Watch: Megan Fox & Machine Gun Kelly Are ENGAGED

Roses are red. Violets are blue. You love power couples? Well, E!'s got you.

In honor of Valentine's Day 2022, E! News is highlighting some of Hollywood's hottest new power couples. 

You know exactly who we mean—the ones who reunited after decades apart, who finally sealed it with a kiss, who did not hold back the PDA on the red carpet, whose blended families made our hearts melt and those who, yes, rocked matching SKIMS pajamas. 

These stars made us scream at our phones and believe in true love—that's their power. 

Some found each other after healing from recent heartbreaks, like Adele and Rich Paul or Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Others went from co-stars to something more (we're looking at you, Tom Holland and Zendaya, and Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly).

And, of course, rounding out the ultimate punk trio with MGK is Travis Barker and Pete Davidson, who each saw sparks fly with a Kardashian sister last year. Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian seem to be getting their happily ever afters, debuting new romances following their respective splits from Scott Disick (OK, it's been a minute, but still) and Kanye "Ye" West

Celebrity Couples Who Found Love on Set

What can we say? Love is clearly in the air. Here's who made the cut for the buzziest celebrity couples this Valentine's Day.

Matthew Lawrence & Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas

The Boy Meets World actor and the TLC singer began dating in 2022.

"We're just very happy and growing in our relationship," Chilli exclusively told E! News at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in March 2023. "I've dated, but this cancelled out everything."

The following May, her bandmate Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins told E! News, "This is the happiest I've seen her ever."

 

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker

The reality star and Blink-182 drummer are the epitome of the boy-and-girl-next-door tale. They literally started out as neighbors, went Instagram official for Valentine's Day 2021 and got engaged on the beach in Montecito, Calif. the following October. In 2022, they had a wedding ceremony in Las Vegas, then made it official with a courthouse ceremony in Santa Barbara, Calif. before exchanging vows a third time in a lavish wedding at Dolce & Gabbana's estate in Italy.

In June 2023, Kourtney announced she is pregnant with their first baby together.

Their child will join a large, blended family. Kourtney shares kids Mason, 12, Penelope, 9, and Reign, 7, with ex Scott Disick, while Travis is a dad to Landon, 18, and Alabama, 16, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, from his past marriage to Shanna Moakler

Kourtney and Travis seem to bring out the best in each other, making us obsessed with their dynamic that's part hardcore rocker and part giddy lovebirds. She has even inked those three words on his body. As Kourtney has put it, "I f--king love you more than anything. My favorite everything."

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly

Under the banyan tree, MGK put a ring on it. 

In 2021, the rapper proposed to Megan in the same spot where, more than a year earlier, they had asked each other "for magic," as she put it, describing how they embarked on their romantic journey. The duo had gone from Midnight in the Switchgrass co-stars to a rather unexpected couple, who isn't afraid to indulge in a lot of PDA (even when it involves tongue). 

And though MGK has since called their joint movie "trash," it seems their relationship is the treasure to come out of the whole experience, with Megan admitting it was love at first sight on set. 

"The second that I was in a room with him and said hello to him and looked into his eyes, I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame," she said. "We're actually two halves of the same soul I think. I said that to him almost immediately. I felt it right away."

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky

She's the only girl in the world for A$AP Rocky. 

The two sent fans into a frenzy in 2021 by sharing that they're expecting their first child together. The musicians posed for an intimate photo shoot in NYC, with RiRi's pregnant belly on full display. They welcomed their son, RZA, in May 2022. While performing the following year at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, Rihanna announced to the world that she was pregnant with her and A$AP's second baby.

Zendaya and Tom Holland

Our Spidey senses were tingling on this one. After years of speculation, Zendaya and Tom confirmed their off-screen romance in 2021, when they were spotted kissing in his car last summer—officially rounding out the trifecta of Spider-Man stars dating their leading ladies.

Tom later explained to GQ why they want to keep their romance more private going forward, saying, "A moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world."

It appears they've taken matters into their own hands, putting their banter on full display during their recent press tours for Dune and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Zendaya gave her candid reaction after Tom was revealed as her "celebrity crush," while the British actor later teased her by saying he's "petitioning" for a cameo in her TV series, Euphoria. Clearly, they can't get enough of each other.

Otherwise, fans have been left to speculate about their love story based on the couple's activity on social media. There was the time Tom called Z "my MJ" (we're swooning) and the cheeky moment the 5-foot-8 actor liked a post about short men having more sex. Enough said.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez

We're always here for a reboot.

Ben and Jen broke off their engagement in 2004, but reunited in May 2021, much to the delight of O.G. Bennifer stans. They married the following year.

Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum

Big little love: Zoë and Channing took a step up in their relationship over summer 2021 when they were seen laughing and enjoying a bike ride together.

Channing later shared his first photo with Zoë, posting a pic from Alicia Keys' party saying, "No body wanted to trifle with us on the dance floor music and vibe was next level."

They were soon showing PDA and holding hands while out in New York. The divorced stars even rocked couples costumes for Halloween, proving their go-to movie is Taxi Driver

And it appears the 21 Jump Street star is already bonding with Zoë's dad. He teased Lenny Kravitz about his abs, saying, "What are you eating or what's in the water or the genes." Lenny's spot-on response: "Dude, I'm just trying to get into the next Magic Mike."

Adele and Rich Paul

Thirty, flirty and thriving! In 2021, Adele unveiled her romance with the sports agent when they took their date night—where else—court side.

Following her divorce from Simon Konecki, which was officially settled last March, the Grammy winner struck up a relationship with Rich, who represents LeBron James and other basketball powerhouses. Basically, they're GOATS in their own entertainment realms.

"I met him at a birthday party. We were on the dance floor," the 30 artist told Oprah Winfrey. "And then we met a couple years later. We went out for dinner, which he says was a business meeting and I'm like ‘A business meeting about what?' And then it was the first time we hung out on our own. Without friends and I think that was a natural way that people would meet each other in real life."

Adele, who has been spotted attending games with Rich, said she adores him for his sense of humor and business acumen. "He's just hilarious. He's so funny," she remarked. "And very smart. Very, very smart. It's quite incredible watching him do what he does and just the easiness of it and very smooth."

Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer

Get the woman a tuxedo-printed t-shirt and besuitted Guy Fieri. After dating co-star Robert Pattinson and model Stella Maxwell, Kristen has found her one and only in Dylan, a screenwriter whose credits include Moxie and XOXO.

In 2021, the Twilight actress told Howard Stern that Dylan had popped the question after about two years together. "We're marrying. We're totally gonna do it," Kristen shared. "I wanted to be proposed to, so I think I very distinctly carved out what I wanted and she nailed it. We're marrying, it's happening."

Dylan shed some light on their dynamic when she praised Kristen for her work on Spencer last year, gushing on IG that she was "awful proud of this hard-working princess." 

Fans can't wait for these queer icons and artists to collaborate on a movie. It might even happen sooner than you'd think, because K. Stew told The New Yorker in November that they're working on a gay ghost-hunting reality show, teasing it as "a paranormal romp in a queer space."

Lana Condor and Anthony de la Torre

To all the boys she's loved before, you're out of luck. Anthony de la Torre is the one and only for TATB star Lana Condor.

In 2022, she said yes to the love of her life—who you may recognize as Young Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean—last month and showed off her beautiful engagement ring from Paris Jewellers. 

Lana gushed, "I consider myself the absolute luckiest woman alive to live in your sphere," adding, "Aside from my father, without a doubt, you are the greatest man in the world."

These rising stars are ready for their next chapter, with Lana noting, "I love you a million times over."

Britney Spears and Sam Asghari

Baby, Britney walked down the aisle one more time. 

The superstar, free from her conservatorship after 13 years, married the fitness guru in 2022. Fans took the two events, which both came before her 40th birthday, to represent a long overdue happily ever after for the singer.

As Britney shared on social media in 2021, "Not only has this cute a--hole been with me through the hardest years of my life but he happens to be an extremely good cook!" And when Sam popped the question, she wrote, "I can't f--king believe it." 

With Sam embarking on a new chapter of his acting career and supporting Britney on her personal journey, we definitely want these soon-to-be-newlyweds to give us, give us more.
