Since we’re on a roll, why not go all the way through Cruise’s marriages?! After Tom Cruise’s divorce from Nicole Kidman, he began dating again. This time, he set his sights on Katie Holmes. When they attended red carpet events, Holmes’ high heel height advantage made Cruise appear to shrink by her side.
Seems like Cruise is harboring his own fetish for taller girls. In 2005, the couple announced that they were dating, on The Oprah Winfrey Show. On October of the same year, they said that they were having their first child. The year after their daughter, Suri, was born, the couple got married. Sadly, this too didn’t last. After more than five years of marriage, they broke it off.
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson
Here’s another couple with a perfect foot of distance between them. Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson are happy to take one for the team. After Jessica Simpson split with singer Nick Lachey, she had an on-and-off relationship with another singer, John Mayer. She had been through many other dating controversies until she met the irresistible NFL tight end, Eric Johnson.
Simpson and Johnson began dating in 2010. A few months later, they announced their engagement, and not long after, they welcomed a daughter in 2012, and a son in 2013. Then came 2014, when they decided to tie the knot. By early 2018, the announcement came that they are welcoming their third baby.
Stephanie Seymour & Azzedine Alaia
Another model in the list! Stephanie Seymour also served as the face of Victoria’s Secret and Playboy. She’s a supermodel through and through. She even authored a book for models, professional and aspiring ones alike. She wrote Stephanie Seymour’s Beauty Secrets for Dummies in 1998, and snagged a spot in the North American FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women list, for 2000.
Steeped in fashion as she is, it’s no wonder Seymour fell in love with a couturier and shoe designer, Azzedine Alaia. They’re just a perfect match! At first, the 7-inch height difference seems like it might get in the way. But love has a way of filling such small voids. This couple’s time together was sadly cut short, however, as Alaia passed away in 2017.
Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth
Reese Witherspoon is undoubtedly one of the most popular stars in Hollywood. She received a lot of praise when she took on the role of Elle Woods in "Legally Blonde." Her nominations and trophies show how great she is at her craft. But has anyone ever bothered to pay attention to Reese’s height? It didn’t occur to any of her fans until they saw her standing next to her ex husband.
The award-winning actress stands at 5’1”. Meanwhile, her former husband, Jim Toth, towers above her in the frame, standing way taller, at 6’1”. Toth is a talent agent who’s worked with some of Hollywood’s most popular celebrities. While we all notice Reese’s height, this talent-spotting guru didn’t care in the slightest.
Stacy Keibler and Jared Pobre
Stacy Keibler had to go through quite a rough road before she met her soulmate, Jared Pobre. Before Pobre, she went out with American actor and businessman, George Clooney. They stayed together for two years. However, Clooney soon went his own way, marrying international human rights lawyer, Amal Clooney.
When Keibler got over the heartbreak, she began dating another businessman and long-time friend, Jared Pobre. He is the founder and former CEO of Future Ads, now known as Propel Media, an online-advertising company. During their courtship, Keibler continued her pro-wrestling and acting career. Everything was going right for Keibler. And then there came a surprise. Jared Pobre prepared a beach wedding in Mexico for the lucky star. Her happiness, Keibler remarked, was indescribable.
