The tallest man in the world shared the heartbreaking reason behind his divorce, expressing deep sadness. Sultan Kosen, aged 43 and towering at a remarkable 8ft 3in, was married to Merve Dibo, who stands at 5ft 6in. Holding the Guinness World Record for 17 years, Sultan tied the knot with Merve in 2013, emphasizing his deep love for her and his desire to build a family.

Their extravagant wedding, attended by 1,500 guests, was a moment of pure love for Sultan, who described it as a realization of his ultimate dream. Despite rumors of marital discord shortly after the wedding, both Sultan and Merve vehemently denied any issues, publicly reaffirming their commitment to each other.

However, the couple eventually parted ways, with Sultan attributing the divorce to their inability to sustain the relationship as Merve chose to prioritize her family. Reflecting on their wedding day, Sultan expressed profound sorrow, admitting that the separation took a significant emotional toll on him.

Sultan, affected by gigantism and acromegaly due to a pituitary gland tumor, recently disclosed details of the divorce in a Channel 4 documentary. While he still hopes to find a new partner for happiness, he acknowledges the uncertainties ahead. Struggling with health challenges and public attention, Sultan’s journey has been marked by surgeries and physical limitations, leading him to yearn for a more active lifestyle.

Despite his struggles, Sultan’s brother Hasan believes that finding a companion could bring newfound joy and fulfillment to Sultan’s life. Sultan, however, humorously downplays his chances due to self-perceived physical limitations, expressing a wish for improved mobility and a more adventurous life.
