A Valentine’s Day Reminder: The Happy Side of Celebrity Love

Despite many horror stories, there are some celebrity couples who remain as happy as ever.

Celebrity gossip always seems to focus so heavily on divorces, breakups, affairs - and the nastier, the better. Even my fellow Youthink reporter, Belinda Aikenhead, has written an article on the 5 Worst Celebrity Couples Ever. In honour of Valentine’s Day I’d like to remind you of some celebrities who are currently happy in their relationships and who are great reminders that not all relationships end up in tragedy.

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson

Krisbert Pewart. Robsten Stewttinson. My favourite kind of stew is "K-Stew." Stewart and Pattinson’s on-screen Twilight romance translated into real life and though they’ve been very secretive about their relationship, there’s no doubt that their love is real. As a kind of compensation for those of you Twi-hards out there who are dying to see more of Stewart and Pattinson together, Breaking Dawn Part 1, their latest movie, features a wedding between their respective characters, Bella and Edward. If Twi-hard dreams do come true, then perhaps the two will soon get married in reality too. Maybe they’ll even have half-vampire babies!

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

When Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez got together (after he had his manager call her mom to set up a meeting), the world went nuts. In spite of death threats (mostly directed towards Selena - the threats reminded me of how Esperanza Spalding beat Justin Bieber in the race for a Grammy almost exactly one year ago) and a pregnancy rumour, Biebz and Gomez are still together and their relationship is very much alive.

Prince William and Kate Middleton

He’s a prince. She’s a commoner. They met in college and fell in love. It’s like your average Disney princess movie, but real and minus the singing animals and evil stepmothers (arguable, I suppose). Instead, the wedding was broadcast live around the globe. Despite the different time zones, many people stayed up until the wee hours of the night to watch the prince kiss the bride (not me, I recorded it). It was magical (even in my recording).

What’s your love story?
