The Met Gala has long been known as the most fashionable red carpet of the year — the carpet, nay, stairs, you strut while showing the world just how into fashion you are. But like other red carpets, it can also be the place where rumored couples are minted as the real deal. This year's event was no exception, with several couples officially posing together for the first time. These are the Met Gala couples [1] who were ready to show the world their love.
Selena Gomez and The Weeknd
Though Selena and The Weeknd have been seen making out [3] all over the world in paparazzi shots, this is the first time the new couple has brought their very affectionate love [4] to a red carpet event.
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have only been dating [5] for a few weeks, but they were already ready to make this love a thing with a red carpet appearance [6]. Welcome, J-Rod.
Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian
Serena is pregnant [7] and engaged to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian [8], but the Met Gala was the first public event they attended together (and the first place she revealed her growing bump [9]).
Kendall Jenner and A$AP Rocky
Kendall, who had everyone talking [10] in a barely-there dress [11], didn't give the world an obvious "we're together" pose with rumored new boyfriend A$AP Rocky while walking the carpet, but they didn't exactly keep their new romance under wraps. They were spotted before and later at the event getting touchy-feely [12].
