June 23 (UPI) -- A British man and his wife, who is nearly 2 feet taller than him, were awarded a Guinness World Record for great- est height differ- ential of a married couple.
James and Chloe Lusted, who mar- ried in 2016,
were awarded the Guinness
record in the
different sexes/taller woman category after their heights were verified at 3 feet, 7 inches for James and 5 feet, 5 inches for Chloe -- a difference of 1 foot, 10 inches.
James Lusted, 33, an actor and TV host, met Chloe, 27, a teacher, through friends in 2012. James was born with diastrophic
dysplasia, a rare type of dwarfism that affects bone and cartilage development.
"Our love story has taught us and taught others that you can't judge a book by its cover, and just to love the person no matter who they are. I don't think you can choose who you fall in love with," Chloe Lusted said.

An 11-year-old girl has delivered a baby — and is believed to be the youngest- ever mom to give birth in the United Kingdom, a report said Sunday.
The child, who was 10 years old when she became preg- nant, gave birth earlier this month when she was more than 30 weeks along, the Sun reported.
“This is the youngest mother I’ve heard of,” Dr.
Carol Cooper told the outlet.
“Weight affects many hor- mones. Because children are heavier, puberty is happening ear- lier these days,” she added.
The pregnancy stunned the girl’s family, who were not aware that she was expect- ing, the outlet reported.
“It has come as a big shock,” a source who knows the family told the outlet.
“She’s now being
surrounded by expert help. The main thing is that she and the baby are OK.”
Social services and police are investigating, the outlet reported.
“There are ques- tions around why people did not know. That is very worrying,” the source told the Sun.
The youngest mom in Britain was previously Tressa Middleton, who was 12 years old when she gave birth in 2006.
