Don Johnson, 75, attended the YES Scholars 25th Anniversary Gala in Los Angeles on Thursday with his wife Kelley Phleger, 56, drawing attention for the couple's height difference.
Johnson, best known for his roles in Nash Bridges and Miami Vice, wore a black suit with a black shirt and loafers. Phleger wore a leopard-print cap-sleeved dress and carried a red Hermes purse; her high heels contributed to her noticeably taller appearance beside her husband. Johnson's height is listed as 5 feet 11 inches.
The gala drew other high-profile attendees, including Jennifer Lopez and Kris Jenner. Johnson and Phleger, who have been married for 26 years, were photographed together as they arrived and during the event. Johnson has maintained a public profile across film and television for decades and continues to make occasional public appearances.
Johnson has a large blended family. He and ex-wife Melanie Griffith share two children, and he has daughters and sons from other relationships; his daughter Dakota Johnson is a well-known actress. Last year Johnson posted a rare family photograph on Instagram showing himself with all six of his children, sharing the image with his roughly 274,000 followers on Father's Day.
The YES Scholars gala celebrated the nonprofit's work supporting students in Los Angeles. Johnson's attendance contributed to a roster of celebrity guests who have for years participated in fundraising and awareness events for education-focused charities in the city. The couple's appearance provided a notable visual moment at the gala because of their apparent height difference and longstanding marriage.
