LGBT Couples Who Can Serve an Inspiration for Everyone

Jodie Foster & Alexandra Hedison

There’s certainly no question that Jodie Foster is one of the most talented actresses that Hollywood has ever seen. Foster is even regarded as one of the most talented actresses of her generation, and she has all the acting accolades to prove it. She’s also appeared in several Hollywood blockbusters throughout her career, and she’s easily one of the greatest actresses of all time. Outside of her career filled with awards and film credits, there’s not much information about her as she’s never been public about her personal life.

It certainly surprised her fans to know that she was in a relationship with another woman. That woman was Alexandra Hedison, and Foster took a discreet approach when it came to their relationship for most of her career. Interestingly, Hedison is also an actress, and she’s also a talented artist and director. They formally tied the knot in 2014, and they’ve made more public appearances recently.

Ricky Martin & Jwan Yosef

Ricky Martin is an icon of Latin music who is regarded as the King of Latin Pop and the Latin Music King, and he is famous for his songs like The Cup of Life, Livin’ la Vida Loca, and She Bangs. He is often given credit for popularizing Latin music globally during the ‘90s. Outside of his career, Martin has been known for his relationship with painter Jwan Yosef. They started dating back in April of 2016. Previously, Martin has been known for his relationships with several women over the years. By November of 2016, Martin and Yosef announced their engagement on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, and by January 2018, they tied the knot.

Since their marriage, the two have welcomed a daughter named Lucia, who was born on New Year’s Eve of 2018, and a son named Renn, who was born on October 29 of 2019.  From his previous relationships, Martin fathers two children. The two have been quite public and open about their love for one another, as evidenced by their posts on their social media accounts.

Sarah Paulson & Holland Taylor

Their love tale is definitely one for the books. Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor met at a dinner party in 2005, but it took them more than a decade to start dating. Fans began characterizing the duo as “iconic” as soon as suspicions of their connection arose. They now have become a milestone example of LGBTQ+ romance in Hollywood, five years after they became an item in 2015 — supposedly after Holland sneaked into Paulson’s Twitter DMs.

The stars allegedly met at a dinner gathering. Nothing romantic happened because they were both in stable relationships at the time, but it seemed that sparks flew. Paulson commented on the incident, stating Taylor was “perhaps the most stunningly gorgeous lady” she had ever seen. Taylor said she was dating a younger lady than her in November 2015, but she did not identify Paulson. But then, Taylor uploaded a photo of Paulson in a ballgown during a wardrobe fitting later that month. Sarah is happy to be living her life now and credits her partner for her happiness.

Ellen DeGeneres & Portia De Rossi

Ellen DeGeneres has been an icon in Hollywood for years. Her long-time relationship with Portia de Rossi is a big part of her public image. The couple met in 2000. However, they only started to be romantically involved in late 2004. At the time, they were romantically involved with different people. Despite their respective relationships at the time, this did not deter their love for one another. Indeed, DeGeneres said that De Rossi “took her breath away” when they met for the first time.

Four years later, in August 2008, they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at their home in Beverly Hills, which was attended by only 19 people. While their marriage was questioned due to California’s marriage laws at the time, the issue was put to rest when a judge ruled their marriage legal. Happily, their lawyers didn’t have to address the issue. Today, DeGeneres and De Rossi remain quite happy together.

Jillian Michaels & Heidi Rhoades

There’s certainly no question that Jillian Michaels is one of the most famous personal trainers in the world today. Besides fitness, Michaels is also a well-known television personality, author, and successful businesswoman! She’s probably best known for her television credit in The Biggest Loser, and she’s been able to appear in other television shows such as Spike and Just Jillian. Besides being a famous celebrity, Jillian is also a proud member of the LGBT community.

Jillian was once married to Heidi Rhoades, and fans caught glimpses of their romance in the reality television show Just Jillian. Their adorable love and romance were one of the main highlights of the hit E! reality television show, and there’s no question that their separation surprised many fans back in 2018. Today, Jillian is in a relationship with another woman, and they’re about to enter their third year as a couple together.

Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka

Neil Patrick Harris is most notable for his comedy roles on television series as well as dramatic and musical stage plays, like Doogie Howser, M.D., A Series of Unfortunate Events, and How I Met Your Mother, in which he was nominated four times for Emmy Awards. He’s also known for his role in the musical Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, as well as the fictional version of himself in the Harold & Kumar film series. Harris’ other films include Starship Troopers, Beastly, The Smurfs, Gone Girl, and many others. In 2014, he starred in the Broadway production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, for which he received a Tony Award—credit to his acting prowess.

That same year, Harris announced on his Twitter page that he and David Burtka got married over the weekend in Italy. His husband is a renowned professional chef and actor, known for his roles in theatre and television shows like The Play About the Baby and How I met Your Mother. He debuted in television back in 2002 with a guest appearance on The West Wing, and this was followed by guest roles on Crossing Jordan. 

Wanda Sykes & Alex Sykes

Wanda Sykes has been one of the most recognizable comedians around. Regarded by many as one of the funniest comedians in America, she is known for her roles on Curb Your Enthusiasm, Black-ish, The Other Two, and The Good Two. Outside of her career, she has been known for her longtime association with her partner Alex Niedbalski. They first met back in 2006 on a ferry ride to Fire Island in New York. At the time, Sykes was still hiding her being gay. It changed in November of 2008 when Sykes publicly came out. A month prior to that, the couple finally tied the knot, with the couple settling for Sykes’ surname.

Since then, the two have welcomed two children into their family, a boy and a girl born as twins. They tend to often share their love for one another through their social media accounts. It seems that the two have made an investment to keep their relationship quite strong.

Elton John & David Furnish

The relationship between British music legend Elton John and Canadian filmmaker David Furnish is filled with endurance and perseverance. They have been together since 1993. Their love eventually evolved into a civil partnership in December 2005. While their love for each other was certainly clear, they were unable to be legally married, since British law at the time prevented the union of same-sex couples. This all changed in 2014 when they finally tied the knot shortly after gay marriage was legalized throughout the United Kingdom.

Since then, John and Furnish became parents to two children who were born via surrogacy. Despite their busy schedule, they always allocated time for their kids to ensure that they’d be able to live a normal life, away from the cameras. In addition, they have devoted a part of their time and investment money to charity.

Lance Bass & Michael Turchin

Lance Bass is famous for being a member of the band NYSNC. He rose to international stardom as the singer of the famous boy band. His success led to television and film projects, such as the 2001 film On the Line, which was produced by his company, Bacon & Eggs—great investment planning. Besides his career in the entertainment industry, Bass was also certified by NASA and the Russian Space Program following his several months of cosmonaut training. He was set to join the TMA-1 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) but lost the seat after his financial sponsors backed out.

In 2013, Bass got engaged to Michael Turchin and the couple got married the following year. His husband is a notable painter and actor who produced several pop art-style portraits and appeared in independent films such as First Period and White Dwarf. He trained at Stella Adler Studio of Acting in Los Angeles after he earned his bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University.

Kristen Stewart & Stella Maxwell

Well known for her role in the vampire film series, The Twilight Saga, Kristen Stewart gained recognition at the young age of 12 for her role in the thriller film, Panic Room, where she portrayed the daughter of Jodie Foster’s character. For her performance in the movie, Stewart earned credit and was nominated for the Young Artist Award. Subsequent movies of the actress include Speak, Catch That Kid, Zathura: A Space Adventure, and Into the Wild. The actress also took on roles in independent films like Camp X-Ray, Equals, and Still Alice.

Stewart has had several relationships in the past, most notably with Robert Pattinson. Years after their estrangement, the actress had a relationship with Stella Maxwell from 2016 to 2018. The latter is a Belgian-born Irish-New Zealand model who’s best known for her work as a Victoria’s Secret Angel and as an active member of the LGBT community. Maxwell is also the face of the cosmetic brand Max Factor.

Kendrell Bowman &. Anthony Wayne

Kendrell Bowman moved to New York City when he was 18 and lived there following his graduation from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. Eventually, he became a theatrical producer and director of highly acclaimed off-Broadway shows such as A Soulful Christmas, An Evening with Phyllis Hyman, and Mighty Real: A Fabulous Sylvester Musical. Apart from his theatrical career, Bowman also made a few business investments, like in the styling company I AM KENDRELL, among others.

Bowman has, for some time now, been in a relationship with Anthony Wayne, who starred in Broadway shows such as Once On This Land, Anything Goes, Pippin, and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Wayne has touring credits in shows such as The Color Purple, A Chorus Line, and Fame-The Musical. Recently, he finished the Broadway run of Tootsie – The Musical. Wayne is currently working on bringing his show Mighty Real: A Fabulous Sylvester Musical to Broadway.

Cynthia Nixon & Christine Marinoni

Fans of the show Sex and the City know about Cynthia Nixon. After all, she played Miranda Hobbes, the career-minded and cynical friend of Carrie Bradshaw. Outside her career, Nixon has been known for her longtime relationship with activist Christine Marinoni. They first met back in 2001 when both were campaigning for an education non-profit. However, they only became romantically involved some three years later. They got engaged in 2009 but only tied the knot in 2012, which was a year after gay marriage was legalized in their home state of New York.

While each of them already wields considerable influence, the union between Nixon and Marinoni made them one of New York’s most influential couples. Their shared interest in advancing social justice and progress in their home state has been noted by many. They have been given credit for promoting LGBT rights throughout New York City. Together, they have a son, with Nixon having two more children from her previous relationship with Danny Mozes.

Ellen Page & Samantha Thomas

When actor Elliot Page was still known as Ellen back in 2014, she became the talk of the town after she publicly came out as gay during a Human Rights Campaign conference in Las Vegas. Shortly after, in 2015, she started dating Samantha Thomas, who is an artist. Their relationship immediately blossomed well. Both of them have taken an interest in each other’s careers, and they became each other’s biggest fans. Page continually supported Thomas’s art career and Thomas supported Page in her endeavors.

Despite the idyllic relationship they had, it came to a stop in 2017, much to the disappointment of their fans. That year was the last time Thomas and Page were photographed together as a couple. Shortly after that, they called it quits. Despite their relationship ending, they have, to their credit, inspired many people, thanks to their well-publicized outings and activities.

Tom Ford & Richard Buckley

Tom Ford has been a familiar face in the world of fashion and film. After all, he is the founder of his own fashion brand, having founded it in 2005. In addition, he has written and directed award-winning films, such as Nocturnal Animals and A Single Man. Outside of his career, he has been closely associated with fashion writer Richard Buckley for 35 years. Their relationship began decades ago, back in 1986. At the time, Ford met Buckley when he was sent to Women’s Wear Daily. Immediately, Ford took a liking to Buckley and immediately hit off. Just a month into their relationship, they moved in together.

Their whirlwind romance certainly lasted for a very long time, despite challenges faced by the two throughout their lives. Outside of their fashion careers, the two have shared interests in many things, including taking care of smooth fox terriers. Throughout their long relationship, they had many investments in real estate all over the world. However, such longevity came to an end in September of 2021 when Buckley passed away.

Michael Kors & Lance Lepere

Michael Kors is the honorary chairman as well as chief creative officer of his self-titled fashion company that sells both men and women’s accessories and apparel. His company was the first designer of the French fashion house, Celine, from 1997 to 2003 for women’s ready-to-wear apparel. Kors’ affinity to fashion started at an early age, even redesigning his mother’s wedding dress when he was just 5 years old. He started designing clothes and sold them out of his parent’s basement back in his teenage years. Kors studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology back in 1977 in New York City.

On August 16, 2011, Kors married his life partner, Lance LePere, an American fashion designer. He started as an intern at the Paris office of Michael Kors Holdings Limited and is now the creative director of women’s design. Apart from their professions, the couple also supports charitable organizations, donating $750,000 to the Memorial Hospital in honor of LePere’s parents—credit to their compassion.

RuPaul & Georges LeBar

RuPaul is famous thanks to his hit show, RuPaul’s Drag Race, which is a contest show that features contestants vying to become “America’s next drag superstar.” This eventually spawned off more series related to the original and made RuPaul a household name. Outside of his career, he has been notorious for keeping much of his personal life private, especially his relationship with Georges LeBar, who is a rancher from Australia. RuPaul first met him back in 1994 at a New York nightclub during LeBar’s birthday. They immediately took a liking to each other and started dating.

It took them more than two decades before finally tying the knot in secret in 2017. Such union was made so secretive that many of RuPaul’s devoted fans were quite surprised at the news. Since then, the couple has been focused on managing their home and their 60,000-acre ranch in Wyoming, which acts as a big investment for both.

Cheyenne Jackson & Jason Landau

For those who are fans of Glee and American Horror Story, Cheyenne Jackson has certainly wowed many of them. Aside from that, he has been well-known for his eight-year relationship with Jason Landau. Like Jackson, Landau has worked as an actor and has a modest list of acting credits over the years. They first met back in 2013, shortly after Jackson called it quits with his then-husband, Monte Lapka. Just a few months later in February of 2014, they announced their engagement. In September of that year, they tied the knot in an interfaith ceremony held at their friend’s property in California.

Since then, the couple has welcomed twins, a boy and a girl, into their family. Their kids were born in October of 2016. Based on the couple’s social media posts, it seems that they have been heavily preoccupied with raising their kids, who grew up naturally and well.

Ryan Murphy & David Miller

Ryan Murphy is legendary in Hollywood for his vast contributions to television. He is often given much credit for creating some of the best TV shows in recent years, such as American Crime Story, Glee, and American Horror Story. Outside of his career, he has been long associated romantically with David Miller, a Los Angeles-based freelance photographer. They first met back in 1996 at a Los Angeles restaurant. Initially, they started out as friends and remained as such for nearly 15 years.

In 2010, they upgraded their relationship to a romantic one when they first started dating. Two years into their relationship, they finally tied the knot on the fourth of July in a private wedding. Since then, the two have added three kids into their family, with the latest welcomed by them in August 2020. While both have managed to keep a low profile online, it is apparent that they just have peaceful and happy private lives.

Kate McKinnon & Jackie Abbott

Kate McKinnon is best known for her characters and celebrity impressions on the shows The Big Gay Sketch Show and Saturday Night Live. She has appeared in several films over the years, such as Ghostbusters, Balls Out, The Spy Who Dumped me, Office Christmas Party, Rought Night, and many more. McKinnon has been nominated nine times for a Primetime Emmy Award, winning two in 2016 and 2017. On television, the actress starred in The Back Room, Toy Story of Terror!, The Awesomes, Sesame Street, Friends from College, and others.

At the 2020 Golden Globe Awards, McKinnon opened up about her sexual orientation while presenting Ellen DeGeneres with the Carol Burnett Award. The actress is in a relationship with Jackie Abbott, an actor, and artist in New York City. She gained prominence for starring in short movies, such as The Green Forgotten, The Serpent Woman, and Old Names for Sunflower. Today, their relationship is going strong, credit to their love for each other.

Luke Evans & Jon Kortajarena

Luke Evans is a Welsh actor and singer who started his career on the stages of London, performing West End productions such as Miss Saigon, Piaf, and Rent before making his breakout film in Clash of the Titans in 2010. He was cast in actions films like The Raven, Immortals, and the re-imagined The Three Musketeers, following his film debut. Moreover, Evans starred as the antagonist Owen Shaw in the 2013 blockbuster movie Fast & Furious 6 and also played in the three-part adaptation of The Hobbit, where he portrayed the character of Bard the Brownman.

In the past, Evans had been in a relationship with Jon Kortajarena, a Spanish actor and model. However, as of late, the couple reportedly went on their separate lives. The latter has landed advertising campaigns for Giorgio Armani, Versace, Just Cavalli, Trussardi, Diesel, Guess, Zara, H&M, and others—he won’t be needing cash loans anytime soon.

Raven Symoné & AzMarie Livingston

While many were quite hopeful that the relationship between actress Raven Symoné and model AzMarie Livingston might have gone on for longer, it seems that it was not the case. They first started dating back in 2012, and before that, the two were very close friends. Despite the nature of their relationship, Symoné has denied rumors about her orientation, which kept many guessing for years. Regardless, she expressed optimism when same-sex marriages were legalized back in 2013, which opened up hints about Symoné’s orientation. Throughout their relationship, the two have been shown together attending numerous public events, often looking sleek. This is in spite of the reluctance of the couple to divulge details about their relationship.

Their relationship started to crack in 2015, and eventually, they called it quits. Despite their relationship ending, it seems that there is no bad blood between the two of them, as noted by Livingston’s positive comment about her ex. To their credit, it seems that their privacy might have helped immensely in keeping their attitudes towards each other cordial.

Johnny Weir & Victor Voronov

Johnny Weir is a well-decorated American figure skater and a two-time Olympian. In addition to his accolades, Weir also won the 2008 World bronze medal, and he was also a three-time U.S. National champion. He’s also known for his costume choices that have drawn criticism in the world of Figure Skating. He also made headlines when he married Victor Voronov back in 2012. They certainly looked happy at first, but they eventually called it quits and went their separate ways in 2015.

It’s certainly unfortunate that Weir’s marriage to Voronov only lasted four years, and that it needed an intervention from a lawyer. We certainly would have wanted to see them grow old together. However, it certainly looked like they were destined to go their separate ways as they weren’t happy with each other’s company anymore. The two had a very public and controversial divorce.

Rufus Wainwright & Jorn Weisbrodt

Singer Rufus Wainwright and artist Jorn Weisbrodt are already quite well-known on their own. Their union for nearly a decade now made them one of the most prominent couples in Canada, particularly in its largest city, Toronto. While the first meeting between Weisbrodt and Wainwright cannot be determined, it is certain that by 2010, they had already been together for quite some time. In that same year, they announced that they got engaged. A year later, they welcomed their first child, a daughter who was conceived through surrogacy.

In 2012, they tied the knot in a private ceremony in Montauk, New York, with 250 high-profile guests in attendance, including Carrie Fisher, Yoko Ono, and Julianne Moore. Since then, the couple lived in Toronto, where they often make headways in the city’s art and music scene. Meanwhile, they made an investment for their daughter in terms of her welfare as part of a parenting partnership with their friend Lorca Cohen, who was the one who conceived their child.

Jane Lynch and Lara Embry

One could argue that Jane Lynch was one of the most recognizable television actresses during the 2010s. Lynch is probably best known for playing “Sue Sylvester” in the hit Fox musical comedy show Glee. Besides a stellar television career, Lynch was also able to appear in several films. Moreover, she also received numerous accolades as an actress, including multiple Primetime Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award.

Lynch has unquestionably solidified her name as one of the iconic actresses in Hollywood. Off the set, she was once married to Lara Embry. Embry is a clinical psychologist based in Sunderland, Massachusetts. Embry was often seen together with Lynch in various awards shows, and it seemed that the adorable couple had a picture-perfect marriage. However, lawyers eventually intervened between Lynch and Embry’s marriage, and they went on their separate ways four years after in 2014.

Cat Cora & Jennifer Cora

The former power couple, Cat Cora and Jennifer Cora have had their separation finalized by the courts via their lawyers. Before this, they enjoyed being married to each other for 17 years. As the saying goes, however, all good things must come to an end, including their well-publicized marriage. Cat, the celebrity chef, who won the hearts of audiences on Iron Chef, is now happily married to record executive Nicole Ehrlich.

During their marriage, the two decided to have children through IVF. In an interview, Cat revealed that she was implanted with Jennifer’s egg. In turn, she gave one of hers to her then-wife. They also had to undergo the process of legal adoption of each other’s kids. There were accusations, however, of issues in the marriage, hence they decidedly ended it in 2016. We just hope that all is well for the two of them and their kids.

Sam Smith & Brandon Flynn

Despite their relationship not lasting for long, the relationship between singer Sam Smith and actor Brandon Flynn became the talk of the town over its duration. While Smith is no stranger to relationships, Flynn has been known for his secrecy surrounding his love life. Yet, the relationship between them is the only one known. They began dating back in December of 2017. Immediately, many took a liking to them, seeing their relationship as low-key wholesome, with many making an investment for any developments between the two.

Despite the seemingly great relationship between the two, it seems that things began to fall apart in the middle of 2018. By September of that year, the two decided that it was for the best for them to part ways. Fortunately, their relationship ended on amicable terms. Since then, the two have moved on. Flynn is currently not known to be in any relationship. Meanwhile, Smith is confirmed to be single.

Robin Roberts & Amber Laign

Among the most wholesome same-sex celebrity relationships, Robin Roberts and Amber Laign have endured thick and thin to have a robust and loving relationship. They started their relationship back in 2005 after being set up together by their mutual friends. At the time, Roberts’ lesbian orientation was not yet known to the general public. While they kept their relationship in secret, their love has been quite close. In December 2013, Roberts came out after her friends and co-workers knew about her orientation beforehand.

Since then, Roberts and Laign have never been shy about showing their mutual affection in public. Often, they attend various events like red carpet events and premieres together. Outside of their careers, the couple tends to spend their time together in tranquility. Thanks to Roberts’s work as an anchor for Good Morning America, they have lived separately. However, this does not mean that their love for one another has chipped away. On the contrary, it seems that the couple has made a good investment in keeping their relationship strong.

Samira Wiley & Lauren Morelli

Samira Wiley is an actress who became famous through her roles on The Handmaid’s Tale and Orange Is the New Black. Through her time in Orange Is the New Black, she met her now-spouse, Lauren Morelli. Morelli worked on the series but as a writer. They first met back in 2012 and immediately became acquaintances. A big moment in their relationship was in 2015 when the two went on a vacation in Thailand. While the trip might not be what they expected and may have cost some credit card swiping, it was a glimpse of the romance between the two.

This went on for three years, and in 2016, the two upgraded their relationship to a romantic one. In October of that year, the two announced their engagement. In March of 2017, they tied the knot. Since then, the two have welcomed a child into their family after Morelli gave birth to their daughter in April of 2021.

Chely Wright & Lauren Blitzer

Chely Wright has been a beloved figure in country music. What made her more endearing is the fact that she is one of the first country singers to have openly identified as a lesbian. Her relationship with Lauren Blitzer is a big aspect of her life. Wright and Blitzer first met in 2010, just two weeks after Wright publicly came out. Like Wright, Blitzer has been involved in the music industry as a marketing director for Sony Music. In addition, she is also an activist for the LGBT community and has made investments in causes that affect the community.

A year into their relationship, they tied the knot in a ceremony officiated both by a rabbi and a reverend. Since then, the couple has welcomed twin boys into their family. Despite the trials that the couple has faced in recent years, it seems that they managed to remain strong in their love for one another.

Barry Manilow & Garry Kief

For the longest time, we barely hear about Barry Manilow’s love life as he has kept it hidden. Nowadays, however, he is quite open about it. It is good to know that the celebrated singer came out and revealed information about his husband and manager, Garry Kief. So who is the lucky person who has captured the heart of this “Mandy” singer for 40 years?

Kief and Manilow married in 2014, and as mentioned, he was not only a partner but a business manager as well — and most likely his financial advisor, too. The singer was afraid to come out because it might make him lose fans, and so things were really not smooth sailing for the two. Kief, for his part, had a difficult time adjusting to Manilow’s status as an icon, but with them working together, the two were able to get through the hard parts.

Nate Berkus & Jeremiah Brent

American interior designer Nate Berkus runs the Chicago interior design company Nate Berkus Associates, and he was regularly featured guest on the television program The Oprah Winfrey Show, wherein he offered design advice as well as coordinated surprise makeovers of people’s homes. For his business investment, Berkus released numerous lines of products and authored several books. As a television personality, he hosts his talk show, The Nate Berkus Show, which debuted in broadcast syndication back in September 2010, featuring culture, design, makeovers, and personal advice. The show was co-produced by Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions and Sony Pictures.

On the other hand, Berkus got engaged to Jeremiah Brent, a fellow interior designer, following their one-year dating and got married in 2013. His husband is also an actor and producer, known for The Ode, The Rachel Zoe Project, Nate & Jeremiah by Design, and Home Made Simple.  In 2020, Brent began starring on Netflix’s reality show, Say I Do, as a design expert. It’s a wedding version of the hit show Queer Eye. 

David Hyde Pierce & Brian Hargrove

David Hyde Pierce has been one of the most beloved personalities in television, known for his role as Dr. Niles Crane on Frasier, a role which, to a huge degree, made him famous. Outside of his career, he has been known for his relationship with Brian Hargrove. The couple has been together since the 1980s, although they kept their relationship a secret. That secrecy continued until 2007 when speculation about him prompted him to come out as gay through his publicist. A year later, they tied the knot, just days before a proposition in their home state of California banned same-sex marriages.

Since then, the couple has lived quite happily and supportive of one another. Indeed, Pierce, in 2008, dedicated his Tony Award for Curtains to his partner, who reportedly supported Pierce for decades. They’ve been living a somewhat quiet life, so not much is known about them apart from what they share on social media.

Alan Cummings & Grant Shaffer

Grant Shaffer is an artist, illustrator, and graphics designer by his own merits. However, he is also known as the husband of The Old Vic actor, Alan Cummings. His husband has been awarded numerous times for various projects like Spy Kids and X2. In recent years, Schaffer has focused his efforts on the print industry, making the necessary investments in the field of publications like The New Yorker and The New York Times.

It is interesting to note that the two eventually hit it off and got married in 2012. Cummings, for his part, had been leading quite the life of contractions, with roles like the Emcee of the Cabaret on Broadway. He also was in a relationship with actresses Hilary Lyon and Saffron Burrows before marrying Shaffer first in London in 2007 and then again in New York in 2012. We do give him credit for finding true love in their marriage twice.

Matt Dallas & Blue Hamilton

Best known for playing the titular character in the television series Kyle XY, Matt Dallas became interested in acting at the early age of 12 years old after her grandmother brought him to the play The Ugly Duckling at a local theater. He starred in several films, including Camp Slaughter, Living The Dream, and Babysitter Wanted. Other than doing film and television shows, Dallas also appeared in a number of music videos of popular artists, like Katy Perry’s Thinking of You and James Blunt’s Goodbye My Lover. 

On July 5, 2015, Dallas got married to musician Blue Hamilton, his partner of five years. The latter is a Grammy Award-nominated American record producer and most notable for his work with Plumbline Music Group. He has also worked on the production of a song written by Diane Warren for Justin Bieber, Born To Be Somebody, and he earned production credits for the film Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. 

Brittney Griner & Glory Johnson

It is always not a pleasant experience to get attorneys involved in matters involving custody. Unfortunately, this was the case with Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson, who had since moved on from their 28-day marriage. This was not always the case between the two. There was a time when people expected them to be the best couple ever — but something did not click between the two.

Many were surprised when Johnson revealed that she had never dated a woman before and that she did not consider herself a lesbian, but she did fall in love with Griner as an individual. During the tumultuous part of their relationship, the two of them did try to work it out, settling arguments as early as they could. Shortly after announcing their pregnancy, however, Griner filed for an annulment. We just hope that they settle the custody issue amicably.

Rosie O’Donnell & Michelle Rounds

Rosie O’Donnell has been one of the most recognizable names in Hollywood thanks to her comedic career and quite fiery statements made over the years on various topics and issues. Outside of her career and public life, O’Donnell was known for her numerous relationships over the years. Her latest was with Michelle Rounds, who was a consultant, whom she dated back in the middle of 2011. By December of that year, she announced their engagement through her talk show. They eventually tied the knot on June 9, 2012, in a private ceremony in New York.

Over the course of their relationship, the two adopted a baby girl named Dakota. Despite their apparent closeness to one another, their relationship cracked and fell apart by 2015. That year, a heated legal battle between the two led to them and their lawyers battling for custody of their child. Eventually, O’Donnell won custody over Dakota, and the settlement was finalized in October of the same year.

Matt Bomer & Simon Halls

Melissa Etheridge & Linda Wallem

Melissa Etheridge made her self-titled debut album back in 1988 and became an underground success, which peaked on the Billboard 200 chart, peaking at number 22 spot with its lead single Bring Me Some Water. She consequently earned her first Grammy Award nomination, eventually winning one for her single Ain’t It Heavy from her third album, Never Enough. Later on, Etheridge released her mainstream breakthrough album, Yes I Am, with singles Come to My Window and I’m the Only One reaching the top 30 spot in the United States—great career investment planning. The music artist is known for her music that has a mixture of raspy, smoky vocals and confessional lyrics.

The musician married her life partner, Linda Wallem, on May 31, 2014, in San Ysidro Ranch in California. Her wife is an actress who started her career at Brave New Workshop of Dudley Riggs in Minnesota and formed the double act Wallem & Tolan with writer Peter Tolan. In addition, the duo began performing on the cabaret circuit of New York City.

Adam Lambert & Sauli Koskinen

So these two are no longer together, but Adam Lambert and Sauli Koskinen had excellent chemistry when they were still a couple. At one point, they even got entangled with the law together, which, of course, is far from being a good thing, but they luckily had their lawyers to sort everything out. The American Idol singer has not had a long-term relationship for a while, but he was partners with Koskinen from 2011 to 2013.

What is there not to like about the chiseled Finnish entertainer, right? Now, some were actually curious why the two have split. There are rumors that their busy schedules got in the way of the relationship. We know how time can really be a determining factor in a partnership. The two of them being constantly being the talk of the town was also a factor. What is good is that despite their separation, they are still friends.

Tom Daley & Dustin Lance Black

Many know Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black due to their successful careers. Daley is quite well-known for being a diver, which was noted when he participated back in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and won the hearts of many with his skills in knitting. Meanwhile, Black is known for his work on award-winning films such as Milk, 8, and Big Love. Aside from those, the couple has been happily married for four years now. They first began their relationship back in 2013. One thing immediately apparent was the 20-year age gap between the two. Despite the wide gap, the two soldiered on.

Two years into their relationship, they announced their engagement. In 2017, they tied the knot at Bovey Castle in Devon. Since then, the two have lived in London. They added a new member into their family in 2018 when their first child was conceived through surrogacy. Despite making rounds on the media, it seems that the couple did not spend any cash loans for the procedure.

Abby Wambach & Glennon Doyle

There is no other couple to start off the list than Abby Wambach and Glennon Doyle. The two of them were both famous even before they met each other. When they announced their union in 2017, however, people were impressed for a number of reasons. As a power couple, the two certainly make parenting look easy, and anyone who has been a parent knows the degree of difficulty of handling a child.

If you can imagine it, Wambach is now a bonus or extra mom to Doyle’s three children with Craig Melton. The lovely trio consists of Chase, Tish, and Amma. What feedback do they have for their LGBT parents? Well, these three have nothing but praises for them. Meanwhile, Wambach and Doyle also commended the teachers of Tish, who revealed that she was asked about her preferred pronouns, which was a show of respect. It certainly is good news for the new generation of kids.

Colton Haynes & Jeff Leatham

Despite their falling out in 2019, the love story between Colton Haynes and Jeff Leatham is still very inspiring. Haynes is best known for his roles as Jackson Whittemore in Teen Wolf and as Arsenal in Arrow. Meanwhile, Leatham is a floral designer and entrepreneur with investments in home goods and crystal glassware. While the date of their first meeting cannot be pinpointed, it is certain that by March of 2017, the couple was already engaged. At the time, it was just eight months since Haynes came out as gay. In October of 2017, they tied the knot.

Despite their intense love for each other, they had a falling out in May of 2018, mere months after they tied the knot. They managed to reconcile, only to fall out for good in August of 2019. Despite this, the couple’s love story is still one that could make someone want to fall in love immediately.

Gary Janetti & Brad Goreski

Many fans of the show Fashion Police know Brad Goreski, who is also known as a fashion advisor to several high-profile personalities. Despite his line of work, he’s still managed to keep his personal life under wraps, including his relationship with Gary Janetti. While Goreski is more outward in his career, Janetti mostly works behind the scenes, writing for shows such as Family Guy and The Naked Truth. To Janetti’s credit, he was also an executive producer on Will & Grace.

The couple has been together since 2001. However, it took them 16 years before they finally tied the knot in December of 2017. Despite their long relationship, they seem to have no intention of having children. While they are not working, the couple often bonds with each other over their shared love of reality TV.

Jonathan Adler & Simon Doonan

We certainly can’t get enough of long-term couples, and Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan is one LGBT couple who have been together for a long time. Adler is a well-known potter, author, and interior decorator, while Doonan is known as the Creative Ambassador of the famous New York City-based clothing store, Barneys. This couple had been together for 14 whopping years before they tied the knot in 2008 in the state of California.

You could say that Adler and Doonan already knew each other well before they decided to get married. Their familiarity with each other must be the reason why they’re still going strong to this day. Today, Doonan and Adler are about to enter their 13th year of marriage, and both deserve credit for sustaining a blissful marriage. We certainly hope that they’ve found their happily ever after in each other and that there won’t be any need for any legal intervention in their marriage in the future.

Alec Mapa & Jamison Hebert

There are several things one would admire about this couple. For one, they were able to beat the odds of being discriminated against as an LGBT couple. The two have actually turned to humor to get the stress off of things, which Alec’s family is quite known for. Another desirable trait of the couple is that they are keen on adoption and are avid supporters of that particular act of kindness.

The couple actually adopted a child they named Zion Hebert-Mapa and are very excited to raise him. Their social media accounts are also full of pictures of them as a family, showing to the world just the degree of happiness they all have. As adoptive parents, they believe in the idea of nurturing their child to be the best he or she could be, and so they are trying to provide a very safe environment for their son to make mistakes and learn.

Zachary Quinto & Miles McMillan

The relationship between actor Zachary Quinto and model Miles McMillan was one that might have lasted for a while but did not. They started dating back in the summer of 2013, and immediately, the couple started making plans to move in together. By 2015, they did just that when they moved in together in their apartment in the NoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. Such an investment early on speaks volumes of their love for one another.

In 2017, rumors came about of their impending engagement when Quinto was spotted wearing a silver ring on his left ring finger. Such rumors further added to the notability of the couple over the years. Many regard them as a power couple thanks to their extensive works in film, art, and fashion. Despite the potential for them to last for a long time, it seemed that it was not the case. In 2019, after six years of being together, Quinto and McMillan parted ways amicably.

Jordan Roth & Richie Jackson

One of the prominent names in theatre is Jordan Roth, Tony-winner theatre producer and founder of Vornado Realty Trust, the largest commercial landlord in New York City. He earned his degree in theatre and philosophy from Princeton University and later got his MBA from Columbia Business School. Roth began his career in the Broadway hit show The Rocky Horror Show and eventually established his name in the industry. He now owns a majority stake in Jujamcyn Theaters and oversees five other Broadway theaters.

Meanwhile, Roth’s husband, Richie Jackson, is an award-winning Broadway, film, and television producer who produced the play Torch Song, as well as the television show, Nurse Jackie, both of which were nominated for a Golden Globe and Emmy Award. The couple walked down the aisle with their parents and were escorted by two men onto the stage, held at the Al Hirschfeld Theater, on September 8, 2021.

Ben Whishaw & Mark Bradshaw

It is now rather difficult to find someone who would make the needed investments and support a partner’s career. Ben Whishaw was lucky enough to have Mark Bradshaw, who has been nothing but supportive of his career. He is rather thankful, and this was made evident when he praised Bradshaw during an acceptance speech for his role in A Very English Scandal, where he tagged his husband as the one who keeps him sane and is always there for him.

Bradshaw himself is quite busy making a name for himself. His first significant film, Bright Star, a period drama romance, was a hit. This movie was also where they met, and three years later, in 2012, they were off to a civil union. They then made their low-key relationship public the year after, in 2013. Bradshaw then went on to star in other films like The Daughter and Resistance.

Beth Ditto & Kristin Ogata

Being in a relationship with your best friend can be very fulfilling. When you break up, as was the case with Beth Ditto and Kristin Ogata, it can also be painful. These two had been married from 2013 to 2018, but their romantic wedding in Hawaii ended up with visits to the lawyer’s office soon enough. It was quite heartbreaking considering they waited for same-sex marriage to be legalized in Oregon before they got married there for the second time (the first being in Hawaii).

At one point, during an interview in 2017, Ditto realized that being married to someone who is not white and an LGBT posed a threat due to the political climate at the time. This could have been one reason why they split. Nonetheless, Ditto is happy now and is in a relationship with an openly transgender man, Ted Kwo.

Bill T. Jones & Bjorn Amelan

What happens when two artists fall in love? Well, they create a beautiful life together. Before meeting each other though, Bill T. Jones and Bjorn Amelan were in a relationship with their long-term partners. Amelan is a successful photographer, sculptor, and designer. On the other hand, Jones is a choreographer, director, and dancer. He admitted that falling in love in their 40s was, to some degree, a very different experience than during their teens.

The two also said they were giddy at times, just thinking about each other. Jones had been encouraging Amelan to make things, something that he is good at. He also respects their individual lives as much as their shared time. The two are now living happily in New York, in a home bought in the 1980s. Jones and Amelan are now a regular part of the city’s cultural life.

Cara Delevingne & Annie Clark

You have probably read about these two callings it quits recently. Many LGBT couples were actually saddened when Cara Delevingne and Annie Clark split because they served as an inspiration for many who were struggling. Reports say that they met in 2014 during a St. Vincent tour. Delevingne identified as pansexual, and when she met Clark, she was new to the whole queer thing.

Fans were quick to notice that the couple doesn’t hesitate to display their affection for each other in public. It came as a surprise, then, that the two separated in 2016. Now Clark is in a relationship with Kirsten Stewart, and the two of them made it official in 2017. One possible reason for Clark and Delevingne’s rocky end is the latter’s busy schedule, but we credit the two for at least trying to make things work.

Cherry Jones & Sophie Huber

Aside from her highly successful acting career, Cherry Jones has been known for her openness as a lesbian for decades. Over the years, she has been romantically involved with several people. Currently, she is in a relationship with Sophie Huber. Like Jones, Huber has worked in entertainment as a filmmaker. Huber hails from Switzerland and much of her work credits were had in her home country. They first met in the 2010s when Jones was moving to her new home in Los Angeles. Initially started out as friends, their relationship eventually blossomed into a romance in the succeeding years.

In mid-2015, their romance was upgraded when they tied the knot in a civil ceremony. Today, the couple has lived quite very happily, with both of them enjoying each other’s company all the time. Despite their respective successful careers, they seem to have no plans to collaborate on a project.

Chris Hughes & Sean Eldridge

Among the many LGBT couples over the years, Chris Hughes and Sean Eldridge are perhaps one of the most powerful. Hughes made his name as one of the co-founders of the social media giant Facebook and has made a huge investment in the iconic magazine The New Republic. Meanwhile, Eldridge is a well-known LGBT activist and former congressional candidate. They met in November 2005 and immediately fell in love. They made their first public appearance as a couple in 2009 during the first state dinner of former U.S. President Barack Obama. They got engaged in 2011 and tied the knot a year later.

Given Hughes’s and Eldridge’s respective careers and achievements, their union has created a lot of talk in the town. For a start, they have been one of the most influential LGBT couples around, often making investments and donations to charitable causes that they support. Nowadays, they still continue to be an influential force in the political and social spheres.

Daniel Franzese & Joseph Bradley Phillips

Despite calling off their engagement in 2018, Daniel Franzese and Joseph Bradley Philips have been quite sweet to one another. Franzese is best known for his roles in Bully and Mean Girls. He also received credit for creating several live comedy shows. Meanwhile, Phillips is a well-known stylist. They first met in 2014 at a Starbucks in North Hollywood. Immediately, it was love at first sight and they started dating after. Just seven months into their relationship, they moved in together. Two years later, the couple got engaged. Things had gone smoothly for some time until 2018 when the couple called off their engagement.

Despite the fallout, the couple has managed to create good memories of one another. During their time together, they have been active in helping various charitable causes like GLAAD, Lambda Legal, and LA LGBT Center. This is thanks in large part to Franzese’s LGBT activism, which began in 2014.

Denis O’Hare & Hugo Redwood

Denis O’Hare is an actor who is well-known for his roles on True Blood, American Horror Story, and Sweet Charity. Aside from that, he has been known for his longtime relationship with interior designer Hugo Redwood. Redwood and O’Hare met online back in 2000. Immediately, they hit it off. Despite their love for one another, they couldn’t get married for years because same-sex marriage was not legal at the time. In 2011, their wish was granted when New York legalized same-sex marriages. Just a few days later after the legalization, the couple tied the knot.

Since their marriage, the couple has adopted a son back in 2012. They waited for years to have their own child but could not adopt one because of the nature of their relationship. Nowadays, O’Hare and Redwood have been busy with their respective projects. Even so, they still manage to make time and investment for their only child.

Don Roos & Dan Bucatinsky

Don Roos and Dan Bucatinsky have been quite successful in their careers. Roos became known for directing films such as Happy Endings and Bounce. Meanwhile, Bucatinsky is famous for his role as James Novak in the drama series Scandal. Aside from their successful careers in entertainment, many know Don Roos and Dan Bucatinsky for having one of the longest-lasting relationships out of any LGBT couple. They first met back in 1992 when Roos invited his future husband to the premiere of Love Field. Sixteen years later, the couple tied the knot.

Since their union, Roos and Bucatinsky have further strengthened their love for each other. Outside of their jobs, they have been heavily supportive of LGBT causes in their home state of California and have made investments in various related initiatives within the state. Their efforts were recognized back in 2015 when they were given an award by the Pacific Pride Foundation.

Dot-Marie Jones & Bridgett Casteen

To some degree, Dot Marie Jones is famous for playing Coach Shannon Beiste on Glee, for which she was nominated for an Emmy thrice. In addition, she has been known for her relationship with Bridgett Casteen for more than a decade now. They met in December of 2010 and immediately hit it off. Their relationship went off to a good start.

By 2013, they planned to tie the knot after Jones popped the question to Casteen at Disneyland in Anaheim. They finally did it on October 4, 2013, in a ceremony during Anaheim Gays Day. The ceremony was held at the couple’s home and their friends were invited thinking they were there for a holiday party. To their surprise, they witnessed the union of Jones and Casteen instead. Since then, the couple has lived together quite happily. Jones and Casteen are now living with Casteen’s two children from her previous relationship.

George Takei & Brad Altman

George Takei is a well-known American actor who’s internationally known for his role as “Hikaru Sulu, helmsman of the hit television series Star Trek. Takei has been married to his husband, Brad Altman, for 13 years now, but they’ve been together for 18 years prior to formally tying the knot in 2008. Takei and Altman are the first same-gender couple to apply for a marriage license in the state of California.

Before they got married, Takei and Altman hid their relationship for fear of losing their careers. Eventually, they got married, and more than a decade later, Takei and Altman are still happily married to each other. You could say that they’ve been together forever, and they are going strong to this day. Both Takei and Altman certainly deserve credit for a fruitful and inspiring marriage. We’re certainly hoping that this lovely couple continues to enjoy their lovely marriage over the next few decades.

Heather Matarazzo & Heather Thurman

Heather Matarazzo is a popular American actress, and she’s probably best known for her role in the 2001 film The Princess Diaries and its sequel, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement. Interestingly, Matarazzo has been married to fellow actress Heather Thurman, and we simply can’t get enough of this adorable couple! The two Heathers first met while working on a set together back in 2016, and you could say that they instantly fell for each other.

Thurman and Matarazzo certainly didn’t wait too long to tie the knot, and they were engaged by 2017. However, they kept their engagement a secret between their close friends and families. Eventually, they publicly announced their decision to get married, and fans of both actresses were delighted. It seems like Matarazzo and Thurman are incredibly happy with each other, and one can expect there won’t be any intervention from any lawyers anytime soon.

Crangi and Lyons first sparked rumors of romance back in 2011, two years after Lyons and her husband of nine years broke up. They eventually went public with their relationship during her acceptance speech at the 2012 Glamour Women of the Year Awards. Lyons broke the news to everyone in style as she did it while accepting the Fashion Original honor. Crangi and Lyons were certainly an adorable couple, and they were together for six years until they decided to call it quits. The two eventually split in 2017.

Jenna Wolfe & Stephanie Gosk

One might remember Jenna Wolfe as a successful American journalist and personal trainer. Between 2007 and 2014, Wolfe was the correspondent for NBC’s Today, and she was the news anchor for Weekend Today. Jenna’s partner, Stephanie Gosk, is also a well-known American journalist and correspondent who’s best known for her work with NBC News. Jenna and Stephanie have been together for quite some time now, and without a doubt, they’re undeniably adorable!

Gosk and Wolfe aren’t just partners in life, but they’re also partners in raising not just one but two adorable children. Both Jenna and Stephanie certainly deserve a ton of credit for working together to become the best parents of their two adorable daughters, Harper and Quinn Lily. It is reasonable to expect that both Harper and Quinn Lily have bright futures ahead of them because both of their parents are hard workers.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson & Justin Mikita

When we talk about good-looking LGBT couples, it’s hard not to include Justin Mikita and Jesse Tyler Ferguson in the conversation. Ferguson is a well-known actor who’s best known for playing “Mitchell Pritchett” on the hit television sitcom Modern Family. On the other hand, Mikita is a producer and a lawyer who’s quite successful in his own field. The two dated for two years and got engaged in September 2012.

Today, they’re about to enter their eighth year of marriage, and they’re hoping to become excellent fathers in the future. We certainly wish Justin and Jesse luck, and there’s no doubt that their kids will be incredibly lucky to have two wonderful fathers.

Jessica Clark & Lacey Stone

Jessica Clark is a successful British model who won a national modeling competition. Clark eventually signed with Models 1, and she managed to combine her modeling career with a law degree. However, her success as a model led her to leave the program after 18 months. Besides modeling, Clark was also able to appear in a handful of movies. She was also married to Lacey Stone for two years.

Stone is a fitness coach, and they were both married from 2010 until 2012.  It certainly isn’t clear why the two separated, and there’s no information about why their marriage only lasted for two years. They certainly looked incredibly happy together, which makes us to wonder why they went their separate ways. These days, Clark is known to have dated a few men. We certainly don’t know what will happen in the future, and she might end up getting married in the next few years!

Jim Parsons & Todd Spiewak

Jim Parsons is unquestionably one of the most recognizable actors today.

This couple is now together, hopefully forever, after saying “I Do” during their wedding ceremony in May 2015.

We certainly hope that their happiness will translate into a long and blissful marriage.

Besides being incredibly good-looking, this couple also has an interesting back-story on how they got married.

Barrowman and Gil became married just hours after they were engaged. This couple formally tied the knot within a few days after the ban on same-gender marriage got overturned in the state of California. Barrowman and Gil were certainly one of the first same-gender couples to tie the knot in California, and they have now been married for a whopping 22 years. There’s certainly no question that they enjoy each other’s company, and we hope that they continue to have a happy and blissful marriage.

As any former boy band member would do, Knight proposed to Rodriguez in spectacular fashion. He booked a vacation to Africa using his credit cards, and he took both of their moms with them. It certainly was a lovely plan, and one can only imagine how happy the couple and their moms have been. We sincerely hope that they continue to find bliss in their relationship, and we’re looking forward to seeing them even happier in the future.

The latter is an Australian artist who lives and works in New York and has participated in numerous exhibitions in Europe, Australia, and the United States. Her work features a series of signs, symbols, and metal maps with codes that explore ideas of intuition, memory, and interpretation.

Camera-shy, Catullo faced the media professionally, and her community was proud and delighted to have such broad-minded people holding office and power.

Billy Porter & Adam Smith

Whenever you see Billy Porter on the red carpet, your eyes will most likely be drawn to his fantastic outfit, followed by a fast pan to his husband, Adam Porter-Smith. Since they met back in 2009, Smith has been a significant part of Porter’s path, but he is much more than just a celebrity’s lesser-known spouse. He’s into the investment side and co-owns a high-end eyewear company.

Smith and his husband first met at a dinner with mutual friends in February 2009, and it was through that meeting that they formed a close connection that has lasted to this day. Although the couple parted in 2010, they remained close friends, and their bond was always present. However, Smith’s birthday in 2015 turned out to be the ideal time for him to propose. Porter and Smith decided to marry shortly after the proposal. There’s at least one thing the newlyweds aren’t expecting as they look forward to the remainder of their lives together, although they’ll confront some unknowns.

Ben Platt & Noah Galvin

Ben Platt played Evan Hansen on Broadway for the first time in 2016, and Noah Galvin took up the role in 2017. After years of friendship, the two finally announced their relationship in May 2020 and have been giving us adorable glimpses of their relationship ever since.

They moved things from “zero to sixty,” and the couple began living together with his parents in their childhood home and seeing each other all the time. Platt claims that he has discovered a partner that he truly adores. Galvin credits his partner with helping him overcome his “anxiety and apprehension” about reprising his role as Evan Hansen in his upcoming film.

Beanie Feldstein & Bonnie Chance Roberts

Beanie Feldstein used to be so awful at relationships that her big brother and fellow actor Jonah Hill dubbed her “Dexter” after the TV character of the same name. She never believed in the idea of love, which is why Hill described her as “a serial murderer of relationships.”

However, all changed when Feldstein and Bonnie Chance Roberts met, and he discovered what all the fuss is about when it comes to love. Feldstein saw what that something was when she met Roberts. She made her feel like everything finally fell into place. The two met on How to Build a Girl set in the United Kingdom. Roberts was a producer, and Feldstein played the lead part. Although it’s unclear when they became official, the actress posted a snapshot of herself and Roberts on Instagram in October 2018 with the romantic message, “She made it over the pond. Now, we are looking at a different degree of love.”

In February 2021, they announced their engagement on social media, with both sharing photographs commemorating the occasion.

Sean Hayes & Scott Icenogle

Sean Hayes is best known for Jack McFarland on W&G and CBS’s comedy The Millers, but Scott Icenogle is also well-known. We didn’t know either, but after doing some research, we realized that he had a fantastic career in the music industry. According to his website, Icenogle is a music producer and composer who has worked in television and film. He also collaborates with his production partner, Lior Rosner, in making music for a variety of purposes.

Icenogle is said to have started around 2005. He’s even worked on Beyoncé’s music, which instantly qualifies him as a flawless human. Oh, and the fact that he has more than 35 number-one singles on the Billboard charts doesn’t hurt either! Icenogle has even been able to collaborate with the Emmy winner on a professional degree. He also composes music for the shows on which Hayes appears. Isn’t that a match made in heaven?

Ali Krieger & Ashlyn Harris

They say that a pair who plays together remains together, and Ashlyn Harris and Ali Krieger will be together for life if we go by it. They’re colleagues on the World Cup-winning United States National Women’s Soccer Team and the Orlando Pride, and their bond is just as strong on the field as it is at home. Fans can’t seem to get enough of this couple, and who can blame them? The ladies are famous because of their sports investments, and they have all the makings of a gorgeous celebrity pair.

Krieger and Harris first met at a USWNT training camp more than ten years ago and began dating soon after. However, for fear of losing endorsement deals and public favor, they kept their relationship a secret. After over a decade together, they eventually made their relationship public before their wedding. The couple got hitched and adopted a baby girl named Sloane. Despite their celebrity position, the couple admits that they are just like any other couple at home.

Robbie Rogers & Greg Berlanti

Greg Berlanti, the famous TV producer behind hits like Riverdale and Supergirl could have written his script for meeting his husband. Looking back, a buddy offered to introduce Berlanti to Robbie Rogers, a professional soccer player, during a rooftop Pride celebration back in 2013.

After Rogers invited Berlanti to be his plus-one for the ESPY Awards, their relationship turned romantic. Berlanti, who was in his forties at the time, wanted to establish a family but wasn’t sure if he’d ever married. He knew Rogers wanted to start a family right then, and he’s always fantasized about having children. As a result, when they started dating, they were already looking into the possibility of having children. They ended up adopting before getting married. Rogers and Berlanti finally tied the knot back in 2017 and had their second child, Mia, who joined her older brother Caleb. Since then, they’ve noticed how far the LGBTQ movement has changed to some degree.

Andrew Rannells & Tuc Watkins

We often see on-screen couples who ignited a romance on stage and became real-life lovers in Hollywood, and Andrew Rannells and Tuc Watkins have one of those incredible love tales.

Watkins, like Rannells, is a well-known movie star. He is an actor and producer best known for his roles on One Life to Live and Desperate Housewives. The duo met during the 2018 Broadway revival of Mart Crowley’s The Boys in the Band. They portrayed Larry and Hank in the film, unaware that it would only be a matter of time until they realized that an off-screen romance would better fit them. The couple also appeared in the television show Black Monday as an on-screen couple. They reunited for the recently released Netflix film adaption of TBITB.

Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne are a match made in heaven. The couple frequently shares lovely photos of themselves on social media, eliciting many “awws” and heart emojis from admirers. Notaro couldn’t stop gushing about her love describing their relationship as “so effortless.”

Their love story dates back over a decade when they starred in the same film, In a World. Notaro was cast as Cher at the time, while Allynne was supposed to play Nancy. According to Allynne, it wasn’t until the two were in Sundance a year later that they started to become something more. Before making things official, the couple went on to have dinner dates and a casual “gray area” hanging around. The two announced their engagement over the New Year holiday in January of 2015. They then married on October 24, 2015, in Notaro’s hometown of Pass Christian, Mississippi. Both have been very busy with their respective career investments during the last few years.

Megan Rapinoe & Sue Bird

#RelationshipGoals appears to be a popular hashtag these days, and if there’s any couple that seems to represent that now, it’s Megan Rapinoe and her fiancée, basketball legend Sue Bird.

Rapinoe is one of the most well-known and accomplished soccer players of all time. She has two World Cup credits under her belt and an Olympic gold medal to her name. Bird, on the other hand, is equally successful. She, too, is one of the best basketball players of all time, having won many championships and Olympic gold medals. They’re also outspoken activists in the Black Lives Matter and Say Her Name movements, respectively. They’ve been by each other’s sides for many of these accomplishments, both on and off the field. Although both athletes are from Seattle and live there, they had never met until a brief encounter at a press event for the 2016 Summer Olympics, and in 2017, the couple made their romance public. Rapinoe and Bird became the first openly gay pair to be featured in ESPN The Magazine’s legendary “Body Issue” the following year.

Tan & Rob France

We’ve received a small insight into the lives of our makeover heroes when they’re not transforming a hero throughout 16 Queer Eye episodes. They sprinkle tidbits about their lives outside of the Netflix series between makeovers and life-affirming conversations, and Tan France is no exception.

Tan claimed that he and Rob met on a dating service back in 2008 and immediately hit it off. (It turns out that some celebs aren’t all that different from us.) Despite growing from diverse backgrounds, Rob suggested that religion played a significant role in getting along so well. Not long after they started dating, they realized they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together, i.e., living in the same state. Tan lived in New York but loved Salt Lake, so he decided to move there after falling in love with Rob. A lot is going on in their lives right now: a 10-year marriage, investments, and a baby on the way.

Bobby Berk & Dewey Do

If there is one thing we admire more than Bobby Berk’s interior design sense, it’s his adorable relationship with Dewey Do, his husband of eight years. Though their love story is kept under wraps by Queer Eye’s interior design guru, their relationship history seems like a fairytale. Berk may keep the circumstances of how they met a secret, but he posts a lot of couple photos on Instagram and isn’t afraid to declare his love for Do. The designer even said that his happy place is “at home with his hubby” and that Do is his “biggest love.”

Do, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, has a fantastic resume to match his husband’s. He received his dentistry degree at the University of Connecticut Health. Berk migrated to New York City back in 2003 to be with a guy he was dating, and that’s when he met his future husband, and they soon got married in 2012. They relocated to the more tranquil Silver Lake region in 2019, and Berk said that starting a family is in their “five-year plan” and that it will most likely happen.

Karamo Brown & Ian Karamo

We always credit Karamo Brown for his relationship advice on Queer Eye, so it’s no surprise that his relationship is gorgeous enough too. He and his fiancé of nearly ten years, Ian Jordan, have grown into completely supportive partners and excellent co-parents. If their love history has shown us anything, it’s that they can conquer any obstacle together.

Looking back, Brown asked Jordan for his 30th birthday celebration. He even informed his family and friends that he’d met the man he was going to spend the rest of his life with. Unfortunately, following some Facebook stalking, Jordan noticed that Brown’s relationship status was “in a relationship,” so he opted not to attend the party. Brown confronted Jordan over the phone when he failed to show up for Brown’s birthday party. Yet, it would take another three months for the two to begin dating. When Brown felt his sons were comfortable with Jordan, the then pair decided it was time to make things more official.

Heather Matarazzo & Heather Turman

Heather Matarazzo is one of those individuals that take her relationships seriously, even though she is dating Heather Turman, a hilarious comedian. Although we do not know when the couple started dating, they collaborated on the 2017 comedy Stuck, where Matarazzo played Darby, a nurse sentenced to home detention after getting into legal difficulties. Meanwhile, Turman co-wrote the screenplay with David Mickel and had a brief role in the film. Matarazzo confirmed their romance on Instagram back in June 2017 after their friendship turned intimate.

While we’re still waiting for further information on Princess Diaries 3, Matarazzo has another reason to rejoice. She has just announced that she is engaged to Turman. She also uploaded a series of images of the two sitting on a small piece of driftwood on the beach. Each photo depicts a different degree of love, from Turman’s emotional response to their romantic kiss after she accepts. We are hoping to hear wedding bells soon!

Sam Champion & Rubem Robierb

Sam Champion is a familiar face for many, as he is a staple in Good Morning America. The co-anchor came out as gay back in 2012 when he was wed to artist Rubem Robierb. The couple met with the help of mutual friends at a New Year’s Eve party. He was the first-ever co-anchor who came out in a morning show and received plenty of support. Moreover, their wedding was attended by their close friends and family. However, the couple planned on having a bigger affair in Miami at a later date.

Today, Champion and his husband are living in an apartment in New York, which is close to his network. They are busy with their investments in their rooftop garden, with the co-anchor sharing snaps of it on his social media account. The couple had a good start to this year as Robierb has become an American citizen. Kudos to the sweet pair who celebrated this milestone with a simple cake decorated with flags.

Kevin McHale & Austin P. McKenzie

Kevin McHale was a prominent character in the hit music show, Glee. Though the show had ended years ago, their fans haven’t forgotten about them at all. In fact, McHale’s fans were quick to note that the actor’s social media account had photos of him holding another man’s hand. The actor has refrained from commenting about his orientation, but with his photos, it was a coming out of the closet that many applauded him for. He later revealed his beau is none other than actor Austin P. McKenzie.

McKenzie has worked in Spring Awakening as well as in When We Rise. Moreover, the cute couple has also been quarantining together. Recently, McHale revealed that they had a COVID scare when McKenzie fell ill. It turned out to be salmonella poisoning, which was brought by an undercooked food that McHale prepared. To the pair’s credit, the mishap was turned into comedy in their social media account with their fans joining in. Fortunately, McKenzie is feeling much better.

Maria Bello & Dominique Crenn

NCIS alum Maria Bello is engaged to French chef Dominique Crenn. The couple got engaged back in December 2019 while they were in Paris for a vacation. Crenn was diagnosed with breast cancer early in their relationship, and although many might have ended things there, Bello, to her credit, stood by her side. The Michelin star chef did warn Bello of the implications of having cancer in their relationship, but it did not dissuade the Coyote Ugly star.

In addition, the couple shared their engagement on their social media accounts while they were heading to one of singer Elton John’s party, which was met with support from their fans. The couple is quite supportive of one another’s careers. Though there is no news yet on when they will be tying the knot, one thing is clear, the two have weathered a huge storm and remained very much in love. What a pair indeed!

Kiersey Clemons & Ebony De La Haye

The love story between Hearts Beat Loud star Kiersey Clemons and her stunt double Ebony De La Haye happened while they were shooting Sweetheart in Fiji. Clemons had several projects lined up after her role in Dope. The survivalist thriller that the actress was filming involved several underwater stunts that De La Haye performed. By the time their shooting wrapped up, romance was definitely in the air. However, the two had to go their separate ways since Clemons had to return to L.A. while De La Haye, who was living in Singapore, had to continue her visa application.

The couple’s investments in their relationship, from one year in a long-distance relationship, to moving in together, is nothing but sweet. They are both talented individuals who are opposite from each other but managed to balance each other out. The couple is quarantining together and are enjoying working out, dining out, and winding down in front of the TV. Knowing the kind of jobs that they have and the willingness to work on their relationship has helped them overcome many challenges.

Heizer, on the other hand, started out in Parenthood and is now in the viral series 13 Reasons Why. The young stars have attended the Pride march and are advocates of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Their opening about their sexuality, especially Jessup, who just recently came out, was met with plenty of support from their families and co-stars. Their shared selfie on Jessup’s Instagram page made quite the buzz with the couple being showered with nothing but love. The two have opened up their sexuality in their own ways, which they should be given credit for. Their young love is definitely worth following as they are tagged as up and coming stars in TV series.

Justice Smith & Nicholas Ashe

Justice Smith is here to stay in Hollywood as an openly gay actor. One of the leads in the series, Genera+ion, the actor admitted that he did not regret opening up about his sexuality last year. Though he hesitated about announcing his orientation for half a second, he chose to be brave about it. Ashe, on the other hand, had admitted that he was gay when he worked on Choir Boy on Broadway. The couple came out as a couple when they attended the Black Lives Matter march.

Their investments in their relationship showed that it was possible for people of color to be in a same-sex relationship. With these two stars at the cusp of fame at a young age, they are in the best position to be more open about talking about their sexuality. Justice knows that it is still a long way to go, but seeing their happiness together should be enough for now.

Omar Ayuso & Alonso Diaz

Omar Ayuso has finally revealed his boyfriend on his Instagram account, and his fans were overjoyed. He is part of the Netflix series, Elite, and plays the closeted gay Muslim of the same name in the series. Though many were shipping Omar and his co-star Ander Munoz, his heart already belonged to another. With social media posts showing him with another male, his fans were starting to wonder who his companion was. Leave it to Ayuso to end the speculation by revealing his current partner in a sweet birthday message.

Ayuso penned a birthday message to Alonso Diaz on his Instagram account. Though it was in Spanish, the gist was that the actor couldn’t find the right words and that he wanted Diaz to be by his side more or less.

Though Diaz’s social media accounts don’t leave many clues, the two are finally out in the open, with supporters wishing them the best.

The What Not To Wear star Stacy London has been posting quite a lot of topics on her Instagram account. However, one that caught her fans’ attention was when she shared a meme about her and Cat Yezbak, with whom she announced she was already in a relationship for a year. London did not pull any punches with her post, stating that she was not hiding or ashamed of their relationship. According to the star, she felt she owed Yezbak a year of privacy. Now that they are out in the open, many wonder who Yezbak is.

Yezbak is a star in her own right. She is a great singer in Ireland and does voice-overs. Her social media account is filled with photos of her, her dogs, and of course, Stacy London. Interestingly, the two started out as friends, with her being supportive during London’s dark times. The investments that they put in their relationship away from the limelight have helped them make it stronger.

However, the actress has already settled down with her partner, Allison Balian, whom she had been with for six years before they tied the knot.

Burrows is not just working as an actress, but she is also an activist, a writer, and the mother of two children. The couple has been using their investment money to raise their children safely away from the limelight. Notorious about her private life, Burrows does give tiny tidbits about their relationship, and it seems that everything is doing well for them. Though the two did elope, not having a luxurious wedding was on point as these two prefer the quiet life.

In case you need to know, Janet is an executive producer of The Rubin Report, and Rubin proposed during a Fleetwood Mac concert in Los Angeles. Without a doubt, it was a lovely proposal, and the host waited until the band played Janet’s favorite song, Dreams, before popping the question.

Tristin Chipman & Emily Saliers

Emily Saliers was on tour in Vancouver for her band Indigo Girls when she announced that she was married. It seems that she married her longtime partner and former tour manager, Tristin Chipman, in 2013 in New York.

The couple shares a daughter whom they dote on. The two worked together on being friends but fell in love over the years. Chipman is a music producer back in Toronto and Saliers was worried that, without a green card, she will not be able to work in the U.S. To her credit, the singer has been advocating for changes in laws about same-sex marriage, especially in immigration. Nowadays, they are staying in their vacation home and home-schooling their daughter.

The song later appeared in Pierson’s solo album.

The singer and her artist wife, Coleman, have plenty of investments to their name. One of them is a hotel at the Catskills, which is keeping them busy. The quiet time that they have been spending time together is keeping their relationship strong.

The ceremony was attended by about 250, together with the couple’s three children. Today, Florke and Maloney are about to enter their 10th year of marriage and are still going strong to this day.

Cassandra Peterson & Teresa Wierson

In the acting business, it often takes just one role for a celebrity to garner a skyrocketing degree of fame. Well, such was the case for Cassandra Peterson. Already a huge fan of horror when she was a child, she started her career in the entertainment industry as a dancer. After a couple of small roles for movies and shows, she finally received widespread recognition around 1981, thanks to her now-iconic vampire persona Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.

Since then, Peterson has portrayed the character in numerous projects, ranging from movies, TV shows, and even video games. While this may be her greatest success under the spotlight, it’s safe to say the actress’ most notable achievement lies elsewhere. After almost two decades of secrecy, the Elvira star finally revealed to the world that she’s been in a loving relationship with Teresa Wierson. A former bodybuilder turned gym trainer, the two first met around 2002, and from then on, their bond grew stronger and stronger.

Meanwhile, Sigurðardóttir is a writer who finished her studies at the University of Iceland, graduating with a bachelor’s in English and Literature. Through the years, she has written numerous works, including articles, two biographies, several plays, and eleven novels.

In addition, with the fame she has garnered along the way, it’s no surprise Sigurðardóttir’s works have been translated to other languages now and then.

Virginia Woolf & Vita Sackville-West

Writing books and other forms of literature can be quite an investment. Besides being a line of work that can help earn an author some fortune, it also gives them a status akin to that of a celebrity. Well, such was the case for Virginia Woolf and her partner, fellow author Vita Sackville-West.

The two first met during a dinner they both attended. From that point onward, their relationship developed until it became romantic. With that said, the two were undoubtedly talented writers in their own right. Woolf wrote numerous works throughout her career, with the most notable titles being Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and of course, Orlando. The titular hero in the latter-mentioned book was based on her partner. Meanwhile, Sackville-West made 13 novels, one of which was an award-winning epic titled The Land. Although they ultimately ended their relationship after almost a decade, the two late authors remained friends.

Lily Tomlin & Jane Wagner

While celebrities often have millions – even billions – of fans around the world, it’s safe to say their number-supporters would always be the people closest to them, their friends and family. For Lily Tomlin, that credit undoubtedly goes to her then-partner-now-wife Jane Wagner.

Starting her career as a stand-up comic, Tomlin also took some time performing on stage productions. Well, after a couple more gigs, she had the chance to meet her future wife. Along with the two developing a strong bond right from the get-go, the couple also wasted no time working on a couple of projects together. One of the earlier collaborations this actress-writer duo had was Tomlin’s comedy album, And That’s The Truth. A few years later, Wagner wrote a stage production titled The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, starring her wife. The show was a smash hit and even won the actress a Tony Award. It just goes to show that many of the best team efforts are those made with loved ones.

Xavier Bettel & Gauthier Destenay

By the looks of it, Xavier Bettel was already quite enthusiastic about politics at a young age. Having studied several laws throughout his years in school, including maritime and canon law, he eventually graduated with a master’s degree in Public and European Law, Political Science, and Public Law. After some time working as a talk show host, he finally found his way to the government. Since 2013, he has served as Luxembourg’s Prime Minister.

Outside work, Bettel spends quality downtime with his husband, Gauthier Destenay. While the two have been in a civil union since 2010, the couple finally officially married in 2014. With that said, Destenay is an architect, working as an associate for a local firm since 2013.

Other than that, though, this couple prefers to live a low-key lifestyle.

Casey Breves & Sam Tsui

YouTube star Sam Tsui surprised everyone when he came up gay and married his partner, Casey Breves, a day later in 2016. The video producer revealed he had been in a long-term relationship with his fellow YouTuber star and musician. Despite their degree of fame, Tsui explained he did not see the need to publicly discuss his personal life. He knew it had nothing to do with the music he would create.

However, the internet star stressed that even if he waited for the right time to address his sexuality, he was never ashamed of who he really was. He continued that he was extremely proud of himself and his relationship with Breves. Tsui also deemed it unnecessary to do a big coming-out video because, in real life, it was not a huge issue at all. In fact, it was only a “small facet” of who he was, and he had no care about what others would think of him.

Pete Buttigieg & Chasten Buttigieg

Pete and Chasten Buttigieg are another successful dating app love story. The two started chatting in 2015, and their first topic was about the HBO hit series Game of Thrones. This show became the reason that they continued their talk on FaceTime, and it became a regular thing. Chasten gave credits to their online dates, saying it had gone so well.

However, if it had its advantages, it also had disadvantages. From here, they decided to meet in person. Their official first date involved fireworks, Scotch eggs, and a baseball game. Though it was not what Chasten originally planned, it turned out perfect—a made-for-TV movie. Come 2016, the couple moved in together and took their love to another level when Chasten met Pete’s parents. The proposal then happened at the O’Hare International Airport in 2017, and they officially tied the knot in 2018, with a whopping 200 guests in attendance.

Stephen Fry is a well-known English actor, comedian, director, and writer. He’s best known as part of the comedic double act Fry and Laurie in which he starred alongside fellow actor Hugh Laurie. He also appeared in other notable projects such as Jeeves and Wooster, Alfresco, Blackadder, and many more. Besides his stellar acting career, he is also known as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

On January 6, 2015, Fry announced on Twitter that he’d be marrying his partner, Elliot Spencer. Eleven days later, the two formally tied the knot in a private ceremony held at Dereham in Norfolk. The two are still married to this day and are about to enter their sixth year of marriage. Both certainly deserve credit for a sustained marriage, and it seems like they’ve found their happily ever after in each other. We certainly hope that their marriage won’t need any legal intervention any time soon.

Queen Latifah & Jeanette Jenkins

Queen Latifah is, without a doubt, a legend in Hollywood. With a career spanning more than three decades, she has been regarded as a pioneer in rap music, with her focus in feminist themes on many of her songs. In addition, she has established a highly successful acting and talk show career. Outside of her career, she has been quite known for keeping much of her personal life private. Her relationship with Jeanette Jenkins is no exception. She is known for having an investment in a fitness company that she had founded.

While details surrounding the relationship between Latifah and Jenkins have been scarce, what is known is that they bought a house together back in 2010. This indicated a desire for them to move and live together. However, it seems that the idea did not materialize, as they have ended their relationship since. Today, both live their separate lives, with Latifah moving on and starting a relationship with Eboni Nichols, which was made public in 2021.

Orlando Cruz & Jose Manuel Colon

Orlando Cruz is quite known in the world of boxing for being the very first openly gay boxer. He has been noted for his quick hands and feet, which is worthy of his spot as number four among featherweights. In addition, he has been a firm advocate of LGBT rights in the world of boxing. Outside of his career, Cruz has been romantically involved with Jose Manuel Colon for some time. While their first meeting cannot be pinpointed, what is certain is that by 2012, they already got engaged, which was featured in a video shared on Facebook. This was also around the time Cruz came out as gay.

In 2013, the two tied the knot in New York’s Central Park, with their friends and family in attendance. Since then, the two have lived quite happily together. Despite the initial difficulties they faced, it seems that they made an investment to keep the bond between them strong.

Mark Gatiss & Ian Hallard

Mark Gatiss is another successful English actor, comedian, director, producer, and novelist. You might know him for his credit roles in popular television shows such as Doctor Who, Dracula, and Sherlock. Besides appearing in several television shows, Gatiss is also known as the husband of Ian Hallard. Together, you could say that they are one good-looking couple!

Gatiss and Hallard met online back in 2000, and 21 years ago, meeting online wasn’t exactly something you’d broadcast back then. The actor says that there was a genuine stigma back in the day, and luckily, that stigma has completely vanished today. The two didn’t tell their families that they met online. Instead, they told them they met at a party because meeting someone on the internet was still viewed as odd at the time. We simply can’t get enough of their long-term relationship. Gatiss and Hallard live together in a lovely home in Islington, London.
