For Father’s Day, my queen made me feel like a king. She knows how I love to get dressed up and go out on a date. We haven’t been able to do it for months so she planned a special dinner for us in our backyard. I love you, @chrissyteigen. I’m so grateful to be the father of your children. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Chrissy Teigen says John Legend tried to break up with her early on in their relationship. It is no surprise that the clap back queen didn’t allow that nonsense for very long. Now the married couple has two adorable kids and are the epitome of #couplegoals.

Here’s the morning we both got texts from grandma saying “happy anniversary!”. We were both on our way out the door but stopped for a quick hot and heavy make out sesh while Frank stood close like a creeper.

Dax Shepard once made the mistake of breaking up with the delightful Kristen Bell! The actor just wasn’t ready for a committed relationship. He eventually wised up and one emotional sloth surprise, a courthouse wedding, and two kids later…we’d say he made the right call.

Gabby Union and Dwyane Wade dated for four years before splitting up in 2013. The couple reunited and set the example for blended families and unconditional love. Not to mention they’re also quite possibly the best-dressed couple of all time.

Kelly Ripa recently revealed she and husband Mark Consuelos broke up and got back together one day before eloping in Vegas. They obviously worked through the problems that led to the break, because this loved-up duo has been married over 24 years. They both share cute snaps of each other all the time, and we gotta say they just keep getting better with age.
