A MUM has revealed the height difference with her 6ft 7inch boyfriend makes tall women so jealous that they blast her 5ft frame and shame her for 'taking one of the tall boys'.

Sophie Hines, 28, from Westcliff-on-sea, Essex, had to google celebrity couples with large height differences to be reassured the couple wouldn't look 'ridiculous' together when she first started dating Miles Lloyd, 26.

All her doubts were put to rest when the pair found an old photo which showed they had met ten years before, posing together in a club because of their contrasting heights.

The pair have now been together for 18 months and have embraced their size difference, admitting they find the gap between them 'hysterical', and that they 'wouldn't have it any other way'.

While they are often mistaken for 'dad and daughter' as a result of the gigantic 1ft 7in height difference, the happy couple now share six-month-old son Remy Lloyd together.

But for poor Sophie things haven't been easy, as she has revealed that 'taller girls' often rant at her online, telling her to 'leave the tall boys alone' because of her shorter height.

"There are a lot of angry taller girls who tell me their boyfriend is smaller than them and say why have I taken a tall one," Sophie said. "They said I should leave the tall boys alone.

"But I can't help it, can I? It's such a silly comment. You can't help who you like, and I'm not going to dismiss someone because they are tall and just go out with someone who is 5ft 5."

Miles, also from Westclilff-on-sea, added: "People shouldn't let their ego or any other social pretence guide them like that because they'll limit themselves and not find someone that they really love."

When people aren't slamming their visible height difference, the pair say they are asked intimate questions about the logistics of their relationship - and are even quizzed about their sex life.

Mum-of-two Sophie said: "I just can't believe that that's the first think of. We get so many comments about how we have sex, and loads of people ask how we kiss.

"And when I was pregnant all I heard from everyone was that I was going to have a big baby and that they they 'felt sad for me' - but then it turned out Remy was tiny."

But the couple, who met in the office where they both work as bank under-workers, want people to know that think they 'look very good together', and 'love' being together.

Miles said: "I like our height difference. I love being out with Sophie and showing her off, and I think we look very good together.

"We never even spoke about the height difference when we started going out. I like that she's small, I just like her. And while I can't believe so many people are interested in us, we just embrace it."

"I always ask him if he wishes I was taller but he always says no," Sophie added. "And our height difference does't affect our relationship at all and I wouldn't have him any other way.

"We always get looks when we go out which was weird at first but we've just embraced it now, and Miles is so oblivious to it.

"But I always thought he was cute and I loved the way he looked. I used to think, I want a boyfriend just like that. Then we ended up together, and we have a baby together."
