Our Favorite Hollywood Multicultural Couples

One of the greatest benefits of finding true love is the ability to be blind to color, race, and religion and although it has become the norm, interracial romance should still be celebrated. What better way to honor such an epic feat for the human race than taking a look at the greatest interracial celebrity couples ever?

With an Armenian background coming from Kim and African American from Kanye, the two make quite a power couple and have some seriously cute kids! Sadly, they separated in 2021.

Comedian and actress Maya Rudolph met her filmmaker "husband," Paul Thomas Anderson, in 2001. And while the two have been together ever since, they are not legally married, even though Rudolph does refer to Anderson as her husband. But it works for them for a very specific reason.

During an interview with US Weekly, Rudolph said, “I think, genuinely, like the effort to make an effort — [that's] the most romantic gesture. Like, to be present. To show up every day is kind of the most romantic part because you can bail at any moment.”
