The Icelandic strongman and Game of Thrones actor, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, (yes very hard to pronounce haha) and his Canadian wife, Kelcey Henson, have one of the most striking height differences among celebrity couples. Standing at 6 feet 9 inches, Hafþór is nearly a foot and a half taller than his wife, who is 5 feet 2 inches.
The two tied the knot last year and have already celebrated their first wedding anniversary. Their relationship has captured the hearts of many, as the contrast in their heights adds an extra layer of charm to their marriage.
It's hard not to find their dynamic endearing, especially considering how adorable it is when the man is so much taller than his partner. With Hafþór's imposing stature, one can only imagine how safe Kelcey must feel walking by his side in public.
Their marriage is not the only example of a couple with a significant height disparity. One extreme example is Serbian NBA player Boban Marjanović, who stands at a towering 7 feet 3 inches (2.21 meters). His wife, Milica, is much shorter at just 5 feet 3 inches (161 cm). Despite the noticeable difference, their love for each other speaks louder than their contrasting heights.
Another well-known couple with a big height gap is Game of Thrones stars Peter Dinklage and Erica Schmidt. At 4 feet 5 inches, Peter is 13 inches shorter than his wife, who stands at 5 feet 6 inches. In terms of percentage, this might be one of the largest height mismatches, with Erica being nearly 25% taller than Peter. Nevertheless, their love story is an inspiring example of how height doesn’t define a relationship.
Shaquille O'Neal, the former NBA legend who is 7 feet 2 inches tall, is another example of a giant pairing with someone much shorter. His girlfriend, Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander, is 5 feet 2 inches tall, making their height difference even more striking.
Despite being shorter than the average woman, Nicole and Shaquille’s love shows that height is just a number when it comes to relationships. This couple may turn heads but love is truly what matters most.
In the end, while height differences can be noticeable, what truly matters in any relationship is the love and bond between the partners. These couples prove that no matter how tall or short you are, love knows no boundaries.
