On February 21, 2026, actress Sharon Faqua publicly dismissed social media rumours claiming her husband, Shawn Faqua, is short. She explained that his appearance in photos stems from her own exceptional height rather than his lack of stature. The couple used a lighthearted interview to clarify the height difference.
Fans of the Nollywood power couple often spark debates online regarding their physical pairing. Sharon noted that comment sections frequently fill with questions about why she chose a “short man” or why she wears high heels. This social media chatter prompted the couple to set the record straight in a recent sit-down session.
The conversation began with a playful energy as the two stars joked about their identities. This bond mirrors the support shown when Shawn Faqua detailed the sacrifices actors make to stay in the industry. Sharon admitted that the constant focus on her husband’s height can be frustrating to read.
Sharon corrects the height narrative
Sharon firmly told viewers that her husband does not fit the “short” label people give him. She insisted that the visual contrast comes solely from her being very tall. The actress finds the recurring questions about her choice of footwear next to her husband quite amusing.
”He’s not that bad he’s not short i’m just very tall okay but he’s not he’s not short but I think that’s one one thing that people because I don’t know where it’s coming from,” she said.
Sharon further explained that people often misunderstand their proportions when they see them together. She often sees critics asking why she wears heels if he is not tall. She maintains that Shawn is a person of average or good height who simply stands next to a very tall spouse.
Shawn Faqua joins the joke
Shawn did not seem bothered by the online comments as he laughed along with his wife. He even joked about the situation to show he has no height complex. Much like a previous interview about Gilbert Baci crush on his sister Hilda’s friend in the industry, fans are always eager to discuss the private lives of stars.
”Ah baby cut me why you wearing heels why do you wear heels you know he’s not tall like I see your He’s not a short person so yeah,” she shouted.
The couple ended the discussion by reiterating that Shawn is not a short person by any standard. They hope this clarification puts an end to the “short man” theories. By addressing it directly, they turned a potential point of criticism into a moment of shared humor.
