Fans of Game of Thrones know Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson as “The Mountain,” a title that suits him well. Standing at 6 feet 9 inches and recognized as one of the world’s strongest athletes, he cuts an unforgettable figure. His wife, Kelsey Henson, stands at just 5 feet, creating a height difference that often sparks curiosity—especially about how everyday moments work for them.

The couple married in 2018 and frequently share glimpses of their life together online. Their posts reflect a warm partnership built on humor, affection, and resilience. Moreover, they have weathered profound sorrow. In 2023, they shared the heartbreaking loss of their daughter, Grace, who was stillborn. Their openness about grief touched many supporters around the world. They now cherish life with their son, Stormur, born in 2025.

Despite their public visibility, the pair often face unkind comments online. Björnsson has spoken about blocking those who target his family, choosing instead to focus on positivity and the people who uplift them.

However, one question continues to follow them, and it is surprisingly gentle: how do they manage a simple kiss with such a dramatic height gap? During an Instagram Q&A, Kelsey offered a lighthearted explanation. Sometimes he bends. Sometimes she tiptoes. And sometimes, she joked, he simply lifts her.

Their easygoing answer fits the spirit of their relationship. They meet challenges—large or small—with patience, humor, and a clear devotion to one another.
