Love is a many-splendored thing, especially when you’re gawking at it from the outside. In this column, we’ll be examining the celebrity couples that give us hope for our own romantic futures and trying to learn what we can from their well-documented bonds.

Here is my opinion on love: it should be fun. (Groundbreaking, I know!) Not all the time, obviously—sometimes you’re hungover and someone needs to make the coffee and someone else can’t find their phone and it’s too early in the morning and the sun is too bright and you just wish you were alone in a cold, dark room—but for the most part, if you’re with someone, you should be enjoying yourselves.

This theory of relationship fun brings me to the world’s former most eligible bachelor, actor George Clooney, and his wife, British-Lebanese human rights lawyer Amal Clooney. I didn’t think it would be possible for George’s marriage to seem more fun than his single days (the gentleman owned a pig! A pig he shared a bedroom with on trips! Name one thing cooler than owning a pig!), but spiritually, the Clooneys always seem to be on vacation, including when they’re making out on the red carpet at the Tony Awards.

Also fun? A little good, old-fashioned ribbing: As it turns, even a star of George’s magnitude isn’t immune to getting roasted by his wife about his hair. The 64-year-old star returned to his silver-fox blueprint at the Tonys after dyeing his hair black to play journalist Edward R. Murrow in the Broadway play Good Night, and Good Luck, previously telling CBS: “It’s not my favorite look, and my wife, she thinks it’s funny. Honestly, nothing makes you look older than being 63 and dyeing your hair.” Be that as it may, nothing makes you look more attractive than taking your wife’s opinion seriously, even when it comes to something as trivial as hair color.

Of course, life can’t always be a party with eight-year-old twins, but in a rare statement about her marriage, Amal told Time in 2022: “I have in my husband a partner who is incredibly inspirational and supportive, and we have a home filled with love and laughter. It is a joy beyond anything I could ever have imagined. I feel so lucky to have found a great love in my life, and to be a mother—this is how I get my balance.”
