Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck. Zayn Malik and One Direction. Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards. Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog. Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield. Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez. Oof. It's been a rough year for celeb breakups.
Couples you thought were forever went suddenly (or not-so-suddenly, depending on who you ask) kaput. A famous duo that represented your #relationshipgoals now represent NOTHING. We get it, you guys. If we may borrow a phrase from Dwight Schrute, all these breakups are leading people to believe that love is "as dead as every dead animal who has ever died."
But wait! You may mourn the loss of Miranda and Blake's country love or Bennifer 2.0's decade-long marriage or Emma and Andrew's across-the-pond union, but then you must find hope again! And you can find hope in these 30 celeb couples who as of publishing this article are still happily together (fingers crossed) and hopefully will be in it for the long haul.
Let them give you something to believe in again!

Cute quote: "A lasting relationship isn't about marriage. It's about compatibility and communication. And you both need to want it to work," Goldie explained to Porter magazine.

23. Judd Apatow & Leslie Mann

Cute quote: "We just have been together over 10 years," Harris said on The View. "I think when our kids got to the age where they were having reasonable conversations—where they're asking lots of why questions—then it seemed like to be able to have a real clear-cut explanation of who their daddy is. I think its great [to say], 'He's my husband.'"
26. Olivia Wilde & Jason Sudeikis
Together for: 4 years
Cute quote: "I feel like every day is Valentine's Day in our relationship," Jason told E! News, adding that their son Otis got his looks from Olivia. "He smiles a lot. I would say any looks he's got going—I feel like he's a real cute little guy—that's Olivia's doing."
27. Nick Offerman & Megan Mullally

28. Sarah Michelle Gellar & Freddie Prinze Jr.
Married for: 13 years

Together for: 9 years
Cute quote: "I don't feel any more or less committed to Diane for not having stood in front of a priest and had a giant party," he told Glamour about their relationship status.

We may get married."
30. Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively
Married for: 3 years
Cute quote: "When that happens you fall so much more in love with your partner," Ryan told Jimmy Fallon about the birth of their daughter. "It's a pretty crazy experience. What blows my mind is that it's so common yet it's so profound at the same time. Something so many people do."
