New 90 Day Fiancé star Memphis Smith recently revealed her real height on Instagram, and many fans were surprised. Memphis is a 34-year-old woman from Muskegon, Michigan, who is featured on the show with her Tunisian boyfriend, Moknii Hamza. The couple found each other online, and after chatting for about eight months, Memphis flew to Tunisia to meet Hamza in person. She is convinced that her new boyfriend is a good man who can become a stepdad to her two young kids. During her two-week trip to Tunisia, Memphis wants to learn more about Hamza and his family, and also get married to him.
She was so excited to meet Hamza for the first time. However, she soon realized that overcoming the language barrier in their relationship would be a big challenge. She also learned that her boyfriend wasn't honest with her. He didn't tell Memphis that his mother didn't want them to sleep in the same room before the wedding. Still, the couple ignored Hamza's mother's rule and did the deed. Memphis is now trying to get back in her potential mother-in-law's good books by offering to help her out in the kitchen.
Memphis may not be very good at cooking, but she does touch lives every day as a nurse practitioner. She recently shared a picture from the hospital she works at, to show how short she looked compared to another health care professional, who is six feet and four inches tall. Memphis revealed that her height is four feet and nine-and-a-half inches tall. She used the hashtag, "shortpeopleproblems." Many fans were shocked to learn about the 90 Day Fiancé star's real height. A Redditor posted her picture with the title (via heeeer3sjohnny), "Memphis is also considered a little person (4'9", classified under 4'10")." Another Redditor commented, "I first noticed how short she was during her airport scene…i used to have the same luggage, and she was barely taller than the telescoping handle!"
Someone else, NolaJen1120 said, "Oh wow! I knew she was on the shorter side but didn't realize she was 4' 9". However, a few fans suggested that Memphis can't be considered a little person or dwarf just because she is short. Her body seems to have the same proportions that most taller people have, and she doesn't appear to have any medical or genetic condition. She is very petite, but her height is perfectly normal. Many fans who stand below 4' 10" have shared they don't suffer from dwarfism or have any other rare ailment; they are simply short.
When Memphis was about to meet Hamza in Turkey for the first time, she was worried about how he would react to her height, or whether he would be attracted to her. The Tunisian native didn't mind his girlfriend's short height and made her feel loved. The couple got physical the same night, but it seems like Hamza needs to build up his stamina. 90 Day Fiancé celeb Memphis may be short, but she is also a strong, confident woman who knows what she wants.
