![In 1977, Nair met her first husband, photographer Mitch Epstein, when taking photography classes at Harvard University.[6] He was her lecturer, and they married in 1981 in India, in a traditional Punjabi wedding, despite Epstein being "a Jewish boy from Holyoke, Massachusetts". They were together for 12 years, of which they were married for 8. They divorced around 1989.[14]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:udkeglufzqimtbvt4q4vddch/bafkreieyfgdrvsi5ggy2mo6sg3gpq4psyv7o33emwn7ssky6ziogkigmfq@jpeg)

Wait, taller or shorter? I peg him at about 5'10", which admittedly seems taller than my gut tells me (some sources say 5'8").
Here, Ramy Youssef, who is 5'9", is slouching but he'd probably be a tad shorter than Mamdani. Their shoes probably give the same lift. Khalil is a shrimp.
