How Tall Is HGTV's Erin Napier? Her Major Height Gap With Husband Ben Has Everyone Wondering

"Home Town" stars Ben Napier and Erin Napier, house flippers extraordinaire, have made a name for themselves on HGTV. Although there are plenty of false rumors about the Napiers out there, one thing is undeniable: the college sweethearts have a massive height difference. That might even be the first thing people notice when they sit down to watch their shows.

Ben is a whopping 6 feet, 6 inches tall, which Erin confirmed in a post on her blog in 2015. But how does Erin measure up? She's over a foot shorter than her husband. Speaking to Hooked On Houses in 2016, Erin gave insight into the making of "Home Town" and admitted her height difference with Ben has caused some filming challenges on the show. "Because Ben is [6 feet, 6 inches] and I'm [5 feet, 5 inches], I had to stand on a crate called a 'half apple' so we would fit in the frame together nicely in every ['on the fly' interview]," Erin said. "There's a formula for who stands on which side, and you never deviate from it."

Erin has used social media to give her fans glimpses at the "Home Town" production process, including sharing multiple pictures of her standing on the aforementioned apple boxes alongside Ben. Her husband is, of course, merely standing on his own two feet. He towers over Erin, despite her additional boost. "Y'all are the cutest!!" one fan gushed in the comments on Instagram.

Erin's blog post referencing Ben's height had a touching double meaning

Ben Napier and Erin Napier have had such a drastic height difference the entire time they've known each other, due to their meeting as young adults in college. Even though they're unrecognizable in pics and videos from their wedding, the way the groom towers over the bride as they dance makes it a bit easier for HGTV fans to pick up on their identity.

However, the Napiers' height difference doesn't seem to be the source of any red flags in their relationship — unlike Erin's gushing comments about Ben. Not all of what Erin has said about her beau raises alarms, however. In her blog post about Ben's stature and physical strength, for instance, Erin also raved about the strength of his character. She wrote about the ways he's supported her and her family during their relationship. "He's big because he has to carry so many people ... But his heart is always light," Erin said. "There's a lot of grace in there." That's even sweeter than the details on the HGTV couple's first kiss.
