During quarantine, everyone might have gotten a little too invested in the personal lives of their favorite celebrities (check our parasocial relationships). Even with the world returning to normal, the attachments that we have formed with certain Hollywood couples have remained.

ROUND 4 

NORTH

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds VS Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost 

Two power couples. While we are living for Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost, a superhero-comedian duo, there is no topping the iconic pairing of Blake and Ryan. Their genuine love and displays of affection are hard to come across in the Hollywood scene. The couple can’t even wish the other a happy birthday without throwing in a jab. 

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky VS Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn 

Both couples are private but not a secret, which we respect, but Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn take private to another level. We know virtually nothing about this couple…if only Taylor was as public with her relationships as she is with her breakups. No matter how much we love T-Swift, we have to go with Rihanna and A$AP on this one: two of the biggest names in both the fashion and music industry combining forces. While we have limited information on the two, the privacy adds to the excitement that comes with their announcements and outings together. With A$AP and Rihanna expecting a child, we cannot wait to see what this next chapter holds for them…we also can’t wait to see the lucky kid that unknowingly won the genetics lottery (seriously, this baby is destined for stardom). 

SOUTH

Ariana Grande and Mac Miller VS The Weeknd and Bella Hadid

The Weeknd and Bella are our favorite fashion-rockstar couple, but we do not condone cheating scandals in this publication. They do not compare to the duo that was Ariana Grande and Mac Miller. The two were a picture perfect example of a grumpy-sunshine couple. Many fans still believe the two were soulmates, and Ariana still references him in her music…R.I.P. Mac Miller <3

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik VS Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone

One direction boybander + nepotism baby = destined stardom. This couple had our hearts, but as the relationship progressed, so did the drama. Similar to how this couple left their relationship in the past, we just have to do the same with them in our bracket. On the other hand, Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield were our perfect shots of espresso. The love shared between their characters Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-man series transferred off-screen. Their undeniable real-world chemistry was adored by fans…fans is us, we are fans. The news of Andrew and Emma’s split had us crying harder than we did at Gwen Stacy’s death in The Amazing Spider-man 2.

ROUND 5: THE FINAL FOUR

NORTH

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds VS Rihanna and A$AP Rocky

Rhianna and A$AP really gave Blake and Ryan a run for their money. While we love Rihanna and A$AP, they simply lack a public presence. Blake and Ryan have gained a massive and loyal fanbase through their highly publicized relationship. Their personal life is none of our business, but having an inside look sure is fun. Sorry Rihanna, you might have love on the brain, but we sure don’t.

SOUTH

Ariana Grande and Mac Miller VS Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone

We are shedding tears. This is a MAJOR toughie. While we love Andrew and Emma, we love Ari and Mac more. The split between Andrew and Emma, while devastating, seems to have been the right move. On the other hand… Ari and Mac’s on-and-off relationship was a rollercoaster for both the couple and the fans. Their circumstance proved to be right person, wrong time, as they never failed to find their way back to one another. Ariana’s song “The Way ft. Mac Miller” had us all in a chokehold, and the music video featuring their first kiss made their chemistry obvious to fans. We will say it again—soulmates.

ROUND 6: THE FINAL CELEBRITY COUPLE SHOWDOWN

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds VS Ariana Grande and Mac Miller

Two amazing couples, one incredibly hard decision.

We couldn’t be prouder of our final two—these couples are the blueprint to what we want in our love life. 

Drum roll please…

Blake and Ryan take the crown. I mean, how could they not?

This couple is easy on the eyes, but their humor is what landed them the top spot. Their long-lasting love is shared through social media banter along with their shameless public affection. It is refreshing to see two of the biggest names in the film industry in such a playful and fun relationship. We could only dream of having this couple’s dynamic…a dynamic in which significant others publicly embarrass and roast one another via Instagram and Twitter. We hope they never change, at least for our sake.
