The cutest celebrity couples convey different things to different people, when I asked my family group chat for some examples my dad immediately said Aljaz and Janet from Strictly Come Dancing were the cutest dancing couple to have graced our screens.
My grandma listed Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor who were the original ‘IT’ couple and got married to each other twice in their lives.
The idea of the celebrity couple has been prevalent within history, I’d like to think that Cleopatra and Julius Caesar would have been on the front cover of Vogue if they were alive today.
I find the obsession of celebrity couples fascinating, especially with the romanticism we often fixate upon them especially reflecting on how we view our relationships with our own partners.
Celebrity couples should not be looked to as a pinnacle of ‘perfection’
Whether it be Beanie Feldstein and Bonnie Chance Roberts or Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, there is a fascination for these relationships to reflect how we feel as a society.
When asking myself who the ‘perfect’ celebrity couple was, my mind immediately went to Tom Holland and Zendaya. This couple became public in 2021 after the paparazzi took photos of them at the end of COVID-19. The two have often been spotted in public with one another and sharing pictures of each other’s projects supporting one another’s careers and endeavours.
The couple have often kept their relationship private, especially with the amount of scrutiny the public, paparazzi and press have within their life. Still, the devotion that the two of these people have for each other is abundantly clear.
Celebrity couples should not be looked to as a pinnacle of ‘perfection’ especially as we cannot ever achieve perfection within our own relationships. Celebrities like us are humans too and do not have perfect relationships.
