Let's face it: Most women have a secret checklist of things we would like our future partners to be - and the most popular criteria would definitely be height.

I know of many girls (and guys!) who have a minimum or a maximum height that they want their partners to fall under.

However, when love hits you, most of the time these physical attributes go straight out of the window. For these celebrity couples, height is merely a number.

While I can't imagine myself being 30 cm shorter (or taller) than my significant other, such is the life of these celebrity couples. And they are loving every moment of it, so who are we to judge, right?

1. Jolin Tsai and Vivian Dawson

This couple definitely comes up tops in any height difference listicle. Dawson stands at 188 cm tall, while the petite songstress is only 156 cm. That makes the difference a grand total of 32 cm!

I am sure Tsai feels extremely protected and safe when she's walking beside her beau. The formidable pop diva we see on stage immediately becomes a dainty, adorable and relatable.

2. Leanne Li and Wong Cho-lam

It's not always the big guy who's towering over a little lady. This couple hails from Hong Kong, with Li being 175 cm and Wong standing at 163 cm.

Despite the significant height difference, they've not let that get in the way of their relationship.

Earlier this year, they celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary.

They showed their love for each other on social media by posting a romantic throwback photo of themselves kissing at their wedding, with a caption thanking each other for the mutual love and support.

The secret to the success of their relationship?

Li has mentioned in interviews that she never once minded the height difference because humour and character are the things that are most important to her.

3. Yao Yao and Jin Yang

Similar to our first couple, Yao is 155 cm and Jin is 186 cm.

Their relationship was exposed in the media two years ago, but they have always tried to keep it low profile.

That all changed on the White Valentine day that's observed in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China, when Yao posted a picture on Instagram with her leaning in close on Jin's chest, directly revealing that they are still in a relationship.

4. Li Xiao Peng and Angel Li

These lovebirds have a relatively modest height difference (8 cm) but it the taller one out of the two is Angel. This was why the height difference was also one of the focal points of this couple.

Li is a typical Chinese man who appears to be sincere and honest, whereas his wife (being born and raised in America) is the more passionate and outgoing one.

Both of them were poles apart in how they were raised and lived.

Fun fact: Li put in plenty of hard work in the courting process! He worked hard on his English and wrote love letters to Angel every day. However, they've demonstrated how love can conquer all and they now have two lovely kids to show for it.

A sense of humour helps: Li has also joked that as long as he sports a hairdo that has more volume and leans in closer to the camera, no one will be able to tell that he's that much shorter than Angel.

5. Sun Li and Deng Chao

Deng is 175 cm and Sun is 158 cm. Quite a drastic height difference, I must say!

Sun is known for her domineering roles in her dramas but doesn't she look super petite and gentle right next to her husband?
