Being in a "perfect relationship" probably doesn't exist. Your better half might always have imperfections that you aren't too fond of, but you accept them for it. That's why finding the relationship that's perfect for you is always the best option. One aspect that couples tend to stress over is the height difference. Usually, the male is taller than the female in a hetero pairing. However, there are times this isn't the case. Here are some celebrity height differences that might have gone over your head.

Cameron Diaz 5'9" - Benji Madden 5'7"

Cameron Diaz is one of many celebrities who don't mind being taller than their significant other. Perhaps that's because she says she didn't feel complete until after she met the lead singer of Good Charlotte, Benji Madden.

Nicole Richie introduced the two, and they immediately had a quick 17-day engagement. A few years later in 2018, Diaz announced she would be retiring from acting. Looks like she found the one and the height difference is nothing but a number.

R&B sensation The Weeknd and world-famous model Bella Hadid make an adorable couple. The two first began dating back in 2015 after reports confirmed they had been spending a lot of time together since The Weeknd performed at Coachella. Then they took a break, but have been going strong since calling it back on in early 2018.

Since Hadid is a model, she walks around in heels a lot of the time, thus making her babe seem way shorter than he really is. Every red carpet appearance Hadid is the one towering.

They also have a 13-year age difference as well, so it looks like they just don't care about numbers at all, that is until they broke up mid-2018. The only question that sits with us is, will their child take the height of mommy or daddy?
