Hard-nosed journalist Anderson Cooper is as serious about his job as he is about the person he’s dating. Cooper has been with Benjamin Maisani since 2009. Though the two do not share the same passion – as Cooper is a journalist and Maisani is an owner of a gay bar – such details didn’t stop them from having a loving relationship. At least at first.

It may have looked like they just couldn’t tie the knot, even though the two reportedly owned a home in Connecticut. Eventually, it became clear that these two weren’t as solid as they seemed. Unfortunately, the two broke up in March 2018. Since then, Cooper has reportedly been involved with a 33-year-old doctor from Texas! Nice.

Luke Evans has been in an on-again and off-again relationship. Though some would rather not have this kind of relationship, some do thrive in such an emotional environment the way Luke Evans does. This Welsh actor doesn’t seem to mind that he is in such a relationship with Jon Kortajarena.

It helps that Kortajarena doesn’t seem to care he is in an on-again, off-again relationship as long as he is able to be with the love of his life, nothing else matters eventually.

Thanks to Ellen DeGeneres and her show, Ellen, the world was able to witness when singer Ricky Martin confessed that he is in a loving relationship with a painter of Swedish origin. Specifically, the painter’s name is Jwan Yosef.

Fans of the series, Firefly as well as Serenity, got the surprise of their lives when its star Sean Maher confessed his being homosexual back in 2011. Still, being able to come out was an event Maher had to do for his own peace of mind.

Chris Colfer and Will Sherrod have a relationship that was kept under wraps for quite some time. However, this detail didn’t stop the duo from continuing their love for each other. Pictures of them enjoying each other’s company confirm their genuine affection for each other.

Plus, it is easy to see how much Colfer is indeed extremely happy about being with his partner, Sherrod. Thanks to his emotional high, he was even able to perform the role of Kurt Hummel excellently.

The couple who does the same things together, stay together. This statement at least implies that shared passions are an important key in keeping one’s relationship alive. Another couple who share the same love for their work is Andrew Rannells and Mike Doyle.

The two are both actors. However, Rannells also voice acts and sings. He is so good, his theatre performance was awarded a Tony. Meanwhile, Doyle, besides acting, also directs, screen writes, and produces. Being in the same industry has helped them to stay together and they have been so since 2011.

Meredith Baxter is popular thanks to her memorable roles in the sitcom “Family Ties.” Talented as she is, her performances helped her earn five Emmy nominations. However, she wasn’t always a homosexual. Baxter used to be married and was so four times.

However, when she realized that she was indeed gay, she loudly and proudly exclaimed it back in 2009. Prior to her announcement though, she was in a relationship with a general contractor named Nancy Locke back in 2005. Eight years later, the couple tied the knot.

Victor Garber is an actor you’d least expect to come out but here he is confessing to the public how much of a homosexual he is, and is proud of it too. This talented thespian has been seen in Godspell, Titanic, and Sweeney Todd.

Despite his long career, it was only in 2012 when he revealed his sexuality. Three years later, Garber’s Instagram account was filled with well-wishers when he posted that he got married to Rainier Andreesen, a model.

Fans of the reality series “The Biggest Loser” probably remember Anton Gutierrez – a contestant who joined the show in November 2015. To everyone’s surprise, Gutierrez eventually had a relationship with the show’s personal trainer, Bob Harper.

This revelation lead Harper himself to reveal his sexuality during the show’s 15th season, specifically the 7th episode. His public outing was prompted by a contestant who was having difficulty coming out to his family as a homosexual.

Maulik, one of the stars from “30 Rock,” came out about his sexuality back in 2013. At the same time, he also declared his love for Ryan Corvaia – a chef/caterer Maulik has long been in a relationship with for nine years.

Their love for each other was so strong, the two eventually tied the knot in 2014 at the most romantic place in India – the Taj Mahal. The couple was engaged in the same year too.

Derek J is a hairstylist who is loud and proud not only of his sexuality but his boyfriend. He wanted to flaunt the love of his life on Instagram that he posted a picture of his boyfriend’s ripped body. As is natural in social media, anyone and everyone was sure to pounce on it.

So when they did, one of whom stated that his partner was “too fine to be gay”, Derek J offered a response by comparing the comment to something like ‘too cute to be black’ or ‘too cute to be fat’. This proves that Derek J is more than ready to defend the love of his life.

This list will never run out of couples whose shared passions caused them to stay together, happily ever after. Antonio Douthit-Boyd as well as Kirven Douthit are dancers who have an interest to move their bodies to the beat of the music.

Their love for dance was evident when they met at the Alvin Ailey Dance Company. Since then, the two decided to make their union more solid by tying the knot. Now, they do not tire of traveling the world to dance their hearts away.

Monifah Carter is an R&B star who is loud and proud about being gay. She is one of the few African American lesbians currently seen on reality television. She is also proud of her relationship with Terez Mychelle – the two have been in a long-term relationship.

Eventually, the couple decided to get married in April 2014.  Prior to their marriage, the couple prioritized their feelings more than the process it took to legally or technically solidify their union. They believed that being committed to each other was more important.

Darren Young, a superstar of the WWE, shocked the masculine world of wresting when he publicly announced that he was gay back in 2013. If that was surprising, he continued on to profess that he was in a relationship with Nick Villa for two years.

Darren Young’s intentions for his revelations have been interpreted as noble. It also empowered those who still keep their sexuality under wraps. But in “The Ellen Show,” Young confessed that he came out due to him wanting to bring his boyfriend to WWE events without having to explain himself much.

This is another undeniable proof that the best relationships are those who have a shared passion for what they love to do. Quincy Gossfield and Deondray Gossfield are independent filmmakers and producers for television.

Besides working together, the two have also been together for numerous decades. Even Queen Latifah was witness to their union as she officiated their marriage during the 2014 Grammy Awards while the song “Same Love” was being performed.

This remarkable couple is another example of a shared passion they are working together to help bring to fruition. Bishop OC Allen and First Gentleman Rashad Burgess operate an Atlanta church that is welcoming of all people.

Their Vision Church accepts all genders, sexual preferences, orientations, races, and backgrounds. They promote and practice equality the way it ought to be. As a couple, they have been happily married and have two kids.

If you got it, flaunt it. Thus that is what Instagram couple Kordale Lewis and Kaleb Anthony did. Using their social media accounts, they featured their own love story as well as the day-to-day lives of their three biological kids.

Their Instagram account eventually helped them become viral that a luxury fashion brand in Sweden caught their eye. The fashion house decided to create a campaign around their family. Eventually, they were touted as the first-ever gay black family represented by an ultra-high-end fashion brand.

Some people prefer to keep their privacy than allow it to be out in the open. They treasure their private time rather than share information about themselves. Take Guillermo Diaz – the popular star of the series Scandal.

Diaz has professed that he is indeed gay, and openly too. He also has been enjoying a committed relationship with a significant other that he has not named or identified – or would even like to give a clue of. But love is allowing them be so let them be.

As time and history has shown, the best kind of couple seem to be those who indeed share an interest and passion both can relate with. Another example of such a couple is Octavius and Jamal Terry-Sims. The former is a fashion designer while the latter is a director and choreographer.

Thanks to their shared interests, the two were able to create GROOM – a full service tuxedo lounge specially made for grooms and groomsmen. Besides this project, the two have publicly declared their affection for each other when they were hitched during the 2014 Grammy Awards while the song “Same Love” was being performed by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis featuring Madonna.

It was on Broadway when couple Rob Marshall and John DeLuca met. That was 1982. Both were actors trying to audition for a coveted role in a musical titled Boogie-Woogie Rumble of a Dream Deferred. Their audition was fortunately successful.

Both actors got the part they wanted. Plus, the better part of the story was that the two of them fell in love with each other – the rest was history. Who doesn’t want a similar experience? Love can indeed sprout in the most unexpected places.

This couple is another example of two people sharing their passions. It also proves that love is best experienced when two can become one in mind and soul. Thom Browne is a fashion designer who has made dresses for former First Lady Michelle Obama back in 2013.

He then partnered with Andrew Bolton, another fashion designer, to create more beautiful designs. Eventually, their work lead to a companionship that went beyond job responsibilities. It was a same-sex relationship that is lead by the heart and soul.

Everyone has heard of secret weddings. But not many may know that secret marriage actually exist. That is exactly what happened to Matt Bomer and Simon Halls. The two were secretly married for three whole years.

Not many people knew of their marriage and their wedding was attended only by both parties’ close family members and friends. Would you do the same thing if you were in their place?

Sharing your passion with someone is the best kind of love there is. Being able to share love and your passion with someone is simply heaven. So when Jessica Rankin met Julie Mehretu and they were able to talk about their interests, the two knew they were onto something.

Eventually, they realized they are better couples and thus decided they were indeed each other’s perfect match. Both love painting and art. They can definitely paint their love for each other forever ever after.

Love needs work, but it doesn’t have to make you work too hard. Queen Latifah learned that the hard way when she partnered with her personal trainer, Jeanette Jenkins. But it seems to be too hard for both that it went through a few struggles.

The two began to date in 2002. They loved each other so much they decided to be engaged in 2008. Alas, it seems they were not meant to be. The two eventually broke up in 2014.

Meshell Ndegeocello creates music the same way love blooms – mysterious yet beautifully so. When she made her debut album titled “Plantation Lullabies”, many wonder if such music was the reason for someone to fall in love with her.

The answer to this question is highly likely yes. Sadly, even though they co-parent, their differences got in the way and Ndegeocello and Rebecca Walker had to end their once beautiful partnership.

You may have heard of Paris Barclay. He has been seen in impressive television series such as CSI, ER, and The West Wing. At least, his name was and not his likeness. Barclay has directed episodes of these series.

However, it is highly likely that he prefers his name to be attached to the love of his life – partner Christopher Mason. The two have been together for a decade and are still going strong.

Work and love are traditionally different entities in itself. Never the twain shall meet, or should they? Jenna Wolfe and Stephanie Gosk seem to defy such an expectation when the two met while working at NBC.

Though both initially had no intent to begin a relationship, that is what their being together eventually lead to. The two got married thus proving that love knows no boundaries.

Bill T Jones was almost at the end of his rope when he thought he will never find someone to love. Bjorn Amelan was in the same predicament. But lo and behold, life has in store good surprises for everyone. When Jones and Amelan met, they were in for a treat.

The two eventually fell in love and are still together. Their relationship proves that love is indeed mysterious and is full of fun surprises.

No one can stop love from happening. Not even Cupid or the courts can halt two people from falling in love. Beth Ditto and her partner Kristin Ogata showed to the world how true this statement is by tying the knot in Hawaii via a wedding ceremony, that was unofficial.

Love was enough to keep them together apparently. However, after 17 months, they decided to go to Oregon to formally acknowledge their union thanks to the same-sex laws in the state.

Saturday  Night Live has a slew of comedians who are loud and proud about their sexuality. Terry Sweeney is one such individual who was able to meet the love of his life via the show. He not only experienced professional success via SNL, he also found love.

Sweeney met Lanier Laney via the long running show. Since then, the two have been inseparable. They are now partners and continue to support each other’s craft.

Not many know of a program called “parenting partnership”. But apparently, such a thing exists. Specifically, German arts administrator Jorn Weisbrodt is in such a program along with Rufus Wainright, a composer who also pens songs and sings.

The couple have a daughter under the program which also includes Lorca Cohen – the couple’s friend. The program may be likened to a co-parenting scheme that is more structured.

Love is indeed blind and knows no business affiliations. So when Derrence Washington got married to the founder and former CEO of Gawker, Nick Denton, sparks flew. That was 2014. Now, the couple is considered as one of the industry’s powerful couple.

Their power not just lies in the realms of business, there is also power in the love they have of each other. The couple wed in 2014 at the American Museum of Natural History’s Hayden Planetarium. The two were in a relationship for a year prior to their wedding.

Mario Cantone and Jerry Dixon’s relationship started at a time when being open about their sexuality was frowned upon. Though they have been together since 1991, the couple didn’t yet make their relationship official until years later.

Lee Daniels is the producer of the series Empire. Despite her busy schedule, she manages to start a relationship with Jayel Fisher, a freelance stylist. Though they have yet to officially tie the knot, the two have been together for six years.

Daniels has long been open about his sexuality. However, he explained that he prefers to be called sexually fluid than gay – the same way Empire actor Jussie Smollett also refer to himself as sexually fluid.

Could it be that Kristin Stewart’s relationship then with fellow Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson was a ruse to get people to buy more movie tickets?  Considering that Kristen Stewart is a lesbian, how could she fall in love with Pattinson? Either way, all is water under the bridge now.

Kristen Stewart is now dating Stela Maxwell, an Irish model for Victoria’s Secret Angel. This couple is so pretty to look at they could serve as everyone’s couple goals.

When actor Jonathan Bennett met television host James Vaughan, the two are so smitten with each other they cannot seem to contain themselves. Similar to giddy teens, the couple decided to make their feelings known publicly via social  media.

Thus, Bennett started posting gushy posts about his affection towards Vaughan and vice versa. As everyone knows, when feelings start to appear on one’s social media posts, it is one way to make a relationship official.

Love is timeless. So when Jonathan Adler met Simon Dooman, the two were smitten and have never parted with each other since. That was 1994. Fast forward to 2008 when the couple decided to make their relationship more solid in the legal sense.

British model Jessica Clark is successful in her field. Besides her modeling job, she also serves as host in her own vlog called Lesbian Love which can be seen on the website, afterellen.com. When she met Lacey Stone, a fitness professional, the two were smitten and eventually got married in 2010.

Sadly, despite being together, the two abruptly ended their relationship in 2012. Lacey Stone continues to train celebrities and individuals who are intent to have a sculpted revenge body.

It is not only because Don Roos and Dan Bucatinsky have similar sounding first names that make them look as if they are perfectly made for each other, Don and Dan are genuinely in love. Bucatinsky is a popular actor, producer, and writer.

Meanwhile, Roos is a screenwriter. Being in the same business helped them understand the demands of each other’s professions. This may be the reason why they have been together for so long. The two met in 1992 and later got married in 2008. Theirs is a happy family as they now have two kids, Jonah and Eliza.

Saturday Night Live comedian Kate McKinnon is a comedy genius. However, she makes sure her love life is something she considers as no laughing matter. She was in a serious relationship with Jackie Abbott, an independent movie actress.
