Love cannot be judged in terms of beauty

James and Chloe – Most Height Difference of a Married Couple (Guinness World Records)

On June 2, 2021, a British man and his wife broke the book of Guinness World Records for the largest difference in height as a married couple. James 33, an actor and presenter and Chloe 27 years, a teacher since 2016 have been married and have a daughter. They are based in the UK, come from the same city and their love story is unique and reminds us of the proverb ‘Love is Blind‘ which means when you are in love with someone you do not look into the faults or imperfections of the person you love. 

James is 109.3 cm (3foot 7 inches) tall and his wife Chloe is 166.1 cm (5ft 5.4 in), the couple has a 56.8 cm almost 2 ft (1ft, 10 in) difference between them.

James has one of the rarer forms of dwarfism, known medically as dystrophic dysplasia. The condition is a genetic disorder that has a massive impact on bone and cartilage development throughout life.

“Came to a point where I had to say to myself that dwarfism doesn’t own me, I own dwarfism. I just wanted to be the same as everyone else and I just wanted to live my life in a big way, in a little body. I can do everything you can do just in a different way.”

James spoke to Guinness World Records

“Honestly, I did have fears about how people would react.  I definitely think there is someone out there for everyone. Perhaps not who you would imagine. Our love story has taught us and taught others that you can’t judge a book by its cover, and just to love the person no matter who they are. I don’t think you can choose who you fall in love with.”

Chloe spoke.
