Joe Lando and Jane Seymour from Dr. Quinn. They are still iconic, and they were the most hot, sexy, beautiful pairing in TV history, period! and they should be on this list since they actually were together in real life. They got together during the filming of the Dr.Quinn pilot, then went to Bora-Bora on vacation, had a big fight there, and broke up; after they returned they got the news that Dr Quinn was picked up by the network and they had to play lovers for the six years while in real life they were freshly broken up lol Iit's such a shame it didn't work out between them in real life, they were brilliant and amazing together!

[@CJPDeQueen]

Not sure there wasn't eventual tension between them considering Nina left the show before it finished. And for some it felt obvious with their opinions of the feeling of awkwardness in their reunion scenes and lack of onscreen chemistry that they previously had in spades. I don't believe they are in contact with one another anymore.

[@IrinNovy]

Unfortunately they lost the on-screen chemistry.

[@MrsAlyHowell]

They should have done Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes instead of Rachel McAdams, you know, especially since they are still together and have kids. Love those two!!!

[@actualkarenokboomer3158]

Since "The Notebook" was filmed from November 7, 2002- Feb 3, 2003 and the movie was released June 25, 2004 and they didn't get together for another year, let's just say they are both good actors because it was over 2 years after filming stopped until they were together. I haven't seen any comments from Ryan on the 10th anniversary in 2014, but then Eva was about to make him a father in a couple of months.

[@kaylenejantjes8113]

I feel like some of the cast of Buffy were over looked. Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof, I believe, met on Buffy and are still married. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prince Jnr also met on a film set, I think it was I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Pardon me while I roll my eyes at "Brangelina." Now, on to my favorites. Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr. Courtney Cox and David Arquette Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell Jared Padalecki and Genevieve Padalecki

[@yeahno.2698]

[@yeahno.2698]

BLAKE LIVELY N RYAN REYNOLDS ARE THE TOP TIER

[@CatoNumbla]

Almost all couples I like, and almost all are good examples here except Blake&Ryan, and Courtney Cox& David Arquette. Because if you say NO to 'Brangelina' - which I agree with because they were too fake and ended up badly - then the two couples I mentioned, for similar reasons, shouldn't be on your list either. Blake & Ryan is a no for me because I think they made too much of a 'brand' and a 'business' out of their marriage and relationship, and I don't like them as people overall, they just seem fake, exactly like Brangelina always was for me. And Courtney & David because they also, sadly, ended up ugly. I don't know if you know this story but David cheated on Courtney multiple times with escorts, and that led to their divorce. They may be amicable now, but it was ugly, and Cortney said so herself in the interview a few years ago. The rest of the couples on your list are really true love, natural, and genuine, but Blake&Ryan and Courtney& David - nope.

[@russelconor8704]

Sophia Bush& Jesse Lee Soffer from Chicago PD should be on this list, and certainly, Jane Seymour and Joe Lando from Dr.Quinn should be there, as they were absolutely iconic, and their situation was quite similar to Ian and Nina's situation. The only difference is that Joe and Jane were not together during the filming of the show, but met and got together during the filming of the first version of the pilot and didn't know at that time if the network would pick up the show. They got together for a few months, and fell crazy in love with each other, but then had a huge fight during their vacation on Bora-Bora and broke up, and then after they returned, they got the news that CBS picked up Dr. Quinn, and they have to play lovers for a few years! While they were freshly broken up in real life, and their feelings were still raging, especially Joe who was madly in love with Jane and his heart broken. That must have been very hard to deal with! But they remained very professional during the whole run of the show, even tho Joe was clearly hurt still, and Jane said they had this period of not speaking to each other between scenes, during the breaks from filming their scenes lol And now they are the best of friends!

[@amparonarbona5142]

Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger? Shia Lebouf and Mia Goth? Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix?

[@TimetravelingArchaeologist]

Since they didn't last really, I'd take off Nina and Ian, or any of the short romances, and replace them with Jared and Gen Padalecki. Or pretty much half of the Supernatural cast because half of them are married to one another lol.
