Let’s face it, even if we don’t like Hollywood, we adore seeing lesbian celebrity couples.
Some part of our mind thinks they’re a fairy tale love story come true. Because in these times when we’re only starting to be visible, they’re our only form of role models.
Seeing them together, it gives us a flicker of hope that all will be well in the LGBT realm.
Lately, there are a lot of lesbian celebrity couples coming out. There are some we love so much, we want to cuddle and hug them and treat them like our BFFs.
Lesbian Celebrity Couples #1: Ellen DeGeneres and Portia di Rossi
Ellen can do no wrong, that’s what we always say. And after a sling of failures, she seem to have found perfection with Portia di Rossi.
The two have been together since 2004 and got married in 2008. That makes it almost 18 years of being a couple.
In this moment of Ellen’s life when it seems that she can do no wrong, it’s so affirming to see them together like a complete partnership.
Finally Ellen has found someone who will be beside her, just supporting her as she shoots further and further up.
Lesbian Celebrity Couples #2: Ellen Page and Samantha Thomas
So, okay, we’ll admit that we’ll love anybody whom Ellen Page loves, which is why we love Samantha Thomas.
The two first came out publicly with their relationship during the premier of her movie Freeheld in 2015.
During an interview with E! News, she says that “walking down the carpet holding my girlfriend’s hand is pretty special.”
Samantha is an artist who specializes in oil, abstract painting and structural pieces. She’s also a surfer and a golfer.
Lesbian Celebrity Couples #3: Rachel Maddow and Susan Mikula
We already wrote about talk TV’s IT Girl Rachel Maddow and Susan Mikula’s love story, which began when Maddow did housework for the photographer Mikula. This is one of the reasons why we love them so much.
After all these years, you could still see the love and chemistry between the two. It makes us believe that love can last, even in the harsh lights of celebrity.
After decades of being together, they still like doing things together like joking with each other and gardening.
Lesbian Celebrity Couples #4: Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli
Just a few days ago Wiley and Morelli’s wedding photos were splashed all over the internet.
Not only did their love for each other emanate from the very photos, they look hot together and we wish we could be as cool as them.
The Orange is the New Black star met Morelli who was a writer for the show in 2012. At that time, Morelli was married to a guy. It was during the span of the show that she discovered her inner lesbian.
The two got engaged in 2016 and got married in Palm Springs.
Lesbian Celebrity Couples #5: Melissa Etheridge and Linda Wallen
While Melissa Etheridge was famously associated with Julie Cypher and Tammy Lyn Michaels, both relationships soon ended, leaving Etheridge a single mom with four kids.
She called her best friend Linda Wallen to come and help her with the kids. It was in this scenario that the rocker fell in love with her best friend for 10 years.
Etheridge wrote the song “Who are You Waiting For” for Wallen,who was one of the co-creators of Nurse Jackie. The two got married in 2015.
So who’s your favorite lesbian celebrity couple?
