Everyone has their own soulmate, and while some turn to online dating or free dating apps, others just meet by chance. Here is a list of some of the most prominent and proud LGBT couples in Hollywood and other major circles. When they say that ‘love is love’, these couples know how to prove that point!

Did we mention that Ellen also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her efforts with LGBT rights?
