Catherine Bell and Brooke Daniells
We love seeing ‘Army Wives’ actress Catherine Bell and her teen daughter’s antics on Instagram, but what’s even cuter is when we get rare sneak peeks of the beautiful love she has with her partner of nearly eight years- Brooke Daniells.
Brooke is a former beauty queen and an LA-based photographer, so their life in Bell’s 3,380 square foot ranch house is no doubt, picture-perfect. Fun fact: both these lovely ladies are moms to two kids each, and we bet there’s never a dull moment with such a big clan around.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi
Ellen DeGeneres never fails to make us laugh, and it’s no wonder that Portia fell hard for the witty talk show host. The couple is regarded as LGBTQ icons since they’ve been brave about living their truths for so long. That’s not all; the pair even joined hands for the biggest philanthropic efforts towards preserving wildlife- even their home in LA is full of rescued animals!
The ‘Ally McBeal’ star ingeniously combined their love and regard for animal welfare by gifting Ellen a whole gorilla sanctuary in Rwanda for her 60th birthday! With their bond stronger than ever, this devoted duo is truly destined for the long haul together.
Jodie Foster and Alexandra Hedison
To say that Jodie Foster is an accomplished actress is an understatement given her multiple Oscar wins for movies like ‘Panic Room’ and ‘The Silence of the Lambs.’ So it’s only right that she found love in someone that shares a similar interest in the arts- the stunning photographer and actress Alexandra Hedison.
But, Jodie was careful to keep their relationship under wraps until things became more concrete for them. It wasn’t long before she knew they belonged together, and now the happily joined pair are having a blast bringing up Jodie’s sons together in their palatial Beverly Hills home!
Robin Roberts and Amber Laign
Robin Roberts is no stranger since we see her every morning on ‘Good Morning America.’ Ever since the pandemic has forced most hosts to shift their studios into homes, we’ve been seeing more of Robin’s adorable girlfriend, Amber Laign, and their adorable pooch, Lukas as well.
Roberts even shared the cutest video on her social media, showing Laign sleeping peacefully in their garden next to the outdoor pool. It just goes to show how smitten the host is with her girlfriend, and unsurprisingly, Robin shared how she was hesitant to get back to the studio again. Who’d want to leave such a cozy home and loving partner behind?
Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry
‘Roseanne’ actress Sara Gilbert met ‘4 Non Blondes’ lead singer Linda Perry back in 2011. After fans had been shipping them for three whole years, the couple finally tied the knot and became proud parents to a son, Rhodes.
In what came as a shock to many, Sara filed for separation after nearly six years of marriage. But the 2020 pandemic seems to have brought the former flames closer again, as they’ve been quarantining together while co-parenting their kid. Who knows, maybe they’ll even find their way back to happiness again, since Linda has shared how there’s still so much love between her and Sara, despite their differences.
Brittney Griner and Cherelle Watson
After WNBA star Brittney Griner’s highly publicized divorce with fellow sportswoman Glory Johnson, it seemed like she’d give marriage a backseat in her life. But luckily enough, a friendship that started back when Griner was an alumna at ‘Baylor University’ finally blossomed into love.
The lucky lady is Cherelle Watson, and the duo seems ecstatic over their engagement. They’re also not hesitant to share how much they value one another, with Cherelle calling Griner her ‘best friend.’ We only wish the best for these young lovebirds and can’t wait to see them both walk down the aisle as beautiful brides!
Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka
Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka are well-loved for both their acting prowess, as well as the super-cute relationship they share. As it turns out, Neil had zero doubts when it came to his crush and actually pursued Burtka by showing up at all the places he’d typically choose to be. Isn’t that such a ‘Barney’ thing to do?
We’re glad that the ‘How I Met Your Mother’ star reaped the rewards of his unwavering determination, or our social media feeds would lack this adorable tandem’s posts. Admitting relationships take work- Neil and David make sure to attend a weekly therapy session as a couple.
Cara Delevingne and Ashley Benson
Cara Delevingne and Ashley Benson were the ultimate couple goals with their daring PDA, enviable fashion sense, and hilarious TikToks that gave us life. Nor could we stop gushing over the pups they adopted together.
So, when outlets started to hint at a breakup, no one would believe them at first. That is, of course, until we heard the duo address the split themselves. But it’s still evident that they have so much respect and regard for each other, judging by the way Cara stood up to defend some post-breakup rumors against her ex. Here’s hoping these two find their spark again!
Elton John and David Furnish
Sir Elton John is another celeb who felt right away that the attraction could end up being something more. He knew David Furnish was special and dived right into it, normalizing gay relationships for generations to come.
After what seemed like the longest wait since 1993, they were among the first couples to get hitched once Britain legalized same-gender marriages in 2014. Their secret to almost three decades of togetherness; handwritten notes to each other every Saturday, no matter where they are in the world! Expressing your love is really the key, folks!
Melissa Etheridge and Linda Wallem
It melts our hearts hearing how endearingly this couple refers to their union as a ‘rock and roll love story.’ This could be partly because Melissa Etheridge sweetly sang her wedding vows to her wife at the wedding. Linda Wallem asserts that it was one of the most beautiful moments of her life.
The happily married couple got hitched in Santa Barbara in 2014 with their ‘I do’ ceremony witnessed by 100 people. We are thrilled that Etheridge’s kids from the previous relationship pushed her to date again. The leap of faith for these two ladies to start seeing each other blossomed to love and now a ‘happily ever after’ that we cannot get over.
Cheyenne Jackson and Jason Landau
There is definitely more to the renowned actor Cheyenne Jackson than his breath-taking smile, and that is how awe-striking the union he has with Jason Landau is. The two met at a facility where they were pursuing wellness and were engaged a few months later in 2014.
It is a jolly feast for our eyes every time this happily married couple posts photos on their social media pages. Together, Jackson and Landau have twins that they dot on endlessly. It is amazing how these gentlemen do everything together, from singing to dancing and enduring turbulent times. Maybe this is the secret to a happy and fulfilled bond like the two share.
Billy Porter and Adam Smith
Emmy winner Billy Porter has been spellbinding us for quite some time on both Broadway and cinema, with roles like Pray Tell in ‘Pose.’ His hubby, Adam Smith, was charmed by Porter all the way back in 2009 when they met at a mutual friend’s dinner party. Looking back, Billy recounts how he thought to himself of snagging a seat next to the ‘handsome specimen’ that was Adam!
Although the two parted ways shortly after, they couldn’t stay away for long. And like all great loves, found their way back to each other almost a decade later, with Adam taking the big plunge and getting down on one knee.
Greg Berlanti and Robbie Rogers
Greg Berlanti has an impressive product portfolio with new age hits like ‘Riverdale.’ But, his own love story is just as well-written. Reminiscing on how he met his now-fiance, Robbie Rogers, and equally famed soccer player, Greg is almost embarrassed to say that his friend predicted the romance, just before introducing them.
Fittingly, it was at a rooftop Pride party, and after five years of dating and even entering into parenthood together, they decided it was time to exchange vows in front of friends and family. Now they are proud parents to two little ones and love watching the first cuts for Greg’s movies together as a family!
Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mikita
We loved it when Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Mitchell Pratchett welcomed a baby boy with hubby, Cameron, on ‘Modern Family.’ And now Jesse is reliving the experience with his real-life lawyer husband, Justin Mikita!
The couple even hosted an epic, star-studded baby shower to celebrate their first child’s arrival; needless to say, these lovebirds are ecstatic with the expansion of their little family unit. Everyone knows this duo doesn’t shy away from PDAs, so we can surely expect to see lots of too-cute-to-handle baby pictures on their social media pages soon enough! We can’t wait, can you?
Wanda Sykes and Alex Sykes
It’s hard not to like Wanda Sykes. The comedian’s sarcastic humor may make her seem like a toughie, but her heart-warming love story with wife, Alex, tells a different tale.
The striking senior VP of a stone manufacturing conglomerate was happily chatting away to a baby on a ferry when Wanda first laid eyes on her, and the celebrated comedienne immediately felt like Alex is what was missing in her life. As fate would have it, a mutual friend introduced the two when Wanda was looking to revamp her home. Now the actress gets to relive that initial spark every day, and we wish them both the best.
Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef
‘Livin’ La Vida Loca’ singer Ricky Martin and husband Jwan Yosef may have a modern love story, with the duo hitting it off via Instagram chat, but their family life is every bit old school as they come. The couple is so vocal about their love for each other and their preference for a big family that it didn’t surprise us when they welcomed their 4th baby at the end of 2019.
They pair overjoyed with their little ones’ giggles filling the house, and we can only imagine more great things in store for the happy couple. These two are blessed indeed!
Lance Bass and Michael Turchin
Lance Bass had a difficult time admitting his identity and coming out to the public as gay. But once he did, the world came to know that he was happily married to artist Michael Turchin. The two met at a mutual friend’s party and stayed connected on social media. Initially, Turchin felt intimidated to talk to a famous singer, but they got over the hesitation, and their relationship became committed over the years.
The ‘NSYNC’ band member tied the knot with his partner in 2014, and the two have been happily married. The couple became parents as they welcomed a set of twins in October 2021.
Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner
When famous comedian Lily Tomlin first met her now-wife Jane Wagner after a mutual friend introduced the two in 1971, we doubt they knew it would be the start of a long romantic and work relationship. Nevertheless, the actress fell head over heels for Wagner, a television writer, and since their meeting, they have been inseparable.
The two have worked on numerous projects together, with Wagner penning down Tomlin’s iconic role in ‘The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe’ show, for which she won a Tony Award. It seems
having a lot in common has helped the couple thrive, and they’re the ultimate gay couple in Hollywood.
Jillian Michaels and Deshanna Marie Minuto
Jillian Michaels is a famous fitness enthusiast who doesn’t need any introduction. The businesswoman has built a successful fitness empire that includes nine books, 20 DVDs, and a mobile app, which has won awards for being among the top fitness and health apps available.
Still, it seems her success isn’t only confined to her work life; Jillian is equally successful in her romantic life if the images on her socials are anything to go by. The personal trainer has been in a relationship with Deshanna Marie Minuto, a fashion designer, since 2018, and they look happier than ever. Sometimes, we find happiness after a heartbreak, and it seems Jillian has found her better half after separating from her former fiancée.
Barry Manilow and Garry Kief
For over four decades, acclaimed singer Barry Manilow and husband Garry Kief have been in romantic bliss, something that is hard to come by in the entertainment industry. The lovebirds met in 1978, and immediately Barry saw Garry; he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with him.
A couple of months after their first meeting, Garry took up managerial duties for the singer’s career, and what better way to make sure you’re in close contact with the love of your life, if not by hiring them? The couple exchanged their vows in a secret ceremony in 2014 and have been by each other’s side since.
Matt Bomer and Simon Halls
You might know Matt Bomer as the astonishingly handsome art thief from the ‘White Collar’ series, but did you know that he has been married since 2011? The actor tied the knot with his husband Simon Halls, a PR guru, in an intimate wedding attended by close family and friends.
The couple is pretty private about their romantic and family life, only showing us glimpses of their kids through their social media pages. Still, Matt and Simon are not ones to shy away from dotting over one another whenever they’re in public, and it seems that all is rosy in their household.
Matt Dallas and Blue Hamilton
If you’re wondering whether the handsome lad from the sci-fi show ‘Kyle XY’ Matt Dallas is single, well, we’re sorry to burst your bubble. The actor has been married to Blue Hamilton since 2015, after dating for six years, and they are changing the perception of same-gender couples in Hollywood.
Matt and Blue, through their social media, are creating awareness about the LGBTQ community, as well as guiding their fans through the adoption process, having adopted their son Crow, soon after they made their union official. Safe to say that becoming a family of three changed their lives, and it seems they’re enjoying every bit of it.
Jonathan Knight and Harley Rodriguez
From appearing on the ‘Amazing Race’ to setting each other’s hearts ablaze with romance, Jonathan Knight and Harley Rodriguez’s love story is something like a fairy tale. Before joining the show, the pair met through a mutual friend in Los Angeles, and while they were interested in each other, they didn’t work on their desires then.
Knight and Rodriguez have been together since 2008 and got engaged six years later during a trip to Africa. They had planned a wedding for 2021, but the plan had to be put off because of the pandemic. Yet, love always conquers, and we bet it’s only a matter of time before the lovebirds make their beautiful union official.
Abby Wambach and Glennon Doyle
We have seen several same-gender couples rise in Hollywood, and it seems Abby Wambach and Glennon Doyle are looking to continue the trend. The power couple first met in 2016 at an author’s launch event where they were both promoting their books, and as they say, the rest is history.
Despite being married before, both ladies have used their past heartbreaks to make their union work. Judging by the activities they showcase on their social media handles, they look happy together. Maybe the two will collaborate on a book sometime in the future, but for now, we’re delighted about their beautiful marriage!
Ryan Murphy and David Miller
Ryan Murphy, often called one of the most powerful men in the TV business, has achieved great heights in his professional and personal life. He enjoys a successful marriage with David Miller, a professional photographer based in Los Angeles.
They are reported to have met in 1996, at an LA restaurant, where Miller instantly liked Murphy’s confidence. The two took it slow and remained close friends for 14 years before starting a relationship in 2010. The writer of ‘Glee’ tied the knot with his partner two years later at a private ceremony in Provincetown with just their officiant present. This couple is stronger than ever, as they welcomed their third child in August 2020.
Chely Wright and Lauren Blitzer
It is true that couples who fight the world to stay together later emerge solid and fearless. Chely Wright is one of the first country singers to come out as a lesbian. Embracing her real-self wasn’t easy, but it led the singer straight to the love of her life – Lauren Blitzer. Shortly after opening up in 2010, Wright met LGBTQ activist Blitzer, and the two tied the knot the following year.
The two celebrated their love at a beautiful ceremony in Connecticut with 200 guests. The couple turned into parents in 2013 when they welcomed twin sons. The happy family resides in New York, where Wright makes music while Blitzer works in marketing at ‘Sony Music Entertainment.’
Michael Kors and Lance LePere
Prolific fashion designer Michael Kors enjoys a rock-steady relationship with his husband, Lance LePere. The two are reported to have met in 1990 when LePere joined Kors’ office as an intern. Despite a 12-years age gap, the two kept their relationship private for two decades before they married in 2011.
A romantic barefoot beach ceremony took place at Southampton, New York, to celebrate their inspiring love. While the two reside in Lower Manhattan, the couple is known to have properties in Water Island and Suffolk County. The ‘Project Runway’ judge continues to be a creative genius while LePere is leading the women’s section of the company.
Cynthia Nixon and Christine Marinoni
Nothing advances an inspiring romantic story better than the interested parties being passionate about a common cause. That is essentially the narrative responsible for Cynthia Nixon and Christine Marinoni’s meet-cute in 2001. The two have been bonded ever since and were blissfully wedded in 2012.
The actress from ‘S** and the city’ and her lovely wife are so in love they are practically couple goals. The two incredible ladies take parenthood seriously with their kids from previous relationships as well as their son together, Max. Jointly, they advocate for change with proper public education systems in their society, while Nixon has gotten herself involved in politics.
Nate Berkus And Jeremiah Brent
This dynamic duo makes a living in the creative and designing industry while appearing like they are specially tailored for each other. Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent met while working on the ‘The Rachel Zoe Project’ and were immediately drawn to one another. Together, they have built quite a cute family and wouldn’t imagine life apart.
In an interview with the media mogul Oprah Winfrey, the gentlemen confirmed that when they met, they knew they had found ‘the one.’ Not many people can go through life confident of such romantic alignment. The future is undoubtedly dazzling for Nate and Jeremiah.
RuPaul Charles and Georges LeBar
RuPaul may be the most ‘loud’ person on TV with his larger than life personality and legacy from ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race,’ but his personal life is much more understated. In fact, the world’s most famous drag performer has been devoted to husband Georges LeBar for 25 blissful years now!
Despite their 13-year age gap, the incredibly tall pair were instantly drawn to each other on a dance floor. It seemed like a scene out of a movie, and that’s just how RuPaul remembers it too. The couple believe cheering on each other and not putting shackles for anything is what has gotten them so far- Love is free after all.
Nina Ansaroff and Amanda Nunes
What can you expect from two hardcore UFC fighters, who are also life partners? According to Nina Ansaroff, her and partner Amanda Nunes deal with any rough patches by taking it out in the ring with a heavier than usual sparring match! – and of course, laugh about it after.
On smooth sailing days, the pair is inseparable, and if you’re lucky, you’d see them on a fishing boat or doing what they do best- training together to become their best versions. Having your bestie next to you with kisses at the ready is all the motivation you need after all.
Jake Barreau and Hunter Bishop
When Jake Barreau decided to come of the closet, it was taxing him not because he didn’t have enough love and support from friends and family, but as he feared it would stunt his career progression as a coach.
But accepting an Assistant Volleyball Coach post in the ‘University of Oklahoma’ surrounded by LGBT allies has made a welcome home to Jake and his loving husband, Hunter Bishop. Now he doesn’t feel like he’s living two lives and is in perfect sync with both the career aspirations and his romantic life. And what’s more, he has Bishop right by his side to share it all with!
Anya Battaglino and Madison Packer
National Women’s Hockey League experienced one of the happiest days in league history, when two of its star players, Anya Battaglino and Madison Packer, tied the knot at the end of 2019. No wonder Anya couldn’t help gushing to her Twitter followers that it was the “most perfect day ever.”
After all, they did wed at the gorgeous Gurney’s Resort in Rhode Island, which has a lighthouse as its backdrop! The photos look absolutely breathtaking and what’s more incredible is that even against the stunning landscape, the duo’s bright smiles are what steal the show! Here’s wishing the Packers a lifetime of bliss!
DeWanna Bonner and Candice Dupree
These two pro-WNBA players are making history by facing off each other on separate teams, all while maintaining a solid family life and juggling mommy duties! Girl power indeed. Both DeWanna Bonner and Candice Dupree have admitted that they’d be hard-pressed to make it work without the undying support of their family.
Even with ‘all hands on deck’ as Bonner calls it, maintaining such a tight schedule takes a lot of commitment and effort, and we must give it up for this duo. Of course, Facetime helps quite a lot whenever they miss each other too much!
Tom Bosworth and Harry Dineley
Team GB race walker Tom Bosworth picked the best place to pop the question to boyfriend Harry Dineley. Any guesses?
Yes, the Olympian chose to get down on one knee right after he finished 6th in the walking race at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics! And it happened as the cool winds of Copacabana beach enveloped them, no less. So, how could Harry say, no? While wedding bells are yet to ring for the couple, they’ve both been through Covid-19 and are in recovery. We wish them a speedy back-to-normal, and there might just be a wedding coming up very soon.
Mario Cantone and Jerry Dixon
Comic Mario Cantone wed his partner, Jerry Dixon, of 2 decades back in 2011. Now, another decade later, the couple is still very much in love as they grace red carpets and make tours to promote Cantone’s Broadway shows together.
Known for solo stints like ‘The Violet Hour’ and ‘Assassins,’ we can only imagine how director Jerry is holding his laughter 24/7 next to this funny man. It turns out he’s great fun too, according to Mario. They’ve teamed up for numerous Broadway specials and work on their craft together! But despite all the stardom, these two set aside enough time to celebrate their many anniversaries too – how lovely!
George Takei and Brad Altman
George Takei needs no introduction. The veteran ‘Star Trek’ actor and husband Brad Altman have been together for nearly three decades now, although they could only put a ring on it in 2008. But that’s still iconic as they were the first same-gender couple to obtain a marriage license in West Hollywood!
Now, the duo is actively working to widen the path of LGBT acceptance and are using their influence to good measure. They’re frontrunners with campaigns like ‘Equality Trek’ and the ‘Coming Out Project.’ The loving partners also make guest appearances together on talk and game shows, which are always a delight to watch.
Alec Mapa and Jamison Hebert
ABC’s ‘Switched at Birth’ actor Alec Mapa and actor turned producer Jamison Hebert have been in marital bliss since 2008. They’re both strong advocates of adoption and have had a stellar time raising their little one, Zion.
Both Alec and Hebert talk about how parenting together has been like holding up a mirror, making them better individuals with clearer goals. The couple wants to make the best example for their son and to see him grow up to be a creative and independent person. Naturally, it has made their bond as a couple stronger too, and we’re so glad to see this family growing and glowing!
Rebekkah Brunson and Bobbi Jo Lamar
Not many can boast of holding five WNBA titles, but that’s ‘Minnesota Lynx’ forward Rebekkah Brunson for you! Along with wife Bobbi Jo Lamar, she gives every athlete couple goals as they juggle a newborn, a self-made business, and Rebekkah’s grueling game schedules.
Yet it looks like the new moms are winning at it all. An unwavering love for each other and their baby are surely at the center of their little world. And all that determination started from revamping a ‘50s bread truck into a waffle station, only predicts bigger and better things for the ‘Sweet Gypsy’ entrepreneurs.
Craig Burns and Luke Sullivan
It was as if Commonwealth sprinter Craig Burns and fellow runner Luke Sullivan were counting down the minutes to tie the knot, as their magnificent ceremony happened just minutes into the dawn of January 9th, 2018, the first day of Australia legally allowing same-gender marriages!
Their happiness is apparent with those magical pictures, although Luke is adorably embarrassed about the fact that he may have ‘balled his eyes out’ on camera. Both guys are looking forward to a lifetime together, and it’s fantastic how things worked out for these two since their beautiful Byron Bay engagement a few months earlier.
Layshia Clarendon and Jessica Dolan
WNBA player Layshia Clarendon was lucky enough to find a life partner in her high school sweetheart, Jessica Dolan. The highlight was that they got hitched right where they fell for each other- at the ‘University of California,’ Berkeley in 2017.
Their photos throughout the ceremony show a lovestruck couple who’s eyes are glistening with sheer joy. Both looked wonderfully gorgeous as well, and you’re sure to draw a happy tear looking at them swaying away for their first dance. While it looks like the happily settled couple likes to shield private matters from the limelight, Layshia and Jessica are absolutely content in their life together, and it shows.
Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black
The Oscar-winning screenwriter of the acclaimed film ‘Milk’ Dustin Lance Black also has our top vote for the ‘best first-kiss’ story. After a three-hour convo that hit the right spot with a complete stranger, he was asked to mimic the gesture of diving into the water, only to be kissed by Olympic diver Tom Daley, who’s now Black’s husband of nearly seven years!
The couple is also ardent gay rights activists who won a battle to overturn an anti-gay marriage proposition. Now, they’re happily sleeping in shifts to care for their baby boy as a complete family. More power to these two!
Rob Kearney and Joey Aleixo
Pro strongman Rob Kearney received a huge outpouring of support from fans when he decided to announce that he was gay. It has been the same ever since his nuptials to Joey Aleixo in a beach wedding, and the couple are now reveling in joy and gratitude.
There’s even a video where the cuties readout hilarious and sweet comments by fans about the newlyweds, and it’s so heartwarming to watch. While Kearney and Joey had a brief split prior to the wedding, we’re glad they made the right decision to get back together again.
Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli
‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ star Samira Wiley and ‘Orange Is the New Black’ writer Lauren Morelli are so lovey-dovey together that we just can’t help doting on them whenever they grace the red carpets. While they met on set back in 2012, they didn’t take things forward until much later, but that didn’t stop the duo from spending some quality time laying a solid foundation of friendship.
Their 2017 Palm Springs wedding had 13 pounds of confetti thrown around- love was in the air indeed! The duo next stepped into making a cozy Californian bungalow their own, decorated with quirky and feminine prints all over- just as fun as they are!
Orlando Cruz and Jose Manuel Colon
How can we not love Orlando Cruz? He’s not just an incredible boxer, but he’s paved the way for the acceptance of LGBTQ individuals in the boxing arena by being the first openly gay wrestler! Imagine the amount of courage and bravery it must’ve taken to finally get to live the life you deserve.
His long term partner turned husband, Jose Manuel Colon is indeed fortunate to be able to do so with him. Cruz even repped the community on numerous occasions right in the ring by wearing pink gloves and rainbow shorts for fights! These days the duo is blissfully basking together on the beaches in sunny Puerto Rico.
