When you think of Hollywood power couples, the same names have come to mind for the last several years: Jay Z and Beyoncé, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively...

However, as some of those couples have split up (pour one out for Brangelina), it's looking like 2017 has some open space at the table for a few more famous names.

This year, we've already confirmed at least two major couples who have sparked up a romance, and there are a few more lovebirds who are making headlines more than ever.

Check out the power couples who are already taking over 2017 below:

Selena Gomez & The Weeknd: These two sparked romance rumors when they were spotted smooching in public after a three-hour date night in January.

Why They're On Top Right Now: With a voice that's comparable to Michael Jackson and a never-ending list of hits, The Weeknd is hands down one of the most successful singers in the business right now. His highly publicized relationship with Bella Hadid only gained him more fame, keeping his name in the headlines even after they split. Now, he's teamed up with SelGo, who is looking to make her comeback after staying out of the spotlight last year. The former Disney star has already made headlines for some secret, sexy photo shoots as well as new music and collaborations. To say this is their time is an understatement!

As they continue attending all the biggest awards shows this season, they've made headlines as one of the most-loved couple each night with their adorable relationship. 

Not to mention, Teigen has become a household name thanks to her popular cook book as well as her no-nonsense honesty on social media. With all of that as well as their precious daughter, Luna, 2017 has already turned them into one of the most famous couple's in Hollywood.

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes: Yes, they're another couple that's been together for quite a few years, but we've never really heard much about them...until now.

Why They're On Top Right Now: In one of his first moments ever speaking publicly about their family life at home, Gosling proved just how much he loves Mendes when he thanked her during his acceptance speech for Best Actor. "I would like to try to thank one person properly and say while I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I've ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second, and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer," Ryan shared. "If she hadn't have taken all that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me today. So sweetheart, thank you."

And with that, we realized they're in it for the long run with a love that only keeps getting stronger.

Jennifer Lopez & Drake: We're giving this duo honorable mention. While they sparked romance rumors at the very end of 2016 and kept the fire burning with more outings into the first couple weeks of 2017, it appears they've cut things off. 

A source told E! News they "have taken some time apart, not because they don't want to be with each other, just because their schedules started getting insane."

Why They Were On Top: Drake is one of the biggest names in rap music right now, and J.Lo is, well, J. Lo. They're two power players in their own fields, and together, they make for one fierce force to be reckoned with. Needless to say, we're rooting for them to find time for each other in the future!
