My girlfriend is just 3ft tall & I'm 6ft – strangers assume she's a child and accuse me of being a ‘predator'
BY now most of us have come across age gap couples - but have you ever heard of being in a height difference relationship? Meet Kelsey and Dabb who share more than a 2ft height difference between them. 2 2 At just 3'11'', Kelsey revealed that her partner Dabb towers over her pint-sized body at an impressive 6ft - which has left many trolls dubbing Dabb ''a predator''. The loved-up duo are well-known social media stars and they met a few years ago when Dabb slid into her DMs online. Over time, feelings started to develop between the two and although they don't recall when things got serious, the two have been inseparable ever since. However, despite feeling strongly about one another, the couple are judged online because of their stark height difference appearance - with Kelsey being branded ''a little girl''. Kelsey, from the US, was born with dwarfism and although she has ''the height of a child'', the content creator said she has ''woman features''. The couple recently shared their story on Love Don't Judge, where they opened up about the online abuse they've fallen victim to. ''I never imagined dating someone significantly shorter than me. I see Kelsey as if she's tall - she acts like she's 6ft tall,'' Dubb chuckled. ''People think I'm, like, incompetent before they even talk to me - it's very offending,'' Kelsey said. ''They be following us around laughing at us,'' the pint-sized beauty revealed the shocking reactions the pair tend to get when out and about. ''But us together, we're like a super power couple,'' Dubb chimed in, hitting back at the keyboard warriors. I weigh 5 stone more than my 'petite prince' boyfriend – trolls say it's 'emasculating' & claim he's afraid to leave me (1) Although growing up Kelsey faced some challenges in terms of how others perceived her, she grew up to not bother about what strangers think of her. However, that doesn't mean the couple aren't subjected to scrutiny and trolling. ''A big thing people try and say is that it's not acceptable - it's not acceptable for a little person to be with a taller man due to them thinking I have childlike features. ''Some people say that it would be bad for Dabb to have a kid with me because he is giving off predator vibes,'' said Kelsey, adding they've also been dubbed ''a dad and daughter combo''. Hitting back at the critics, the 6ft giant said: ''The fact that you sit there on your phone and type that is kind of insane to me.'' Despite what the online trolls have to say, the pair seem closer than ever, with Kelsey describing Dabb as her ''biggest supporter''. ''He's constantly urging and challenging me to be a better me.'' Dabb affectionally said of his girlfriend: ''I mean, I never had a person come into my life that's so small but with such a big personality. ''I've achieved so much social media-wise and I've got way bigger than I ever thought I could achieve with Kelsey. ''We want to accomplish any and everything.'' As for now, the pair are doing as much as they can for themselves, before, hopefully, starting their own family one day. On YouTube, where the video has racked up more than 31k views in just one day, viewers were stunned by the brutal trolling. One person said: ''Soooo she's not supposed to ever get a boyfriend because she's little and the man is looked at as a predator? ''That's not fair to her, she's a grown woman.'' Someone else chimed in: ''There is nothing wrong with this at all. It's plainly obvious she's a woman, she's just little.'' ''How can anyone say she looks like a child? She didn't even look like a child as a teenager! If they're happy leave them alone,'' a third agreed.

Woman goes viral for unconventional love story as she insists 4ft husband is not AI-generated
A Canadian content creator has revealed that she had to reassure strangers online that photos of her four-foot husband were not AI-generated. Anita Wing Lee and Timothy Muttoo, from Toronto, met through mutual friends in 2021, but despite having plenty in common, their romantic connection wasn't instant, and she initially friend-zoned him. She said that their height difference was an issue for her at first, as she asked herself: 'How does a "regular" 5'4" woman fall in love with a four-foot-tall man?' Tim, an engineer and co-founder of a Canadian charity working to make clean drinking water accessible to all, was the first to develop romantic feelings, but Anita saw her future husband as a 'great friend'. But after reflecting on her emotions she decided to give Tim a chance and she soon realized Tim was everything she was looking for in a husband: he was kind and with 'no red flags'. Eventually going from friends to partners, the couple got engaged in September 2024 before tying the knot this year. They are now sharing their story on their own website to prove love does come in all shapes and sizes. Tim was born in Canada, while Anita's family moved there from Cambridge when she was young. For 15 years, the pair lived just 20 minutes apart but were completely unaware of each other. They first met at a mutual friend's birthday party in 2021. Soon, they would form a strong friendship, spending hours talking to one another and going on trips together. Eventually, Tim's feelings towards Anita turned romantic. Recalling their love story on their website, Anita said: 'Tim started texting me more frequently, and I found myself feeling uneasy. I didn't see him that way, and I already knew he liked me. 'I felt like I needed to put a stop to it, but at the same time, I didn't want to lose him as a friend.' With the help of her sister, Anita drafted a message to try and explain that she wanted to remain as friends only, and maintain their boundaries with one another. Anita said she hesitated over sending the text, and once she did send the message, she regretted it almost immediately, which suggested to her that her feelings were perhaps stronger for Tim than she realized. However, she wondered: 'But how could I imagine myself with a 4-foot man? Tim's torso was normal-sized, but his arms and legs were shorter. While that could look cute in some ways, it wasn't what I had ever pictured in a partner. 'I had always envisioned myself looking up into my partner's eyes, but with Tim, that wasn't possible. What was I supposed to do?' As she reflected on her feelings, she remembered the love story of motivational speaker Nick Vujicic, who was born with no arms and legs, and his wife Kanae. She eventually discovered that she had strong romantic feelings for Tim and explained how she believed they could have something 'even better' than she pictured for her life. They are now sharing their story online, with Anita recently writing on her Instagram account: 'I never prayed for someone tall. You know how people write out lists of what they're hoping for in a partner? I never actually wrote down 'tall', because I just assumed God would bring me someone tall. Ideally, someone 5 inches taller than me so I could wear heels and they'd still be taller. 'But I never actually added it to my list, because there were other things that mattered more.' She added: 'I prayed for someone with substance and character: a visionary, a humble world traveler, big-hearted and creative (or at least someone who understood my creative soul), with deep faith. And I always sensed he'd come from a different culture. 'It all felt a bit contradictory, so I didn't know where God would find this person. How do you find someone who excels in the modern world and is totally open to leaving it all behind? But that's who I am. All those versions of me co-exist in me, so I trusted that God had someone out there who could hold it all. 'As I got to know @timmuttoo, I saw he was all of these things. But… he wasn't tall. And when I asked God about it, He said, "Well, it wasn't on your list". 'Hey! It wasn't on my list, because it just didn't matter as much as being with someone who understood me to the core and stood by me. Asking for someone tall felt so… surface-level, in comparison. And of course, God picked up on that little omission. Because the external of a person is just that, external. It's the internal - the heart, the soul, the kindness, the way they treat you and others - that truly matters. 'Thankfully, I processed the height thing… and now I actually think it's so adorable! It's an added bonus that brings so much fun and sweetness to our lives! 'So if you're still waiting for your person …they may not look like what you pictured and that might be the best part.' Loved up: Anita got her fairytale ending when she tuned into her feelings for Tim without letting preconceived notions of her 'perfect man' hold her back In another post, she confessed: 'We know many of you have been curious about our story, how we met and how our love grew. And, no, we are not an AI-generated image. 'There's the short version (we met through mutual friends), and then there's the longer version, which we think is far more winding and wonderful. Something that we don't want to forget.' 'So we wrote it all down in the hope that it might inspire and encourage someone one day, right when you need it,' she added, before sharing a link to their website.

I friend-zoned my four-foot husband because he didn't look like my dream man but marrying him was the best decision I've ever made - even though strangers think our photos are AI
A woman has revealed how she initially friend-zoned her four-foot husband after admitting he wasn't 'what I had ever pictured in a partner' - and now they're forced to reassure strangers online that their photos aren't 'AI-generated'. Anita Wing Lee and Timothy Muttoo, from Toronto, met through mutual friends in 2021, but despite having plenty in common, their romantic connection wasn't instant. Businesswoman Anita confessed that their height difference was an issue for her at first, with the content creator questioning: 'How does a "regular" 5'4" woman fall in love with a four-foot-tall man?' As such, Tim - an engineer and co-founder of a Canadian charity working to make clean drinking water accessible to all - was the first to develop romantic feelings, but Anita saw her future husband as a 'great friend'. But after reflecting on her emotions, and remembering the love story of Australian motivational speaker Nick Vujicic, who was born with no arms and legs, and his wife Kanae, she decided to give Tim a chance to prove he was her fairytale ending. Anita soon realised Tim was everything she was looking for in a husband; he was kind and thoughtful, with 'no red flags', and she confessed that when she thought about the list of qualities she wanted in a future partner, she 'never prayed for someone tall'. Eventually going from friends to partners, the couple got engaged in September 2024 before tying the knot this year. The duo - who constantly tell those online that they 'are not an AI-generated image' - are now sharing their unconventional story on their own website to prove love does come in all shapes and sizes. Whilst their love story started some years before their engagement, the couple had actually unknowingly spent years living in the same area of Toronto. Tim was born in Canada, while Anita's family moved to the destination when she was 11 from Cambridge. For around 15 years, the pair lived just 20 minutes apart but were completely unaware of each other. Tim, who left a corporate career behind to start his charity, first met Anita at a mutual friend's birthday party in 2021, but neither felt anything other than friendship initially. Soon, they would form a strong friendship, spending hours talking to one another, going on trips together and sharing their dreams with each other. Eventually, Tim's feelings towards Anita turned romantic, and he increased his contact with the content creator via texts to try and show her more of his personality. Recalling their love story on their website, Anita said: 'Tim started texting me more frequently, and I found myself feeling uneasy. I didn't see him that way, and I already knew he liked me.

I'm 6ft 2' & my man is 2ft 11' – he's always the little spoon but when it comes to sex, our height doesn't matter
A VERY tall woman with a much shorter boyfriend has shared what their life is like. Sarah Button is 6ft 2in – comparatively, her partner, Gabriel Pimentel, is just 2ft 11in. 9 9 9 He also happens to be 19 years older. But the 26-year-old, a content creator with almost 250,000 TikTok followers, says neither age nor height stands in the way of their relationship. 'I've never had many issues with dating, but always found myself dating people about an inch shorter,' Sarah told What's The Jam. 'But, I am currently dating a much shorter guy and we get fetishised a lot. 'He is 2'11 tall and 45 years old. '[These are] both the biggest gaps I have had – ever. 'Height doesn't bother me in regards to partners matching mine or [being] taller. 'But I do get bothered by the thought of people suddenly realising how 'large' I am and wanting someone smaller. 'It [our height difference] doesn't change the dynamics too much; he still drives, works and picks me up from the airport etc. 'There are just certain accommodations to make [in other areas]. Couple's Clever Hack to Mask Height Difference 'There are definitely proportional differences in the bedroom but the difference in this relationship is the amount of effort he puts in both in person. 'I wish people would understand that we're all the same size laying down and other things matter. 'And to take into account that tall bodies move differently so some movements can look a little awkward and need to be adjusted (in the gym, during sex etc). 'I hope men understand that being a little spoon at least once in your life feels great! ' I know so many short-guy-tall-girl combos that are such successful pairings Sarah Button Sarah and her beau also face another challenge – while she is based in Brisbane, Australia, he lives in Los Angeles, US. But they are both making the effort and have been together for six months so far. Before meeting Gabriel, the influencer had a certain way of dating to make sure she didn't get hurt. She said: 'Height is something I always had in my bio straight away on dating apps along with 'Probably taller than you'. 9 9 9 Celebrity couples with height differences Zendaya (5'10") and Tom Holland (5'8") Cameron Diaz (5'9") and Benji Madden (5'6") Eniko Parrish (5'7") and Kevin Hart (5'4") Gwendoline Christie (6'3") and Giles Deacon (6') Tina Fey (5'5") and Jeff Richmond (5'2") Nicole Kidman (5'11") and Keith Urban (5'10") Helen Lasichanh (5'11") and Pharrell Williams (5'9") Erin Darke (5'7") and Daniel Radcliffe (5'5") 'Also, the amount of times someone with 6'2 in their bio has been 5'10 is hilarious. 'Not that the height matters but the deception is a red flag off the bat from them!' Sarah believes more men should try dating a taller woman. She said: ' Shorter guys wanting to date a taller girl should shoot for the moon, I know so many short-guy-tall-girl combos that are such successful pairings. '[Growing up, being tall] always made me a bit self-conscious. 'I was more negatively impacted when I was younger and taller than everyone at school but eventually everyone grew so I stood out less!
