They dominate headlines with their fairytale weddings and glamorous red carpet appearances, and cause a splash with their epic love stories and occasional break-ups.
Most famous celebrity couples offer the perfect inspiration and we can’t seem to get enough of their romances.
While it’s rare to find a Hollywood couple who stick together ’till death does them part, there are a few that remain the ultimate couple goals like Beyoncé and Jay-Z or Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
Some popular duos are not everlasting and end up going their separate ways. That said, they still lived through a loving relationship and made everyone swoon over their romantic bond. Together, they even raked up millions and had the world scrutinizing their every kiss and cuddle.
So, which popular couples have swept the public off their feet? We’ve gone through history to find a list of the best and most famous celebrity couples in the world (in no particular order):
1. Beyoncé and Jay-Z
Monthly Google searches: 49,500
Years together: 21 years
Net worth (combined): $2.5 billion
Beyoncé met her beau when she was just 18, but the pair didn’t get together until their collaboration on 03 Bonnie & Clyde in 2002. They tied the knot when Beyoncé was 25 in a secret wedding, and since then have kept much of their relationship under wraps.
That hasn’t stopped Bey and Jay from being one of the most famous couples in showbiz, though. Gossip has been rife since the release of Beyoncé’s visual album, Lemonade, where she let us in on what happened behind closed doors – including Jay’s infidelity and her forgiveness.
In 2017, the power couple welcomed their twins (Rumi and Sir) into the world and have since been happier than ever.
2. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
Monthly Google searches: 165,000

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have had the ultimate fairytale romance with periods of breakups and heartache in between. Their love story dates back to 2002 when they first met on the set of the movie Gigli.
J.Lo was still married to Cris Judd at the time, but a year later, she divorced and ‘Bennifer’ became an item. Within a few months, they were engaged, but all wasn’t well in paradise – in 2003, Jennifer and Ben postponed their wedding, and by 2004 they’d broken up.
The two celebs eventually went their separate ways (always remaining friends) and had separate marriages and children, but they found their way back to each other in 2021. Giving their love a second chance, Bennifer finally tied the knot in Vegas in 2022, and are now continuing to live happily ever after with their blended family.
3. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

Anyone who dreams of ‘the perfect relationship’ has eyes on Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. After eleven years of marriage, the popular couple constantly show their appreciation for one another, while also adding a little humor into their social affections. Proving that humor is key to a happy relationship, Blake and Ryan famously regularly roast each other on Instagram with no hard feelings.
They clearly still keep their romance alive, though, as seen through their red carpet appearances and well, long lasting years together. After a secret wedding and four beautiful children together, the funny couple is stronger than ever. With no dramas or scandalous moments in their relationship, Blake and Ryan truly are one of the best couples in the world.

These cute lovebirds met when they were just teens, sharing their first date at a pancake shop in 2010. Selena Gomez who was just 16 at the time, denied any rumors of them dating and insisted they were just friends. By February 2011 though, Jelena finally admitted they were a couple, and made their debut appearance at Vanity Fair’s Oscar party.
After two years of dating, the famous celebrity couple split and entered a whirlwind of publicized make-ups and break-ups, until they were officially back on in 2017. In 2018, however, Justin and Selena broke up for good and went their separate ways.
From sharing videos of them dancing together, selfies of them kissing, and writing songs about one another, Beliebers and Selenators alike are still crazy about Jelena until this very day.

Both iconic Hollywood actors in their prime, Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder were the ultimate couple throughout the 90s. Just five months after meeting, the pair got engaged in 1990, and the media couldn’t turn their eyes away from their relationship – or Johnny’s tattoo that said “Winona Forever”.
Although they were “Edward Scissorhands and Kim”, this couple were so much the object of affection, that they were considered to play “Jack and Rose” in Titanic. However, three years after getting engaged, the popular couple split up due to media interference.
The Stranger Things actress was so heartbroken that she admitted to nearly setting herself on fire. That said, Winona has always kept Johnny in the highest regard and ran to his aid to defend him in his court case with his ex-wife Amber Heard, who accused him of beating her.
6. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith
Monthly Google searches: 3,600
Years together: 27 years
Net worth (combined): $400 million

Monthly Google searches: 74,000
Years together: 8 years
Net worth (combined): $1.9 Billion
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian met in 2003, and while Kanye was quite open about his affections for Kim, she didn’t return the same feelings until they started dating in 2012. Later that year, they announced that they were expecting their first child together (North West).
In October 2013, we witnessed the most spectacular proposal when Kanye rented out San Francisco’s AT&T stadium to propose to his girlfriend in front of all of her friends and family. They then got married in an extravagant wedding in Italy the following year.
Since then, the pair welcomed another three children together (Saint, Chicago and Psalm). Just a few years later, and there were signs of trouble in paradise. Kim struggled with Kanye’s controversial behavior and Ye would feud with other celebs, leading to an unhealthy relationship between the two. The beauty mogul decided to file for divorce in 2021.

Bruce and Demi later welcomed two more girls; Scout in 1991 and Tallulah in 1994. Their busy careers, however, took a toll on their marriage and they finally parted in 1998.

Their relationship was hyper-scrutinized following several gorgeous red carpet displays and on-screen appearances (remember Will Colbert from Friends?!) and in 2004, Jen talked about wanting to start a family with her husband.
Brad had other plans, however, after meeting Angelina Jolie and falling madly in love with her that same year.

After getting married in 2013 and having two children together (Luna and Miles), the top duo suffered heartbreak after miscarrying their third child. John and Chrissy proved that real love lasts through sadness, though, as they continue to stand strong to this day. Thankfully, they welcomed a third child (Esti) in 2022. Fun fact?

After dating for two years, Chris had beaten Rihanna and left her bruised during one of their fights, making their break-up one of the most publicized in the world.
Despite Chris’ controversial behavior, the duo rekindled their romance in 2013 with Rihanna defending their relationship – “It’s different now. We don’t have those types of arguments anymore. We talk about shit. We value each other. We know exactly what we have now, and we don’t want to lose that.”

Meghan was made to conform to the royal rules, but despite that, her love for Harry was still very much alive. In May 2019, the pair tied the knot in a televised ceremony at Westminster Abbey followed by a private party, and welcomed their firstborn Archie in 2019. As time progressed, the couple became more and more unhappy with the institution and tabloid news, which forced them to give up their royal titles and flee to America for a more “private life”.
