MICHAEL CAINE AND SHAKIRA BAKSH

If age doesn’t matter, then height doesn’t matter, too— especially for Michael Caine and Shakira Baksh. This longstanding couple, who has been together since 1973, are polar opposites in attitude as well as height. Caine measures about 6’2″ while his wife of nearly 47 years is 5’1″. Do you wonder if Baksh has to be on tiptoes to give Caine a peck on the cheek or if her husband bends? In any case, it doesn’t matter.

It’s always a pretty sight to see a couple doing this, let alone a pair who have been together for decades. Did you also know that they have a cute love story? Caine took great lengths to meet Baksh after falling in love with her in a TV commercial. He decided to fly to London right away after learning she lived there—and the rest is history. To a certain degree, this love story seems straight out of a movie!
