36 Celebrity Couples Who Aren’t Afraid of PDA
Ahead, ridiculously cute celebrity couples who are not-at-all afraid to show a little PDA, including Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, and more.
People have been obsessed with celebrities since the dawn of time (or, at least, it feels like it). And thanks to celebrities' fondness for oversharing, we know which creepy mask is keeping celebrities' faces smooth, the wine Kylie Jenner drinks to unwind after a long day, and the "best ever" barbecue chips Cardi B loves that I suddenly have to try. On top of that, we get to see just how obsessed with each other all of our favorite Hollywood couples are. Some of them get very frisky with their late-night Instagram comments; others open up about their lover on late-night shows; and a few special people leave nothing to the imagination with their couples' photos. And don't even get me started with the red carpets. Am I the only one that has had to walk away from the television after another celebrity licking?
Still, if there's one thing I love more than celebrity culture, it's love! Here, we've rounded up 36 couples that aren't scared to show their significant other just how important they are to them. Whether it be holding hands, a peck, or a full-on makeout sesh, these couples aren't scared of a good public display of affection. Enjoy all these sweet moments—we all deserve to feel loved by the people we care about most, in private and in public!
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton
These two couldn't help their love as much as they tried. They met while shooting The Voice and quickly fell hard for each other. Now, they are nauseatingly cute everywhere from Instagram to the Grammys.
Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas
People have been obsessing about Sansa Stark and her JoBro lover since they went public in 2016. Joe put a ring on it in 2017, and the two were married in late 2019 in an intimate Parisian wedding. The pair are always touching, and Sophie is the biggest JoBro fangirl. In early 2020, rumors started swirling Sophie is expecting the couple's first child and I personally can't wait for Baby Jonas.
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas
Nick and Priyanka took the Internet by storm when they attended the 2017 Met Gala together. Their 2018 wedding was a spectacle—there was a literal dance competition and Nick totally cried —and since then the Jonas love has been on full display.
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively
Ryan Reynolds and Black Lively have a habit of being really, really ridiculously cute with each other in public. Whether they’re trolling each other in interviews or playing around on the red carpet (pictured, here, at the 2014 Met Gala), their PDA-filled marriage is one for the books.
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez
There’s a reason the internet is obsessed with newly minted couple Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez (a.k.a. J-Rod): They look ridiculously happy together. Here they are smiling and snuggling each other during the 2018 Met Gala.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are no strangers to red carpet PDA—since their 2008 marriage, the couple has supplied us with a portfolio of ridiculously sweet moments. Exhibit A: In 2008, the couple shared a passionate kiss at the 35th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards in 2008 (to be fair, DeGeneres had just won the award for Outstanding Talk Show Host).
Beyoncé and Jay-Z
Although Beyoncé and Jay-Z are relatively low-key about their private life, the couple don't hold back when it comes to PDA—especially when they’re performing. Here, the objectively epic husband and wife kiss on stage during their 2018 On the Run II Tour.
Emily Blunt and John Krasinski
Emily Blunt and John Krasinski reached peak cute when the duo starred in Krasinski’s A Quiet Place in 2018. At the movie’s New York premiere in April, Blunt cheekily grabbed Krasinski's butt in front of the cameras.
Charlie Heaton and Natalia Dyer
The Stranger Things co-stars turned real-life lovers have gone on a ridiculously sweet, PDA-filled tour since confirming their relationship in December 2017. Here, the couple poses cheekily at the 2018 Dior Addict Lacquer Plump event in Los Angeles.
Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union
Since making their official red carpet debut in 2010, Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade have cemented a red carpet presence with just the right amount of PDA (read: they leave some things to the imagination). Case in point: The duo shared a sweet hug at Union’s 2017 appearance at Ulta Beauty in Florida.
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman
Yes, Nicole Kidman did have a brief PDA moment with her co-star Alexander Skarsgård at the 2017 Emmys, but it was nothing compared to her incredibly sweet PDA moments with husband Keith Urban. The couple—who have been married since 2006—held each other at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017.
Alison Brie and Dave Franco
Alison Brie and Dave Franco are one of my favorite, low-key couples—but that doesn’t mean they’re anti-PDA. At the Screen Actors Guild Awards Gala in January 2018, the married couple shared a close embrace.
Kaley Cuoco and Karl Cook
Kaley Cuoco and Karl Cook—who tied the knot relatively recently—played for the cameras at the 23rd Annual Critics Choice Awards in January 2018.
Alec and Hilaria Baldwin
Alec Baldwin scooped up his wife Hilaria (who gave birth to the couple’s fourth child this year) at the 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival in 2013.
