Real Housewives Couples That Show Us Love Isn't Dead

It’s Valentine’s Day, and while cupid’s arrow doesn’t always play fair when it comes to the rules of reality television, amour is still a big part of some of the shows we know and… well, love. Over the years some of our favourite Housewives have sought, found, lost, and held onto love in some of the best storylines around. But when it comes to legit, solid couples? Well these pairs may be living proof that love is always something to root for.

Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Kroy Biermann

Ever since we met these two on RHOA we couldn’t help but fall for them as a couple. That fandom grew as Kory and Kim added to their brood, stuck with each other through thick and thin, and even got married back in 2011. Now we stay apprised of their antics on their own spinoff series, Don’t Be Tardy, where they continue to prove that love conquers all.

Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin

Some of the other ladies on RHOBH like to make fun of Lisa for the way she always says her husband’s full name, but you have to admit there’s something endearing about the way Lisa still crushes on “Harry Hamlin.” Official addresses aside, it’s hard not to crush on these two as a couple when they’re so open about therapy and keeping the romance alive. Plus Lisa has proved that she will cut anyone with a broken wine glass who wants to talk smack about her Hubs, and how can you not believe in the power of love when a person is that passionate?

NeNe and Gregg Leakes

Love isn’t perfect, but to paraphrase a famous wedding reading, it is patient and kind. NeNe and Gregg have definitely had their ups and downs on RHOA over the years, including a divorce and rumours of an open relationship. But at the end of the day they have always seemed to be there for each other, including during the difficult period in which Gregg battled cancer. Now Gregg has shared that he is in remission and cancer-free, and NeNe is leaving the show to pursue new opportunities. Here’s hoping that wherever this couple lands, they land there together.

Kandi Burruss-Tucker and Todd Tucker

The kind of love that Kandi and Todd share on RHOA is aspirational, to say the least. These two are always looking lovingly into each other’s eyes and sharing sweet messages on social media, not to mention snuggling on all of the red carpets. But even deeper than that they always have each other’s backs and try to keep it real with one another, proving that they aren’t just husband and wife, but the very best of friends, too.

Melissa and Joe Gorga

When Melissa teased that things aren’t always what they seem on the trailer for the upcoming season of RHONJ, fans everywhere were clutching their pearls. That’s because, as fiery as Melissa and Joe can be, they always seemed to be a solid couple. (And let’s be honest: after Teresa and Joe split, we need a core couple to root for!) Here’s hoping that Melissa and Joe make it through the season together, in spite of what we’ve seen so far.

Heather and Terry Dubrow

Many of the Real Housewives have side hustles, but how many of them have side hustles with their husbands? Best friends, business partners, parents, and husband-and-wife, Heather and Terry Dubrow seem to have cracked the code on soul mates. The former RHOC couple have openly said that the secret to their relationship is finding ways to spend time together and to be creative no matter how busy they are, and we have to say that the strategy looks pretty darned good on them.

Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd

All of the lack-of-sex jokes on RHOBH aside, it’s clear that Lisa and Todd love each other very much. From teary vow renewals and passionate pup protests to having each other’s backs in every storyline no matter what, we didn’t always agree with what this couple was saying but boy did we appreciate how fiercely they loved each other and had each other’s backs (“Goodbye, Kyle!”).

Tamra and Eddie Judge

When Tamra announced that she was leaving RHOC, the show—maybe even the franchise!—lost one of its best couples. Even though Tamra and Eddie faced so many issues on the series (home problems, health scares) they always managed to face them together. Add in that newlywed way that they always look at each other and the supportive way that they speak to each other, and well… viewers everywhere can probably agree that these two are #relationshipgoals.

Monique and Chris Samuels

Marriage isn’t perfect, which Monique and Chris have definitely addressed before on RHOP. That candid approach is exactly why we love them though. These two have had candid conversations about romance and intimacy in the past, proving that sometimes in order to foster and grow real love in a relationship, the biggest key is communication. And if we’re being totally honest, couldn’t we all use a little more of that in our real lives?

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky

Is there any couple more solid than original RHOBH stars Kyle and Mauricio? From raising their girls, to growing their businesses, to family drama, friend drama, unfounded tabloid rumours, and more than a few antic-filled white parties in between, these two have been through it all. Add in a few fun family vacations and the way Kyle makes fun of her husband for basically not knowing how to do anything around the house, and these two have a deep and unwavering bond that truly proves love isn’t dead after all.
