A Year In Celesbian Romance!

Photo: Instagram

2016 was one wild ride for queer celebrity romance.

Going off Kristen Stewart and Alicia Cargile’s relationship drama alone, I could write a lengthy dissertation and Off-Broadway show on this crazy year in girl-on-girl love. Let’s just say there were numerous times this year when I wondered if I was witnessing a Grey’s Anatomy plot unfold or actual real life.

A particular breaking point for me might have been when Kristen was first spotted with St. Vincent… that was quite the plot twist I did not see coming. Never did I think Ms. Annie Clark would swap out Cara Delevingne for Stewart following their two-year romance!

Despite the insanity of this year, there were are a lot of grounding moments, like when Sarah Paulson FINALLY confirmed her relationship with Holland Taylor (AKA the gift that keeps on giving). These two are everything and then some!

Without further ado, check out our recap of queer celeb love in 2016!

Ruby & The Veronicas’s Jessica Origliasso Reconnect: Could there be a more perfect couple than Ruby and Jessica? After first meeting in 2008, the two engaged in an on-and-off relationship before finally reuniting after Rose’s breakup with Harley.

In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Origliasso revealed:

“It’s me. Me and Ruby Rose. And it is our love story in this video. We’ve been friends for eight years. We just reconnected over doing this video. We sort of just fell in love. It’s pretty cute, honestly. We support each other in our careers and we support one another and be there. It made sense to be able to come out on that level because we want to be there in each other’s lives on a public level. It’s just this crazy thing when you care about someone for so long and then you have the chance to reconnect. We’ve grown up a lot, we met very early on. We were very different people – we were babies!”

Kristen Stewart & Alicia Cargile Breakup… AGAIN: I guess this one just wasn’t meant to be! Just a few months after Kristen proclaimed her love for Alicia, the two had an amicable breakup. As of now, it’s still unclear why the ladies called it quits.

Kristen Stewart & St. Vincent Start Dating: Wait, what?! While a lot of us did not see this one coming, it looks like the two are in it for the long haul. From attending New York Fashion Week together to recently collaborating on Stewart’s short film Come Swim, it appears this pairing is NOT just a fling. Sorry, Cara!

Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli Get Engaged: After dating for two years, Lauren proposed to the Orange Is The New Black star while the two were on vacation in Palm Springs. The pair’s engagement announcement continues to give me all the feelings and I eagerly await this wedding as if it’s my own.

We were very different people – we were babies!”

“I think also right now I’m just really in love with my girlfriend. We’ve broken up a couple of times and gotten back together, and this time I was like, ‘Finally, I can feel again.”
Ruby & Harley Call Things Off: While this low-key breakup wasn’t too surprising, it was a bummer since the pair made a cute couple. At least Harley got to attend Taylor Swift’s 4th July party before the two called it quits!

Cara & St. Vincent Breakup: Despite the engagement rumors, this beloved couple split after not being seen out together in public for months. While it’s not clear why these two are over, it’s most likely due to the ladies’ hectic schedules… there’s only so long you can make a long distance relationship work until something has to give!

Kristen Declares She’s “Really In Love” With Alicia: I think queer ladies everywhere breathed a collective sigh of when the actress finally proclaimed her love for Alicia. It was the first time the star was direct and affirmative about her relationship with Ms. Cargile amid all the years they had been together.

Speaking to Elle UK, the 26-year-old gushed:

“I think also right now I’m just really in love with my girlfriend. We’ve broken up a couple of times and gotten back together, and this time I was like, ‘Finally, I can feel again.”

Cara & St. Vincent Spark Engagement Rumors: After Cara was spotted with a giant sparkler on THAT hand (see pic below) everyone thought the pair were in it to win it. While this was a rumor I would have loved to see come to fruition, the model definitely has too much life to live to settle down anytime soon… she’s just 24, after all!

Sarah Confirms She’s Romancing Holland: While this one wasn’t a surprise considering rumors about the two had been out there for a while, it was nice to hear the actress admit to the romance.

In a conversation with the New York Times, Paulson declared:

“If my life choices had to be predicated based on what was expected of me from a community on either side, that’s going to make me feel really straitjacketed, and I don’t want to feel that. What I can say absolutely is that I am in love, and that person happens to be Holland Taylor.”

As for the duo’s age gap, the actress had these words of wisdom to say:

“There’s a poignancy to being with someone older. I think there’s a greater appreciation of time and what you have together and what’s important, and it can make the little things seem very small. It puts a kind of sharp light mixed with a sort of diffused light on something. I can’t say it any other way than there’s a poignancy to it, and a heightened sense of time and the value of time.”

What a gorgeous sentiment.
