Wives are taller than their husbands. Celebrity couples in which the girl is taller than the man

It is traditionally believed that in an ideal married couple the man should be taller than the fair sex. The question arises: how much higher? Very often lately there have been couples in which the difference in height is quite impressive.

This is understandable, because in most cases, men consider the most charming and attractive not tall models from glossy covers, but small and fragile women.

And a woman, in turn, with a tall and strong man can feel like she is behind a stone wall.

It is more common for us when in a marriage or relationship the man is older than the woman. But women who married a much younger man claim to have discovered the secret to happiness. Maybe it's worth taking a closer look at these couples?

Tina Kandelaki

Presenter and producer Tina Kandelaki for a long time was married to a peer Andrei Kodrakhin, one of the owners of the Askon clinic. But in 2010 they divorced, and in 2014 Tina married Vasily Brovko, who is 15 years younger than her. The presenter hid her husband’s name and the very fact of the wedding for a long time; only thanks to the ring on her finger did fans know that everything was in order with the star’s personal life, but everything finally became clear in May 2016. Thanks Twitter.

Britney Spears

Britney Spears, who made the whole world hum Baby One More Time, is no longer a baby, she is 36, she has a not very successful marriage with Kevin Federlein and a string of novels (including with Justin Timberlake!) Behind her, her new boyfriend Sam Asghari is 24 year, she recently touchingly congratulated him on his birthday on Instagram. Sam calls her "the most beautiful woman in the world,” and from their photos together you can make a calendar for Valentine’s Day.

Lera Kudryavtseva

When presenter Lera Kudryavtseva married hockey player Igor Makarov, she probably couldn’t imagine how many interesting things she would hear from people about their age difference. Lera at that time was 41 years old, and the groom was 28; last year they celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary. During this time, not a single interview was complete without a question about their marriage, and once the couple even recorded a video in which Lera appeared in the form of an old woman (thanks to special applications!) Rumors about their divorce regularly appear in the press, haters rejoice, but for now without reason.

Yana Rudkovskaya

Many questions about why he chose an older woman were asked to figure skater Evgeni Plushenko. Evgeniy is 35 years old, and his wife, TV presenter and producer Yana Rudovskaya, is 7 years older. Evgeniy constantly repeats that it’s not a matter of age, but how well people feel together and tells them about their pet nicknames: his wife calls him Kotofey, and he calls her Kotofeevna.

Hugh Jackman

One of the sexiest men on the planet, Hugh Jackman, is now 49 years old. And his wife Deborra-Lee Furness is 62. However, the significant age difference does not prevent the couple from living in happy marriage(Hugh and Deborra met in 1995 and got married exactly a year later) and raise two adopted children. In all interviews, Hugh Jackman calls his wife " best mom in the world,” declares that he fell in love with her the first minute he met her and still doesn’t know anyone more attractive.

Julianne Moore

Actress Julianne Moore, now 57 years old, is happily married to director Bart Freundlich, who is 9 years younger than her. Just imagine, they have been together since 1996, they have two children. Juliana admits that the initiative came from her, but now the most difficult thing is to find time to just be together: either filming, then children, or everyday life. But it seems they are succeeding, otherwise they won’t survive 22 years!

Tina Turner

In July 2013, Tina Turner (now 78 years old) married producer Erwin Bach (now 61).

They live in Switzerland, the singer even accepted the citizenship of this country, renouncing her US citizenship.

Sam Taylor-Wood

Director Sam Taylor-Wood met Aaron Johnson when she was 42 and he was 19. He was the perfect choice for the role of John Lennon in her new film, and subsequently for the role of her husband.

They brush off tricky questions - they say that age is a convention, and Aaron at heart is much older and more serious than Sam.

Joan Collins

The fifth husband of British actress Joan Collins (star of the series "Dynasty") is producer Percy Gibson, her junior by 32 years. Once the actress was asked whether the age difference bothered her, to which she replied: “If he dies, then he dies!” Can not argue.

It is customary for us to expect from a man not only the notorious trees, houses and sons, but also tall stature, thanks to which he will proudly rise above his chosen one. It is surprising that the antediluvian installation, dating back thousands of years, still works. True, lately it has been failing more and more often. the site offers to understand exactly what mechanisms are triggered when choosing a partner.

Let's start with an unexpected question. Remember the dashing 90s and newly minted “businessmen” in crimson jackets and gold chains? One of the most important elements of their style were dumb companions, who, however, were a head or even two taller than their benefactors. Almost two decades have passed, there are practically no more notorious “new Russians” left, but there are more and more couples in which the man is shorter than the woman. Why do short young men like tall girls? Why are girls, in turn, not always comfortable with such companions? The site searched for answers to these questions together with our regular experts, sexologist Evgeniy Kulgavchuk and women's psychologist Yulia Stolyarova.

What kind of men like to turn up their noses?

Not all representatives of the stronger half of humanity have a complex if they have to lift their heads to look into the eyes of their companion. Some even enjoy this fact. “Men who prefer women taller than themselves can be divided into three groups,” says sexologist Evgeniy Kulgavchuk. “They are drawn to the tall, or rather to the tall, for various reasons.”

My second mother

The first group of men perceives taller women as mothers. Next to such a beloved, they feel calmer and more protected. This is a kind of delay, “stuck” in psychosexual development, a manifestation of the Oedipus complex. However, with mutual adaptation, such a pair of a taller woman and a short man will be completely harmonious and organic.

Big Prize

The second group views their lovers as a trophy (site note: it seems to us that it was they who came up with the saying that in order to correctly assess the status of a man, it is enough to look at his woman). Such men, as a rule, choose not only tall women, but also, for example, big cars. In these cases, a compensation mechanism often comes into play. In the perception of this group of men, the possession of something, in their opinion, is good and a vivid demonstration of it to others is proof of their own importance in their own eyes and the eyes of other people. These men actually need psychotherapy, but they usually do not realize it themselves and seek help only after serious life shocks.

I saw it and disappeared

In the third group, attraction to tall women is consolidated at the stages of psychosexual development by imprinting. Imprinting is literally “imprinting,” in sexology associated with sexual arousal or other positive emotions. Imprinting can be associated, for example, with individual characteristics - big breasts, long hair, height, smell, etc. In the future, it can influence the choice of sexual partners in adulthood, forming individual preferences. For representatives of this group, height is a fetish, such as, for example, big breasts or long hair. These men may have normal self-esteem and simply have appropriate preferences.

Relationships in couples in each group can be adapted or cause discomfort for the woman, depending on a variety of circumstances.

“Mom” can revel in her role, be happy, feel needed, or, conversely, constantly be irritated by the immaturity of her man-son and even despise him. A “trophy woman” can suffer when a man disrespects her, and when he admires her, she can bask in attention and love.

Statistics show that in 92.5% of couples the man is taller than the woman. On average, the difference in height is about 14 cm. Dutch researchers claim that most people consider this difference in height to be optimal.
However, there are those who completely reject stereotypes. They are happy, despite the fact that the partner is taller than her chosen one.

Our compatriots:
