40 Of The Best Power Couples

The Obamas made history in 2008 as the first black President and First Lady of the United States, and have continued to inspire us over the years. From sweet birthday tributes to adorable candid moments, the former POTUS and FLOTUS are a power couple that never fails to keep it real. Talking to Oprah about love in her new book, Becoming, Michelle stated: "I always thought love was up close. Love is the dinner table, love is consistency, it is presence. So I had to share my vulnerability and also learn to love differently. It was an important part of my journey of becoming. Understanding how to become us." Photo: Getty

Lively and Reynolds met when they filmed their 2011 movie Green Lantern, where the pair played love interests on the big screen. However, their on-camera chemistry didn't immediately translate IRL. A year after filming wrapped, the two went on a double date, both with other people. "That was the most awkward date for that respective party because we were just like fireworks,” Reynolds told Entertainment Weekly. “We were such good friends for so long and we both got to know each other as friends. It didn’t click for a good year and a half,” Lively added. Eventually, the couple got married in 2012 with a dreamy Charleston wedding, and now have two adorable daughters together: James and Inez.

She's a triple-threat performer and he's a legendary former New York Yankee. The A-list couple started dating in 2017, and seemed to be a perfect match. In 2018, Lopez opened up to Harper's BAZAAR about their relationship: "We understand each other’s lives in a way that most other people couldn’t. We both entered the public eye in our early 20s and overachieved right from the start. And that affects every dynamic in your life, from your family to your work to your relationships. We have a similar makeup." In March 2019, A-Rod proposed with a massive diamond ring during a romantic vacation, sharing the sweet moment on Instagram. Photo: Getty

They now have two children together, daughters Hazel and Violet. Photo: Getty

The two were soon married in September 2014 with a stunning Venetian wedding. Less than three years later, the couple announced that Amal was expecting twins, and she gave birth to daughter Ella and son Alexander in June 2017. George gushed over Amal becoming a mother in 2018: "She is sort of this remarkable human being and now mother which is something, I suppose, you should assume she would be wonderful at as well," he said during an interview with David Letterman per Town & Country. "But, when you see it in person, it makes you feel incredibly proud and also incredibly small." Photo: Getty

In their official engagement interview back in 2010, Kate admitted that when she first met the royal, she "went bright red... and scuttled off feeling very shy." However, those nerves didn't last long once the pair became close friends. While the two split for a short period of time in 2007, they ultimately realized they needed to be together. After their fairytale wedding in 2011, the two are now parents to three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Photo: Getty

Nearly 33 years later, the two are still together and more in love than ever. Although they were engaged in 1992, the two never officially married. However, heir long-term partnership is clearly working for them to last longer than many Hollywood marriages. In a 2015 segment that aired on the Own network, Stedman shared his feelings about being there for his other half. "I want her to succeed and be as successful as she possibly can, so I encourage that," he said. Photo: Getty

After meeting on the set of their film The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011, rumors swirled that Mendes and Gosling were dating. However, the two attempted to keep their relationship under wraps. It wasn't until People reported that Eva was pregnant with the couple’s first child, Esmeralda, in 2014 that their couple status was confirmed.

Over time, the couple has opened up more about each other and their adorable family. When Gosling won a Golden Globe Award for Lala Land, he dedicated his award to Mendes: "I'd like to try and thank one person properly and say that while I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences that I've ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second, and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer. If she hadn't had taken all of that on so that I could have this experience, it'd surely be someone else here other than me today. So sweetheart, thank you." Photo: Getty

"[Kutcher] just got out of a marriage. I got out of a long relationship. I was single and having the best time ever. I was totally dating, having a great time, and I was like, 'I'm never getting married.' He's like, 'Great, neither am I!' And we're like shaking hands on it and we're like, 'Life is great!' A year later, we're like, 'Tomorrow, let's get married.'" Today, the couple have two children together: Dimitri Portwood, 2, and Wyatt Isabelle, 4. Photo: Getty

However, in 2005, Kidman caught Keith Urban's eye at the G'Day USA gala. After some back and forth courting, the two Aussies became engaged and walked their first red carpet together at the 2006 Grammys. "I have a wife who is just from another planet," Urban told Rolling Stone in 2014. "She is so celestial. I say that I was born into her.

While Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell aren't technically married, their happy and long-lasting relationship (35 years and counting) speaks for itself. The two met on-set of the 1966 Disney film The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band. However, it wasn't until 1983 when Russell won over Hawn on the set of Swing Shift. "Look, I’ve said this for 34 years, I don’t think Goldie and I, in real terms, are any different than any other couple; we go through all the same things," Russell said in a 2018 interview with People. "But the important thing of who the two people are in a relationship is what you have to deal with. There’s gonna be ups and downs and sideways and everything else. I just think after 34 years you’re gonna have experienced every emotion that you can together." Photo: Getty

If Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson didn't fall in love, Hanks might not have won an Oscar for Forest Gump. "I view my wife as my lover, and we have a bond that goes beyond words like wife or girlfriend or mother," Hanks told Oprah Winfrey in 2001.

When one of the most acclaimed actresses in Hollywood marries the head of fashion conglomerate Kering, the term power couple is almost an understatement. While they do not shy away from industry events, the two prefer to keep their relationship low-key. "It's such a romantic, amazing story, but it is mine. I don't want to vulgarize it by making it into a story to make myself interesting," Hayek told Town & Country in her April 2019 cover story. "[He's] the best husband in the world. I get to be who I am with him, and I don't feel that somebody tries to limit me." Photo: Getty

With two decades of marriage under their belts, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas know a thing or two about maintaining a successful marriage. During a recent conversation on the Today Show, Zeta-Jones kept it real with the morning co-hosts. “Both Michael and I have a very open relationship,” she said. “When you have kids that didn’t ask to be born into a world where [the marriage is] scrutinized or looked into. You’ve got to be open and honest and share things that probably people at the drug store wouldn’t share over the counter.” Photo: Getty

Leslie and Judd have been together for over two decades, which may seem like a lifetime to others in Hollywood. However, for their first date, the actress "didn’t realize it was a date” initially. "I kept trying to cancel and he was like ‘No, I really want you to come to this basketball game’ and so I was like ah fine,” she revealed on LIVE with Kelly and Michael in 2016 (via The Knot). Since marrying in 1997, the two have two daughters together, Maude and Iris. The key to a successful marriage, according to Apatow? "It's easier if you marry Leslie [Mann]. That's advice that's harder for others to take, I guess. We get up on Sunday mornings and we watch Oprah's SuperSoul Sunday and it cleanses us, he told Vice. "We learn things and then we try to apply them and then by the end of the week, we've forgotten everything we saw and we watch a new one." Pretty good advice, if you ask us. Photo: Getty

After only a few months of dating, Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra got engaged in August 2018, then married in a series of elaborate ceremonies that December. Chopra herself admitted that she didn't expect things to get so serious. “I didn’t think this would be what it turned out to be, and that’s maybe my fault,” she said at an event. “I judged a book by its cover.

The actresses shocked the world when they started dating in 2015, but neither of them is fazed by their 32-year age gap. “I think there’s a greater appreciation of time and what you have together and what’s important, and it can make the little things seem very small,” Paulson said of their age difference.

If there were an award for Most Supportive Husband, Alexis Ohanian would probably win it. The Reddit cofounder married Serena Williams in 2017, and he's been by her side ever since. When he's not sitting courtside at her tennis matches, you can probably find him gushing over her on social media. "She has the biggest heart," Ohanian told Humans of New York. "Everyone sees her success as an athlete, but all of that is layered on the size of her heart. She gives 100% of herself to everything she does." Photo: Getty

But despite the less-than-ideal situation, Union decided to take a chance on Wade. "When I met Dwyane, his résumé looked like crap: athlete, going through a divorce, nine years younger than me," Union told Glamour. "None of that screamed, 'Let's have a lasting relationship.' Then, after I had a heart-crushing breakup with yet another immature jerk, I thought, it can't be any worse if I date a fetus [referring to their age difference]." In December 2013, Wade recruited his three sons to help him propose to Union, and since then, they've been living happily ever after. Photo: Getty

Katy Perry is pretty much the definition of extra, so naturally Orlando Bloom went all out for his proposal to her. After three years of dating on and off, Orlando popped the question on Valentine's Day 2019. "I got on a helicopter, and he asked me to marry him and then we landed on this building and then went downstairs and my family and friends were there and the most flowers you've ever seen," Perry told English radio host Roman Kemp. According to a People source, the two plan to have an intimate ceremony before the end of the year. Photo: Getty

These two hardly need an introduction, as the Clintons are a true political powerhouse. Their 40-year-plus relationship has seen some major wins and a few hard spots, but together they have overcome these roadblocks. "There were times that I was deeply unsure about whether our marriage could or should survive," she writes. "But on those days, I asked myself the questions that mattered to me: Do I still love him? And can I still be in this marriage without becoming unrecognizable to myself—twisted by anger, resentment, or remoteness? The answers were always yes," Hillary wrote of her husband in her third memoir What Happened. Photo: Getty
