CELEBRITY COUPLES WITH EXTREME HEIGHT DIFFERENCES

By Simon Saunders - 8/21/23

Height Differences

Celebrity couples with extreme height differences have proven to be a fantastic
opportunity for paparazzi on and off the red carpet. Not only is it surprising
when we see such extreme height differences, but it’s also surprising that
certain celebrities are even dating in the first place! Join us as we run
through the very best in Hollywood and beyond.

MARY-KATE OLSEN (5’2″) & OLIVIER SARKOZY (6’3″) – 13 INCHES

For the last few years now, the Olsen twins have switched focus from their
acting careers to the world of fashion. At the same time that they made the
career change, Mary-Kate Olsen first met banker Olivier Sarkozy, who is the
brother of the former president of France.

Mary-Kate Olsen (5’2″) & Olivier Sarkozy (6’3″) – 13 inches

Since then, Mary-Kate and Olivier have tied the knot and are regularly seen
together in public. At 6’3″, Sarkozy stands over a foot taller than his much
shorter wife.

MILEY CYRUS (5’5″) & LIAM HEMSWORTH (6’3″) – 10 INCHES

Not only are Aussie brothers Chris and Liam Hemsworth both Hollywood superstars,
but they are both in high-profile relationships! Liam Hemsworth, who starred as
heartthrob Gale in The Hunger Games trilogy, is currently with Disney sensation
turned pop star Miley Cyrus.

Miley Cyrus (5’5″) & Liam Hemsworth (6’3″) – 10 inches

While she is 5’5″, Hemsworth towers over her at 6’3″! The on-again, off-again
couple, who met on the set of The Last Song, announced their engagement in 2012,
but later broke it off. After getting engaged a second time in 2016, all seemed
well, until rumors recently started swirling about another break-up.

CAMERON DIAZ (5’9″) & BENJI MADDEN (5’5″) – 4 INCHES

Not only is it surprising that Cameron Diaz is taller than Good Charlotte’s
Benji Madden, but it’s shocking that the two are together at all! Arguably one
of the oddest couples on this list, Diaz stands at 5’9″, which means she is a
staggering four inches taller than her rockstar husband.

Cameron Diaz (5’9″) & Benji Madden (5’5″) – 4 inches

The actress began dating Madden back in 2014 and it only took seven months
before the couple got married! Diaz has taken a step back from acting to focus
on her life with Benji.

SETH GREEN (5’4″) & CLARE GRANT (5’7″) – 3 INCHES

Look, Clare Grant isn’t particularly tall, by any means. However, her celebrity
partner Seth Green is very short. Coming in a 5’4″, the voice behind Chris
Griffin is often looking up to lock eyes with his wife.

Seth Green (5’4″) & Clare Grant (5’7″) – 3 inches

Despite the huge height difference, it is obvious that Green and Grant are
thoroughly in love. The couple met in 2006, and since then, Grant has had a
number of voice roles on Green’s critically acclaimed animated comedy Robot
Chicken.

HAFTHOR JULIUS BJORNSSON (6’8″) & KELSEY HENSON (5’2″) – 18 INCHES

When you are officially the world’s strongest man, there is a good chance that
you’re going to be quite tall. Hailing from Iceland, it is clear that Hafthor
Julius Bjornsson is a descendant of the fierce Vikings and is proud to represent
his country at an international level.

Hafthor Julius Bjornsson (6’8″) & Kelsey Henson (5’2″) – 18 inches

He undoubtedly towers over his wife Kelsey Henson, who he tied the knot with in
2018. Fans will be excited to see what happens to his character Gregor “The
Mountain” Clegane in the final season of Game Of Thrones.

CHRIS BOSH (6’11”) & ADRIENNE WILLIAMS (4’11”) – 24 INCHES

There are plenty of players in the NBA who are taller than Miami Heat’s Chris
Bosh. However, he still looks like a giant compared to his wife, Adrienne
Williams.

Chris Bosh (6’11”) & Adrienne Williams (4’11”) – 24 inches

With Bosh at 6ft 11 inches and Williams exactly two feet shorter than him, it is
a truly stunning thing to see whenever the couple are spotted on the red carpet
together. It will be interesting to see how tall the couple’s four kids ended up
being.

REESE WITHERSPOON (5’1″) & JIM TOTH (6’1″) – 12 INCHES

Legally Blonde legend Reese Witherspoon has a long history of dating celebrities
who are much taller than she is. Not only was her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe over
6’0″, but so was one of her more recent exes, Jake Gyllenhaal.

Reese Witherspoon (5’1″) & Jim Toth (6’1″) – 12 inches

Witherspoon’s love for all things tall hasn’t stopped, and her current husband,
Phil Toth, can certainly vouch for that. As tall as the former flames in her
life were, Toth is a towering 12 inches taller than the talented actress.

DANIEL RADCLIFFE (5’4″) & ERIN DARKE (5’6″) – 2 INCHES

While everyone was rooting for Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson to have an
off-screen romance after their work on the Harry Potter franchise, the former
ended up dating a lesser known name – Erin Darke, who happens to be two inches
taller than him.

Daniel Radcliffe (5’4″) & Erin Darke (5’6″) – 2 inches

They actually started dating after first working together on the set of the
movie Kill Your Darlings. Despite this, Darke did express her concerns over
Radcliffe’s severe weight loss for a role in the movie Jungle.

MILA KUNIS (5’4″) & ASHTON KUTCHER (6’2″) – 10 INCHES

Although many have put up posters on their walls of both stars, every one of
those fans has rooted for Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher ever since they starred
together on That ’70s Show and eventually became an item.

Mila Kunis (5’4″) & Ashton Kutcher (6’2″) – 10 inches

Since then, Kunis and Kutcher have had two kids (Wyatt and Dmitri) and tied the
knot in 2015. Kutcher’s previous wife, Demi Moore, was only a couple of inches
taller than Mila Kunis, but we all know how that went.

NICOLE KIDMAN (5’11”) & KEITH URBAN (5’10”) – 1 INCH

Nicole Kidman isn’t the tallest lady of all time, but she has a reputation for
dating some of the shorter guys in the industry – most notably, Tom Cruise.
However, that Hollywood romance has been history for years now.

Nicole Kidman (5’11”) & Keith Urban (5’10”) – 1 inch

Despite this, Kidman has jumped ship to another relatively short celebrity;
Aussie country singer Keith Urban. She’s not much taller than her husband, but
Kidman does tower over Urban when she goes to awards events with him and wears a
pair of heels.

PRINCE WILLIAM (6’3″) & KATE MIDDLETON (5’7″) – 8 INCHES

It certainly isn’t the biggest height difference on this list. However, there is
no denying that Kate Middleton is a bit taller than the average woman, coming in
at a respectable 5ft and 7 inches.

Prince William (6’3″) & Kate Middleton (5’7″) – 8 inches

Of course, Will and Kate will be thrilled to not be the center of attention ever
since Prince Harry tied the knot with Meagan Markle this year. It seems though
that as time goes on, things are only going to become more eventful for the
second in line to the throne.

CHANNING TATUM (6FT) & JENNA DEWAN (5’2″) – 10 INCHES

One of the most beloved couples to have evolved from an on-screen relationship
was Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, who starred together in the popular dance
movie Step Up.

Channing Tatum (6ft) & Jenna Dewan (5’2″) – 10 inches

As soon as the crew wrapped up filming, Tatum and Dewan began dating and
eventually tied the knot three years later. They even had a daughter. However,
like so many other Hollywood couples, Tatum and Dewan were simply not meant to
be and separated in 2018.

CHRISTINA RICCI (5’1″) & JAMES HEERDEGEN (6’+) – 11+ INCHES

Another actress who inevitably tends to end up with guys much taller than her is
Christina Ricci. At one point, the Addams Family star was engaged to the
colossal Owen Benjamin, who was 6’6″ in comparison to her much shorter 5’1″
stature.

Christina Ricci (5’1″) & James Heerdegen (6ft+) – 11+ inches

However, things didn’t work out between the two and since then, Ricci has moved
onto actor James Heerdegen. While it’s unclear whether Heerdegen is as tall as
Benjamin, he is definitely at least 6ft tall.

SOPHIE TURNER (5’7″) & JOE JONAS (5’6″) – 1 INCH

When you are in your early 20s and are a part of two of the biggest TV/film
franchises, you must be doing something right – and that’s just Sophie Turner’s
professional life!

Sophie Turner (5’7″) & Joe Jonas (5’6″) – 1 inch

The young actress, who is ready to own 2019 with her roles in Game of Thrones
and the upcoming X-Men movie Dark Phoenix, has been engaged to pop star Joe
Jonas since 2016. There might only be one inch between them in height, but when
Sophie’s wearing heels, she towers over her fiance.

JAY CUTLER (6’3″) & KRISTIN CAVALLARI (5’3″) – 12 INCHES

They might be famous for very different reasons, but Jay Cutler and Kristin
Cavallari are a powerful celebrity couple.

Jay Cutler (6’3″) & Kristin Cavallari (5’3″) – 12 inches

Cutler, whose football career was prematurely ended after a bad injury and lack
of playing time, is a staggering 12 inches taller than his wife. Cavallari, on
the other hand, is still doing her thing in the world of TV, and is currently
starring in her very own reality show Very Cavallari. The show documents the
couple’s life together.

IAN SOMERHALDER (5’8″) & NIKKI REED (5’4″) – 4 INCHES

This is one couple who you seriously don’t want to mess with, especially since
they both starred as vampires in separate shows/movies.

Ian Somerhalder (5’8″) & Nikki Reed (5’4″) – 4 inches

Ian Somerhalder starred as Damon Salvatore in the popular series The Vampire
Diaries, while Nikki Reed played vampiress Rosalie Hale in the Twilight saga.
Since 2014, the couple has been inseparable, tying the knot a year later and
having a daughter in 2017. Somerhalder is scheduled to star in the upcoming
Netflix series V-Wars.

CHRIS HEMSWORTH (6’3″) & ELSA PATAKY (5’3″) – 12 INCHES

When casting Chris Hemsworth as Thor, the God of Thunder, Marvel Cinematic
Studios needed to make sure that they had someone who was fairly tall for the
role. At 6’3″, the man from down under certainly fit the bill.

1Chris Hemsworth (6’3″) & Elsa Pataky (5’3″) – 12 inches

As for Hemsworth’s personal life, he doesn’t let the huge height difference
between him and his wife Elsa Pataky get in the middle of their relationship.
Spanish actress Pataky has also had her fair share of Hollywood success,
starring in the Fast and Furious franchise.

PETER DINKLAGE (4’4″) & ERICA SCHMIDT (5’5″) – 13 INCHES

Peter Dinklage has proven time and time again on HBO’s Game of Thrones that size
really doesn’t matter. Despite being the shortest person in the whole of
Westeros, he is also one of the most feared.

Peter Dinklage (4’4″) & Erica Schmidt (5’5″) – 13 inches

Although his fame has skyrocketed in the last few years, Dinklage has aimed to
keep his personal life as private as possible. He has been married to Erica
Schmidt for over a decade now and the couple has since had two kids.

JESSICA SIMPSON (5’3″) & ERIC JOHNSON (6’3″) – 12 INCHES

When pop star Jessica Simpson was previously married to actor Nick Lachey, there
were only 4 inches separating the married couple. However, Simpson has since
moved on from Lachey and tied the knot with football player Eric Johnson back in
2014.

Jessica Simpson (5’3″) & Eric Johnson (6’3″) – 12 inches

In terms of height, Johnson was certainly an upgrade for the singer, with a much
greater 12-inch height difference between the two. Let’s face it; when you are
married to an NFL player, you should go big or go home.

LEBRON JAMES (6’6″) & SAVANNAH BRINSON (5’7″) – 11 INCHES

When you date a basketball player, the height difference can look even bigger
than it actually is. However, this doesn’t apply to Savannah Brinson. At 5 ft
and 7 inches tall, she is definitely not short by any means.

Lebron James (6’6″) & Savannah Brinson (5’7″) – 11 inches

The couple has been together since their time in high school together, and in
2013, James and Brinson officially tied the knot. Seeing that James is one of
the highest paid NBA players right now, Brinson is probably not going to go
splitsville anytime soon.

SHAKIRA (5’2″) & GERARD PIQUE (6’4″) – 14 INCHES

It has been nearly a decade since Shakira and Gerard Pique started dating.
However, this takes nothing away from the ever-shocking height difference
between this power-couple. The Spanish soccer player is a staggering 14 inches
taller than his pop star wife.

Shakira (5’2″) & Gerard Pique (6’4″) – 14 inches

The couple fell in love after Shakira sang the anthem at the 2010 FIFA World
Cup, the tournament that Pique won with the Spanish national team. Since then,
the couple has had two kids – Milan and Sasha.

WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO (6’6″) & HAYDEN PANETTIERE (5FT) – 18 INCHES

You know what they say: size does not matter. However, there is something
visually fascinating about seeing a celebrity that is much taller (or shorter)
than their significant other. In the world of boxing, height isn’t so important.
However, 6’6″ Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko would beg to differ.

Wladimir Klitschko (6’6″) & Hayden Panettiere (5ft) – 18 inches

He’s a staggering 18 inches taller than his 5ft tall fiance, actress Hayden
Panettiere. The couple’s height difference is triple the 6-inch average
difference between men and women!

MEGAN FOX (5’4″) & BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN (6FT) – 8 INCHES

With an eight-inch height difference, Brian Austin Green is officially a head
taller than his superstar wife Megan Fox.

Megan Fox (5’4″) & Brian Austin Green (6ft) – 8 inches

Despite blowing up with roles in movies such as Transformers and Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles, Fox and Green have stayed true to each other ever since first
working together on the show Hope & Faith. Not only do Fox and Green have a
considerable height difference, but there is also 12 years in age separating the
two.

SHAQUILLE O’NEAL (7’1″) & LATICIA ROLLE (5’6″) – 19 INCHES

It is truly hard to keep up with Shaquille ONeals’ love life. The last serious
relationship that the NBA legend seemed to be in was with Alicia Rolle. The
couple had been dating for many years and were even engaged at one point.

Shaquille O’Neal (7’1″) & Laticia Rolle (5’6″) – 19 inches

However, the couple decided to go their separate ways and since then, Shaq has
been seen with numerous other women. These include actress Annie Ilonzeh, and
most recently, a woman by the name of Dani Nicole, a model from Houston, Texas.

KRISTEN STEWART (5’5″) & ROBERT PATTINSON (6’1″) – 8 INCHES

There was a time when Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were the couple that
absolutely everyone was rooting for. Having originally starred alongside each
other in the hit vampire movie series Twilight, it didn’t take long for the two
to begin a real-life romance.

Kristen Stewart (5’5″) & Robert Pattinson (6’1″) – 8 inches

However, everything came crumbling down when, in 2012, Stewart was caught on
camera being intimate with Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.
After breaking up and reconciling, Stewart and Pattinson officially parted ways
in May 2013.

SALMA HAYEK (5’2″) & EDWARD NORTON (6’0″) – 10 INCHES

While Salma Hayek is currently married to French businessman Francois-Henri
Pinault, there was a time when she was romantically linked to a fellow Hollywood
star. Between 1999 and 2003, Hayek was dating Fight Club and American History X
star Edward Norton.

Salma Hayek (5’2″) & Edward Norton (6’0″) – 10 inches

With a 10-inch difference between the two, Norton sure did tower over Hayek
while they were together. Funnily enough, it was their chiropractor that set
them up, to begin with! However, it simply wasn’t meant to last.

ROD STEWART (5’10”) & PENNY LANCASTER (6’1″) – 3 INCHES

Not only has Rod Stewart established himself as one of the biggest stars in pop
music, but he has also had an extremely eventful personal life. With multiple
relationships to his name, as well as two failed marriages, it seemed like he
would never get it right in the love department.

Rod Stewart (5’10”) & Penny Lancaster (6’1″”) – 3 inches

However, it seemed like the third time was a charm when Stewart got married to
Penny Lancaster. They began dating in 1999 and tied the knot in 2007 in
Portofino, Italy.

TINA FEY (5’5″) & JEFF RICHMOND (5’5″) – 0 INCHES

There is no denying that Tina Fey has been one of the most important female
figures in the world of comedy over the last few decades. The genius behind Mean
Girls, amongst other comedies, has been head over heels for
pianist-turned-musical director Jeff Richmond since 1994.

Tina Fey (5’5″) & Jeff Richmond (5’5″) – 0 inches

Richmond ended up composing the score of Fey’s show 30 Rock and in 2001, the
couple tied the knot. They have had two daughters together and in 2009, they
bought a US$3.4 million NYC apartment.

JENNA ELFMAN (5’10”) & BODHI ELFMAN (5’9″) – 1 INCH

These days, Jenna Elfman is enjoying herself on The Walking Dead spinoff, Fear
the Walking Dead. Through thick and thin though, the talented actress has
managed to maintain a happy and healthy marriage with fellow actor Bodhi Elfman.

Jenna Elfman (5’10”) & Bodhi Elfman (5’9″) – 1 inch

The couple met during an audition for a Sprite commercial and tied the knot four
years later. Together, they are devout Scientologists ever since Bodhi
introduced Jenna to the religion. They have also had two kids together.

ARI COOPER (6’0″) & DERYCK WHIBLEY (5’6″) – 6 INCHES

If you grew up during the 2000s, you will be familiar with rock songs such as
“Fat Lip” and “In Too Deep.” These were some of Sum 41s classic songs and
frontman Deryck Whibley had a huge part to play in the band’s success over the
years.

Ari Cooper (6’0″) & Deryck Whibley (5’6″) – 6 inches

Interestingly enough, Whibley has had a number of high profile relationships
with the likes of Paris Hilton and Avril Lavigne. However, the musician has
finally settled with one woman, having married model Ari Cooper in 2015.

RHEA DURHAM (5’9″) & MARK WAHLBERG (5’8″) – 1 INCH

At 5’8″, Marky Mark isn’t exactly the tallest guy in the world. Even still, he
managed to fall in love with a woman who is still taller than him, despite not
being that tall either.

Rhea Durham (5’9″) & Mark Wahlberg (5’8″) – 1 inch

Mark Wahlberg has been married to Rhea Durham since 2009 and together, they have
had four children – two girls and two boys. The man from Boston rarely gets a
chance to breathe due to his busy workload. Nevertheless, he still manages to
maintain a happy and healthy marriage.

RHEA PERLMAN (5’0″) & DANNY DEVITO (4’10”) – 2 INCHES

Widely regarded as one of the shortest couples in entertainment history, Danny
Devito and Rhea Perlman certainly made up for it with tons of heart and passion.
The couple first met back in the 70s, when Perlman went to watch a friend
perform in the play The Shrinking Bride.

Rhea Perlman (5’0″) & Danny Devito (4’10”) – 2 inches

DeVito was also performing that evening and just two weeks later, they moved in
together! Since then, the couple has had an on-and-off relationship and despite
no longer living together, they are not planning on getting divorced.

KATIE HOLMES (5’9″) & TOM CRUISE (5’7″) – 2 INCHES

Even though two inches don’t seem like a big deal, looking at their photos it
looks much more. The couple started dating in 2005, and got engaged after only
seven weeks!

Katie Holmes (5’9″) & Tom Cruise (5’7″) – 2 inches

Needless to say, Mr Cruise popped the question at the top of the Eiffel Tower
with a whopping tear-drop ring. Unfortunately, the marriage only lasted for a
little over five years and the not-so-happy couple now share a daughter names
Suri (13).

WILL SMITH (6’3″) & JADA PINKETT SMITH (5’1″) – 14 INCHES

One thing is for sure: the huge 14-inch height difference between Will Smith and
Jada Pinkett Smith hasn’t had too much of an impact on the couple’s 20+ year
marriage.

Will Smith (6’3″) & Jada Pinkett Smith (5’1″) – 14 inches

Their kids Jayden and Willow have already exceeded their mother’s height and are
hot on the tail of their Fresh Prince father. In a climate where Hollywood
couples rarely stand the test of time, it’s amazing how much the Smiths have
achieved together and continue to achieve.

KHLOE KARDASHIAN (5’8″) & TRISTAN THOMPSON (6’8″) – 12 INCHES

It seems like Kim Kardashian’s sister Khloe followed in her footsteps when she
also married a basketball player – Lamar Odom. However, the marriage descended
into a heavily publicized divorce. Despite this, Khloe decided to keep her love
life in the world of basketball and started dating fellow NBA player Tristan
Thompson.

Khloe Kardashian (5’8″) & Tristan Thompson (6’8″) – 12 inches

Amazingly, just two days before Khloe gave birth to their daughter, rumors
circulated online that Tristan had been unfaithful to her. Nevertheless, the
couple is still together.

FERGIE (5’3″) & JOSH DUHAMEL (6’2″) – 11 INCHES

It seems like Fergie’s rise to fame with the Black Eyed Peas directly correlated
with her blossoming romance with actor Josh Duhamel. The singer met Duhamel when
the rap group made a guest appearance at his show in Las Vegas.

Fergie (5’3″) & Josh Duhamel (6’2″) – 11 inches

Since then, the couple got married in 2009 and also had a son – Axl Jack.
However, not every relationship is meant to last, and for Fergie and Duhamel,
their time together finally came to an end in 2017.

FREDDIE PRINZE JR. (6’1″) & SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR (5’3″) – 10 INCHES

Originally two of the most popular faces of the ’90s, Freddie Prinz Jr. and
Buffy The Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar are now living proof that
Hollywood couples can maintain a fairly normal life.

Freddie Prinze Jr. (6’1″) & Sarah Michelle Gellar (5’3″) – 10 inches

This is mainly due to the fact that both figures have, in recent times,
withdrawn from the public eye in order to focus on family life. Although Prinze
Jr. has had some minor success in animation recently, the couple is, on the
whole, keeping things pretty lowkey.

JAMIE CULLUM (5’4″) & SOPHIE DAHL (6FT) – 8 INCHES

It might not sound like much of height difference, but make no mistake about it,
Sophie Dahl towers over her celebrity lover Jamie Cullum.

Jamie Cullum (5’4″) & Sophie Dahl (6ft) – 8 inches

Especially when she is in heels, these two have one of the biggest height
differences in the celebrity world, at least when it comes to the woman being
taller than the man. Jamie Cullum doesn’t seem to care though. The jazz musician
is very much in love with Dahl and the couple has even had two kids together.

VANESSA HUDGENS (5’1″) & AUSTIN BUTLER (6’0″) – 11 INCHES

Another celebrity who seems to have had a relationship upgrade in the height
department is Vanessa Hudgens. Of course, the young actress used to date her
High School Musical co-star Zac Efron, who was a respectable six inches taller
than her anyway.

Vanessa Hudgens (5’1″) & Austin Butler (6’0″) – 11 inches

However, her current boyfriend, Austin Butler, is nearly double that height
difference, standing at an impressive 6ft! Hudgens has been dating the Switched
at Birth actor since 2011. Butler recently starred in the 2018 comedy Dude.

KEVIN HART (5’4″) & ENIKO PARRISH (5’6″) – 2 INCHES

As one of the shortest actors in Hollywood today, at 5’3″, Kevin Hart was always
going to struggle to find a woman shorter than him. However, he isn’t phased by
the fact that Eniki Parrish is 2 inches taller.

Kevin Hart (5’4″) & Eniko Parrish (5’6″) – 2 inches

In fact, Hart told Oprah that he simply doesn’t “believe in doing things to
manufacture my body to appeal to what I think people might like.” Despite some
rocky moments between the two, Hart and Parrish are still going strong.

KRISTEN BELL (5’1″) & DAX SHEPARD (6’2″) – 13 INCHES

There is no doubt that Kristen Bell is one of the shortest actresses on this
list. This would make you think that her husband, Dax Shepard, had an advantage
in the height department from day one. At 6’2″, the fellow actor is an
impressive 13 inches taller than Bell.

Kristen Bell (5’1″) & Dax Shepard (6’2″) – 13 inches

The Hollywood husband and wife haven’t just demonstrated their huge height
difference on a number of red carpets, they have also starred together in films
together such as Hit and Run and CHiPS.

SACHA BARON COHEN (6’3″) & ISLA FISHER (5’2″) – 13 INCHES

Although Sacha Baron Cohen is renowned for making people laugh with his many
outlandish alter-egos such as Borat and Ali G, the comedian/actor takes his
relationship with Isla Fisher very seriously.

Sacha Baron Cohen (6’3″) & Isla Fisher (5’2″) – 13 inches

The couple may have first met back in 2002. However, Fisher was determined to
convert to Baron Cohen’s Jewish faith before finally tying the knot in 2010.
Over a foot separates this adorable couple but there is no doubt that these two
both look up to each other.

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN (5’0″) AND YOUNES BENDJIMA (6′ 2″) – 14 INCHES

She may be the eldest sister in the Kardashian-Jenner clan, but Kourtney
Kardashian is undoubtedly the shortest out of the bunch. While it has recently
been reported that the 39-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star split
from her boyfriend of two years, 24-year-old Younes Bendjima, the former couple
did have a significant height difference.

Kourtney Kardashian (5’0″) and Younes Bendjima (6′ 2″) – 14 inches

While her boyfriend was not just considerably younger than the mother-of-three,
he was also much taller, standing at 6’2″ alongside the petite reality star who
is only 5’0″.

LA LA ANTHONY (5’6″) AND CARMELO ANTHONY (6’8″) – 14 INCHES

American personality, actress, and New York Times best-selling author La La
Anthony became engaged to her basketball player beau, Carmelo Anthony, on
Christmas Day in 2004. Meanwhile, the couple only made it official in 2010 when
they were married by Michael Eric Dyson in front of 320 guests.

La La Anthony (5’6″) and Carmelo Anthony (6’8″) – 14 inches

The whole event was filmed for VH1’s reality series, La La’s Full Court Wedding
and their life together has been documented on the series La La’s Full Court
Life. However, Anthony filed for separation from her husband in 2017 and they
are yet to divorce.

NATALIE PORTMAN (5’3″) AND BENJAMIN MILLEPIED (5’10”) – 7 INCHES

Black Swan star, Natalie Portman, has been married to her choreographer husband
Benjamin Millepied since 2012. The couple met while filming the Black Swan in
2009 and announced their engagement in 2010.

Natalie Portman (5’3″) and Benjamin Millepied (5’10”) – 7 inches

The couple moved from Los Angeles to Paris when the Paris Opera Ballet announced
that Millipied had accepted the position of director of dance in 2014, but they
have since moved back. While Portman is recognized globally as an award-winning
actress, she is also a Harvard graduate and once stated, “I’d rather be smart
than a movie star.”

ASHLEY TISDALE (5’3″) AND CHRISTOPHER FRENCH (6’4″) – 13 INCHES

High School Musical star, Ashley Tisdale, married her boyfriend of two years,
Christopher French, in 2014. While Ashley is best known for her role in the
Disney original hit, she was named the creative director of Signorelli in 2015.

Ashley Tisdale (5’3″) and Christopher French (6’4″) – 13 inches

She also launched her Illuminate makeup brand in 2016, and in 2017, she
confirmed she was working on her third studio album. No doubt her and her singer

THE GREATEST FEMALE SINGERS OF ALL TIME, RANKED

By Susie Green –

The Greatest Female Singers of All Time

Music has given us many memorable voices including the number of incredibly
talented women who have stepped up to the mic to bring us some remarkable songs.
Their voices echo throughout arenas and our hearts, staying in our heads for
hours, days, years, and sometimes even generations. Out of the thousands of
female singers who have recorded songs, these are the top 40 talented women who
stand out from the rest.

DORIS DAY

Beginning her career in 1939 as a big band singer, Doris Day found mainstream
success in 1945. Her two big singles “Sentimental Journey” and “My Dreams Are
Getting Better All the Time” were recorded with Les Brown & His Band of Renown,
and spoke to many Americans.

Doris Day

The blonde-haired beauty then left Brown to embark on a solo career, recording
more than 650 songs from 1947 to 1967. It was also during this time that Day
ended up becoming one of the biggest names in film and was even a top box office
earner four times.

JOAN BAEZ

Born in 1941, Joan Chandos Baez grew up to become a singer-songwriter, musician,
and activist. She was incredibly popular during the ’60s counterculture era.
Although much of her music was associated with folk, it also encompassed rock,
pop, country, and gospel.

Joan Baez

She also recorded the songs of many of the most popular bands of the day, and
was even the first to record Bob Dylan. Internationally celebrated, Baez got her
introduction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2017.

DEBBIE HARRY

Born in Miami, Florida, Debbie Harry worked many jobs as a secretary and dancer
before finding mainstream success for decades. In 1974, Harry formed the band
Blondie and two years later they released their first album. Blondie released
many albums throughout the decades.

Debbie Harry

Most recently, the band’s 2017 album, Pollinator, actually topped number four in
the United Kingdom, showing just how big of an impact Harry and Blondie have
had.

CYNDI LAUPER

With a career spanning over 40 years, it’s safe to say that many have loved the
music of Cyndi Lauper. Her first album, She’s So Unusual, was released in 1983
and became the first debut album by a female artist to hit the top five most
popular songs on the Billboard Hot 100.

Cyndi Lauper

Two years later, Lauper got a Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Since then, not
only has she won many awards but she’s also sold over 50 million records around
the world.

SARAH VAUGHAN

Sarah Vaughan has gone by many names throughout her career including “The Divine
One” and “Sassy.” She got into music from a young age due to the fact that she
was raised by two parents who were both very musically inclined.

Sarah Vaughan

Her father was a guitar player while her mother preferred singing in the choir.
That talent was clearly inherited by their daughter, Sarah, who went on to
record over 50 albums and won four Grammy Awards. By the end of her career, she
was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

SIA FURLER

Born in Australia, Sia Furler soon became better known as just Sia. While she’s
an undoubtedly talented singer, she’s also a very gifted director, actor, and
songwriter. After forming a band called Crisp with a few of her friends, Sia
moved from Australia to London before heading to New York in order to try and
make it on her own.

Sia Furler

She struggled for years before making it big with two major albums. She has
since written many popular songs including “Titanium” for David Guetta,
“Diamonds” for Rihanna, and “Wild Ones” for Flo Rida.

NORAH JONES

Growing up, Norah Jones had been introduced to many different types of music,
which no doubt helped to give her the unique sound that she has today. When she
was a child, Jones learned to play many different types of instruments including
guitar, piano, and saxophone.

Norah Jones

In 2002, the brown-eyed bombshell released her debut album, Come Away With Me,
which sold over 27 million albums and even won five Grammy Awards. Still, we
can’t say that we’re surprised considering that we could sit and listen to that
album over and over again — it’s just that good.

CAROLE KING

Carole King is known for many things including her incredibly powerful voice and
her talent for writing songs that captivate audiences. We’re not just saying
that either — of the innumerable songs that King has written, 118 of them have
made it to the Billboard Hot 100.

Carole King

These songs have arguably become some of the most recognizable for many people
across many generations. Her album, Tapestry, held the record for the first
place on a U.S. chart, staying there for 20 years.

SARAH MCLACHLAN

Originally from Canada, Sarah McLachlan discovered her love for music as a child
and began enrolling in classes for guitar, classical piano, and singing. Her
vocal range is undoubtedly one of the most impressive things about her, with an
incredible ability to start at mezzo and go all the way up to soprano.

Sarah McLachlan

She also fights on behalf of other female artists, hosting the Lilith Fair music
festival, which earned tens of millions of dollars all donated to women’s
charities.

GLADYS KNIGHT

Even people who haven’t listened to Gladys Knight have no doubt heard of her
name. She was, after all, known as the “Empress of Soul” during her time
performing on stage. Her band, Gladys Knight & the Pipe, was actually started
with a few close friends and family members, but ended up being responsible for
many of the hits that went on to earn Grammy Awards.

Gladys Knight

She has also gone into business, opening a chain of restaurants called Gladys
Knight & Ron Winans’ Chicken & Waffles.

CHER

It’s tough to say which title is the most impressive when it comes to women in
music, but if Cher isn’t the clear winner, then she’s definitely in the running.
Her title as the “Goddess of Pop,” is definitely earned after she made a major
splash in an industry that is still considered to be very male-dominated.

Cher

Not only is she a talented singer, but her ability as an entertainer has even
won her an Academy Award for Best Actress.

PATTI SMITH

While she might not be the biggest household name on this list, Patti Smith
certainly put her stamp on the world of music, especially in the ’70s. It was
during this time that she became an important figure in the New York City punk
movement with her debut record Horses.

Patti Smith

Known by many as the “punk poet laureate,” Smith was inducted into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame in 2007 and is still performing until this very day.

CHAKA KHAN

There is no denying that Chaka Khan is one of the most synonymous figures with
disco and funk. With a career spanning five decades, Yvette Marie Stevens burst
onto the scene as the lead singer of the successful funk band Rufus.

Chaka Khan

However, her solo career was just as successful, becoming the first R&B singer
to have a crossover hit with a rapper, with 1984’s “I Feel for You.” Khan has
had a staggering amount of critical and commercial success, selling over 70
million records globally and winning ten Grammy Awards to her name.

DUSTY SPRINGFIELD

One British pop star who made an easy transition to American airwaves was the
one and only Dusty Springfield. A prominent figure on the blue-eyed soul scene,
Springfield had hits such as “Son of Preacher Man” and “I Just Don’t Know What
to Do with Myself.”

Dusty Springfield

She was also famous for performing in evening gowns and ushering in the Swinging
Sixties. After battling cancer on and off for five years, Springfield passed
away in 1999. Her music still lives on and has been used in films such as
Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.

ARIANA GRANDE

Ariana Grande didn’t actually start out as a pop star. Her early years were
spent on Broadway before she landed a role on the Nickelodeon show, Victorious.

Ariana Grande

After six years on Broadway, the young star decided to put out an album in 2014,
which mixed the sounds of EDM and R&B. This album made her one of the most
recognizable voices with songs like “Problem,” “Love Me Harder,” “Thank U,
Next,” and “Bang Bang” hitting the top of the charts.

DIANA ROSS

Diana Ross isn’t just an amazing voice for audiences to listen to. In fact, some
of the biggest names in the industry cite her as their main source of
inspiration including Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, and Madonna. Ross’ first songs
were released with her vocal group The Supremes and included songs like “Love
Child,” “You Keep Me Hangin’ On,” “Where Did Our Love Go.”

Diana Ross

As a solo artist, many of her songs became major hits such as “Upside Down” and
“I’m Coming Out.”

GLORIA ESTEFAN

Everything could have gone so terribly wrong for Gloria Estefan early on in her
career. The Cuban-American singer fractured her spine after a truck collided
into her tour bus in 1990. Amazingly though, Estefan returned to her tour 10
months later after a rapid recovery.

Gloria Estefan

The woman responsible for hits such as “Conga” and “Anything for You” became the
first performer to have an album that was certified as Diamond in Spain with
1993’s Mi Tierra. She is believed to have sold over 120 million records
worldwide.

KELLY CLARKSON

Kelly Clarkson is both an incredibly successful singer and the first-ever winner
of the reality competitive singing show, American Idol. Being the first winner
of the show allowed her the opportunity to record her first album, which became
a major success.

Kelly Clarkson

In fact, a single from that album, “A Moment Like This” even became the best
selling single in the U.S. back in 2002. She didn’t stop there, though. Her two
songs, “Because of You” and “Since You’ve Been Gone” have each earned her a
Grammy.

TONI BRAXTON

While she may have been overshadowed slightly by contemporaries such as Janet
Jackson and Mariah Carey, there is no denying Toni Braxton’s influence on R&B
music. Famous for hits such as “Un-Break My Heart” and “You’re Makin’ Me
High/Let it Flow,” Braxton has sold over 67 million records worldwide and has
seven Grammy Awards to her name.

Toni Braxton

Braxton also has success on TV, having starred in reality series Braxton Family
Values and also competing in the seventh season of Dancing With the Stars.

have worked together to produce 16 different albums and sell more than 35
million copies of those incredible albums.

Ann Wilson

These albums have established Wilson as an incredible rock and metal singer so
much so that she was even inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In her
own words, “Artists make art. Singers sing. Players play. Gypsies travel. Music
lights fires everywhere. It’s like oxygen!”

FREDA PAYNE

It’s amazing to think that Freda Payne was never signed to Motown. The talented
singer is most famous for hit singles such as “Band of Gold” and “The Unhooked
Generation.” It seems like singing ran in the family as Payne’s younger sister
Scherrie was a member of The Supremes, along with Diana Ross.

Freda Payne

Freda Payne has also had some experience as an actress, appearing in movies such
as Nutty Professor II: The Klumps and Ella: First Lady of Song. She still

Blake Shelton.

never stopped Janet from reaching for the stars.

Janet Jackson

for her, as she saved some of her favorite lyrics for herself and became the
worldwide sensation that she is today.

Dolly Parton

Her career reached its apex during the 1970s and ’80s, and even though it
reached a bit of a low point in the ’90s, it seems as though Parton is making a
comeback.

JUDY GARLAND

Even though Judy Garland was a talented singer, most people don’t remember her
as such. When asked, many people would likely respond that they recognize the
name from one of the biggest films in history, The Wizard of Oz.

Judy Garland

That being said, Garland was actually a very gifted singer with an incredible
range. She had a very versatile approach to music, being able to easily pull off
singing and performing jazz, soul, and blues. All this, we might add, she
learned entirely on her own.

“Janis put herself out there completely, and her voice was not only strong and
soulful; it was painfully and beautifully real.”

NINA SIMONE

Nina Simone didn’t get into the music industry because she dreamed of being in
the spotlight and making millions. For her, it was a necessity since her family
needed the money.

Nina Simone

She began by playing piano in nightclubs before eventually getting spotted and
offered a contract deal, which helped her to become a household name. During her
career, she recorded over 30 studio and live albums. She had a talent for being
able to “belt barroom blues, croon cabaret, and explore jazz.”

LADY GAGA

Ever wondered what Lady Gaga’s real name is? It’s Stefani Joanne Angelina
Germanotta so, we can understand why she might have shortened it to a much more
pronounceable stage name.

Lady Gaga

She has certainly made a name for herself as an incredible singer. Beyond that,
though, her choice of costumes and wardrobe — as well as her alluring
performances on stage — have made her a topic of many conversations. She got her
start working at clubs throughout New York before taking to the world stage and
becoming the icon that she is today.

ETTA JAMES

Etta James is more than just a talented musician and singer — for many, she is
what incredible soul, jazz, and blues music is supposed to sound like.

Rather Go Blind,” and “At Last,” have become unforgettable hits. James is also
credited for bridging the gap between R&B and rock and roll. By 1993, Etta James
got her well-deserved spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

AMY WINEHOUSE

have had.” These wise words are from Amy Winehouse, one of the most prolific
singers and guitarists who earned praise from figures like Bob Dylan in which he
described her as, “the last real individualist around.”

Amy Winehouse

Her time on stage and with the guitar resulted in two albums from which she
became the first British woman to win five Grammy Awards. Some of her most
popular songs are “Stronger Than Me,” “Love is Losing Game,” “Rehab,” and “Back
to Black.”

PATSY CLINE

One of the biggest artists to make a very successful genre cross, Patsy Cline
began as a country music star before moving on to pop where she continued to
entertain millions.

Patsy Cline

Cline is still considered to be one of the most influential artists of the 20th
century as many fans point to her diverse music styles and her “emotional
expression and delivery of lyrics.” To this day, she has continued to be an
inspiration for many artists.

ALICIA KEYS

Alicia Keys is considered to be the “Queen of R&B” although she didn’t begin as
a pop or R&B star. In fact, Keys started out as a classically trained pianist
who actually started writing her own music when she was just 12 years old.

Alicia Keys

By age 15, she’d already been signed with a major record label and produced a
debut album, Songs in A Minor, which earned her 16 million copies and a Grammy
Award. Can you imagine being that young and successful?

DONNA SUMMER

Born as LaDonna Adrian Gains, Donna Summer earned major fame and recognition
during the disco music era. Not one to sit back and let others outshine her,
Summer was the first artist in history to have back-to-back albums reach number
one on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States.

Donna Summer

Some of her biggest hits are still played at disco parties and include “Love to

Little Moonlight Can Do,” becoming a standard in the world of jazz. She never
did have any formal musical education, but more than made up for it with
improvisational skill and an incredible voice.

MADONNA

What else can be said about Madonna? Having been the quintessential pop star of
the ’80s, the singer of hits such as “Material Girl” and “Like a Virgin” has
constantly reinvented herself over the years. She has incorporated a variety of
sounds into her music and is just as recognized for her image as she has been
for her voice.

movies such as A League of Their Own and Evita.

James to be her biggest influence with Aguilera even saying that she’s her
“all-time favorite singer.”

BARBRA STREISAND

music grew and she took the first steps into her career.

albums and has won numerous awards including 10 Grammy Awards, as well as a
Lifetime Achievement Award. Even though Streisand primarily sings pop music, her
powerful voice has led her to be labeled as semi-operatic.

ELLA FITZGERALD

Although she doesn’t have the official or unofficial title, it’s safe to say
that Ella Fitzgerald could be referred to as the “Queen of Jazz Performance.”
Often collaborating with musicians like Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong,
Fitzgerald managed to stand out and earn 14 Grammy Awards for songs like “Cheek
to Cheek,” “Dream a Little Dream of Me,” and “It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t
Got That Swing).”

Ella Fitzgerald

By the end of her career, Fitzgerald earned the National Medal of Arts and the
Presidential Medal of Freedom.

ADELE

Adele didn’t begin her career in any professional capacity. In fact, she
actually got her start playing in parks throughout the city of London. Imagine
looking back now and being the club owner who turned Adele away.

Adele

In 2008, she released her first studio album, 19. Three years later, her second
album — 21 — was released. That album made her one of the biggest stars in music
earning her incredible amounts of praise, not to mention the six Grammy Awards
that came her way as well.

BEYONCÉ

R&B artists of all time. She’s so good that for years, fans would put out videos
of them reacting in disbelief to friends who said that she wasn’t the best ever.

solo career in 2006 where she earned the most Grammy Awards in history — a

incomparable Aretha Franklin. Known as the “Queen of Soul,” Franklin actually
got her career as a gospel singer in her church choir.

is today, she signed a deal with Columbia Records at age 18 and — throughout her
life — has released 38 studio albums, as well as 131 singles. She became the
first woman ever to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.

MARIAH CAREY

Mariah Carey is known for many things including her five Grammy Awards and over
200 million records sold. But, out of all those things, one of the most renowned
aspects of her career is her incredible voice — which is able to hit an
incredible range of five octaves.

Mariah Carey

That unique ability has helped to propel her to incredible heights, with many
considering her to be one of the original pioneers of contemporary pop and an
inspiration to generations of singers.

WHITNEY HOUSTON

Not only does Whitney Houston have an incredible voice but she also has the
nickname of “The Voice.” Is there really much more we can add to that? To say
that Whitney Houston is an award-winning artist is like saying the ocean is vast
— both are true but neither capture the true scale of either thing.

Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston is actually in the Guinness World Record as the most awarded
female artists of all time, with a total of 415 throughout her career.
