Race, religion, political association, gender, age, and so on. None of these are even a contributing factor when it comes to matters of the heart. Love doesn’t care about any of those things and that’s pretty remarkable. So why should love care if you’re taller or shorter than your other half? That would be a rhetorical question, of course. Naturally we pulled together celebrity couples who have a huge height difference – and guess what? It doesn’t bother them in the slightest. Love is love, folks. That’s the bottom line.
Clare Grant and Seth Green
Sure there is only a four inch difference between Clare Grant and Seth Green, but it is a distinct one. Especially when Clare is donning some heels. Poor Seth doesn’t stand a chance, we’re sure he’s heard the short jokes a thousand times.
Clare Grant And Seth Green
Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth
Name me a more popular and loved female celebrity. No? Didn’t think so. Reese Witherspoon is more than just a Hollywood star, she is a legend in every sense of the word. Standing at 5’1″, she is clearly shorter than her 6’1″ husband, Jim Toth.

Eniko Parrish and Kevin Hart
We’re not joking around here, but Eniko Parrish and Kevin Hart have a mere three inch height difference. However as soon as Eniko throws on some heels, she towers over the comedian. It’s cute.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban
Hear us out please! We know that there is just a ~one~ inch gap between these two. We get it, it’s not HUGE. However whenever Nicole Kidman, which is always, slips on some high heels, Keith Urban is clearly the hobbit in that scenario.

Peter Dinklage and Erica Schmidt
Oh, come on. You had to have seen this one coming. Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage married the theatre director Erica Schmidt in 2005, together they have two children. And yes, 13 inches separates these two, but that’s all. They are wildly in love!

Christina Ricci and Owen Benjamin
There is no doubt that Christina Ricci and Owen Benjamin make a cute couple! The actress and comedian have a 17…I repeat, 17(!) inch height difference. Whoa.
Christina Ricci And Owen Benjamin
Helen Lasichanh and Pharrell Williams
Two inches is all that separates singer Pharrell Williams and longtime girlfriend Helen Lasichanh. However whenever they’re out in public, Helen always seems to be towering over her partner. It’s probably the heels.
Helen Lasichanh And Pharrell Williams
Sophie Dahl and Jamie Cullum
Writer and model Sophie Dahl is 6’0″ while her husband is 5’5″, but that doesn’t bother these two in the slightest. And why would it? No one said that women couldn’t be taller than men. Although I think we’ve proven that already.
Sophie Dahl And Jamie Cullum
Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy
13 inches comes in-between Mary-Kate Olsen (5’2″) and Olivier Sarkozy (6’3″)! The duo began dating in 2012 and exchanged vows in 2015.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise
From 2005 to 2012, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were the celebrity couple everyone couldn’t get enough of. Especially when their daughter, Suri, was born in 2006. Now, there is only a two inch difference between the stars but it truly looks like it’s more.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries
Talk about a flashback. After dating for a year, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries tied the knot. However after just 72 days of marriage, the pair divorced. At 5’3″, Kim K had an 18 inch height difference with the NBA player. Those 18 inches are one-quarter as many days as the two were married. Interesting.

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson
While Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are no longer together, at least we’ll always have the Twilight franchise to hold us over. Stewart and Pattinson had an eight inch height difference and still managed to look cute as buttons.

Salma Hayek and Edward Norton
Back in another lifetime it seems, actors Salma Hayek and Edward Norton were once an item. Hayek, 5’2″, seemed so tiny compared to Norton’s 6′ frame.

Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom
12 inches separated Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom. The duo were married from 2009 to 2016 – and remember that they only married a month after meeting! We even got a glimpse into their marriage on Khloé & Lamar.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher
Another celebrity couple that oozes #couplegoals is Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher. And I’ll fight anyone who disagrees. Kidding…kind of. At 5’4″, Kunis is indeed a shorty standing next to her 6’2″ husband. I think that almost makes them even cuter together.
Mila Kunis And Ashton Kutcher
Nicole Alexander and Shaquille O’Neal
Everyone knows that Shaquille O’Neal is tall. Like super tall. 7’1″ to be exact. But just how short is his girlfriend? Glad you asked. Nicole Alexander stands at just 5’2″ which means these two enjoy a 23 inch height difference. 23! WHOA is an understatement.

From one powerful couple to another. Kate Middleton and Prince William are GOALS, people. These two are perfect and it’s not just because they’re royalty. Okay, maybe it is. The Princess stands at 5’9″ while Prince William is 6’3″. Not the biggest difference especially at Kate often sports heels.

Call me crazy but Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. are a perfect couple. Just perfect. While filming the 1997 film I Know What You Did Last Summer, these two lovebirds met and the rest is history. Even if Gellar is wearing heels, she doesn’t come close to topping 6’1″ Freddie. How cute.
