Two of a kind: 20 of our favorite fictional couples

These 20 TV couples set the gold standard for love, loyalty, and unforgettable romance. Keep scrolling to check them out below. 

 
1 of 20

Troy and Gabriella

Troy and Gabriella
Disney Channel

Are Troy and Gabriella a cliché couple? Absolutely. But we don't care. They're one high school couple who actually made it. How many can say that?

Randall and Beth

Randall and Beth
NBC

Randall and Beth were the complete opposites, but somehow, it worked for them. The This Is Us couple endured many life-changing situations but emerged stronger in the end. That kind of love is special.

Raven and Devon

That's So Raven only touched on Raven and Devon's relationship a little throughout the four-season run, but it's one rooted in love that we'll always be thinking about.

Tyreke Scott amd Tia Landry

If we're being honest, Tyreke and Tia are here because they were one hot couple during their run on Sister, Sister. They also went through some typical challenges during their college years, showing us that true love is always worth fighting for.

Julius and Rochelle

Julius and Rochelle

Even if Julius was a cheapskate and Rochelle was temperamental, these two lovers from Everybody Hates Chris were just right for each other.

Micahel and Jay

Micahel and Jay
ABC

Audiences loved the TV show My Wife and Kids for many reasons, but the relationship between Michael and Jay was the real heart of the show. Their playful banter, unwavering love, and undeniable chemistry made their dynamic both hilarious and relatable.

David and Patrick

David and Patrick
CBC

How could we not feature David and Patrick's supportive relationship from Schitt's Creek in a list like this? The couple's journey was a joy to watch and has become a staple relationship for queer representation on TV.

Monica and Quincy

Monica and Quincy
New Line Cinema

From childhood friends to romantic partners to professional basketball players, Monica and Quincy's journey in Love & Basketball speaks for itself. Their story is a perfect blend of love, ambition, and commitment.

Nathan and Haley

Nathan and Haley
CW/WB

Nathan and Haley's relationship in One Tree Hill is a TV classic. The pair fell deeply in love in high school, supported each other's every move, and eventually tied the knot before starting their family.

Melanie and Derwin

We're not ignoring the fact that Derwin was the occasional cheater with little-boy tendencies; however, his story with Melanie (Tia Mowry) from The Game is just too sweet to dislike him forever. If she can forgive him, then so can we.

Olivia and Jake

Olivia and Jake
ABC

Look, Olivia and Jake were terrible for each other. They know it, and we know it. However, the drama, jealousy, and manipulation made watching their relationship on Thursday nights so entertaining. 

 
12 of 20

Olivia and Fitz

Olivia and Fitz
ABC

Olivia and Fitz — Olitz, if you will — were always the premiere couple in ABC's Scandal. Although he wasn't the best to his wife (who deserved and found better), Olivia was no better. Maybe that's why they were perfect for each other. 

 
13 of 20

Chad and Taylor

Chad and Taylor
Disney Channel

No matter how hard Taylor wanted to dislike Chad during the beginning of High School Musical, the mathlete fell deeply in love with the basketball player by the movie's end. By the third and final series, the pair were one of the franchise's most elite couples, proving that opposites really do attract. 

 
14 of 20

Issa and Lawrence

Issa and Lawrence
HBO

If Lawrence and Issa from Insecure taught us anything, it's that what is meant for you will always find you. The pair went through a few ups and downs throughout the show; however, after working to better themselves as single people, fate brought them back to each other at the perfect time. 

 
15 of 20

Kim and Ron

Kim and Ron
Disney Animation

Disney never gave us a proper ending surrounding Kim and Ron's relationship in Kim Possible, so we're going out on a limb and believing that in some alternate universe, these two wound up together and produced some high-achieving, crime-fighting children. 

 
16 of 20

Maya and Darnell

Like Issa and Lawrence, Maya and Darnell from Girlfriends also remind us to stay open-minded about love. After Darnell pursues another woman during the show, he realizes that his heart is with Maya, ultimately bringing the pair back to each other for their fairytale ending.

Victor and Tanya Baxter

Victor and Tanya Baxter
Disney

Victor and Tanya Baxter were a committed couple during their run on That's So Raven. They supported each other's goals and their children's ambitions. Plus, the pair always got into a little bit of trouble with their kids, too, making their relationship a light-hearted one that we're big fans of. 

 
18 of 20

Martin and Gina

Martin and Gina
Fox

Like some of the other men on this list, Martin wasn't always the best boyfriend to Gina; however, he was always ready to go to war over his girl. 

 
19 of 20

Miranda and Ben

Miranda and Ben
ABC

Two Black doctors who are great at their jobs, smart, and attractive? Yes, please! Plus, we're always rooting for Miranda Bailey to win.

Jamie and Fancy

Although Jamie and Fancy didn't become an official couple until the end of the series, they're one pairing we always love watching back. Their will-they-won't-they dynamic, comedic timing and undeniable chemistry made it well worth the wait.
