When 24-year-old Patricia Clarke fell pregnant in 1983, she had more than just a feeling that her child was going to be on the large side.
She’d already had one baby, and knew that big babies ran in her family. That said, she could never have expected just how huge the child she was carrying would turn out to be.
Patricia gave birth to Kevin Robert Clark, who epically weighed in at more than 16 pounds. At the time, he was not just the biggest baby ever born at Community Memorial Hospital, but perhaps the largest baby in the state of New Jersey.
He couldn’t fit into a standard sized crib, and his baby clothes were too small for him, but Kevin was – much to the relief of his parents – perfectly healthy.
Naturally, it wasn’t long before his size was noticed. He made headlines across the country, not only inspiring a segment on “Saturday Night Live”, but also getting a mention on “Good Morning America”.

But Kevin wasn’t done stealing the spotlight there. According to the New York Post, by the time he was 12 he stood 5 foot 7. By junior high he was 6 foot 5. From there, he just kept continuing to grow.
“There isn’t a day that goes by when someone doesn’t ask me how tall I am,” Kevin told the Post.
“I like to joke that I’m 5-foot-21. When people ask if I play basketball, I ask them if they play miniature golf.”
Today, Tom is 35-years-old. He’s a former military man who lives with is 6-foot tall wife and their Great Dane.
He’s more than learned to live with the fact he’s bigger than virtually everyone else. In fact, he takes it in his massive stride. These days, Tom is 6 feet 9 inches tall.

It can’t be easy to quite literally be born into the limelight, nor to grow up with people pointing at you and asking questions the majority of the time. That said, Kevin seems to be handling it just fine … we wish him all the best moving forward!

Age Doesn’t Matter When It Comes To Love: 31-Year-Old Guy And 91-Year-Old Lady Share The Story Of Their Family Happiness!
In a society where love is frequently stifled by social conventions, meet Kyle Jones and Marjorie McCool—a couple who have deftly avoided the rules. Kyle, 31, and Marjorie, 91, have a striking 60-year age difference, which puts them in a unique position to defy the notion that love is determined by age.
Their exceptional friendship has caught the attention of the globe, and the media has not wasted any time in capturing the spirit of this special romance. The couple just had an honest conversation in which Marjorie talked candidly about the personal aspects of their relationship. Kyle was just as honest when he said that his love for Marjorie has nothing to do with money gain.
Their endearing tale started in 2009 under the luminously mundane lights of a neighborhood bookshop. Just looking through books, Marjorie—whose romantic history includes a 37-year split from her husband—was introduced to Kyle. She removed any uncertainty about Kyle’s intentions by being open about the fact that she had neither inherited money nor saved a sizable sum of money. Take note, critics: love, not money, is the driving force behind this love tale.
But my, how the plot deepens! In addition, Kyle has romantic ties to a number of older ladies. It would seem that jealousy would poison this delicate stream, but Marjorie is a serene beacon. Even though she experienced some initial jealousy, she is still Kyle’s top priority. She remains his first love because he always returns to her.
The chemistry between Marjorie and Kyle appears to defy biology and reason. When Marjorie talks about how physically they match, she beams. She makes a conscious effort to make sure she never loses her sensual attraction to Kyle, demonstrating that having romantic appeal at any age is just a number. She asks us to consider the dynamic, even ethereal aspect that allows their connection to glide between social waves through her candid admissions.
