Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef

The King of Latin Pop and his artist husband have been killing it on the red carpet since 2016 and married since 2018.

The dapper duo has four children via surrogate.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi

This Hollywood power couple has seemingly been together forever. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi met at an awards show in 2004 and married in 2008. The two renewed their vows in de Rossi's native Australia for their tenth wedding anniversary.

Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli

These two lovebirds met while Wiley was acting in and Morelli was writing for Orange Is the New Black. They married in March 2017 in Palm Springs and jetted off to Italy for their honeymoon. And their social media feeds have been a nonstop flood of romantic vacay pics ever since.

Pete and Chasten Buttigieg

Whatever your politics, there's no denying Mayor Pete and his husband Chasten, a junior high teacher, are hands-down the cutest couple. The duo met on dating app Hinge and tied the knot in June 2018.

Abby Wambach and Glennon Doyle

What do you get when you cross an Olympic gold medalist soccer player with a writer, philanthropist, and inspirational speaker? A highly entertaining, deeply moving pair, that's what. Since their marriage in 2017, Wambach and Doyle have made juggling careers (both have authored books since), three children, and family life look like a piece of cake.

RuPaul and Georges LeBar

On the surface, RuPaul and Georges LeBar might seem like total opposites: While RuPaul hosts a TV show, pops up in seemingly every movie, and has one of the most eye-catching wardrobes in Hollywood, his husband runs a ranch in rural Wyoming. (Yes, really.) But it's clear that these two, who have been together since the early '90s and married in secret in 2017, are a perfect match.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mikita

One could say Ferguson and Mikita, who have been married since 2013, share a super normal, super boring life: filled with cameos in Taylor Swift music videos, coordinating designer outfits on the Tony Awards red carpet, and invites to John Legend's birthday party. See? So boring.

Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor

Actors Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor met at a Hollywood party in 2005, a solid decade before they became romantically linked. Their relationship officially began in 2015 after reconnecting on a project for women's rights. (Taylor slid into Paulson's DMs!) The two have admitted to entertaining the idea of marriage from a spiritual standpoint and in regards to their 32-year age difference Paulson has said, "I can't say it any other way than there's a poignancy to it, and a heightened sense of time and the value of time."

Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner

Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner's relationship has spanned over five decades! Their romance began in the early 1970s and simultaneously kicked off and equally rewarding professional partnership in comedy. Tomlin and Wagner tied the knot on New Year's Eve in 2013, after 42 years together.

Furnish highlights the importance of maintaining ones individuality and not getting swept up in a partner's identity.

Nico Tortorella and Bethany Meyers

Torterella and Meyers have been in what they describe as a "queer polyamorous" relationship for over a decade. They tied the knot, wearing "gender-bending" white gowns, in early 2018. "Thirteen years later and I love you even more now than I did then. You give me support when I'm weak. Confidence when I'm unsure. Smiles when I cry. And tears when I laugh. Let's never grow up mmmk babe?" Meyers captioned a super sweet Instagram post dedicated to Tortorella.

Brad and George Takei

"I have my mouth full, but suddenly Brad slipped out of his chair and was on the floor, and he said, ‘George, will you marry me?’ And I said, ‘You beat me to it, I was gonna ask you!’”
