Dabb stands at 6 foot tall while Kelsey is just 3’11 due to being born with dwarfism.
Speaking to Truly , she said: “Even though I have the height of a child, I have womanly features. So, I have something called achondroplasia. It’s the most common form of dwarfism.”
The couple first met on social media and have been ever since, but Dabb said he never imagined being with someone so short.
He added: “I’ve never imagined anyone significantly shorter than me. I see Kelsey as if she’s tall.
“Kelsey acts like she’s 6 feet tall sometimes. She does not act that height.”
Kelsey said her height can often get in the way of every day life as she struggles to reach things in her home.
While in the kitchen, Dabb had to bring down the plates from the higher cupboard as it was just too far for Kelsey to reach.
While she may struggle with some tasks, she revealed she was infuriated that people assumed she was ‘incompetent’.
She said: “People think I’m incompetent before they even talk to me. It’s very offensive. I would say people can be imposing.
“They can try and talk to him in front of me or try and disrespect me and feel at ease about it because of the fact that I’m shorter. They be following us around laughing at us.”
The pair also revealed that people often leave cruel comments, calling Kelsey a ‘little girl’ and claiming the pair are a ‘father-daughter combo.’
Reading out the comments left for her, Kelsey said: “Somebody also said ‘that’s a little girl,’ ‘dad and daughter combo.'”
Despite the negativity, the couple say it has made their bond stronger.
The clip went viral with over 13k views and people were quick to share their thoughts in the comments.
One person wrote: “People need to stop, she is a grown woman, I hope they continue to love and support each other.”
Another commented: “Why is anyone even caring? Shouldn’t adults be able to date whoever they want?”
“You two are perfect together, and make a great couple,” penned a third.
