Living a celebrity’s life, with all of Hollywood’s glamour and glory and the bright lights of stardom, is a chaotic and occasionally insane experience. Within the tight celebrity lifestyle and media scrutiny, it can be difficult for stars to find love—and it’s even more difficult for LGBTQ couples.
These LGBTQ celebrities are making their relationships work in the most amazing of ways, despite the public pressures and the crazyness of their existence.
1. Cara Delavigne and Annie Clarke
Cara Delavigne, a model and actress, isn’t afraid to speak her thoughts, so it’s no wonder that she fell for Annie Clarke, an equally outspoken actress. Clarke, whose stage name is St. Vincent, has been sighted out and about with Delavigne on several occasions, and the power couple has spoken openly about the media’s interest in their connection.
2. Michael Kors and Lance Leoere
Michael Kors has finally found the ultimate accessory—a husband—after years of supplying the world with ultra high-fashion bags and shoes. In 2012, the well-known designer married Lance Leoere, his long-term partner.
The couple had been dating for over 20 years before ultimately tying the knot. Kors told Women’s Wear Daily, “To marry someone as amazing and dear to me as Lancs barefoot on a glorious beach is more than I could have dreamt of.”
3. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi
Ellen DeGeneres is now a major national treasure, but she endured a lot of backlash from fans and the media when she came out as homosexual.
After dating for four years, the super-successful talk show host married actress Portia De Rossi in 2008.
De Rossi expressed her admiration for DeGeneres in a touching interview with Oprah. She described it as “like an arrow being blasted through my heart.” “I was weak in the knees and overwhelmed by my feelings.”
4. Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne
Tig Notaro, a comedian, and her wife, actress Stephanie Allynne, are as nice as can be. Tig couldn’t stop gushing about her love in a 2015 interview with Cosmopolitan, describing their relationship as “so easy.” “We both talk about how we wake up every morning just pleased,” Stephanie concurred.
5. Dustin Lance Black and Tom Daley
“Love is a commitment to me — something that goes deep,” Black told Out magazine in 2016. “You can’t have that at first sight. It has to be earned. But did we start to fall in love at first sight? I believe so.” “That was the night he said, ‘Tom will you be my boyfriend?’ when we were drunk in the hotel, and then he said, ‘Actually, you don’t have to answer that,'” Daley told Out magazine in 2016. “When I woke up the next morning, I turned to him and said, ‘Yes.’ And he said, ‘What do you mean, ‘Yes’?’ And I said, ‘Yes, I’ll be your boyfriend.'”
