10 LGBT celebrities who are married couples, and you may not have known

Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi
In the constellation of Hollywood couples, Ellen and Portia shine unmistakably bright — not merely as trailblazers in the LGBTQ+ community but as a testament to enduring partnership. Their story began in 2004, when Portia, then a rising actress and model, met Ellen, who was at the height of her stand-up career. Four years later, they exchanged vows in a heartfelt public ceremony.

Their love transcends celebrity, exemplifying a union rooted in authenticity and mutual respect. Ellen, honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, has been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, while Portia’s philanthropic efforts and shared passion for animal welfare only deepen the couple’s public resonance. Together, they remain a symbol of dignity, joy, and unwavering commitment.

Cara Delevingne & Annie Clark
Model-turned-actress Cara Delevingne captivated the fashion world with her fierce energy and unapologetic personality. Her romance with indie music virtuoso Annie Clark, known by her stage name St. Vincent, made headlines with a mixture of intrigue and celebration.

When the relationship became public, fans and tabloids erupted in speculation and admiration. Though their romance ended in 2016, their brief but magnetic connection left an indelible mark on the cultural conversation around queer visibility in the entertainment industry.

Sarah Paulson & Holland Taylor
In a world obsessed with conventionality, the love story between Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor is a beautiful rebellion. Paulson, known for her fearless acting, and Taylor, best remembered by many as Evelyn Harper in Two and a Half Men, defy expectations with their 30-year age difference — and they make no apologies for it.

Their relationship, both tender and unapologetically confident, is a gentle reminder that love pays no heed to numbers. As Paulson once said, “I love who I love,” and in doing so, she gave countless others the courage to do the same.

Lily Tomlin & Jane Wagner
Few partnerships have endured with as much quiet grace as the union between comedy icon Lily Tomlin and writer Jane Wagner. They met in 1971, when Tomlin invited Wagner to collaborate on a comedy album — an artistic partnership that soon evolved into a lifelong romantic one.

Though intensely private, the couple made it official in December 2013 after more than four decades together. Tomlin, a pioneer for LGBTQ+ visibility and a titan of stage and screen, has often credited Wagner as the soul behind her most meaningful work. Their relationship is a masterclass in love as both sanctuary and inspiration.

Andrew Rannells & Mike Doyle
Actors Andrew Rannells and Mike Doyle found connection through shared craft. Rannells, lauded for his Broadway prowess and a Tony-nominated performance, complemented Doyle’s multifaceted talents as a writer, director, and producer.

Their romance — equal parts creative and romantic — flourished for several years until their amicable parting in 2018. Despite their breakup, the legacy of their bond underscores how shared passion and mutual respect can fuel love, even when its course changes.

Paris Barclay & Christopher Mason
Paris Barclay, a formidable force behind the camera with credits spanning ER, The West Wing, and NYPD Blue, lives a quieter, more grounded love story with husband Christopher Mason. Together for over a decade, their union represents stability, warmth, and shared devotion away from the spotlight.

Their love radiates through subtle moments — not red carpet gestures but the quiet strength of partnership. As Barclay once implied, directing may be his career, but Mason is his compass.

Orlando Cruz & Jose Manuel Colón
Orlando Cruz shattered stereotypes by becoming the first openly gay professional boxer while still active in the ring. With fists of fire and a heart unafraid, Cruz rewrote the narrative of masculinity in sport.

In 2013, he married Jose Manuel Colón in a romantic Central Park ceremony. Together, they not only defy homophobic tropes in athletics but also elevate the conversation about courage — both in love and in life.

Adam Lambert & Sauli Koskinen
Pop sensation and American Idol alum Adam Lambert found love with Finnish TV personality Sauli Koskinen. Their relationship, which lasted from 2010 to 2013, was a magnetic blend of charisma and cultural exchange.

Though their romance ended, the affection lingered. Both spoke of continued friendship and mutual respect, proving that love, even when it fades, can evolve into something just as meaningful.

Cherry Jones & Sophie Huber
Emmy-winning actress Cherry Jones has long lived her truth with grace. After high-profile relationships, including with Sarah Paulson, Jones found lasting love with Swiss-born filmmaker and composer Sophie Huber.

Since marrying in 2015, the couple has navigated Hollywood and life with quiet resilience. With Jones appearing in acclaimed series like Succession and Poker Face, and Huber thriving creatively, their shared world is one of balance, artistry, and enduring companionship.

Kate McKinnon & Jackie Abbott
Saturday Night Live star Kate McKinnon is known for her comic brilliance — but her love life is a far more private affair. The comedian stepped into the public eye with partner Jackie Abbott, an indie film actress and creative spirit, during the 2017 Emmy Awards.

Abbott, with her background in theatre and even a stint as a “part-time clown,” complements McKinnon’s eccentricity with grounding warmth. Their relationship, rooted in laughter and intimacy, showcases a bond that is equal parts romantic and real.
