The story of James Lasted is a testament to how love and self-confidence can overcome any obstacles. From a young age, James never felt ashamed of his height.
On the contrary, he saw it as a unique trait that made him different from others. He always proudly stated that his height was his “special feature.”
In 2014, James met Chloe, a woman who stood at 170 cm tall. Their relationship began in the summer of that year, and from their very first date, their life took an unexpected turn.
When they went out for dinner at a café, the waiter, upon seeing them, immediately handed the menu to Chloe. For James, who was 60 cm shorter than her, he offered a drawing album and a set of pencils, mistaking him for a child. It wasn’t until later that the waiter realized his mistake and apologized to the couple.
Despite their significant height difference, James and Chloe not only became a couple but also set a world record for the largest height difference between spouses — 60 cm. This achievement caught the media’s attention and made their story even more inspiring.
In 2016, James and Chloe got married. Two years later, in 2018, they learned they were expecting a baby. In February 2019, their daughter Olivia was born.
Despite James’s unique height, their daughter was born completely healthy. Interestingly, her height did not take after her father, and she is likely to outgrow him one day.
