Yes, yes. We are aware of this couple’s decision to end their togetherness. But, they were once married, so we’re still stacking them up on this height comparison list! Jennifer Aniston is undeniably loved by people, because of the phenomenal TV sitcom, Friends. She played the unforgettable role of Rachel Green. Friends will break your heart, but it will also give you lots of laughs in every episode. And Aniston played an integral part of the gang for many years.
Aniston’s love life has always been a front page deal for the media, so her relationship with comedian and screenwriter, Justin Theroux, was a big deal. With pictures of them appearing constantly, their height difference was a regular topic of conversation in the gossip magazines. The pair met in 2011, on the set of Wanderlust, and immediately began dating. Then, in 2012, they got engaged. By 2015, they were married. Keeping to their tradition of changing things up every two years, the couple decided to end their marriage in 2017. With such a lot of time shared together, we hope that they’re still good friends.
Shakira and Gerard Pique
This couple first met when soccer player Gerard Pique appeared in Shakira’s “Waka-Waka” music video, for the 2010 World Cup. At that time, this tall guy had already piqued Shakira’s interest. Pique, 6’4” towers over Shakira at 5’0” by an entire foot. Despite the height difference, the magic still happened.
A year after filming the music video, Gerard Pique and Shakira Shakira made their relationship official. Soon after, they got married. Now, Shakira and Pique are happy and thankful for their two children. While the two are no longer together, they’re doing well as individuals too. Shakira has continued to be a sold-out artist, even after years of being active in the industry; and Pique is still one of the most popular center-backs in both FIFA and EUFA.
Jamie Cullum and Sophie Dahl
This is the 21st century. Surely by now, the “guys should be taller” standard is outdated. Height has nothing to do with love. Like age, it’s just a number. No couple proves this point more than the adorable Jamie Cullum and Sophie Dahl. These two are pretty well-known in their individual careers. Cullum is a singer and songwriter while Dahl is a model and author.
Dahl towers over Cullum by almost half a foot. Dahl once commented about their height difference, stating, “I think if we were both slightly more neurotic people, it would be crippling, but the fact of the matter is that we’re both happy. It’s cool.” This couple tied the knot in 2010 and they’re very happy together, spending a lot of their time in the company of their two amazing daughters.
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.
