Partner (Verne Troyer) & Kids
Although the actress is known to have been married to one man, rumors have it that she was first married to Kevin O’Bannon, a claim that seems to hold no water as the parties involved have never confirmed it. The speculations also suggested that Powell and O’Bannon went through a divorce to officially end their union but this has not been ascertained also. Nonetheless, the two share a son named Tyson O’Bannon.
Aside from the rumored affair she had with Kevin O’Bannon, Brittney Powell was publicly involved with Verne Troyer. Their romance went public in 2007 and they remained partners until Troyer died in April 2018. The two lived together like a family, complete with her son.
Troyer was an American actor, comedian, stunt performer, and one of the shortest men to walk the earth – at 2 ft 8 in (81 cm) in height. His miniature statue is a result of a genetic disorder called cartilage-hair hypoplasia. He is mostly remembered for appearing as Mini-Me in the Austin Powers film series. He was allegedly married to model Genevieve Gallen but they went their separate ways after a day. He was 49 at the time of his death on April 21, 2018. After a severe investigation, the coroner ruled his death as a suicide. He also had an alarming amount of alcohol in his system at the time of his death.
Brittney Powell Height
At 5ft 7in, Powell may not be the atypical tall lady but she definitely towers above her late partner Troyer who only managed a few inches above 2ft. Her body weight is recorded as 122 lbs (54 kg) which means she is in great shape.
