I Want What They Have, Colleagues-to-Lovers-to-Colleagues Edition: Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson
Love is a many-splendored thing, especially when you're gawking at it from the outside. In this new column, we'll be examining the celebrity couples—or, occasionally, friend pairs—who give us hope for our own romantic futures as we try to learn what we can from their well-documented bonds. I've only wanted the best for Katie Holmes since my inaugural viewing of the iconic 2004 rom-com First Daughter (is it effectively the same movie as Chasing Liberty, which was released that same year, presumably because studio execs don't communicate with each other? Absolutely, but how lucky were we to have a spare?), so it follows that I'm extremely dialed in to her various projects—the latest of which is a new film trilogy called Happy Hours. Also featured in it? None other than her former Dawson's Creek costar and real-life ex, Joshua Jackson. Obviously, Holmes is a fashion icon and screen legend and alumna of the Tom Cruise Sham Hollywood Marriage Program, class of 2012, so there is a lot to say and appreciate about her at any given moment. But…am I extremely washed for caring so much about her reunion with Jackson? The plot of Happy Hours allegedly revolves around 'two people navigating their relationship within the challenges of careers and family responsibilities and the pursuit of love, despite life's inevitable obstacles' (likely thing for them to do!), and I, for one, can't wait to see Holmes and Jackson as those selfsame two people. 'Working with Josh after so many years is a testament to friendship,' Holmes wrote on Instagram after news of the project broke. 'We can't wait for everyone to see what we make.' Holmes and Jackson c. 2000. Holmes and Jackson's relationship was decades ago, at this point; it also took place in the late 1990s (a decade teeming with romantic regret) while they were filming Dawson's Creek, and yes, Holmes did say that she and Jackson became 'best friends' after breaking up in 1998. But I can't help it; when I look at these two laughing it up on a park bench, I want them to be in love! Is that so wrong? As far as we (okay, I; I don't know who the royal 'we' was meant to refer to) know, Holmes and Jackson are possibly both single right now; Jackson split from his wife and co-parent Jodie Turner-Smith in 2023 and Holmes ended her relationship with Grammy-nominated musician Bobby Wooten III the year before. Still, just because two adults are both single and look good as hell on a bench doesn't mean they're necessarily destined to find romantic love. In fact, I kind of love the fact that Holmes and Turner are back in each other's lives as colleagues. I mean, who knows you better than your ex-onscreen-boyfriend, who just happens to also be your ex-boyfriend, who also just so happens to be your bestie? Counting down the moments until Happy Hours is my new Before Sunrise!

I Want What They Have: Tour de France Cyclist Jonas Vingegaard and His Wife, Trine Hansen
Love is a many-splendored thing, especially when you're gawking at it from the outside. In this column, we'll be examining the celebrity couples that give us hope for our own romantic futures and trying to learn what we can from their well-documented bonds. It's really not like me to want anything that a professional athlete has (apart from the muscle tone and impressive dedication to physical excellence, that is), but I have to admit that I'm extremely charmed by the love story unfolding in front of us, between two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard and his wife, Trine Hansen. (A retired rower herself, Hansen currently works as a talent manager.) Celebrating Vingegaard's win at the 2023 Tour de France. Outside of this couple's obvious photogenic adorable-ness (just look at them with their baby!), I love the fact that Hansen has spoken out about just how grueling her husband's training regimen is, telling a Danish newspaper this month that all of Vingegaard's travel was 'squeezing the lemon too much.' 'It starts in February and it's back and forth every other week… It's a really tough life,' she said. 'Jonas doesn't recharge when he's on another three-week altitude training camp with the team. He really needs to be with us at home in Denmark to do that.' Apparently, Hansen's comments have unleashed a firestorm of controversy within the cycling world, to which I can only say…why? Vingegaard's Visma-Lease a Bike team has insisted there's no issue with the athlete's schedule, but if you're going to win not one, but two Tours, I assume your hours do, indeed, have to be pretty insane, not to mention all the travel and the physical exertion. Is it really so wrong for Hansen to say something about it? We love a queen who stands up for her man, even if it makes her unpopular!

I Want What They Have, Friendship Edition: Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander
Love is a many-splendored thing, especially when you're gawking at it from the outside. In this new column, we'll be examining the celebrity couples—or, occasionally, friend pairs—who give us hope for our own romantic futures as we try to learn what we can from their well-documented bonds. Living in Los Angeles, where I've become way too accustomed to bad news of the 'wildfires engulfing the city' and 'ICE chasing down innocent migrants in Home Depot parking lots' variety, it's been lovely to dial into the joyful energy of New York—the city that was my home for 13 years—since Zohran Mamdani defeated Andrew Cuomo in the New York mayoral primary this week. Of course, Mamdani isn't mayor yet; he still has the general election in November to contend with. But I'm feeling a lot better about his chances, knowing that former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander is on his side. After the two mayoral candidates endorsed each other on June 13, the sight of them answering some, well, extremely pointed questions on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert together was a beautiful and sorely needed reminder of the long history of solidarity between Jews and Muslims. And then there's the matter of how goofy and nontraditionally masculine Lander and Mamdani's friendship is. I mean, just look at them cruising up Prospect Park West to a joint canvassing event on Citi Bikes:

Who Is Jennifer Garner's Businessman Boyfriend?
Love is a many-splendored thing, especially when you're gawking at it from the outside. In this column, we'll be examining the celebrity couples that give us hope for our own romantic futures and trying to learn what we can from their well-documented bonds. Although I've obsessively chronicled Jennifer Lopez's every saucy, single-girl move since the end of her marriage to Ben Affleck, there's another Hollywood Jen I just can't seem to quit: Jennifer Garner, Affleck's first wife and reputed buddy. As a rule, I hope desperately and constantly for Garner's happiness, which is why it delighted me so much to see her share a kiss with John Miller, her boyfriend of seven years, at the finish line of a charity run Garner did in Santa Monica for Save the Children last Sunday. Women celebrating their men when they complete athletic feats? Boring. The inverse? Stunning, supportive, adorable, never been done before. Given Garner is fully in her 50s, I know that I should stop thinking of her as Jenna Rink, her character from 13 Going on 30, but I can't help it; when I see her adorably decked out in two French braids, demurely planting a peck on her man, I immediately think of Jenna marrying sweet, sweet Matty—a.k.a. Mark Ruffalo—at the end of the movie while everyone cheers. After all that tabloid fracas around her divorce, this is the soft-pink, Vaseline-lensed Hollywood fade-out that Garner has always deserved. There's not a ton of information out there about Miller, save for the fact that he's chairman of the investment company Cali Group and the author of the 2004 book The Handbook of Nanotechnology: Business, Policy, and Intellectual Property Law. (Weirdly, I haven't read it, although I did get through about three pages of a pink-jacketed book on entertainment law while waiting for my best friend in her law school's library. Please clap!) I also enjoy the fact that Miller was briefly CEO of CaliBurger, a fast-food chain best-known for flagrantly ripping off In-N-Out, and that one of the kids he shares with his ex-wife, violinist Caroline Campbell, is named Violet. Given that one of Garner and Affleck's daughters is also a Violet, do they adopt 'Violet 1 and Violet 2' nicknames when they hang out? (I mean, after seven years together, I assume that Miller and Garner's children hang out…but what do I know? You famously can't make teens do anything!)

I Want What They Have, Pride Edition: Anna Camp and Jade Whipkey
Love is a many-splendored thing, especially when you're gawking at it from the outside. In this column, we'll be examining the celebrity couples that give us hope for our own romantic futures and trying to learn what we can from their well-documented bonds. As far as I'm concerned, it's always good news whenever somebody famous joins the LGBTQ+ community (except for TERFs! We don't want you at our party! Go flood J.K. Rowling's mentions hoping she'll notice you!), so as you can imagine, I'm practically doing calisthenics over Pitch Perfect star Anna Camp and stylist Jade Whipkey, who confirmed their relationship back in May. Camp has previously been married to men—actors Michael Mosley and Skylar Astin, to be specific—and I don't know precisely how she now identifies (as a lesbian? Bisexual? All-around queer?), but I'm extremely excited to have her batting for the rainbow team, so to speak. Unfortunately, social media seems to disagree, given Camp and Whipkey have faced some backlash over their 18-year age gap. For her part, 42-year-old Camp has responded with absolute grace and aplomb, writing in a comment on Instagram: 'I've dated men exactly my age and Jade is far more mature than any of them. We have more in common than anyone else I've ever dated and can literally talk about anything and everything. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I'm wishing everyone well, especially this pride month.' Yes, Anna! Get those immature men's asses! Has anyone instinctively criticizing this relationship ever heard of, oh, I don't know, Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor? To be clear, I'm not always a fan of the May/December dynamic, even when the May and December are both queer; that said, I think the trick to figuring out whether an age-gap relationship can work is a) actually being in it (stand down, armchair quarterbacks!) and b) gauging how emotionally mature and/or ready for a relationship the younger person in the equation is. If Whipkey were newly 18 and dating a woman double her age, sure, I might have doubts, but she's 24! As a proud lesbian alumna (class of '22) and current bisexual who dated a fair number of older men—and even older women—in my single era, yes, certain challenges can arise from that arrangement. But then again, it's kind of fun to explain TikTok home reno videos to your older paramour over drinks; and they, in turn, can come in handy when it's time to figure out what a 401K is and what, exactly, should be in yours.
