15 Little People Who Dated Big People
We all want to find love. No matter who you are, where you are from, or what you look like. Every single one of us (minus sociopaths and psychopaths, but even then… ) harbours a deep seeded want to love and be loved. For some of us, it is easier than others to find someone to love. Some people just have a rougher go of it, and people born with physical handicaps or defects or are just plain different usually find it harder to find someone that will accept them. It does not mean that they don't find anyone, just that their path to love is a little more different than ours. Little people have been getting married and having families since they have been recorded in history. They have a higher than ever profile these days thanks to increased education and awareness about dwarfism.
Education about little people has gotten so much better in the last couple of decades, and even though reality tv shows have been created around them and have given us a glimpse into their lives, people are still somewhat shocked when they see a pairing between a little person and a person with average height. There is somewhat of an expectation that a little person would just end up with another little person, but the 15 little people on this list will tell you that is just was not the case for them. Some of the couples on this list are long term and still happily married, whilst others have more carefree and open dating lives. What they all have in common though is they are a little person that at one point found love with someone of average height.
15 Elena & Preston Grant Are Married With Twins
Little Women: L.A. Elena Grant got her happy ending with husband Preston Grant. Elena and Preston got engaged after only dating for 3 months. Elena is from Russia, so some of her co-stars definitely questioned whether their marriage was happening so quickly because Elena needed a green card, but the fact of the matter is the two are still happily married and have twin boys together now. And if you have ever watched the show, it is obvious how into each other these two are. Elena stands at 4'4 ft which is tall for a little person. She has said she loves that her husband is over 6ft and so much taller than her because he can carry her with ease. When Elena is not busy filming for Little Women: L.A. or being a wife and mother, she performs as a Britney Spears lookalike.

Possibly one of the most famous little people actors ever. And not only is he beloved as an actor, he also has a very entertaining online persona particularly on Reddit. Standing at only 2 ft 8 inches tall he definitely on the smaller end of the little person spectrum but this has not stopped Troyer's dating life. One of his ex-girlfriends stated that the little man is obsessed with knocking boots, who can blame him? It's fun and being a little person doesn't mean it feels any different then it does for the rest of us!

11 Eric The Actor And The Infamous Time With Kendra
Eric The Actor was a member of The Howard Stern Show's Wack Pack and he had a polarizing personality. He had called in one day to discuss American Idol and while at first Stern was not super interested in him, his unusual speaking voice led Stern to asking about him and Eric said he was 3ft tall. From then, he came a regular presence on the Howard Stern show. For a period of time Eric became somewhat obsessed with adult entertainer Kendra, and had people thinking they were dating, something that Howard Stern also propagated. It did end up turning out that the whole thing was just fake news and Eric was misleading the public, but we don't think he was lying about how into her he was. It is hard to tell exactly what happened between the two. Eric passed away the age of 39 a couple of years and perhaps we will never really know what exactly went down between him and Kendra.
10 NCIS Star Linda Hunt Married Her Wife In 2008
Many NCIS stars do not realize that Linda Hunts character Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange on NCIS: L.A. is technically a little person because she is not as short as most people think little people are, but technically she fits the legal definition of anyone under 4 ft 10 being a little person as she clocks in at 4 ft 9 in. On the show even though she is of small stature, she has a very big and respected presence. Her real life personality is no exception to this character trait. In 2008 she found love with wife Karen Klein who is a psychotherapist and they are still happily married today with their fur babies. Linda Hunt keeps a pretty low profile when she isn't filming so a lot of fans are probably surprised that she is A. married to a woman at all.
9 Briana Renee Married Serial Cheater Matt
Another cast member from Little Women: L.A. but this one does not seem to have the happy relationship that her co-stars, Elena and Jasmine have with their husbands. For fans of the show, you are probably familiar with the saga of Brianna Matt. Their story includes him cheating and texting multiple women while she was pregnant with their child. Her friends and co-stars warned Brianna and told her how they felt about Matt, but she insisted on staying with him. He did promise he would never cheat on her again, and everyone knows that cheaters never lie. Of course there were infidelity issues after this as well, and despite all the turmoil in her relationship Brianna still married him and is with him to this day. As of now the two are still together, so we guess something is working for her.
