    In a world in which listing your height in your Tinder bio is considered a courtesy—we can tell by your torso, anyway—we are ever so slightly obsessed with how tall people are, especially in combinations. (And, no, there's nothing wrong with being shorter or taller than your significant other!) Save yourself some Googling and subtraction by clicking through our gallery of current and former celebrity couples with a major height difference, ahead.
