Quaran-teams: The celebrities giving us isolation couple goals
Some of our favourite celebrity couples are proving that love is still very much alive, even in Corona-induced lockdown.
As the world hunkers down and abides by the rules to stay at home, stars and their SOs around the world are using this time to keep their fans entertained on social media, while simultaneously melting even the coldest of hearts.
Take GLAMOUR cover star and all round top hun Chrissy Teigen and husband John Legend, who always look the epitome of wedded bliss, but even more so during these strange self-isolating times. John took to Instagram Live to play some live music for his fans, while Chrissy sat on the piano drinking wine (natch), then more recently, Chrissy has been sharing her delicious-looking cooking sessions, with adorable cameos from their children Luna and Miles.
Many celeb couples have taken to TikTok to practice their dance moves (looking at you, Biebers), while Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson – who are serious couple goals at the best of times, having been married since 1988 – have been keeping themselves entertained in quarantine, after testing positive for Covid-19, by playing Gin Rummy. They're both doing okay now, thankfully (and Rita's winning Gin Rummy).
On this side of the pond, Love Island runners-up Luke Trotman and Siannise Fudge have been sharing their 'quarantine and chill' on Insta Stories.
In fact, Luke T posted an entire guide on how to survive quarantine with your spouse. Sharing a snap of the couple's iconic dance to Wiley's Heatwave, he wrote:
'1. Stay fit. Home workouts. Walks/runs. TikTok dances. Breakfast.’ (Yep, 'breakfast' is Love Island 2020 lingo for 'doing bits').
'2. Give each other space. We’re all gonna get on each other’s nerves at some point, stay patient.’
'3. Get dressed up. Getting dressed up to stay in is funnier than it looks! Have a dinner date or mini party.’
'MOST IMPORTANTLY, STAY POSITIVE!'
Wise words, Luke T.
Here are how some of our favourite celeb couples are spending their loved-up time in lockdown...
InstagramEmily Ratajkowski and Sebastian Bear-McClard (& Colombo)
Em-Rata and husband Sebastian have been self-quarantining at their NYC home since mid-March, along with their adorable dog Colombo, according to her Instagram. The 28-year-old model shared a photo of her husband cuddling their dog, looking out of the window, with the caption: 'Self-quaranted with my babies'. Em-Rata has also been posting lots of content to keep her fans entertained, from answering Q&As on her Stories to posting vids cheers-ing herself with a glass of wine in the bathroom mirror. We stan.
InstagramChrissy Teigen and John Legend
We are so here for Chrissy and John at all times, but especially right now. While the couple have been filling their time in quarantine in their California beachside home with at-home concerts, cooking demos and fun posts for their fans, the pair did admit that staying indoors isn't all fun and games. "We’re holding up fine," Chrissy said via video on Monday 6th April to kick off Ellen DeGeneres's at-home show. "We are obviously making the best of it. It was definitely getting to us a little bit... it’s fun to be able to be light-hearted and make jokes and try to make people happy and laugh about it, but then it really hits you and you go through these ups and downs. What we’re going through right now is unprecedented."
InstagramLady Gaga and Michael Polansky
Lady Gaga shared this snap, with tech CEO boyfriend Michael Polansky, on March 18th with the caption:
"Day 6 of self-quarantining! Going strong, playing video games and cards, and taking care of ourselves. Important reminder: keep your mind as stress free as possible and your body moving. #selflove #selfcare #bekind try not to pass it in case you have it #corona it’s ok and so wonderful to stay home if you can!What a kind act for the world ❤️"

"Hey folks. Good News: One week after testing Positive, in self-isolation, the symptoms are much the same. No fever but the blahs. Folding the laundry and doing the dishes leads to a nap on the couch. Bad news: My wife @ritawilson has won 6 straight hands of Gin Rummy and leads by 201 points."

Brooklyn Beckham is in lockdown in New York with girlfriend Nicola Peltz, and the new couple have been documenting their quarantine activities on the 'gram. They've had make-up sessions, Q&As, cooking videos, and spent the day baking 100 cupcakes for their local hospital.
