Bill Cosby and Camille Hanks

Bill Cosby stands at 6 feet and 1 inch, while his wife of many years, Camille Hanks, is 5 feet and 6 inches tall. Hanks was only 18 and Cosby was already 25 when the pair met in Hanks’ hometown. They were set up on a blind date by a common friend at a bowling alley. It was reportedly love at first sight. Cosby knew he didn’t only have to woo her but also her entire family, so he did his best to win her father over as well. He was just an aspiring comedian back then. He didn’t have a degree so he was really counting on making it into show business.

The two finally got married with their parents’ blessing in 1964 and have five children together. Now more than five decades together, the two have gone through so much as a couple, but continue to stay married.
