When it comes to fiancé Wladimir Klitschko, Hayden Panettiere is well aware of the couple's massive difference in height.

"He's huge," the 5-foot beauty said of her 6-foot-6-inch beau during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday, Nov. 27 after the talk show host congratulated her on her recent engagement.

"He's huge," Ellen DeGeneres repeated. "He's Ukrainian?"

"Yes, he is," Hayden said, adding that she's known her boxer beau for five years while gushing that he's a "good dude."

While it's unclear exactly when Klitschko popped the question, the Nashville star confirmed the pair's engagement on Live With Kelly and Michael last month, flashing her 6-carat, emerald cut sparkler.

And Hayden hilariously admitted to Ellen that the duo's height difference is originally what brought the couple together.

"I mean, I know that I'm small, but he's large. That's how we met," she revealed. "I said, 'You're huge.' He said, 'You're tiny.'" 

"And that was it," Ellen replied. 

"And that was it," Hayden confessed.

It seems that the pair, who are planning to say "I Do" around the holidays, already have babies on the brain, and, according to Hayden, their height difference just may be the perfect balance.

"That's God telling us were too far on either side of the spectrum. He needs to make normal people," she told Ellen. "He's got bowlegs, I've got knocked knee—they're going to have straight legs. They'll be normal height." 

As for the wedding planning?

"Um, he's very confused about our traditions," she confessed. "I don't think he really knows. I mean honeymoons, 'What's what is this honeymoon?' I said, 'It's when you go on a vacation afterwards' or 'You can't see the bride in her dress before'…'Why? Why not, it's dress.' That's just the way things go. He just doesn't know the woman's side of the family is supposed to pay for the wedding. Shh." 

Too cute. Congrats on the engagement, you two!
