16 Couples You Can Still Root For

Now that Courteney and David are no more...

(Newser) – If you found yourself oddly bummed over the news that Courteney Cox and David Arquette (and Christina and Jordan, and Laura and Ben) split up, it’s probably because you actually liked them. So did the people over at New York magazine, who came up with a list of 16 celebrity couples you can still believe in:

  1. Emily Blunt and John Krasinski: Simply adorable, writes Chris Rovzar. “She's got that accent and poise, and he's got that nose and ears!”
  2. Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley: “Being Bon Jovi's High-School Sweetheart Who He Married is enough to make this pair an A-List duo. New Jersey would be devastated if they broke up.”

  1. Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly: “He's practically albino and she was in Labyrinth, so what could possibly go wrong?”
  2. Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt: They were spotted last year “at an SNL taping full-on making out, and they'd already been dating for years. Normal couples aren't even like that.”
  3. Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson: You almost never see them together (note our lack of a photo—New York has one), “which makes us think there's something to this relationship. Like, they might even have conversations.”
For the complete list—including the couple whose breakup would be even “sadder than your own mom and dad divorcing”—click here. There’s even, oddly enough, a Real Housewives couple on the list…

Paul Bettany is a very nice, gracious guy. Jennifer is very lucky to be with him. His movies are wonderful. If she breaks up with him, I hope he won't take it too much to heart and go on with his life. He deserves a lot better.
