The book of Guinness World Records sold the 100 millionth copy in its 12th year, recently. To mark the big occasion, a whole new set of records were entered from people across the globe but one stood out in particular.

We now have the world’s official ‘Shortest Married Couple’! At a collective height of five feet, Paulo Gabriel da Silva Barros and Katyucia Lie Hoshino have proudly marked their place in the esteemed record book.

Both of them have different kinds of dwarfism but that hasn’t stopped the two from living normal lives and working just like everyone else. Katyucia is a beautician while Paulo works as a legal secretary.


“We hope our new record will encourage the world to look past the physical differences in others and understand all people should be treated equally,” they said.
