Lauren Morelli & Samira Wiley
Orange isn’t just the new black, it officially became red – valentine’s day red to be exact – due to the relationship it helped bloom. Lauren Morelli, the Orange Is The New Black writer, met Samira Wiley on set where the latter played a character named Poussey Washington. Since then, the two have been inseparable.
The two eventually became engaged in October 2016 and got married a year later. Morelli used to be married to a man but later realized she was gay while working on the set of the Orange Is The New Black series. She eventually got divorced and hasn’t looked back since.
Portia De Rossi & Ellen DeGeneres
Ellen and Portia are currently the most famous lesbian couple in Hollywood. Considered as a power couple, their relationship has stood the test of time. It was 2004 when they began dating. Portia was working as a model and actress, while Ellen was doing stand—up. After four years of being together, they tied the knot in a public wedding.
They also serve as a premier example of a relationship that is based on love – sans sexuality aside. Ellen has been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom due to her active role in propagating LGBT rights. Meanwhile, Portia is a philanthropist. The couple also love animals and work with animal rights advocates. Surely, Ellen and Portia can do no wrong.
David Burtka & Neil Patrick Harris
The star of the 90’s series, Doogie Howser, MD, Neil Patrick Harris, and chef David Burtka are everyone’s relationship goals. Both are successful in their own right. Harris is an accomplished actor, host, and Broadway star while Burtka similarly dabbled in the profession but is now focused on his other passion of cooking. Though they are out and about now with their relationship, they didn’t use to be this loud and proud about it.
Back then, their relationship was not within the knowledge of the public despite them being already engaged. They kept their love for each other secret for five long years and only made their entire relationship official in 2014. However, before their wedding, their twins were already born in 2010 through surrogacy.
Annie Clark & Cara Delevingne
Cara Delevingne was ushered into the world of fashion modeling and inadvertently onto everyone’s faces when she became the industry’s it girl. However, she decided to pursue a different career path far from the catwalk. She once declared that she always wanted to be famous and the center of attention. She may further fulfill that dream now that she is also acting.
Relationship-wise, she has dated Annie Clark, a musician who also goes by the name St. Vincent. When their relationship became public, everyone in social media almost got into a frenzy. Fortunately, their excitement eventually died down, sadly, the reason for it was due to Delevingne calling it quits with Clark in 2016.
