A room full of roses, fancy dinners, and painful engagement rings have been some ways that celebrities have shown off how much they love their significant other throughout the year. But today is Valentine’s Day, a day all about pink and red decorations and going harder than every other couple in your social-media feed. Sure, it’s a reminder to celebrate the love of your life and the memories you make together. But doesn’t it feel so good to see you had a better holiday than someone else? Whether it was a trip to the movies to see Marry Me or a cozy night in watching Love Is Blind, there’s something special about doing something on a romantic holiday, even if it’s during a pandemic. Although Valentine’s Day falls on a Monday, celebrities wasted no time showing us how much they love each other (and how much they love Instagram!) — except for the ones who broke up (they still love Instagram, though!).

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

His and hers vanity brands.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez

J.Lo shared the V-Day love with her newsletter (???), with a video that Ben Affleck had edited to celebrate Bennifers 1.0 and 2.0. Moments of Ben and Jen’s 2002–2004 relationship were cut into Lopez’s latest single, “On My Way.” Lopez said she’d normally only share the video with her inner circle, but this was too sweet not to share. “Watching it made me think about the journey of true love, its unexpected twists and turns, and that when it’s real, it actually can last forever,” Lopez wrote. “This seriously melted my heart.”
