From Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet to Posh and Becks, Harper's Bazaar selects potential prospects for a second season of Ryan Murphy's 'Love Story'.
It goes without saying that Hollywood loves a love story. Since the premiere of Ryan Murphy and Connor Hines's new anthology series that has revived the American fairytale that was John F. Kennedy Jr.
and Carolyn Bessette's marriage, we've hit peak JFK Jr. and CBK-mania. But with the season finale looming at the end of this month, we're already plotting who we'd want to see front and center for a potential sophomore season of the show. Considering the limited series has quickly become the top-streamed FX series on Hulu and Disney+, we think it's safe to assume we'll see many more love stories on our screen in the years to come. From paparazzi magnets like Bennifer and the Beckhams to literary legends like Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne, there is plenty of celebrity romantic lore worth exploring. Because we love to daydream, ahead we've rounded up the 12 legendary Hollywood couples that we'd be eager to see reimagined for Love Story season 2. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck It doesn't get bigger than Bennifer. Along with being one of the earliest examples of a tabloid-anointed couple name, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's first go around is a cautionary tale of how we've adopted parasocial relationships with Hollywood pairings. But the fact that they tried again in 2020, married, and divorced over twenty years after their initial relationship? Well they're practically the Elizabeth Burton and Richard Burton of our time. Iman and David Bowie If Ryan Murphy and co. want to continue down the fashionable iconic couples route, supermodel Iman and music legend David Bowie perfectly fit the bill. The pair famously met via a blind date in Los Angeles in the '80s and from there their union became one of fashion and music's greatest collaborations. Plus, imagine the costumes! Michelle and Barack Obama Is there a couple more beloved than former President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama? The early years of their relationship—recounted via books, documentaries, and films over the years—is every bit of a Southside Chicago fairytale. And because Michelle has openly stated over the years how much she did not want Barack to run for office years back, there's some built-in tension behind the scenes ripe for television story-telling. Victoria and David Beckham Victoria and David Beckham are the living embodiment of the term power couple. The former Spice Girl turned fashion designer and soccer legend/savvy businessman captivated the world with their late '90s union that brought together the worlds of pop culture and sport spectacle in a way that we had never seen before—and are still intrigued by today. Plus, we need to see those bright purple wedding ensembles recreated for the screen. Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz Name a cooler couple—we dare you. Even though actress Lisa Bonet and rock star Lenny Kravitz broke up in 1991, their shared aura lives on forever, and in their own way, they share their own sort of happy ending by still continuing to be close friends even today, thanks to their years of coparenting their only child, a little someone named Zoe Kravitz. Much like with the case of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette though, good luck finding two actors as beautiful as the real people to play their parts. Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith Simply put, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett's three decade-long union is one of pop culture's most fascinating tales. They both rose to fame during the '90s and have been very open about the highs and lows of their marriage over the years. They've still stuck together throughout it all and a series like Love Story could explore the in-between of why exactly that is. Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson You thought we forgot about this early-aughts moment? Think again. At what was arguably the height of Lindsay Lohan's career as a party and paparazzi darling, she had a year-long relationship with DJ Sam Ronson that fascinated the tabloids. Even while endlessly photographed, their relationship somehow remained fairly private, with Lohan later describing their pairing as more like 'best friends' than anything else. Mariah Carey and Luis Miguel Two of music's most beautiful voices sharing a glamorous, whirlwind, three-year fling? That's top tier TV right there. Affectionately dubbed the 'Songbird Supreme' and the 'Latin Sinatra,' Carey and Miguel met on a fated trip to Aspen and trotted across the globe while many, many cameras followed. While their relationship didn't last, their lore lives on via Pinterest boards and early aughts Instagram accounts everywhere. Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne With the rise of BookTok viewers are eager to see some of our legendary writers receive the TV treatment. Few modern day literary couples were as revered as Didion and her husband of 40 years, author and screenwriter John Gregory Dunne. Not only was he the assumed muse behind her most famous work, The Year of Magical Thinking, but together they kept a stacked Rolodex of high profile friends that would make for entertaining cameos. Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain There a few couples who together defined the '90s like Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain. Their love was complex, chaotic, and similar to Love Story, also ended in tragedy, but their joint influence lives on in their music. Take us back to the time of beat-up flannels and when MTV was MTV! Let it be known we don't believe for a second that Love herself would ever approve a TV series such as this, but we can dream. Bianca Jagger and Mick Jagger Let's be clear, Mick Jagger has had his fair share of famous relationships times and you could likely produce a TV series about any of those past partnerships. Jagger and model, actress, and designer Bianca Pérez-Mora Macias, however, exemplified pure, unfiltered, Studio 54 glamour. If Love Story wants to follow in its footsteps of recreating iconic weddings, the Jaggers fit the bill with their 1971 nuptials and Bianca's timeless and eternally referenced creamy white bridal pantsuit. Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake There's so much lore surrounding Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake three-year union as not only one of the early aughts most defining couples, but also one of the most powerful within pop music at the time. The two bonded over the early beginnings as cast members on Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club and went on to conquer the music industry together—Spears as a solo artist and Timberlake leading one of the biggest boy bands of all time, *NSYNC. Since the release of Spears's memoir The Woman in Me however, fans have learned there was much more to their story that was under wraps for decades.
