1. Tom Daley & Dustin Lance Black:

Tom Daley, an Olympic diving star, and Dustin Lance Black, an Oscar-winning screenwriter, have been a shining example of queer family life since they started dating in 2013. Daley was 19 and Black was 39 when they met at a dinner party in Los Angeles. They are 19 years apart in age. Even though Daley's team was unsure about coming out at first, their relationship grew stronger quickly, and they got married in 2017. They had two kids through surrogacy: Robbie in 2018 and Phoenix in 2023. In 2025, the two have been refreshingly honest about how they get along. In interviews, Daley, who is now 31 and a five-time Olympic winner, joked about the age difference, saying, "I'm the more mature person." He also thanked Black for being his rock after his father died in 2011. Daley's documentary 1.6 Seconds talks about how Black helped Daley emotionally during that hard time. The couple talked about reports that they were going to have more kids. Daley said they were happy with their current family but would be open to having more kids. Their Instagram accounts are full of family outings, from trips to the beach to Black's behind-the-scenes looks at his latest projects. This makes them one of the most relatable power couples.

2. Noah Galvin & Ben Platt:

Broadway favorites Noah Galvin and Ben Platt's relationship during the epidemic developed into a fairy-tale romance that fans of theater all over the world loved. The two, who are both Tony-nominated stars, first met in 2019 when they were both in Dear Evan Hansen at the same time. Platt played the lead role first, and then Galvin took it over. Their relationship began in early 2020 during COVID-19 lockdowns. They went from hanging together during quarantine to becoming very close partners. Platt asked for her hand in marriage in November 2022 with a simple but meaningful Instagram caption: "He agreed to hang out forever." On September 1, 2024, they got married in a Brooklyn ceremony with a lot of stars. Mindy Weiss, an event planner, prepared the wedding. Platt and Galvin, who are now 31 and 28, had a romantic moment on the red carpet at the Broadway premiere of Platt's latest project in 2025, only a few months after they got married.

This makes them a new, feel-good couple in the LGBTQ+ spotlight.

3. Tuc Watkins & Andrew Rannells:

In Netflix's 2020 adaptation of The Boys in the Band, veteran actors Tuc Watkins and Andrew Rannells played lovers on film and had real-life chemistry. They had dated for a short time years ago, but filming brought back their chemistry, and they have been dating steadily since 2019. Watkins, 58, is best known for One Life to Live, and Rannells, 47, is best known for Book of Mormon. They got married privately in 2022 and have since combined their families. Watkins is the father of twins Catchen and Curtis, who were born through surrogacy in 2019, and Rannells has taken on the role of stepdad. The two have reached many important goals in 2025. Rannells said that becoming a stepdad was "totally unexpected" but fulfilling. He and Jenna & Friends laughed about family life on Today. The couple flew to Napa Valley for Rannells' Broadway & Vine show, which was a mix of romance and career highs. Watkins talked on how gay roles are changing in Hollywood and how "lucky" he is to be in a relationship with Rannells while promoting his indie film Exit Interviews. Their low-key yet loving public persona—like the cozy Chelsea triplex feel until Rannells listed it to relocate closer to Watkins in L.A.—makes them a fan favorite for normalizing mixed LGBT families.

4. Colton Underwood & Jordan C. Brown:

Colton Underwood, who used to be on The Bachelor, and political strategist Jordan C. Brown went from flirting on Instagram to being married in a whirlwind that changed the way reality TV redemption arcs work. A mutual acquaintance introduced them in 2021, and they went public at Underwood's historic coming-out as the franchise's first gay lead. After a quiet romance, they got married in May 2023 in Palm Springs under the stars, with other Bachelor alums there.
Being a parent has shaped their lives in 2025. In June 2024, the couple had their first son, Bishop, through surrogacy. In May 2025, they had their second kid, making Father's Day a special day for them. On the holiday, Brown paid tribute to his late father in a touching way and thanked Underwood for helping their family grow. Underwood, 33, and Brown, 38, balance their work as advocates with changing diapers. Underwood's podcast episodes about LGBT parenting have become very popular. Their journey from Underwood's secret history to open bliss strikes a chord with many others, making them symbols of true love.

5. Greg Berlanti & Robbie Rogers:

TV giant Greg Berlanti and retired soccer player Robbie Rogers are the perfect example of the "friends to lovers" cliche with a worldwide twist. They met in 2011 at an ESPY Awards afterparty, when Rogers was Berlanti's "plus-one." They didn't start dating until 2013, and they got married in Malibu in 2017. They became the first famous same-sex couple in California to have kids through surrogacy (son Asher in 2018 and daughter Baizen in 2020). Through Berlanti's blockbuster shows like Love, Simon, they've been advocates for LGBTQ+ families.
The two posted about being thankful for their families on Instagram to ring in the new year in 2025. This hinted at more adventures to come. Rogers, 43, made fun of Berlanti, 52, a rival fan, after the L.A. Galaxy won the MLS Cup. This shows that their banter keeps things interesting. Berlanti's production company is doing well, but he says Rogers is his "soulmate" because she keeps their jet-set life in check. Their decade-plus of quiet strength and public support makes them true trailblazers.

6. Jim Parsons & Todd Spiewak:

Jim Parsons from The Big Bang Theory and interior designer Todd Spiewak have been in love for 20 years, and their story is better than any rom-com. In 2002, they went on a blind karaoke date. Parsons, who was then an unemployed actor, said it was his "worst date" because he was so nervous, but they hit it off regardless. In May 2017, Parsons and his co-stars toasted the "Sheldon" who met his perfect mate in New York's Rainbow Room. They had been together for 15 years. The very private couple, who are 52 and 48, went out more in 2025. They went to a tennis tournament together, and Parsons smiled when Spiewak matched his excitement. Parsons said that their relationship was "an act of love, not activism," putting sincerity above all else. They don't have any kids, but they travel all the time, from Broadway revivals to design projects. Their long-lasting, low-drama relationship shows that LGBT love can live off the grid.

7. Jaymes Vaughan & Jonathan Bennett:

Jonathan Bennett, who was in Mean Girls, and Jaymes Vaughan, who hosted a TV show, turned a fortuitous meeting at the airport into a Hallmark-worthy romance. They met in 2019 while Vaughan was on The Amazing Race and became friends over their travel problems before dating really. Vaughan asked her to marry him on a snowy mountain in Aspen in 2020. They got married on a beach in Mexico in March 2022. In 2025, Vaughan, who was 38 years old, had surgery for a rare Schatzki ring, a throat constriction ailment that had been bothering him since he was an adult. Bennett, 44, documented the ups and downs of her emotions on Instagram, marking Vaughan's first "real sit-down meal" after surgery as a big deal. In the middle of Bennett's Hallmark Christmas empire, their supporting relationship shines—Vaughan cheers every time she visits the set. Fans love how real their rom-com is, from viral couple challenges to Vaughan's continuous support of Bennett's career change.

8. Justice Smith & Nic Ashe:

Justice Smith and Nicholas Ashe were one of Hollywood's most famous Black queer couples, and their love story played out in front of the cameras as they became famous. Ashe played the queer-identifying Micah West on the set of HBO's Queen Sugar in 2018, where they met. In a poignant Instagram post in 2020, Smith, 30, came out as LGBTQ and tagged Ashe, 32, as his rock: "You've been my rock and I can't wait to travel the world with you." They were in a sexy Calvin Klein ad that made Black LGBTQ people more visible.
Reports from 2024 said they had broken up, and Smith looked single, but they are still an iconic couple in 2025 who made intersectional queer love more normal. Ashe's thoughts on his own coming-out experience are similar to Smith's, and supporters are hopeful that the two will make up. Their short but vibrant time together, full of red-carpet kisses and support for each other, is still a model for how to represent different groups.

9. Kevin McHale & Austin P. McKenzie:

Former Glee star Kevin McHale and actor Austin P. McKenzie have been happy together for ten years without any problems. They met at a party in Los Angeles in 2016 that their friends threw. In 2017, McHale, 36, and McKenzie, 31, went public with their relationship, posting cute pictures of themselves on red carpets and during home-cooked dinners. After over nine years together, they've made it clear that they don't want to get married or have kids. Instead, they want to focus on their careers—McHale as a host and McKenzie as an indie filmmaker. The two talked about their "pure happiness" without rings on The Most Dramatic Podcast in 2025. They said their love was strong since they had grown together. McHale's Instagram stories of McKenzie baking (his side job) went viral, showing how normal and homey they are. No rush, no fuss—their laid-back style appeals to those who want real-talk LGBTQ relationships instead of show.

10. Lance Bass & Michael Turchin:

NSYNC's Lance Bass and artist Michael Turchin made history in 2014 when they became one of the first same-sex couples to get married on national TV, soon after the U.S. won marriage equality. They met at a birthday party in 2011 and dated for two years before Bass proposed, twice to be sure. The couple, who are 46 and 38 years old, have been parents to twins Alexander and Violet since 2022 through surrogacy. They blend their love of pop music with their concentration on family. Their 10th anniversary in 2025 was celebrated with a fancy boat party and piña coladas, but Bass warned of "danger" for homosexual rights as politics changed. They looked back on ten years of activism in Love Inc. magazine, from Bass's memoir to Turchin's art displays. Their status as a pair on a poster, which started as a friendship and developed into a lifelong love, still brings the community together, showing that love is still strong. These couples aren't simply headlines; they're blueprints for LGBT joy in 2025—flawed, fierce, and eternal. The fight gets bigger as more people see it. Here's to more stories that show the way.
