You know the saying: "tall, dark and handsome". That first criteria can be pretty attractive to some people, but for others, it can lead to feelings of insecurity – unfortunately, our height is yet another aspect of our appearances which can make us feel inadequate as a result of societal pressures.
That's why we love to see celebrity couples challenging height stigma and not letting something as superficial as height gap get in the way of love.
In these famous current and former relationships, we've got a mix of couples, some with a man being the tallest – which society tells us is more 'acceptable' when it comes to straight relationships – and others where the woman is taller.
The latter gets some stigma in our society, even still today. But really, what does height matter? These celebs are proving the answer to that question is very little. How about we just live and let live, and not worry so much about who is tallest in the relationship - just like these A-listers?
Some of our most striking couple picks from over the years: Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster (who towers over at 6"1, which is just one reason why she is an excellent model), Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman (OK, we know they're no more, but who could forget this former power couple?), Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds (Scarlett is 5"4), and Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus (now both having firmly moved on, it's so though that gap was reflected in their height difference). Some of our matches have the best part of a foot between them – proving that love comes in all shapes and sizes.
So sit back and have a scroll below through our favourite-ever celebrity height gap relationships. Some of these former loves will be a real trip down memory lane...
