If you were sitting under a table scoffing grapes this New Year’s Eve, manifesting your perfect sapphic partner, here are some suggestions for celebrity couples to add to your vision board. These are the partnerships that have us in our feels!
Cat Burns and Sarah New
Following her stint in the Celebrity Traitor’s castle last year, singer Cat Burns began the “soft-launch” of her girlfriend Sarah New, a make-up artist and influencer. Cat posted a video to TikTok writing: “live footage of me trying to promote this song while trying to keep my private life private.”
Over Christmas, the pair shared clips of their trip to Winter Wonderland, and, despite the cold, it had us feeling warm and fuzzy.
Just yesterday, Cat announced she underwent breast reduction surgery and is now recovering with Sarah by her side.
Chlöe Grace Moretz and Kate Harrison
Chloë Grace Moretz has been gracing our screens her entire life in films such as queer coming-of-age drama The Miseducation Of Cameron Post and the 2013 re-adaptation of Carrie. Meanwhile, Kate is a successful model and photographer. The pair have been dating since 2018 and married in 2025.
In a video for Vogue, Chloë said: “When I knew that I was going to propose to Kate, I was excited (about) the opportunity that we don’t just get one engagement ring, but we get two engagement rings.”
The pair love on their own terms, from two engagement rings to a life largely away from the public eye. It makes the relationship feel refreshingly grounded.
Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis
Football’s royal wedding took place on New Year’s Eve, and we couldn’t be more buzzed for Sam and Kristie! This follows a cinematic journey from a cheeky Instagram DM to a blossoming romance in private before a dramatic face-off on the pitch in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Images of Kristie comforting Sam after their head-to-head match went viral. The moment sparked the infamous tweet “Friendship has no boundaries! Win or lose, friends are still friends,” and, of course, the iconic response “They’re lesbians, Stacey.”
The pair also welcomed their baby boy, Jagger, last May.
Jodie Foster and Alexandra Hedison
The pair married back in 2014 in a private ceremony and have continued to keep much of their relationship private over the years. Yet they have always emerged to champion one another publicly.
Posting to Instagram to celebrate Jodie’s Golden Globe win for The Mauritanian, Alex wrote: “Proud of you everyday but this one was especially fun.”
Meanwhile, last year Jodie dedicated her third Golden Globe win to Alex.
“I just want to thank my family,” Jodie said. “My boys, I love you, and this, of course, is for you. And the love of my life, Alex, thank you forever.”
Shyanne Sellers and Faith Masonius
Here’s another sports romance, because we just can’t get enough! Last year was huge for the pair: Shyanne’s engagement to Faith, and her selection for the WNBA draft, came within the same week!
Shyanne first proposed to Faith, and then Faith returned the favour. The pair posted the second engagement to Instagram with the caption “Because two yeses are better than one”.
Faith also had a breakout senior season at Seton Hall and is in conversations as a potential top pick for the WNBA draft next year.
The couple met while playing basketball for Maryland University, and it turns out they had chemistry on and off the court. The pair went public with their relationship back in 2024.
With sporting and romantic success under their belts, Shyanne and Faith are certainly couple goals.
Reneé Rapp and Towa Bird
No list would be complete without this it-couple. A true theatre-kid showmance, Reneé and Towa’s romance blossomed while they were on tour together. Towa was Reneé’s support act and regularly joined her onstage for Tummy Hurts.
Recently, fans were ecstatic when Towa made a spoken cameo on At Least I’m Hot, a flirty bit the pair later reenacted on the Bite Me Tour. The moment became so iconic that Reneé began rotating guest stand-ins, including Jennifer Beals, AKA The L Word’s Bette Porter.
