Supercouples have come a long way in American culture. Currently, the most noteworthy couples include such pairings as:
- “Bennifer” – Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez
- “TomKat” – Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
- “Brangelina” – Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
- “Jate” – Jack and Kate from ‘Lost’
- “LoVe” – Logan and Veronica Mars
- and even “Billary” – Bill and Hilary Clinton
Wikipedia lists the standards that define a Supercouple:
Couples that merit such a title include:
- Mania (significant press, media attention, etc. being placed on the couple, having to do with charm)
- Labeled a supercouple by valid sources
- Notable impact (having defined the medium by either Number 1 criteria cited above or by becoming a defacto symbol for its genre)
- Listed as an all-time top romance (this usually applying to television, film and video game couples)
Each of these examples has been identified by scholars, critics and press as defining a supercouple.
Luckily, we have just such a person that meets the above standards on BairdBlog!
