While some celebrity couples keep mum about their relationships, these two love to dote over each other on social media and in public -- and they're very good at it. Case in point: Upon being honored at Glamour's Women of the Year Awards in November, Stefani praised Shelton for his support over the past year. "I am so honored and grateful. And to my children, to my family, to Blake Shelton for kissing me back to life, thank you so much. I am blown away!" she exclaimed. The "Misery" singer also told ET at the event, "It's incredible to have a best friend like that guy. He's an amazing person." And their red carpet debut at the GRAMMYs in February? Hubba hubba!

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend

This sweet pair still swoon over each other on social media nearly daily, but one of their best moments of 2016 came when they celebrated their three-year wedding anniversary a little early, returning to the beautiful house in Como, Italy, where Legend's music video for his hit song, "All of Me," was filmed. Teigen starred in the romantic video, and in honor of their anniversary, the two decided to recreate a few of the sexy scenes on Snapchat. Cap off a year that included welcoming their first child, Luna, tons of PDA-filled date nights, and more leg-baring dresses on Teigen than we can count, and it's safe to say this couple has still got it -- and then some!

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux

The actress admitted on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that she has not seen Theroux all that much this year, but he made it up to her on Thanksgiving, surprising her with a return home from Germany. "Everyone was just very somber [before he arrived] and next thing you know, turkey walks in, and there was another turkey holding that turkey and that was my hubby." the Office Christmas Party star recalled.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom

AKM-GSI
Even though this relationship is relatively new, the pair seem like a match made in heaven -- and they're great at playing dress up. For Halloween, Perry donned a very detailed Hillary Clinton costume, while Bloom went as a version of Donald Trump. Then in December, the duo brought holiday cheer to a children's hospital as Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

And PDA? We saw that, too. In fact, Bloom was quite uninhibited during a beach vacation with his pop star girlfriend in August. While his naked paddle boarding made the most headlines, Bloom also got pretty handsy with Perry while frolicking in the sun and surf -- not a first for them that summer.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

We got to LOL when Reynolds used his trademark dry humor to wish his wife a happy 29th birthday in August and swoon when Lively returned the favor when her husband turned 40 in October. But the best moment of 2016 came when the awesome couple brought their two daughters -- 2-year-old James and 3-month-old Ines -- to Reynold's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. The momentous occasion marked the couple's young daughters' public debut, and, though usually photo shy when it comes to their kids, the parents looked very proud of their blonde brood.

David and Victoria Beckham

The fashionable British husband-and-wife team are pure #RelationshipGoals, and that was especially jealousy-inducing in July when they celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary. The former soccer pro toasted with a flashback photo from his wedding day, captioning it, "Wow, 17 years ago to this day this happened... I was lucky to meet someone who has the same drive and wanted the same things in life... We have created four beautiful children and I couldn't wish for a more loving and caring mummy for them... Happy anniversary, I love you." The fashion tribute also shared a throwback with her "best friend, my love."

And the honeymoon certainly isn't over for these two -- during a rare joint appearance at the Global Shopping Festival Countdown Gala in China, Victoria shared a Snapchat story of herself gawking at her husband's toned butt. Can you blame her?

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman

We can't get enough of these lovely Australians, who always look lucky in love! One of their cutest moments came when Kidman asked Urban to come with her to The Tonight Show -- to the surprise of host Jimmy Fallon. In an earlier interview, Kidman admitted to once wanting Fallon to ask her on a date when she was single.

In the actress' follow-up appearance, Fallon was visibly surprised when Urban showed up onstage and planted a big kiss on his wife’s lips. Kidman then sat on her husband's lap. "How did you pull this off? How did I not see you?" the shocked host exclaimed. "I even visited you quickly backstage to say hi, and you didn't bring this up at all."

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake

The "Can't Stop the Feeling" singer shared a super cute photo of Biel holding their son Silas on Mother's Day that was accompanied by an equally adorable caption. "M.I.L.F. Alert!!!! Happy Mother's Day to this AMAZING MOM AND WIFE," Timberlake gushed. "And, to all of the mothers out there... You keep the world turning!! Hope every single one of you has an amazing day!" Not only that, but the duo packed on rare PDA at the Critics' Choice Awards in December.

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris

We love how much fun these two have together! Faris and Pratt proved they were the biggest fans of the Seattle Seahawks when they saw the NFL team take on the Philadelphia Eagles in November. The game day included autographed jerseys from the players and adorable photos of the couple posing in the stadium.  "Me and Anna just busting through that #12s wall real quick," the Guardians of the Galaxy star captioned a humorous photo of the couple.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson

This husband-and-wife duo and their sweet red carpet PDA leaves us feeling good about love!

In October, ET celebrated Wilson's 60th birthday with the couple at the L.A. premiere of Hanks' film, Inferno. Doting on his wife, Hanks shared the best advice he ever received from his spouse: "Go change... change that! Get out of that! Go back in your closet, you're not wearing that tonight! I used to have this thing that -- I loved it -- was a baseball jersey from Japan. It was great! It had pin stripes, it was old and it said Nerima, which is I guess a neighborhood in Tokyo. And she actually started warning me in advance, 'This is a non-Nerima event we are going to tonight.' It used to make me mad but now I've come to accept it."

Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor

Over the year they've been dating, these two haven't hidden their love for one another! Not only did Paulson tell The New York Times that she was in love with Taylor back in March, she reiterated that statement while accepting an Emmy for her portrayal of Marcia Clark in The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, telling Taylor, "I love you."

Ciara and Russell Wilson

Instagram
It's been a big year for this couple. After getting married in a castle in England in July, Ciara announced in October that she was pregnant with her and Wilson's first child (the singer is already mom to 2-year-old Future Jr, whose dad is rapper Future). Not missing a moment to gush over her guy, Ciara posted a video in November of herself dancing in the snow in celebration of her hubby's 28th birthday, captioned in part, "It's Only right I do a little Dance... Love You Baby!" Then in December, Ciara -- clad in a Seahawks jersey and everything! -- posted a pic of herself sitting on Wilson's lap as he caressed her baby bump. So cute!

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum

Instagram
In an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, Dewan-Tatum revealed what it's like to have sex with her handsome husband. "I've always been a very sexual person," she confessed. "Something about being a dancer connects you to your physical body. It's primal, earthy, sexual energy by nature. You feel your body in a certain way." As for her husband? "Channing is very much the same way," she said. "He's very in tune with that."

Tatum was just as kind while speaking of his wife. When Dewan-Tatum turned 36 in December, her hubby penned her a loving birthday message on Instagram: "@jennaldewan I'm not sure if this woman is my Rainbow or my pot of gold but I'm lucky either way happy birthday cake baby!"

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

An American in Buckingham Palace? It's possible now that Harry is dating Markle. Not only was the royal twinning with the Suits star when the first pic of the pair together was snapped in London in mid-December, the chivalrous prince went public about his relationship by defending Markle against disparaging comments and invasion of privacy in a lengthy statement released by the Kensington Palace on his behalf.

"It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Ms. Markle should be subjected to such a storm," the statement read. "He knows commentators will say this is 'the price she has to pay' and that 'this is all part of the game.' He strongly disagrees. This is not a game -- it is her life and his." Points, Harry!
