There has got to be a spot for a royal couple on this list. And today, we’re giving that space to Kate Middleton and Prince William. The Princess of Wales is already gifted with height, standing at a stately 5’9”. But there’s something about the prince’s blue blood that’s seen him soar to a staggering 6’3”. Such towering figures are only fitting for royalty. People will not only look up to them as monarchs, but also because of their height.
Kidding aside, Kate Middleton studied art history at the University of St. Andrews. She first met the prince in 2003. Both were students at the time. Eight years later, they became husband and wife at the Westminster Abbey. At present, they are parents to three children who are already in line for inheriting the throne… and perhaps their parents’ height too?
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley & Jason Statham
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley rose to notoriety as one of the infamous Victoria’s Secret Angels. She is also the face of other famous brands, like Burberry and Marks & Spencer. From modelling, she’s spread her wings with roles in Transformer: Dark of the Moon and Mad Max: Fury Road. Behind the angelic appearance of the top model, lies a very feisty actress. Feisty and tall—the actress and model, at 5’9”, towers over her action star partner.
Since 2010, Rosie has been in a relationship with action megastar, Jason Statham. The Crank actor announced in 2016 that he would be marrying his statuesque sweetheart. Later on, they welcomed Jack Oscar Statham as the newest member of their family. With not a care in the world about their height difference, we wish this sweet little family all the best!
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard
In both love and comedy, these guys have vowed to always be there for each other. When it comes to the love side of things, their 5’1” vs. 6’2” height difference definitely makes them stand out. Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are partners in crime that have been making us smile ever since they kicked off their satirical music video remakes. Then, their Hollywood films and adorable social media videos always have us in stitches.
The pair started dating in 2007. Three years later, they announced their engagement. Together, they’ve appeared in Veronica Mars, When in Rome, Hit and Run, and CHiPs. They seem to be inseparable even on screen. After delaying their marriage, the two finally dove in after Shepard proposed for a second time on Twitter! Of course, Kristen Bell said yes... again.
Vanessa Hudgens & Austin Butler
If Ashley Tisdale is on this list, we’d better include Vanessa Hudgens! Just like Ashley Tisdale, Hudgens also partnered with a guy who’s more than 10 inches taller than her. The High School Musical star’s relationship with co-star, Zac Efron, seemed to be working out well at first.
Of course, everyone was hoping for the Troy-Gabriella love team to play out in real life, too. But it didn’t last. The actress and singer went on to find love with a fellow musician. Actor and singer Austin Butler captivated her immediately. They started dating in 2011, though the two have since split.
Tracy Pollan & Michael J. Fox
We all know Tracy Pollan from Family Ties. She rose to fame primarily because of her portrayal of Ellen Reed, in this iconic family sitcom. This talented girl is two inches taller tha her (equally talented) husband, actor Michael J. Fox. She met Fox on the set of Family Ties, where she played his girlfriend, but at the time, their romance remained strictly on-screen.
It seems, though, that fate had more in store for the couple. They met again through Bright Lights, Big City, years after the sitcom that shot them both to stardom. Then, the sparks were undeniable. The two-inch height difference melted from their minds, as a beautiful relationship began to flourish. In 1988, they decided to tie the knot, and now have four children, including a set of twins! Their eldest is Sam Michael, followed by the twins, Aquinnah Kathleen and Schuyler Frances Fox, and the youngest, Esme Annabelle Fox.
