Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. first met on the set of I Know What You Did Last Summer, back in 1997. They became immensely popular 90s icons, both individually and as a much-loved couple. Prinze stands almost a full foot taller than Gellar, but that hasn’t been an obstacle for the famous pair.
In 2002, they got married and became parents to two children. People love this couple for having stayed strong, in the crazy world of Hollywood, for more than 15 years now. And even when they decided to lie low and leave the limelight behind, people still remember them. Who could ever forget the vampire slayer? Not to mention their iconic 90s rom-coms that went straight to every teenager’s heart. This is one couple that will always stay in the heart of their 90s-film-loving fans.
Hayden Christensen & Rachel Bilson
While we’ve given you a healthy dose of height-challenged couples who remained blissfully happy together, this list is, admittedly, full of couples who didn’t make it to the end of the line. But we’re cool with that. It’s better to leave than stay in a partnership that just ain’t working out. And this was exactly the case for our next couple. You surely know Hayden Christensen from his portrayal of Anakin Skywalker, in the Star Wars series. Rachel Bilson, meanwhile, shot to fame in The OC, then later shifted her attention to the big screen, starring in Jumper and The Last Kiss.
Christensen stacks up at six foot neat, while Bilson is just two inches over five feet. While it made photos a little awkward, this height difference didn’t matter a bit for the two; they lived together in love for quite a long time. Their relationship first blossomed in Jumper, where they were unable to resist each other’s charms. In 2009, Bilson appeared in public with an engagement ring. That was when it all came out. But, by 2010, it was called off without any explanations whatsoever. The on-again-off-again pair now have a daughter, Briar Rose, who was born in 2014. However, three years after her birth, they called it quits once again.
Fergie and Josh Duhamel
Who doesn’t know Fergie? She’s such an iconic singer we don’t even need a last name to differentiate her. We have seen her grow as a singer with the Black Eyed Peas, move into a bunch of creative collabs, and then finally branch out on her own as a solo artist. Behind this successful career, lies a happy life with her chosen family.
American actor, Josh Duhamel, is known for his appearances in Transformer films, Life As We Know It, Safe Haven, and most recently in Love Simon. Duhamel met Fergie on the set of his show, Las Vegas, in 2004. Fergie appeared with the Black Eyed Peas on the show, and the chemistry was immediate. The two eventually went out and, after years of dating, got married in 2009. They’ve since been gifted with a son, Axl Duhamel. And they have separated in 2018.
Megan Fox & Machine Gun Kelly
There may be a huge age and height difference between these two, but it seems, for the lovebirds, that doesn’t change a thing. MGK and Megan Fox began dating in June 2020. More than a year after their first public outing, Fox and Kelly appear to be going strong.
One of the biggest things that people notice about Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox as a couple is the fact that they have such a huge height difference between them. In fact, he stands at 6‘4" while she stands at 5’4”. He is literally an entire foot taller than her!
Carmelo Anthony and La La Anthony
As a basketball player, Carmelo Anthony towers over most people, at 6’8”. This doesn’t look unusual on the court, amongst his fellow basketball-playing giants. But when you put someone who’s only 5’6” beside Anthony, you immediately understand just how big the guy is.
This is everyday life for American TV personality, La La Anthony, because she just so happens to be Carmelo’s wife. When they’re together, the basketball superstar can’t look like anything other than a giant. This doesn’t seem to bother the pair, though. They’re both busy working on their high-profile careers. Despite the busy schedules, they make sure that their priorities are well-set with both, insisting that their son always comes first. ”We are the best of friends and our number one commitment is to our 10-year-old son, Kiyan,” La La said. How sweet!
