Abby Wambach and Glennon Doyle – 6 Years Together
In 2017, author and activist Glennon Doyle and soccer player Abby Wambach captured the attention of the media when they publicly revealed their marriage.

The synchronicity was undeniable. The journey since then has been a testament to their joy and commitment. By looking at their social media posts, it is evident that they are thriving and have managed to cultivate successful relationships.

Chely Wright and Lauren Blitzer – 9 Years Together
Chely Wright broke early barriers for the queer community by courageously and openly embracing her identity as a gay country music artist. It was this very bravery that led her to find love in the arms of Lauren Blitzer. Merely two weeks after coming out, they crossed paths and embarked on a relationship that allowed them to flourish without any need for secrecy. The following year, they tied the knot with a joyous celebration attended by 200 guests on Blitzer’s aunt’s picturesque farm in Connecticut.
