Love Wins: Same-Sex Hollywood Couples that Are Out and Proud

ELLEN DEGENERES AND PORTIA DE ROSSI

Popular for her entertaining television show, Ellen DeGeneres is one of the Hollywood figures that champion vocally for LGBT rights. Her wife of nearly ten years, Portia De Rossi, is an actress and a model who has made countless appearances on DeGeneres’ show. It’s no wonder audiences admire them, as they show how head-over-heels they are for each other, on-screen and off-screen.

Starting off their relationship in 2004, the couple weren’t excluded from the struggles of being an LGBT couple. But despite the rumors of the couple calling a divorce attorney, DeGeneres and Rossi made through all of the issues and finally got married in 2008.

NEIL PATRICK HARRIS AND DAVID BURTKA

How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris is married to the talented David Burtka, who appeared in the same television show. After meeting in their mid-twenties, they first started hanging out platonically, going out and talking, day and night. After months of getting to know each other, the two later came out publicly and admitted to being in a relationship.

With their investments and credit cards intact, the two got engaged – secretly – for five years. They made it official in 2014 and now have two children. It seems the couple is as strong as ever, showing no signs of a possible separation!

CARA DELEVINGNE AND ANNIE CLARK

Bagging Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards in 2012 and 2014, Cara Delevingne is a model with love life as interesting as her credit reports. Her relationship with musician Annie Clark, better known as St. Vincent, was loved by many and followed by numerous entertainment news companies.

Sadly, the duo hit a rough patch and called it quits in 2016. But that didn’t stop them from collaborating on Clark’s most recent album Masseduction. In both their interviews, the two were open about their ended relationship and were often telling viewers that they will “always be friends.”

JESSE TYLER FERGUSON AND JUSTIN MIKITA

Jesse Ferguson’s career skyrocketed thanks to his role as Mitchell Pritchett on Modern Family. In 2013, he married Justin Mikita, a successful attorney. Describing their relationship as the “greatest adventure of my life,” Ferguson continues to be open about their marriage, both online and offline.

The two have consistently made things interesting for them, even on the night of their wedding. Instead of asking for traditional wedding gifts, the couple asked their guests to donate to marriage equality organization Tie The Knot. With hearts that are both fighting for equal rights, it’s no wonder that Ferguson and Mikita are staying as strong and in-love as they did when they first started dating.

ELTON JOHN AND DAVID FURNISH

It’s been a century of love for English rock legend Elton John and his filmmaker husband David Furnish – and they now have two sons. Their relationship has always been in the limelight for good reasons, as they regularly attended events and fundraisers with their hands interlocked. The couple entered into a civil partnership back in 2005. As soon as same-sex marriage became legal in 2014, they converted their union to a marriage on the same date of their partnership, which was on December 21.

How do they keep their love alive? They write love notes to each other regularly. The couple gives credit to this ritual when asked how they make their marriage work.

RICKY MARTIN AND JWAN YOSEF

Puerto Rican singer, actor, and author Ricky Martin couldn’t have chosen a better way to announce his engagement with painter Jwan Yosef than through The Ellen DeGeneres Show. After six months of dating, the two both knew they wanted a future together, despite Martin’s hesitance to face his sexuality for years.

Later confirming their marriage, Martin is using his platform and relationship to inspire the LGBT community. Now the duo has kids and is striving hard to make them proud and confident. With love and commitment like theirs, it won’t be long before they start investing in home insurance.

GEORGE TAKEI AND BRAD ALTMAN

Inspiring LGBT advocates George Takei and actor-writer boyfriend Brad Altman stayed true to their commitment, as they dated for 27 years before finally exchanging vows. Prior to their relationship, the two have been actively participating in LGBT organizations and they also met at a running club. While they weren’t open about their sexuality to their peers yet, the two eventually came out and decided to enter a commitment after hitting it off from the start.

In 2009, the couple married in a multicultural ceremony at the Japanese American National Museum. They might have used their investment money as their ceremony featured a Buddhist priest, Native American wedding bands, and a Japanese Koto harp.

LANCE BASS AND MICHAEL TURCHIN

In 2011, Former ‘NSYNC member Lance Bass began dating painter and actor Michael Turchin, who he met at a birthday party in Palm Springs. They started with a quiet, private relationship filled with movie date nights and little adventures. After the long dating period, the couple got engaged twice, Lance Bass did two wedding proposals.

Bass and Turchin finally got married in 2014 and their ceremony was broadcasted on Lance Loves Michael: The Lance Bass Wedding. Being the first same-sex couple to get married on cable TV, it seems that the two are keeping the divorce attorney away.

CYNTHIA NIXON AND CHRISTINE MARINONI

Marriage Equality advocate Cynthia Nixon is famous for appearing in The Sex and The City. Previously in a long-term relationship with her male sweetheart, Nixon had two children and had never dated a woman prior to Marinoni. Despite the hesitance on Nixon’s part, the two eventually went public with their relationship and were met with support from family and friends.

The two got engaged and became parents to a son in 2011 and eventually tied the knot in 2012. They’re both dedicated to improving public schools in New York, alongside their LGBT initiatives. It’s no wonder that these two are blessed with their relationship, as they selflessly give 100 percent of their effort and investment money to causes and advocacies.

TOM FORD AND RICHARD BUCKLEY

It was no less than love at first sight for American fashion designer Tom Ford and his journalist husband Richard Buckley. The two met at a fashion show in 1986 and have been dating since then. After three decades and a four-year-old son, Ford and Buckley remain a power couple that fans still love.

After same-sex marriage was legalized in New York in July 2011, the couple soon tied the knot. However, the two kept it a secret until their revelation in 2014. While no one is sure of their exact date of marriage, it’s certain that these two are prioritizing their happiness to the highest degree.

WANDA SYKES AND ALEX SYKES

Comedian Wanda Sykes dated her now-wife Alex Niedbalski in 2006. For most of their relationship, they kept things between them private and quiet. In 2008, the two finally got married and things have been going great for the couple.

A year after the ceremony, Alex soon gave birth to the couple’s first kids – twins Lucas Claude and Olivia Lou Sykes. They have been inseparable ever since as Alex was always spotted alongside Wanda in most award shows and parties. While Alex and Wanda have always been quiet about how they work on their relationship and money management, we’re certain their journey has been nothing short of beautiful.

MICHAEL KORS AND LANCE LEPERE

Fashion power couple Michael Kors and Lance Lepere were reportedly in a hurry to get married as soon as New York’s new law permitting gay marriage came out. They exchanged vows in 2011 in a beach wedding at Dune Beach in Long Island, New York. They must have felt relieved that they didn’t need an attorney to defend their relationship anymore. The couple first met when Lepere joined Kors’ company as an intern. Despite the glaring 12-year age difference, the two immediately liked each other and started dating not long after and eventually tied the knot. The rest, as they say, is history.

JIM PARSONS AND TODD SPIEWAK

Four-time Emmy Award-winning actor Jim Parsons never thought that his wedding with Todd Spiewak would be much more meaningful for him than he imagined it to be. After all, they have been together as a couple for more than 14 years before deciding to finally tie the knot because, as the star of The Big Bang Theory shared his honest opinion that they don’t care about the act of it that much. Now that they are married and probably looking at investment planning, Parsons feels that his legal union with talk show host Spiewak is “sort of close to eternal”.

LILY TOMLIN AND JANE WAGNER

In this age of gadgets, credit cards and frappuccinos, where everything seems to be fleeting, finding a relationship that withstood 42 years of sunshine and storm somehow restores our trust in the power of love. Such is the case with talented couple Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner, and they were honored with a joint star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars in 2012. The pair wrote several acclaimed pieces together including The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, Moment By Moment, Modern Scream, and The Incredible Shrinking Woman, to name a few. They finally got married in 2013.

MELISSA ETHERIDGE AND LINDA WALLEM

Melissa Etheridge and Linda Wallem were longtime friends when they fell in love with each other while jointly taking care of Etheridge’s children, Bailey Jean Cypher, Johnnie Rose Etheridge, Miller Steven Etheridge, and Beckett Cypher. When Melissa realized that she and Linda were growing fond of each other, she thought to herself, “We were like a married couple without the benefits, so why not have the benefits!?” The couple started dating in 2010, got engaged in 2013, and finally exchanged vows in 2014. Now they share everything from taking care of plumbing services to discussing Linda’s opinion about her work.

ELLEN PAGE AND SAMANTHA THOMAS

During a red carpet event for her movie with Julianne Moore, Freeheld, actress Ellen Page came out to the public about her relationship with artist Samantha Thomas. The timing of their coming out couldn’t have been more perfect, as the movie tackled a lesbian couple’s struggle to fight for their legal rights, with a lawyer on board. Since then, Page has been very vocal about her deep love for her girlfriend, Thomas and about her staunch support for the LGBT community as well. During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she said: “To be shooting the movie so soon after coming out was some of the most joy I’ve ever felt on a film set.”

MILEY CYRUS AND KAITLYNN CARTER

Announcing separation from their respective husbands in the same month of August, Miley Cyrus and Kaitlynn Carter appeared to have found solace in each other’s company. Very shortly after the break-ups, Cyrus and Carter were reportedly spotted locking lips and making out in Italy. This sparked rumors of an intimate liaison between the two, followed by subsequent public sightings of them holding hands, and getting cozy on different occasions. They were even said to have moved in together. However, in the same whirlwind turn of events, the rumored relationship was cut short when a source allegedly revealed to some publications that the two have split. Thankfully, not even these rumors can bring their careers to bankruptcy.

CHELY WRIGHT AND LAUREN BLITZER

As one of the first major American country artists to come out gay publicly in 2010, Chely Wright was not free from the usual challenges and struggles of an LGBTQ community member. In fact, even though she knew at age eight that she was a lesbian, she hid it in fear of rejection and contempt, believing then that her sexual orientation was immoral to some degree. It was between 2004 and 2006 when she started coming out to her family and close friends. In April 2011, Wright announced her engagement to Lauren Blitzer, an LGBT rights advocate. They got married shortly after the announcement.

SAM SMITH AND BRANDON FLYNN

Singer Sam Smith considers his whirlwind romance with 13 Reasons Why star Brandon Flynn as his most significant relationship, as disclosed by a source close to Smith. Talks about their affair sparked when they were spotted kissing and walking arm-in-arm. Many people thought that the couple looked cute together. We believe that even their credit score increased because of this partnership. Sam gushed to V Magazine in January 2018 that he is “in a relationship right now and for the first time, I think I deserve to be happy.” He feels that he’s going to start writing some happy love songs soon.

SAMIRA WILEY AND LAUREN MORELLI

Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli first met on the set of the popular show Orange Is the New Black, where Wiley was the star while Morelli was a writer. Wiley revealed to BUST Magazine that she was initially attracted to Morelli’s mind even before they personally met. But it wasn’t all that easy at first, especially since Morelli was married to a man when they first met. Fast forward to four years later and the duo tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Palm Springs followed by a honeymoon in Disneyland and Italy. Their credit cards must have come in handy then.

SARA GILBERT AND LINDA PERRY

American actress, director, and producer Sara Gilbert and musician Linda Perry first became an item in 2011 and announced their engagement in 2013. They eventually got hitched in 2014 and became parents to their son, Rhodes Emilio Gilbert Perry, in 2015. Gilbert’s very busy schedule once caused strain to their family life and she had to quit CBS’s The Talk after being with the show for nine years. RadarOnline.com revealed that Gilbert had to choose between the show and her family. So ultimately, she had to increase their home security system and chose her family over the show.

RUPAUL AND GEORGES LEBAR

RuPaul’s Drag Race host RuPaul has been married since 2017 to rancher Georges LeBar, manager of a 60,000-acre investment ranch in Wyoming and South Dakota. The couple has been together for decades but they prefer to live a low-key personal life. RuPaul explained that since LeBar is busy managing his ranch, he doesn’t always join his husband during red carpet events. They enjoy their quiet time at the ranch, dressed in Western wear, and nobody cares. When RuPaul’s Drag Race won Emmy Awards for outstanding reality competition series, RuPaul gave a memorable speech at the podium with his husband proudly watching from the audience.

CHEYENNE JACKSON AND JASON LANDAU

Celebrity couple Cheyenne Jackson and Jason Landau have been together since 2013 and eventually exchanged vows in 2014. As part of investment planning, the couple recently listed their Hollywood Hills West home for sale at $2.088 million. They then bought a new property in the same area for $3.55 million. Once dubbed by the NY Post as “Broadway’s Sexiest Man”, Cheyenne Jackson was part of Glee and American Horror Story while Jason Landau, an actor turned entrepreneur, starred in American Dreams, A Personal Musical, Will & Grace, and Sunset Junction. They have two children, fraternal twins Evan and Willow, born on October 7, 2016.

ROBIN ROBERTS AND AMBER LAIGN

Good Morning America host Robin Roberts revealed that she met her longtime girlfriend, Amber Laign, on a blind date several years ago. When Roberts was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome, Laign didn’t leave her side, even when she underwent a successful bone marrow transplant. In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Roberts shared that her partner Laign doesn’t really like the spotlight. In fact, Laign was with her during the show but refused to come out. Laign is probably the type of woman who is more interested in taking care of the household and making sure that everything is in top condition from the roofing to the flooring.

BARRY MANILOW AND GARRY KIEF

Legendary pop icon Barry Manilow is a very popular figure, which he owes to his successful career that spans half a century. But not everyone knows that he has been in a 39-year relationship with manager Garry Kief. They got married in 2014 and Manilow revealed that Kief changed his life completely when they met in 1978. He added that Kief pulled him out of loneliness and treated him like a normal person instead of a superstar. In his own words, Manilow described Kief as “the smartest guy I’ve ever met in my life — and a great guy, too.” It’s easy to think that Manilow values his relationship with Kief more than his investment money.

NATE BERKUS AND JEREMIAH BRENT

Beautiful couple Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent, both interior designers by profession, got engaged in April 2013 after nearly a year of dating. They exchanged vows in 2014 in Manhattan. They have two children, a daughter Poppy Brent-Berkus and a son Oskar Michael Brent-Berkus, and they stay together in their family abode in Manhattan. Money management isn’t a problem for the stylish family as they have modeled for Banana Republic’s “True Outfitters” ads in different magazines including Rolling Stone and InStyle, among others. Even their Manhattan home has been featured in Architectural Design magazine, where the couple graced the cover along with their daughter Poppy.

DAVID HYDE PIERCE AND BRIAN HARGROVE

Married in 2008, David Hyde Pierce and Brian Hargrove were lucky to have wed just before the ban of gay marriage in California. Despite that, Pierce shared that they still experienced a little anxiety because of people saying that their marriage is not legal. Thankfully, the couple can very well afford the services of an attorney if needed. Pierce rose to fame when he played the character of Dr. Niles Crane in the popular series, Frasier, for which he received 11 Emmy nominations and bagged four wins. In 2007, Pierce opened up about his sexuality and his husband, Brian Hargrove, for the first time, which were topics he used to avoid.

SEAN MAHER AND PAUL MAHER

Another couple we all adore is Sean Maher and Paul Maher, who made their relationship public and surprised us all in 2011. Five years later, the two finally tied the knot and it’s obvious that they’ve been extremely in-love ever since. After their marriage, they both decided to build a house and start a family. With a son and daughter now joining their loving home, we’re sure the couple will be investing in high-end home security systems soon. Today, we’re all waiting for the next big news for this couple who has inspired many of us to believe in love!

RYAN MURPHY AND DAVID MILLER

Screenwriter, director, and producer Ryan Murphy is married to photographer David Miller. The wedding took place in 2011, 15 years after the two began dating. Soon after, they welcomed their first child, Logan, with the help of a surrogate. Indeed, the two were ecstatic and Logan was immediately followed by their second child Ford. There’s no denying that this couple is madly in love, albeit deciding to keep their relationship private. There’s not much to see about the lives of Murphy and Miller on social media but we’re certain that a divorce lawyer won’t be getting in touch with them soon.

LUKE EVANS AND JON KORTAJARENA

Like many couples, on and off relationships are pretty normal. For Luke Evans and Jon Kortajarena, it’s the same story. First rumored to have been dating in 2014, the couple later called it quits before getting back together in 2017. However, despite the seemingly messy relationship, Luke and Jon are now as strong as ever. Their status is evidenced by Evans’ cryptic Instagram post captioned, “What an amazing bunch of people. Thank you for an amazing birthday. Just missing one special someone… you know who you are.” It looks like it won’t be long before the two do an investment planning session for their future life together!

TIG NOTARO AND STEPHANIE ALLYNNE

Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne’s love story resembles a romantic comedy movie. The two hit it off after meeting at the set of In A World, and their relationship has been going great ever since. After months of dating, the two finally got engaged in January 2015. Eventually, they called in the moving company and tied the knot in October of the same year. The greatest blessing in their union is their twins, who were conceived through a surrogate. In the eyes of their fans, the success of both their careers and married life continues to inspire them to believe in love!

ALAN CUMMINGS AND GRANT SHAFFER

Before Alan Cummings and Grant Shaffer tied the knot in 2007 at the Old Royal Naval College, the two dated for two years. Their relationship is a testament of going against the world, as the two weren’t immune to the backlash and offensive comments. Still, Alan and Grant are staying as strong as ever and they give much credit to staying true to their commitment to each other. On their fifth anniversary, Alan tweeted, “I just got married.” Alongside a photo of him and Shaffer surrounded by family as they renewed their vows. For all of us, their relationship is a beautiful reminder that love is love.

BRITTNEY GRINER AND GLORY JOHNSON

It was in 2014 when Brittney Griner announced her engagement with fellow WNBA star Glory Johnson. However, it hasn’t been smooth sailing for the couple since then. Prior to getting arrested for charges of assault and disorderly conduct in 2015, the police also went to their home to break up a fight between the two. In 2015, Brittney and Griner eventually tied the knot. Sadly, bankruptcy led to their separation, with Brittney filing for an annulment just a month after Glory announced her pregnancy with the twins. Despite the rollercoaster of their relationship, we’re certain that Brittney and Glory have moved on with their lives.

RAVEN-SYMONE AND AZMARIE LIVINGSTON

Raven-Symone and AzMarie Livingston started dating back in 2012. Just like your average couple, they were fond of spending time together, binge-watching their favorite TV shows, and sharing how the day went for each other. But during interviews, Raven and AzMarie revealed how they prefer to enjoy the here and now, without looking so far ahead in their relationship and putting a certain degree of pressure on their current standing. Even questions about marriage were casually brushed off by the couple with a carefree statement that they will “get there one day”. So, fans and followers were not exactly surprised when the two decided to call it quits after three years of being together.

DANIEL FRANZESE AND JOSEPH BRADLEY PHILIPS

Hitting it off immediately, Daniele Franzese and Joseph Bradley Phillips became inseparable after their first meeting at a North Hollywood Starbucks. Daniele’s rep even revealed that after two weeks of dating, Daniele already knew that Joey was the one for him. He seemed so sure that he kept one of Joey’s rings so he could easily have it sized when the time came to propose. Seven months into their relationship, the lovestruck couple decided to move in together and eventually announced their engagement in 2016. But things turned sour and the couple called it quits after two years. We’re somehow relieved that they didn’t need to call a divorce attorney.

JONATHAN KNIGHT AND HARLEY RODRIGUEZ

After eight years of dating, Jonathan Knight proposed to his longtime boyfriend Harley Rodriguez. Knight shared in an interview that they have always considered themselves married but he wanted to make things official. He laughingly added how they didn’t know who would pop the question first since both of them are male. Tired of waiting on each other, Knight finally decided to seize the moment while they were on a vacation in Africa with their moms, who were as excited as the couple and helped plan the wedding and gave them advice on investment planning and money management.

TOM DALEY AND DUSTIN LANCE BLACK

Olympic bronze medalist Tom Daley came out in 2013, through a YouTube video where he shared how his whole world changed when he fell in love with another man.
