Francinaldo da Silva Carvalho holding hands with his love, Elisany da Cruz Silva, |
Time for a kiss: World's tallest girl, Elisany, puckers up (down?) to Francinaldo |
Elisany is in a relationship with Francinaldo da
Silva Carvalho, 22, who stands at 5ft 4in.
And such love comes with a high price – he has to
practically stand on his toes and crane his neck to get a kiss.
The construction worker said: “My friends say
things like, ‘How do you hug her?’. I say, ‘There’s a way of doing
everything’.”
Elisany, an aspiring model from Salinopolis,
Brazil, is just an inch taller than Stoke City’s Peter Crouch — she has a form
of gigantism due to a tumour on her pituitary gland.
She grew faster than her seven siblings from the
age of 11 and hit 6ft 9in when she was 14. But her sudden growth caused pain in
her limbs and joints.
Surgeons removed the gland two years ago and she
shrank by an inch — but she could still not fit on the school bus and had to
quit school due to teasing.
But she’s happy now with Francinaldo. She said:
“What really attracted me was his personality, the way he acts with people and
the way he acts with me.
“The only thing that really affects us is when we
hang out holding hands — it seems like he is my little brother or son.”
