5'4", while his wife stands at 5'11", even released an album titled Taller in 2019. Dahl also had a great year in 2019, and she partnered with Walker Books for a four-book deal.

Gwendoline Christie and Giles Deacon

Gwendoline Christie is another former Game of Thrones star on this list who is involved in a height-gap relationship. Christie is 6'3" and she's dating Giles Deacon, who is three inches shorter.

Christie had a tough time with bullies in her younger years because of her height, but we bet those who bullied her now regret their actions. Beyond GOT, Christie has appeared in other notable productions like Star Wars: The Last Jedi and The Friend.

Tom Holland and Zendaya

It's any guess whether or not these two Spider-Man Homecoming co-stars are dating or not. Multiple sources report it, but neither of them has confirmed it yet. Regardless, they've been photographed cozying up to each other, and besides being adorable, we've also noticed the height difference.

Zendaya is 5'10" while Holland is two inches shorter at 5'8". If we go by the word of internet sleuths, these two have been secretly dating since sometime in 2016, and three years later, they are still spotted out and about.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise got out of a height-gap relationship with Nicole Kidman only to get into another one with Katie Holmes. We can never forget the couch-jumping incident on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2005 when Cruise declared his undying love for Holmes.

Sadly, they didn't last, and in 2012 they officially ended things. There's never been a concrete answer behind why their marriage ended because they kept their relationship relatively shielded from the public. What we know is that Cruise at 5'7" was two inches shorter than Holmes, who is 5'9".

Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman

Films like Batman & Robin, Les Misérables, and My Super Ex-Girlfriend established Uma Thurman as a leading lady. Off the screen, she married one of Hollywood's leading men, Ethan Hawke.

Thurman is 5'11" and that made her an inch taller than Hawke who is 5'10". They had two kids together before they parted ways in 2003. Thurman then dated French financier Arpad Busson between 2007 and 2014, and she was also markedly taller than him when she wore heels.

Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas

Joe Jonas had a history dating taller women before he finally settled down with Sophie Turner. He famously dated Taylor Swift in 2008 and ended things with her through a phone call. That subsequently inspired Swift to pen down the hit Forever & Always.

At 5'10", Swift was three inches taller than Jonas, and for the three months they dated, they made a good-looking couple. They both moved on, and these days Swift is dating yet another Joe, and we are talking about English actor Joe Alwyn.

Erica Mena and Shad Moss

Reality stars Erica Mena and Shad Moss, better known as Bow Wow, were almost heading to the altar after dating just for six months in 2014. Mena is 5'9" and that made her two inches taller than Moss, who is 5'7".

The two had a nasty breakup involving alleged abuse accusations with Mena explaining that it wasn't physical, but psychological abuse. Mena is married to Safaree Samuels, and they welcomed their daughter in February 2020.

 

Ask just about every woman about the characteristics of the ideal man, and for some reason, it always starts with "tall." We've seen love scale unimaginable heights, and that's what some of these celebrity couples have proven. Here are some famous people who are involved in "height-gap" relationships.

Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri

Back in the early '00s, Janet Jackson and Jermain Dupri were one of the hottest celebrity couples. The two are the same height at 5'4" but Dupri was always dwarfed when Jackson wore heels.

They ended things after dating for seven years, and now that they are both single (to the best of our knowledge), rumors have been rife that they might rekindle their romance. Jackson got divorced with Wissam Al Mana in 2017, and since then, fans have been wishfully hoping that she gets back with Dupri.
