Some TV couples stay with us long after their shows end. They make us laugh, cry, and believe in love all over again. From awkward first dates to epic wedding moments, these relationships shaped how we think about romance on screen. Whether you grew up watching them or discovered them later, these couples prove that great love stories never get old.
1. Ross and Rachel – Friends
Anyone who watched Friends knows the drama these two brought every single season. Their relationship was messy, full of misunderstandings, and sometimes downright frustrating. But somehow, that made it feel more real than most TV romances.
The famous “we were on a break” argument became part of pop culture history. Fans debated it for years, choosing sides like it was a real breakup. Through ten seasons of ups and downs, their connection never really disappeared.
When Ross chased Rachel to the airport in the finale, millions of viewers held their breath. That moment reminded everyone why they’d stuck with this couple through all the chaos.
2. Cory and Topanga – Boy Meets World
Watching Cory and Topanga grow up together felt like watching your own friends fall in love. They started out as awkward middle school kids and ended up as a married couple by the series finale. Their relationship evolved so naturally—it felt real, like two people genuinely growing up and finding themselves together.
Topanga wasn’t just Cory’s girlfriend—she challenged him, supported him, and never lost her own identity. When she almost moved away, Cory’s heartbreak felt genuine because their bond had been built over years. Every awkward phase and tough decision brought them closer.
Their wedding episode still makes fans emotional because it celebrated young love that actually lasted.
3. Jim and Pam – The Office
Jim spent years pining for Pam while she was engaged to someone else. Every small smile they shared across the office said more than words ever could. Fans rooted for them through every painful moment of waiting.
When Jim finally confessed his feelings in the season two finale, hearts broke everywhere. Their slow-burn romance felt authentic because it was built on genuine friendship first. They knew each other’s quirks, inside jokes, and dreams before they ever kissed.
Their wedding at Niagara Falls became one of TV’s most memorable moments. That dance down the aisle showed pure joy.
4. Monica and Chandler – Friends
Nobody expected these two to become the show’s most stable relationship. Unlike Ross and Rachel’s constant drama, Monica and Chandler just worked.
Chandler went from the guy who couldn’t commit to someone planning his entire future with Monica. She brought out his serious side while he kept her from getting too intense. Their proposal episode had fans crying happy tears because it felt earned.
They dealt with real issues like infertility and adoption with honesty. Their love story proved that sometimes the best relationships sneak up on you.
5. Luke and Lorelai – Gilmore Girls
Their chemistry crackled through every coffee order and sarcastic comment at Luke’s Diner. Lorelai’s bubbly energy balanced Luke’s grumpy exterior perfectly, creating a dynamic that felt magnetic. Fans spent years watching them circle each other before finally getting together.
When they did kiss, it was worth the wait. Their relationship had bumps—plenty of them—but the connection underneath never wavered. Luke knew Lorelai’s coffee order by heart, which somehow said everything about how well he understood her.
Even through breakups and complicated family drama, viewers never stopped hoping they’d find their way back.
6. Uncle Jesse and Becky – Full House
Jesse started as the cool musician who seemed allergic to commitment. Then Becky walked into his life with her professional ambition and no-nonsense attitude. She didn’t change him—she just made him want to be better.
Their relationship mixed humor with genuine sweetness. Jesse serenading Becky became a running theme that never got old. When they had twins, fans watched them navigate parenthood while keeping their spark alive.
They proved that opposite personalities can create the strongest bonds. His laid-back charm and her driven nature balanced each other perfectly, creating a partnership that felt both fun and solid.
7. Zack and Kelly – Saved by the Bell
Every high school had a couple like Zack and Kelly—the popular pair everyone assumed would be together forever. Their relationship survived breakups, jealousy, and Zack’s constant schemes. Kelly saw through his troublemaker image to the good guy underneath.
Zack’s feelings for Kelly drove some of his wildest plots and sweetest moments. When they finally got married, it felt like a natural conclusion. Their romance represented that hopeful belief that first love could actually work out.
Sure, they were idealized, but that’s what made them perfect for Saturday morning TV.
8. Marshall and Lily – How I Met Your Mother
Marshall and Lily from How I Met Your Mother are the definition of relationship goals. From their college days at Wesleyan to raising a family in New York, their love story feels real, imperfect, and heartwarming.

They’re proof that lasting love can still be fun, messy, and magical.
9. Eric and Donna – That ’70s Show
Eric and Donna were the opposite of glamorous TV couples, and that’s exactly why they worked. They were awkward, made mistakes, and dealt with regular teenage problems. Donna was smart and strong, never playing the helpless girlfriend role that was common on other shows.
Eric wasn’t the coolest guy, but his genuine affection for Donna made him endearing. Their basement hangouts and honest conversations felt like real teenage relationships. When they broke up, it hurt because their connection seemed so authentic.
They represented the kind of first love that shapes who you become as a person.
10. Meredith and Derek – Grey’s Anatomy
Their one-night stand turned into one of television’s most epic love stories. Derek earned his “McDreamy” nickname, but their relationship was far from a fairy tale. They faced impossible choices, career conflicts, and devastating tragedies that would have destroyed most couples.
What made them special was their ability to find each other again after every setback. Post-it note wedding vows became iconic because they captured a raw, simple commitment. Even after Derek’s heartbreaking exit, their love story continued to define Meredith’s character.
They showed that soulmates aren’t perfect—they’re just worth fighting for through everything.
