Meet the 4ft 4in bodybuilder and his 6ft 3in transgender girlfriend

Anton Kraft and his girlfriend China Bell are proof that size really doesn’t matter when it comes to love.

In fact, the 4ft 4in bodybuilder has a strict rule of only dating women who are over a foot taller than him. His girlfriend, transgender woman China Bell more than fits the bill, standing at a goddess-like 6ft 3in.

Although 43-year-old China admits she had her doubts at first, she was soon won over by her buff bodybuilder. And the Florida pair are now totally loved-up.

Talking about their relationship, China said: ‘I’ve never dated a 4’4″ guy and I was just so curious. I’m glad I gave him a chance because he’s an amazing person.’

The feeling is mutual, with Anton, 52, saying he feels like ‘the luckiest man in the world’.

He’s certainly one of the strongest. He says he’s the only guy in the world who has ever bench-pressed four times his own body weight.

Anton has been power training for 10 years. But, perhaps unsurprisingly, doctors have warned he might be pushing his body too far.

He claims he’s ‘technically died’ five times before being resuscitated and says he once fell out of a window. Cripes.

However, despite all his accomplishments in the world of weightlifting he reckons his biggest achievement has been sweeping China off her feet.

And he adds: ‘I may also go down on one knee and ask for China’s hand – because I think her name would look so good with my last name.’
