Kevin Hart’s Son Towers Over Him: The Height Difference That Shocked Fans

When it comes to comedy, Kevin Hart stands tall—but when standing next to his son Hendrix, the height difference tells a completely different story. The father-son duo has become an internet fascination after recent appearances showed just how dramatically Hendrix has outgrown his famous father.

During February’s Super Bowl festivities in New Orleans, the Hart family proudly sported their Philadelphia Eagles gear, showing united support for Kevin’s hometown team. But eagle-eyed fans couldn’t help but notice something that had nothing to do with football—17-year-old Hendrix Hart now completely towers over his comedy superstar dad.

When Did Hendrix Outgrow His Famous Father?

Surprisingly, the milestone happened much earlier than most fans realize. Back in 2020, Kevin made the hilarious announcement on Instagram that marked a turning point in their father-son photos.

“From this point on, all pictures with my son will be taken sitting down… The little shit officially got taller than me,” the comedian joked in his post. At the time, Hendrix had just turned 13, making his height advantage even more remarkable.

This candid admission showcased Kevin’s trademark self-deprecating humor about his 5’4″ stature—a topic he’s never shied away from in his stand-up comedy routines.

How Tall Is Hendrix Hart Now?

While Kevin has never officially disclosed his son’s exact height, recent public appearances give us plenty of visual evidence to make an educated estimate.

At the 25th Annual Mark Twain Prize For American Humor in March 2024, the entire Hart family posed for photos that provided telling clues. Standing next to his stepmother Eniko Hart (who’s approximately 5’6″ and was wearing heels), Hendrix noticeably towered over her.

Based on these comparisons and other recent family photos, Hendrix Hart appears to stand around 5’10”—making him a full six inches taller than his father and approximately ten inches taller than his mother, Torrei Hart.

Height Differences Throughout the Hart Family

The height genes seem to have played out differently among Kevin’s four children. While Hendrix clearly inherited some tall genes from somewhere in his family tree, his older sister Heaven Hart appears to have taken after her parents’ shorter stature.

Kevin’s younger children with current wife Eniko—Kenzo (6) and Kaori (3)—are still growing, but fans are already speculating whether they’ll follow in their big brother’s footsteps or take after their dad’s more compact frame.

This genetic lottery showcases how height differences in celebrity families often become points of fascination for fans, especially when a child towers over their famous parent.

The Hart Family Dynamic

Despite their significant height difference, Kevin and Hendrix maintain a close relationship that’s evident in their public appearances together. The 17-year-old lives a relatively private life compared to his mega-famous father, but does occasionally appear on Kevin’s social media and at family events.

Kevin shares Hendrix and Heaven with ex-wife Torrei Hart, to whom he was married from 2003 to 2011. His younger children, Kenzo and Kaori, are from his current marriage to Eniko Hart, which began in 2016.

• • Heaven Hart (19) – Kevin’s oldest child with ex-wife Torrei

• • Hendrix Hart (17) – Now stands approximately 5’10”

• • Kenzo Hart (6) – Kevin’s first child with current wife Eniko
  • Kaori Hart (3) – The youngest member of the Hart family

Kevin’s Trademark Humor About His Height

True to his comedic nature, Kevin has embraced the growing height difference between himself and his son with characteristic humor. Rather than being sensitive about the topic, he’s incorporated it into his public persona, often joking about the situation in interviews and social media posts.

“I told him he’s not allowed to play basketball,” Hart joked in a recent interview. “That height was supposed to be mine. He stole it in the womb somehow, and I want it back.”

This ability to laugh at himself has always been part of Kevin’s appeal as a comedian and continues to endear him to fans even as his son literally outgrows him.

As Hendrix continues to mature and potentially grow even taller, fans can undoubtedly expect more hilarious commentary from his father—likely delivered while sitting down for photos, as promised.
