An American couple, Jessica Burns-McDonnell and Larry McDonnell secured the Guinness world record for greatest height difference of 86.36 cm.

Most interesting is the fact that the wife is much taller than her husband. She is 177.8cm tall, while her husband is 91.44cm.

It began decades ago when Larry, 42, was held back in the first grade and ended up in the same elementary school class as Jessica, 40.

They later got married and had four children together; Olivia, 16, Daxx, 15, Victoria, 12, and one-year-old Felix, according to the Russia Today.

“We had the same friend group growing up and we kind of orbited around each other, but we didn’t really hang out together until we were older,” Jessica said, adding that she was happy in her marriage.
