The most indomitable of romantic ideals is the idea of one utter perfect specimen who is your ultimate match. Perhaps they will have everything in common with you and share your dreams. Perhaps they will be your Foil because True Love is Exceptional. A third possibility is Mindlink Mates leading the two of them to understand each other better than anyone else. The main difference between a standard Official Couple and a One True Love is in how each partner views the other. While an Official Couple simply needs to be a canon pairing between two characters, a One True Love also requires a canon couple to view each other as their be-all, end-all soulmate with no romantic interest in anyone else once the pair gets together. This is comparable to the difference between daisuki and ai shiteru, both terms meaning "I love you" in Japanese. Daisuki is a casual term that couples typically use whether they are dating or married. It can be heard often between partners in public, and it can also double for loving a thing (e.g. "I love pizza" or "I love watching basketball"). Ai shiteru, on the other hand, is a term reserved only for couples that view themselves as soulmates. Those who say ai shiteru would do anything necessary to stay by their partner's side and view their partner as their One True Love. It's a serious term, and you'd seldom, if ever, hear it in public explicitly for this reason. Often Love at First Sight occurs when someone spots or otherwise realizes that this person is their true love. Because Destiny Says So or The Power of Love are often invoked to explain why that person is the way they are or how you met them. If sex is involved, it may overlap with Sex Equals Love. Sub-Trope of Love Interests. Not to be confused with One True Pairing, which is what the fans want to happen. This only applies to examples where it's made clear and deliberate in the work, regardless of what the editor happens to ship and regardless of how convinced you are. Also not to be mistaken for the Short Story by Isaac Asimov about a computer that falls in love, titled "True Love". |

Every main character in Pretty Little Liars has one. In Emily's case, that person is Paige. In some of the fandom's eyes, it's Alison but by season seven it's made abundantly clear that it's Paige. Even if they didn't end up together and Emily ended up with Alison, the show wanted the audience to know that this was not the happy ending Emily herself wanted and that it was fanservice to the max and it lampshaded it in 7x15 when Emily and Paige have their final goodbye: | |

WitchCraft SMP: By Word of God, Scott and Milo have been referred to as "soulmates". It's Played for Drama considering how downhill Scott's mental health has gone in canon after Milo's death in an attempt to bring him back; a passing comment in the finale and one of the alternate endings only further solidify how deep the grief goes. However, while this series is technically part of the Minecraft Multiverse (as above), this trope only holds in the WCSMP continuity for Scott; his characters on other servers have a wide range of other love interests, depending on the SMP. | |

The Syrena Legacy: Most young Syrena males become attracted to several females and can decide which would be the most suitable mate, but some feel "the pull" towards only one Syrena who is their perfect match in every way. Galen has never had any interest in finding a mate even though he's old enough that he's expected to do so, but he still dismissed the pull as a myth until he met Emma and instantly fell in love with her. | |

X-Men: Scott Summers and Jean Grey are this to one another — while Scott married Madelyne Pryor (Jean's literal clone, not that anyone realised), and had a long-term relationship with Emma Frost, he was always pining after Jean (something both women were acutely aware of). Likewise, while Jean's flirted with Wolverine a few times, she's always defaulted back to Scott. As teen Hank explains to Bloodstorm (a teenage vampire alternate Storm), her crush on Scott is as doomed as his was on Jean, because Scott and Jean always end up back together — even after the two spent ages trying to avoid the matter to try and avoid their perceived Bad Future, it happened. | |

Beauty and the Beast (2017): This remake of the 1991 animated filmnote See above for both that entry and the animated follow-ups. adds to the relationship to Belle and the Beast—Prince Adam—by means of their parallel lives through their childhoods: Belle raised by her loving father Maurice when losing her mother to the Black Plague and Beast losing his mother to illness only for his cold and distant father to run his life as the servants tried to be supportive later on. Beast upon learning Belle's situation is quick to also forgive Maurice for trying to steal one of his roses and Belle is also able to warm to Beast thanks to the very warm treatment the servants give her and their insistence that he has way more good in him that one would think. In fact, Agathe the Enchantress in this version also witnesses Belle's Love Confession during Beast's Disney Death but after the last pedal on the rose falls and that results in her personally reversing the spell anyway. | |

That '70s Show: Eric Forman and Donna Pinciotti. Having known each other since they were young kids living next door to each other, Eric while always having had a crush on Donna didn't end up dating her eventually until they were teens and she finally showed the same interest. Eric and Donna constantly support and trust each other through difficult times—Donna confiding in Eric when her parents have had problems for one thing—even when their relationship has been on and off again and have probably the healthiest relationship among the teens in the show. Donna's constantly forgiven Eric for dumb things he's done that either broke them up or put them on the ropes and the two also do whatever they can for each other—with Eric going to California to find Donna when she runs away and Donna putting off college to stay with Eric—to the point that even when Eric leaves for Africa and then comes back in the series finale, Donna almost immediately takes him back. By the time of the sequel series, Eric and Donna are husband and wife and have a teen daughter named Leia. | |

Jack Ryan films: Dr. John "Jack" Ryan and his wife Cathy, a medical doctor, show a bond that goes beyond Ryan's work as a CIA analyst—to the point that he tells her about his work and what he goes through and has her full confidence and understanding while doing so. In their first appearances, Cathy sees Ryan off to the airport and they have a passionate goodbye and in the next film, after Ryan—having retired from life in the agency to have more time for his family—protects her and their young daughter Sally during an attack on the Royal Family and then stops said attack, Cathy treats his wounds and later encourages him to go back to work as an analyst to make sure their family's protected—all while pregnant with their second child John Jr. Then in the film after that, Cathy helps Ryan through being the only survivor in the caravan attack; listens and is understanding when he explains the situation with the illegal war with the Colombian Cartels; supports him when mentor Admiral James Greer dies of Pancreatic Cancer; helps Ryan identify Félix Cortez as the one playing both sides of the war and Cathy is also there to support Ryan when he testifies about it all to Congress at the end of the movie too. | |

Miraculous Ladybug both plays it straight and inverts it. Marinette, who is the titular heroine Ladybug, has such a massive crush on Adrien Agreste that she has trouble speaking around him. Adrien, who is the superhero Chat Noir, is in love with Ladybug and flirts with her constantly. Neither is aware of the other's identity, however, so they are unknowingly in love with each other. The only times they reciprocate their feelings are when Marinette, while in her identity of Ladybug, meets Adrien. | |

Fingernails: The test claims that they can tell if a couple is truly in love, as long as you each tear off a fingernail to be analyzed. This is taken as seriously as a declaration of soulmateship, with many couples splitting up if they fail, and many less-than-ideal couples staying together just because they pass. The test claims that Ryan and Anna are real love twice, but she's so unhappy with this result that she tears off the rest of her fingernails, not wanting a test to dictate her feelings for Amir. | |

Naruto: Naruto has spent almost his entire life searching for the one person who would love him unconditionally, in spite of everything that has and will transpire in his life, along with all of his flaws, like his parents would have if they lived beyond his birth. However, since he never understood the romantic implications of such a relationship, he's been blind to the fact that the person he's been searching for has been right in front of him all this time: Hinata, the girl who has admired, acknowledged and loved him for the way he is since the day they first met as children. It takes him until the Canon movie The Last: Naruto the Movie to finally realize that Hinata is the precious person he wants to protect and be with. Confirmed by Word of God in this 2015 New York Comic Con interview: Naruto's own parents recognize they are each other's soulmates. His mother Kushina was bullied as a child for being an outsider and for her long flowing red hair in particular, which caused her to resent it. She also initially didn't think much of his father Minato, believing him to be "flaky", similar to how Naruto initially thought of Hinata as "weird". One day, though, Kushina was kidnapped by Kumo ninja for being the Kyuubi Jinchuriki. She made a Trail of Bread Crumbs using strands of her hair, and just when it seemed no one had caught on, Minato appeared and rescued her. He was the only one to catch on to what she was doing and even admitted that the first thing he noticed about her when they first met was her beautiful long red hair. That was the moment that Kushina realized that the hair she hated so much had become her Red String of Fate that led her to her soulmate. |

Green Arrow and Black Canary. While their relationship tends to be turbulent at times, in the end they only really have eyes for each other. There's only ever been one adaptation they both appear in where they aren't an Official Couple, and that's one of the main reasons why that adaptation isn't very popular with comic book fans. DC themselves went out of their way to reinforce this after that adaptation ended, with one comic noting that as long as they're apart, it doesn't matter how happy they are — they will both always feel as if something is 'missing'. | |

Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham in Hannibal. Invoked throughout the series: Hannibal and Will's other relationships are all either doomed to fail because Hannibal or Will are too 'abnormal' compared to their partner, or framed as lacking something essential even when they're otherwise satisfying. Conversely, Hannibal and Will are consistently framed as being the only ones who can truly "see" the other — understanding and accepting each other to a degree of intimacy inaccessible to anyone else — and are irredeemably drawn to each other. Will has a harder time accepting this than Hannibal, but in the series finale, they're revealed to be in love with each other, effectively marking them as a twisted, violent version of this. | |

Wonder Woman: Diana and Steve Trevor have been each other's love interests since the Golden Age of Comics. One of the reasons for Diana’s lack of romance Post-Crisis is because Steve was demoted from being her love interest and paired off with Etta Candy instead. Any and all attempts to pair Diana with other men failed because they simply lacked the chemistry Steve and Diana had, which eventually led to Steve being promoted back to being Diana’s love interest in DC Rebirth. | |

A major plot device in Night World (that is often central to the plot of every novel) is the Soulmate Principle, in which everyone is destined to have a partner who is ideal for them and makes them a better, more complete person. The connection between soulmates is so strong that some of them will be instantly attracted or drawn to each other even if this is the first time they met and making physical contact sends an electricity-like jolt between them. It's also implied that some soulmates can even reincarnate together. Every book features the main protagonist finding her soulmate, which will almost always be complicated by the fact one of them is human and the other is a Night Person, which is forbidden under Night World law. Given that a lot of Redferns and Harmans (or their relatives) start finding human soulmates, the witches speculate that this could be a sign that times are changing for both the Night World and the human world. | |

Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman are this. Reed has shown no interest in basically any woman aside from Sue apart from flashbacks from before they met, while Sue has had the choice between Reed and other guys and always goes with Reed. The two of them have also been together in the comics since 1965 with their wedding issue and have never actually broken up since which is something of an anomaly for comics. Even when their marriage is strained, they still find their way back to each other. | |

Beauty and the Beast: The titular characters here, the follow-up films and the 2017 live action remakenote See below for that entry.: Belle and the Beast—Prince Adam—at first of course couldn't be more different, but find that incredibly common ground throughout the film given he's a man turned animal for how spoiled and rotten he was and she's a lovely woman who constantly is looked down on for actually having an intelligent mind. Belle agrees to stay with Beast in the castle in exchange for her father Maurice—his prisoner—being set free—and a surprisingly moved Beast accepts the offer while then saving Belle from wolves later while she then helps Beast after he's wounded too. Belle helps teach Beast how to be a man again and he soon enough falls in love with her; Beast tells Belle she's free to go and save Maurice from the cold; Belle goes back to save Beast from Gaston—with him inspired to fight back and then grant Gaston mercy upon seeing her—and Belle confesses her love to Beast just in time to break the spell and turn him back to human, resulting immediately in Happily Ever After. The Enchanted Christmas & Belle's Magical World: The two animated follow-ups expand upon their relationship further as Belle and Beast overcome different issues like disagreements about whether or not to bring back Christmas or who should apologize first. While it's reasonable how much the two movies downplayed the stronger aspects and simplified things too much, the outcome of the story isn't changed though. Despite the two taking hits character-wise, it doesn't in any way ruin the perfection of their love story in the first film. |

Harry Potter: Per Word of God in this 2007 interview, Harry and Ginny are soulmates. Tellingly, Harry's last thoughts right before Voldemort kills him (Harry actually survived, but he didn't know he would) are of her, all but stating that she was the greatest comfort in his life. Notably, Harry tried to deny his feelings for her at first (mainly because she was Ron's sister) and only after seeing her make out with her boyfriend did he finally accept the truth. Ginny herself admits after they got together that she never fully got over her crush on him at the beginning of the series. They only broke up because of, as Ginny puts it, "some stupid, noble reason", with the unsaid understanding that if they both made it through the war, they would get back together. The epilogue reveals they eventually got Happily Married with three children. Also, in all the alternate timelines shown in The Cursed Child, Harry and Ginny still become an Official Couple. | |

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You: Despite the premise, Hahari deconstructs this by bringing up the corollary that only your one true love will do. She was madly in love with Hakari's terminally ill father and her decision to have Hakari was so that a piece of him may live on. It was an incredibly dangerous decision that she openly admits was reckless and left her a single mother. Furthermore, she goes into detail about how losing him caused a void in her life that not even her daughter's love could fill. It was only when she fell in love with Rentarou, which proved that she could love again and disproved the notion that only that one specific person will do, was the void filled. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Marie and Allelujah are destined to be soulmates and connected (thanks to their quantum brainwaves) since their childhood. However, when he and the other kids try to escape from the institute, Allelujah decides to leave her in the institute because she still needs medical treatment. When the researchers implanted the Soma Peries persona to make Marie into a perfect super soldier, Soma has no memory of Marie's persona and doesn't know who she is, making her unable to remember Allelujah too. After he learns her identity and the truth about her, Allelujah decides to save her from the A-Laws and the Federation, so she will never be used by the military as a "living weapon". After Marie's persona returned, Marie remains on Allelujah's side and is very supportive of him. Even when/if Soma and Hallelujah's personas dislike each other, Marie and Allelujah will always be together and will never be separated. | |

In The Dilbert Future, Scott Adams Deconstructs the trope, pointing out that the One True Love is always within driving distance, and of the preferred gender, age, and species. And if the relationship doesn't work, the person usually will find their "True" One True Love under the same circumstances. | |

When Donna comes back in time like him, she admits she feels the same way about him, and the two lose no time in restarting their relationship. | |

The 100 has Clarke Griffin and Lexa who, despite their rocky start and the rough patch they hit after Lexa chooses to rescue her people from Mount Weather over Clarke's own, are shown to develop a strong bond for each other that eventually becomes a romance. Lexa's early death shocks Clarke and she never fully recovers and she never gets together with anyone else in the series. To cement her status as this in the series final episode the Judge who decides whether humanity will transcend to a higher form of consciousness or be destroyed takes on Lexa's form for Clarke with both the show and its creator confirming that this is because Lexa was Clarke's greatest love. | |

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: Shang-Chi's parents, Xu Wenwu and Ying Li. One thousand years of conquest, and yet after meeting Li and falling in love with her, Wenwu gave up all his power and longevity to start a family and grow old with her. Her untimely death destroyed him, causing him to return to the Ten Rings and his old life of criminality and conquest, and eventually made him susceptible to the manipulations of the Dweller-in-Darkness, by impersonating her and convincing him that she was the one being kept prisoner behind a gate in her home village of Ta Lo instead of it. | |

Supernatural: Sam had had other love interests since Jess' death, but none have continued to be mentioned for so long and none of them seemed to have close to the same level of impact on Sam. Azazel and Brady both mentioned that had she not died, she and Sam would have gotten married and lived happily ever after. In Season 5, Sam and Dean visit Heaven where a friend confirms that they're soulmates and share a Heaven, leading to a full five-second silence where they don't look at each other. As it turns out, Dean was this for Castiel since the first moment they saw each other in Hell. Unfortunately, this doesn't save either of them. |

Jimmy later narrates that "if two people are meant to be together, they will stay together no matter what tries to get in their way"—while deleting a text message on Sabrina's phone from her boyfriend, asking her to go to a restaurant, so he could take her out to eat instead. | |

Inuyasha: A bit of a complicated example because Inuyasha's One True Love is Kikyou's soul. Inuyasha and Kikyou were deeply in love and were very close to living out their ideal married life, but this ended tragically when Naraku tricked the two into hating each other. Naraku fatally wounded Kikyou while disguised as Inuyasha, and expected Kikyou to take Inuyasha's life while using the jewel to heal herself. She could not bring herself to do either out of love for Inuyasha and instead used her remaining strength to shoot a single sealing arrow to pin him to the Goshinboku tree; this meant, Kikyou was full of both bitter hatred and very strong love towards Inuyasha at the time of her death, so the Shikon Jewel became corrupted in response to her hatred while the love granted her a wish to see Inuyasha again. Naraku planned to use the tainted Jewel but Kikyou realized this and with her last words, ordered Kaede to burn it with her body, which she and the locals did. Inuyasha and Kikyo's love transcended time and space as the desire to see Inuyasha again was the wish that the Shikon Jewel used to reincarnate Kikyou as Kagome Higurashi, and therefore reconstitute itself despite Kikyo's conscious decision to destroy the jewel with herself. With time Kagome becomes Kikyou's successor, and although Kikyou was the woman Inuyasha "loved most in all the world", Inuyasha comes to realise that he is destined to be with Kagome (though they are different people, they are also one and the same), and Kagome also comes to understand it and let go of her own insecurities about Kikyo and herself. Inuyasha and Kikyou (as Kagome) finally get to live out their happily married lives together in the end, like they had first planned those many years ago. And before that, the revived Kikyou passed away peacefully in Inuyasha's embrace, finally free of everything. Rumiko Takahashi stated that she chose Kikyou's name basing on the language of flowers, as the Chinese Bellflower's meaning is "unchanging love". | |

"Lifemates" in the Liaden Universe are rare but when they do happen, that 'verse's science of psionics can objectively verify it. (It is eventually revealed that this is due to genetic spiritual meddling by Sufficiently Advanced Aliens in the past, and there's a damn good reason why it always seems to happen to the "dramliz" and not anyone else.) | |

The Middle: Axl Heck and Lexie Brooks. Having met due to the former being Sue's older brother and the latter being her college roommate, Axl very nonchalantly is fully himself around Lexie and while they start out having an adversarial but very respectful friendship, Axl clearly started out highly interested in Lexie from the beginning and still acted like Lexie was interested in him even when he had a girlfriend already in the form of April. Lexie eventually sees that genuinely caring and sensitive side to Axl and she begins to realize her own feelings for him, wanting to get his attention and when Axl discovers this, he nearly rushes to see her—even while he still has said girlfriend. Eventually it's not long after Axl ends things with April that he reciprocates Lexie's feelings by kissing her, the two spending a lot of time together, her constantly being cheerful and proud of their union, supporting each other through difficult times and eventually making it through the ups and downs in end. Proves how ultimately strong that bond of love is when in the future, they're Happily Married with three-four kids. | |

The Dark Knight Trilogy: Played with and arguably deconstructed. Bruce Wayne has only ever loved his Childhood Friend Rachel Dawes and has every intention of being together with her when he's finished with his mission as Batman. While Rachel does love Bruce and originally intended to wait for him, she begins to change her mind when she meets Harvey Dent and starts a relationship with him. Ultimately, she chooses Harvey and wrote a letter to Bruce explaining her intentions to marry him and that they're Better as Friends — which Alfred then burns to spare Bruce any more pain after her death. Unfortunately, that leaves Bruce to continue mourning Rachel for the next eight years because he was so convinced that she was his soulmate. It's only after being told the truth that Bruce finally becomes open to the idea of love again, first with Miranda Tate (aka Talia al Ghul), then much more successfully with Selina Kyle (who, in the comics, is his real One True Love). | |

Captain America: The First Avenger: It's implied that Steve believes in this to a certain extent, which is why he has such a hard time with women — he's not looking for a fling to have some fun with, he's looking for someone with whom to spend the rest of his life. He thought he found that with Peggy Carter, but as we all know, fate denied them a chance at a happy life together. While he's thrown himself back into the fight so he doesn't dwell on what he's lost, The Winter Soldier and Civil War suggest he might have a second chance at happiness with Sharon Carter. In Avengers: Endgame, however, Sharon is one of those taken by the Snap, and Steve is ultimately unable to move on from Peggy. When it's all said and done, he goes back to the 1940s and lives out the rest of his life with her in an Alternate Timeline; the final scene shows them finally having their dance and kissing. | |

Iron Man: Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Pepper could have left him behind years ago and become successful on her own but stayed behind as his Beleaguered Assistant because she was in love with him. And out of all the women Tony has slept with over the years, out of all the people that he's let into his life, however tangentially, the only person he could count on to be there when it really mattered was her. Tony and Pepper also play with this a little, in that despite knowing that the only people they really wanted were each other, it took them years to start a relationship — not because there were other people, but because Pepper refused to even entertain the idea until Tony became a better man, the kind of man she always thought he could be. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: Shang-Chi's parents, Xu Wenwu and Ying Li. One thousand years of conquest, and yet after meeting Li and falling in love with her, Wenwu gave up all his power and longevity to start a family and grow old with her. Her untimely death destroyed him, causing him to return to the Ten Rings and his old life of criminality and conquest, and eventually made him susceptible to the manipulations of the Dweller-in-Darkness, by impersonating her and convincing him that she was the one being kept prisoner behind a gate in her home village of Ta Lo instead of it. Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne, the original Ant-Man and Wasp. The two were Happily Married and had their daughter Hope, but one mission in the 1980's led Janet to pull a Heroic Sacrifice that trapped her in the Quantum Realm. Even after 30 years, Hank never stopped loving her and never even tried to find love again. The events of Ant-Man and the Wasp take place because Hank and Hope find a way to rescue her from the Quantum Realm and it is Hank himself who goes to rescue her. Cue one of the most heartwarming reunions in the franchise. Wanda Maximoff and Vision. From the day of his creation, they’ve only had eyes for each other, and another character even refers to them as soulmates (if somewhat condescendingly). He's her Living Emotional Crutch, and they even got a tv show named after themselves where they're living in apparent domestic sitcom bliss. Their love is so strong that Wanda is able to create a perfect replica of Vision from her own memories, and even after somewhat accepting her loss in the finale, it’s clear that she has no desire to ever move on. This is further touched on in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where Wanda acknowledges that Vision was the love of her life and his death left her a broken woman. |

Odd Thomas and Stormy Llewellyn were destined to be together forever. It says so on the little card a carnival fortuneteller machine gave them. Taken to the extreme when Stormy dies at the end of the first book. Odd seems perfectly willing to go the rest of his life without finding anyone else. When it seems he might find someone to replace her, he can't help but feel conflicted. | |

Warrior Nun: Ava and Beatrice are this to each other. While their time together is short, it's clear from the scenes they share and their subtle interactions that they value and care for each other greatly, quickly becoming the most important part of each other's lives. Ava turns to Beatrice as she's the only person who aids her during her difficult time in the Cat's Cradle, bonding with the Sister Warrior over a short period of time and even reassuring her that "she's beautiful" after Beatrice tearfully vents about her Dark and Troubled Past. Meanwhile, Beatrice becomes attached to Ava as she sees a version of herself in her, not tied down by the church or duty. They grow so close after the Time Skip to Season 2 that they both, at different points, try to get the other to abandon the fight and leave to just live their lives. | |

The Beatles episode "I Want To Hold Your Hand" has a scientist aboard a cruise ship, having captured an octopus whose unhappiness stems from being lovesick. The scientist lowers a diving bell into the ocean to gather some input on finding the octopus's true love. The Beatles have hidden inside the diving bell from their wild female fans, and under the sea they discover a similarly lovesick female octopus. Once back on ship, the boys buy the male octopus and throw him back into the ocean to be with the female octopus to live happily ever after. | |

Damon and Elena from The Vampire Diaries fit this trope. While the series initially centers on a love triangle between Damon, Elena, and Stefan, she eventually chooses Damon while her relationship with Stefan is explained as being magically manipulated. According to Word of God, Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec planned to continue the love triangle to see if Elena could find her way back to Stefan and to end the series with both brothers dying for her. But the departure of Elena's actress Nina Dobrev solidified Damon and Elena's status as the main pairing. Damon and Elena are also the end game pairing of the novel series the show is based on where they are confirmed as soul mates. | |

Deconstructed in a What If? entry. While Munroe doesn't attack the idea of someone who is perfect for you, he does address the corollary — that you'll be miserable with anyone else — and points out how that condemns the vast majority of humans to a loveless existence. | |

Batman, despite his numerous relationships in both personas, has only ever loved two women: Catwoman and Talia al Ghul. Of those two women, the one that can be described as the love of his life is Catwoman. But because True Love Is Boring, they have never managed to settle down in a lasting relationship with each other long enough to cement them as this in the eyes of the general public, though this has been explored in What If? scenarios. In adaptations where Bruce does manage to settle down, it's usually with Selina. | |

Hannibal Lecter film series: Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling share an unexpectedly deep and respectful bond despite him being a psychiatrist who's also a cannibalistic Serial Killer and despite her being an FBI agent as well. Lecter thinks highly of Starling's intelligence and mindfulness as she begins as a trainee seeking his help on capturing the serial killer "Buffalo Bill"—not getting any kind of high expectation or praise from many others working around her—and Starling in turn still treats Lecter like a person despite his crimes and the nature of them. Both come from tragic backgrounds as well as Starling lost her widowed father at a young age while Lecter at a young age lost most of his family in World War II and witnessed the horrid murder of his younger sister Mischa as well. Lecter also helps Starling when they both are targeted by Mason Verger by saving her life shortly after she saved his and when she cuffs herself to him to prevent him from escaping, Lecter chooses to cut his own hand off rather than hurt her—especially when he previously had no qualms about targeting former friend Will Graham who first captured him—and Starling is profoundly effected by the decision he made. | |

The Flash (2014) Barry Allen and Iris West. They're even married on an alternate earth and in the first timeline of the series. While both are capable of feeling genuine attraction to others and can even fall in love with other people (Eddie Thawne for Iris, Patty Spivot for Barry), it always comes back to them in the end. Barry fully admits that Iris is the love of his life, and she admits she feels the same way, too. Caitlin Snow and Ronnie Raymond, who were also together/married on an alternate earth (the same alternate earth as Barry and Iris' doppelgangers, in fact). While Caitlin was able to move on from Ronnie's death and find love again with other people, neither of those relationships went anywhere (one of them because the guy turned out to be evil). And even then, it's outright stated that Ronnie will always be first in her heart regardless of who she ends up with in the end. |

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners: As the series progresses, it becomes clear that David and Lucy are soulmates who have searched for meaning in their lives—and found it in each other. While David is initially upset with Lucy for her Manic Pixie Dream Girl act, he never resents her and joins Maine's crew partially to get close to her. It soon becomes clear how far both are willing to protect one another, and David's willingness to help others wins over Lucy's heart. Once they become an Official Couple, Lucy trusts David to the point of revealing her traumatic childhood at Arasaka as well as her deep-dive neural port, and both come to value the other's life over their own. While their relationship does become strained from David's slippage to cyberpsychosis and Lucy's unwillingness to share the truth of Arasaka's plans for David, both David and Lucy remain committed to one another when push comes to shove. Their love is so strong, Lucy's True Love's Kiss helps David recover from his cyberpsychosis... which sadly ends with David sacrificing himself to help Lucy escape Arasaka Tower. | |

Lucifer Morningstar and Chloe Decker. Not only is Chloe the first and only woman Lucifer has ever truly loved, but Chloe was literally made for him by his Father, who had Amenadiel bless Chloe's mother so she could be conceived. This is deconstructed, because Lucifer fears his feelings for her might not even be real but instead another tool for his Father to manipulate him and takes some time to accept this isn't the case. Later in Season Five, after Chloe finally finds out, she begins fearing that she has no choice in the matter, and like Lucifer, that her feelings aren't even real. It takes her time to accept that while she may have been made for Lucifer, it's up to her whether or not they get together. | |

Iron Man: Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Pepper could have left him behind years ago and become successful on her own but stayed behind as his Beleaguered Assistant because she was in love with him. And out of all the women Tony has slept with over the years, out of all the people that he's let into his life, however tangentially, the only person he could count on to be there when it really mattered was her. Tony and Pepper also play with this a little, in that despite knowing that the only people they really wanted were each other, it took them years to start a relationship — not because there were other people, but because Pepper refused to even entertain the idea until Tony became a better man, the kind of man she always thought he could be. | |

Indiana Jones: Throughout the films, Indiana has a few flames and even admitted to having others, but the one woman whom he has cared for the most is Marion Ravenwood. Their relationship, however, was never easy, as the two do spend much of their time bickering. Indy and Marion had a fling ten years prior to Raiders, where Marion tells him that she loved him only for him to leave her since their tryst destroyed his friendship with her father. Marion is initially angry at seeing Indy again & forcefully tags along, but throughout their adventure their relationship rekindles, and the film ends where she invites him to get a drink. However, Indy's commitment to his archeology work & constant adventuring ended their relationship again, but Marion hides the fact that she was pregnant with their son, Mutt. The two reunite a second time in Crystal Skull where they realize that they still care deeply for each other and the film ends with them finally marrying, with Indy happy to be with the woman he loves and happy to have a son. Unfortunately, by Dial of Destiny, Mutt has died while serving in the Vietnam War, which made their marriage fall apart and for Marion to file for divorce, which made Indy miserable. In spite of everything, it's apparent that Indy still loves Marion and continues to wear his wedding ring throughout his adventure with Helena. When he finally returns to his apartment in New York at the end of the film, Helena invites Marion over to bring groceries. Indy is surprised to see her and neither know what to say, but the two realize that they still love each other, and are back together again. | |

The Rocketeer: Cliff Secord and Jenny Blake. She's immensely supportive of his job as a pilot and he's supportive of her working toward becoming an actress too and when we initally meet each of them, they have a picture of the other that they clearly cherish—with Cliff actually making it a point to save his picture of Jenny from his burning, crashed plane. He doesn't tell Jenny about it because he didn't want her to worry about him and she's upset because Cliff didn't trust her about it. He tries to tell Jenny about the rocket after he's found it because he wants to show he can trust her and she eventually believes him about the danger before Big Bad Neville Sinclair abducts her. Cliff is willing to at first fight the Nazis to rescue her, willingly gives the rocket to Sinclair in exchange for her safety and Jenny helps Cliff to fight Sinclair and the others while also stealing plans for the rocket which she then provides later so it can be rebuilt. When Howard Hughes asks him about how flying the rocket felt, Cliff comes quickly to the realization that it's probably second compared to the love he has for Jenny. | |

Unfortunately, because True Love Is Boring, their relationship is constantly on-and-off, either due to outside forces (such as Fitz's political career, as he's unhappily married to First Lady Mellie Grant — Olivia is/was his mistress, even though he sees her as more than that) or their own personal reasons (Olivia broke up with Fitz in Season Five even though his divorce meant they could finally be together openly because she, like Mellie, hated the idea of being stuck in a Gilded Cage and playing the part of First Lady, being far more capable than just a glorified hostess and housewife). | |

Glee: Rachel and Finn are described as this by several people and its strongly implied the two would have ended up married at some point in the future if not for Finn's tragic and sudden passing. Santana and Brittany refer to each other as this over the course of the show and similarly to the aforementioned couple, have been called such by several of their friends in the choir room. Kurt and Blaine considers themselves soulmates that will inevitably end up together no matter what. Sure enough they end the series by getting married in a big double wedding alongside Santana and Brittany in a barn in Indiana. |

NCIS: Main protagonist Leroy Jethro Gibbs' true love was his first wife, Shannon, who was killed alongside their daughter Kelly. At one point, Ducky, one of Gibbs' oldest, closest friends, called her the love of Gibbs' life. Gibbs has never been able to let go of their deaths, and it has doomed every single romantic relationship he's had since, including his three marriages after Shannon. Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David are strongly implied to be this. Both had numerous relationships with other people throughout both their tenures in NCIS, but when it came down to it, the ones they loved most were each other. Ziva's childhood friend and her brother Ari's lover even used this in the Season 11 premiere to hurt Ziva by lying to Tony about whether or not she'd seen her while Tony was hunting for her in Israel; she wanted to pay Ziva back for taking away the man she loved by separating them. Even after Ziva left NCIS and stayed in Israel permanently, Tony never stopped thinking about her. Eventually, he departs from NCIS himself after Ziva supposedly dies in the Season 13 finale to take care of their daughter, Tali. Ziva herself returns from hiding in Season 17, and after finishing her own unfinished business, leaves the espionage world for good to be with Tony and Tali. |

Kate Kane and Renee Montoya have each had multiple love interests, but the two of them together is, according to both comic canon and Word of God, the pairing that is meant to be at the end of the day. This is perhaps made most explicit in the Rebirth Batwoman series, but they also end up together in Convergence and 52. And in Injustice: Gods Among Us, though an alternate universe, they're even married. | |

Superman: Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Everyone and their dog knows that these two are made for each other. Evidence: every form of media they've ever appeared in. There's not a single adaptation where they don't end up together — and if Clark ends up with anyone else, it's after Lois' death. (One exception: In the New 52 they were just work collegues, and Clark eventually started dating Wonder Woman. And then Rebirth rendered that whole thing Canon Discontinuity and retconned back in that he'd been married to Lois the entire time.) | |

Kim Possible: Word of God confirms that Kim and Ron are this. Both have dated other people and have had brief relationships but as the show goes on, it becomes very clear to everyone except them — both in and out of universe — that the people they're meant to be with are each other. So the Drama implies that deep down, even they knew it, but refrained from taking the next step for their own reasons (for Ron, it was their long-standing friendship; for Kim, it was peer pressure and the level of Ron's maturity). It's only after Drakken interferes and tries to push them apart that they finally muster up the courage and act on what's between them. | |

Shrek: Shrek and Princess Fiona. The spell cast on Fiona to eventually break her curse is supposed to allow her to meet her true love (who is supposed to rescue her from the dragon guarding her while she's in the highest room in the tallest tower), with True Love's Kiss sealing the deal. The problem is that no one really expected Fiona's true love to be an ogre (least of all Fiona herself), so it takes time for them to really acknowledge they're this. It's also something of a deconstruction, in that while Shrek and Fiona are soulmates, they aren't actually in love with each other when they first meet, instead falling in love while they're traveling to Duloc in order to deliver Fiona to Lord Farquaad to be his bride. As all but stated by Shrek Forever After, even if Shrek had kissed Fiona when they first met, it wouldn't have broken the curse because they weren't actually in love yet. | |

Nightwing has two: Barbara Gordon and Starfire (Koriand'r). While most media tend to lean towards Barbara, Kori's romance with him has gotten extensive focus as well (usually in Teen Titans media), and he's technically gotten married to both (as seen in Convergence). His pre-Flashpoint version married Barbara, and his pre-Crisis version married Kori. Essentially, if Dick Grayson is ever going to settle down, it's going to be with one of them. But because True Love Is Boring, he's never going to seal the deal with either of them. | |

DC Extended Universe: Lois Lane for Clark Kent/Superman. Before his Heroic Sacrifice against Doomsday in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Clark has these words for Lois: Steve Trevor for Diana/Wonder Woman. Their story was brief, cut short by Steve's heroic death in the climax of Wonder Woman, but that was enough for her to remember him for a century and counting, as seen when she was looking for the photo they took during World War I in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. She went to Steve's family ranch and kept heirlooms of him as seen in Wonder Woman 1984, and even admits to the temporarily-revived Steve that the main reason she can't move on from him is because the only lover she has ever wanted is him. |

His feelings for them were so strong, they carried over through his reincarnation and memory loss: it only takes him a few minutes after remembering to reaffirm the vow and fuse their souls together for eternity. On Yubel's end, they loved him so much they voluntarily underwent a Painful Transformation into a monster just so they could protect him, and apparently waited thousands of years for him to be reincarnated. Yubel's love was so strong it drove them to insanity, damned and redeemed them in succession. | |

Subverted, like so many tropes, in A Song of Ice and Fire: Cersei Lannister has spent their entire lives convincing her twin Jaime that she and he are this for each other. It is instead made very clear that Cersei's only interest in Jaime is in his role as a male version of her; once he loses his right hand and begins to rediscover his own honor, instead of simply being a reflection of her who will do her bidding, she has no more use for him. | |

In The Good Place, everyone has a soulmate that they are introduced to upon their arrival in the afterlife. Eleanor is Chidi's, and Jianyu is Tahani's. Except Eleanor is only in the Good Place due to a mix-up, and it all goes haywire from there. This is ultimately subverted when the season one finale reveals that they are all actually in the Bad Place in an elaborate form of psychological torture. Michael even confirms later that soulmates aren't real, but rather he made them up to torture the four humans. A season four flashback shows Michael confessing to Chidi that he doesn't know if soulmates are real, but if they are, they're made, not found. |

It played literally for Nozomu in Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei where he only has love for Kafuka and no one else. Despite marrying all the girls in his class, he insists to everyone that he has only one wife whom is Kafuka. It makes sense in context when Kafuka is revealed to be a ghost, indirectly living through her organs and blood donated to the girls in Nozomu's class, and only able to possess one of the hosts at a time on a daily basis. Nozomu is willing to go through a daily repeating cycle of divorce & marriage among his wives to stick to his beliefs on only loving Kafuka despite having babies with all of his wives | |

Futurama Turanga Leela is this for the main character, Philip J. Fry. This doesn't stop him from dating other women though. Leela mostly rejects him in early seasons, but eventually admits to her love for him. They have a rather unstable relationship for a season after the show was revived, but eventually settle into a more stable relationship starting with the following season. | |

Lucifer (2016): Lucifer Morningstar and Chloe Decker. Not only is Chloe the first and only woman Lucifer has ever truly loved, but Chloe was literally made for him by his Father, who had Amenadiel bless Chloe's mother so she could be conceived. This is deconstructed, because Lucifer fears his feelings for her might not even be real but instead another tool for his Father to manipulate him and takes some time to accept this isn't the case. Later in Season Five, after Chloe finally finds out, she begins fearing that she has no choice in the matter, and like Lucifer, that her feelings aren't even real. It takes her time to accept that while she may have been made for Lucifer, it's up to her whether or not they get together. Dan Espinoza and Charlotte Richards. In an Alternate Universe where Dan never met Chloe, he still manages to find his way to Charlotte, and it is shown that their romantic relationship is stronger than Dan and Chloe's ever was. And after Charlotte dies, he doesn't so much as give any other woman a second look for the rest of the series (sans a depression-fueled one night stand with Ella that he immediately regretted). Eventually, after Dan himself dies and makes peace with his guilt, he ascends to Heaven and reunites with Charlotte there. |

The Witcher features a side story starring a Hooker with a Heart of Gold named Carmen and her paramour — a guard captain-turned-vigilante werewolf. Carmen risks life and limb to find a cure for her beloved's lycanthropy, and with Geralt's help, she tries out everything until only one option remains: the proverbial "true love". Geralt is understandably skeptical and awkward when he suggests it, but to everyone's surprise, it actually works, somehow, with Carmen's lover cured of lycanthropy. Even a hardened cynic like Geralt is taken aback by this success and calls the whole story nothing less than a fairy tale. | |

Spider-Man: Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson, a fact that writers and editors have struggled with, given that she's both good for Peter and popular with the audience, which led to their marriage in the regular continuity after vocal public demand. The issue? See: The True Love Is Boring caveat, one of the things that led to the much-reviled One More Day storyline that retconned their marriage out of existence. The fact that Aunt May wanted to set her up with Peter, and that she and Peter have a great deal in common (being both poor kids from Queens who wanted to make it big), and that she spent the longest time married to Peter in the regular continuity and appears in most adaptations, made her for most of Spider-Man's history. The only love interest Peter Parker ever came to loving as much as he did Mary Jane was his First Love, Gwen Stacy (whose death, incidentally, was what pushed Peter and Mary Jane together in their grief). | |

Transformers Animated: Cybertronian Genesis: Optimus Prime views Elita-1/Blackarachnia as his, which is why he doesn't even entertain the idea of a relationship with anyone else, even though, as the Hero of Cybertron, he could have anyone he wanted. In another life, had Blackarachnia remained Elita-1, it would've been mutual — it's outright stated that Optimus was the only 'bot she ever felt anything for, even during her relationship with Sentinel. But in this life, she refuses to acknowledge his feelings, even though some part of her still feels the same way. | |

Fairy Tail: Zeref Dragneel and Mavis Vermilion — they are undoubtedly the love of each other's lives, but constant misfortune has kept them apart. As the only two existing bearers of the Curse of Contraditions, they are the only two people that could ever hope to fully understand and empathize with each other. This fact caused them to fall in love with each other, but as the curse's purpose is to deny its bearer happiness, Mavis "died", separating them for over a century before Mavis was revived. Denied a chance to be with the love of his life and the only person to have ever made him truly happy, Zeref fell into greater despair than ever before until he finally snapped and dedicated himself to being as evil as the world declared him to be. Mavis, now an Astral Projection only visible to members of Fairy Tail, stayed close to Zeref and was forced to watch as the man she loved begin his true Start of Darkness, all the while being unable to comfort him and stop him in his tracks. In the present storyline, despite everything that has happened, they are still deeply in love with each other — Mavis all but begs Zeref not to destroy the world because it was the world where they met, while Zeref's only regret about his plan is that in the new world he wishes to create, he and Mavis will never meet. The sheer tragedy of their relationship is only highlighted when fans are shown in an omake that in least one other world, they managed to find happiness together. Eventually, thanks to the power of the One Magic, they are finally able to be together in the afterlife. | |

Danny Phantom: Jack and Maddie Fenton, the titular protagonist's parents. In an alternate timeline where Maddie married his best friend Vlad Masters, who also had feelings for her (and still does in the main timeline), it is shown that she is absolutely miserable with Vlad and still loves Jack, who took Vlad's place as the first halfa and stayed away from Maddie out of shame as a result. Hell, when Vlad designed a computer program based entirely off her, designed specifically to love him and disparage Jack, the program reveals in its dying moments that it never loved him and instead loved Jack (or "The Jack Program", in this case). It doesn't matter when, where, or what they are; Jack and Maddie are simply meant to be. | |

Even after remarrying, it's clear that he doesn't have the same feelings for Alicent nor cares about his children with her as much as he does with his only surviving child by Aemma, Rhaenyra. Since Aemma is dead, we don’t know if she feels the same way about him after he had C-section done on her without anesthesia for the slim chance of having a male heir. | |

David Willis has said that Dumbing of Age is a deliberate aversion — the core couple of the Walkyverse might have been Joyce and Walky, and they were very happy together, but that doesn't mean they have to be. Dumbingverse Joyce outright dislikes Walky, and barely notices Danny, her counterpart's other main love interest, and instead has dated Ethan, Jacob (neither of whom she even met in the previous universe) and most recently Joe, which would be utterly absurd in the Walkyverse, but makes a surprising amount of sense here. | |

The Hunger Games: While the series for the most part averts this trope, it is surprisingly brought up at the very end. Upon declaring her love for previously fake-boyfriend Peeta Mellark, Katniss Everdeen states that the two of them ending up together "would have happened anyway", implying that she believes they would have fallen in love even if they hadn't been in the Hunger Games together. Finnick Odair and Annie Cresta both from District 4 were each Victors in the Hunger Games in different years and ended up falling in love. When Finnick is chosen as the male tribute for the Quarter Quell—the 75th Hunger Games, Annie is chosen as the female one too—though Mags Flanagan volunteers in her place and Finnick is nothing but incredibly grateful to her for it. One of the traps sent for the tributes is Jabberjays that have the engineered but pained cries of loved ones and when Finnick hears what he thinks are Annie's cries for help, he instantly goes into panic mode trying to desperately save her—and is nothing but relieved when she's rescued from the Capitol later on. Before Finnick goes to fight in the war—where he unfortunately gets killed in battle, he and Annie end up getting married; she ends up pregnant with their son; Annie votes against the idea of a Hunger Games with the Capitol's children knowing full well that Finnick would've rejected the idea too and Annie later writes to Katniss and Peeta about how wonderful it is to get to raise her and Finnick's son in a Panem that is now far more peaceful thanks in part to his father too. |

Despite both having other relationships over the course of the series, they've always found their way back to each other because they are soulmates and meant to be, to the point they are described this way by Word of God itself and by basically every other character at one point. And by everyone, that includes their significant exes. Also Nathan and Haley. They are each other’s First Love and ended up getting married and even having a child while still in high school, but they managed to stay together through life ups and downs and form a pretty solid and loving family. Neither of them has ever imagined to be with someone else. To the point their ‘catchphrase’ is “Always and forever�. |

DARLING in the FRANXX: The main symbol of the series is the Jian, a one-winged bird from Chinese mythology. In Chinese myths, a pair of Jian birds represents marriage since the two are inseparable and co-dependent on one another. Much like a Jian pair, Hiro and Zero Two are inseparable and serve as each other's wings. Back when they were children, Hiro tried to help Zero Two escape the APE facility where she was being tested on and tortured. Looking past Zero Two's inhuman appearance, Hiro became the only boy who admired and loved her for who she was Warts and All, and even promised to marry her while they were on the run. Their short time together as children made an impact on Zero Two and, as Episode 12 reveals, she spent much of her life looking to reunite with her original "darling", the boy she loved and missed. When she finds out Hiro was her "darling" all along in Episode 13, she becomes distraught over her actions up to that point before the two make up in Episode 15. Since then, the two have shown unconditional love for one another and know that their bond will help them overcome whatever obstacle fate throws at them. | |

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi: Mo Xiang Tong Xiu revealed she tried writing many different love interests for Wei Wuxian but nobody clicked until she ultimately concluded that Lan Wangji, the very first love interest she wrote, was perfect for him. The story went out of its way to reinforce this stance: from their Opposites Attract dynamic to Wei Wuxian pulling Lan Wangji's forehead ribbon (that only family members or spouse can touch), to creating a Love Theme named after their courtesy names. It's also clear that both are attracted to each other at first sight, have never been romantically interested in anyone else and even being dead for 13 years and being transmigrated in a different body will not stop Lan Wangji from loving Wei Wuxian. | |

Apollo and Midnighter of The Authority and Stormwatch. The peculiarities of their comics-verse means that we've seen a great many alternate universe versions of them (Palette Swap versions, kid heroes, samurais, a golly-gee parody of Blue Beetle and Booster Gold...), and all of them are joined at the hip. They take it for granted to the point where Midnighter is disturbed and upset to meet an alternate universe version of them that broke up. | |

Children of Time: Sherlock Holmes and Beth Lestrade. Interestingly, despite the series involving more couples, it's only to the Holmeses that the trope applies. The Doctor is explicitly stated to have had other loves before Rose (including his wife, the mother of his children), and Watson had Mary before Sally. It is heartbreakingly easy, however, to see that Sherlock and Beth are the only lovers each other will ever have. | |

Discussed and explored in Goblins, as Kin — a yuan-ti — explains to Minmax that her species doesn't form emotional attachments, though there are rare cases of "True-Seeing", in which they're literal soul-mates and can experience each other's pleasure and pain, but applies solely to yuan-ti. She has to explain this because Minmax is falling in love with her, and Psion!Minmax believes it to be true - it later turns out that they're the sole exception to that rule. | |

The Addams Family: In almost every version, Gomez and Morticia Addams are always presented to be madly in love with each other, with this being especially apparent in the 1964 series, the Barry Sonnenfeld-directed films and the Wednesday-centric series too. The two never think of cheating on each other and constantly refer to each other as the love of their life. Even the slightest word from Morticia is enough to have Gomez all over her, and Gomez even once says he would not only kill for Morticia but die for her as well. The two are also up for anything the other wants, and even after having two kids are constantly affectionate with each other. For example, in the first of the Sonnenfeld films, just hearing that Morticia is in danger is enough to get Gomez out of his depression and in the Wednesday show, he took the blame for someone she killed to protect him when they were in school too. | |

The Frighteners: Frank Bannister and Dr. Lucy Lynskey meet when he has her and her dumbass husband Ray haunted and then pretends to show up and solve the problem. Lucy's marriage to Ray has become loveless over the years and it's ended when Ray is murdered—much like Frank's own wife Debra was murdered years earlier by the same people just as their marriage was on the verge of failing too. The connection between both Frank and Lucy is instant and strong, she believes in both his ability to communicate with the dead and his innocence when he's accused of the murders, she helps him escape and be temporarily separated from his body at another point, he gives up his life saving hers, gets sent back from Heaven with Debra's blessing to "be happy" and begins a new life with Lucy while she in turn also develops and now also shares his unique ability. | |

Chronicles of the Kencyrath: Played with in regards to Ganth and the Dreamweaver. Ganth obsessively adored her, and it was clearly unhealthy. It definitely isn't glamorized — it's clear this is very screwed up... although Ganth's feeling at least are also somewhat tragic. But even so, Ganth definitely believes she is his One True Love... but no one else really agrees with him, and the story doesn't present them as such. | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): Lampshaded by Louis de Pointe du Lac at the end of Season 1 when he refers to Armand as "the love of my life," and it's important to note that he never told Lestat de Lioncourt "I love you" directly. Armand is extremely devoted to Louis because "I care for him more than he cares for himself." By 2022, their ongoing romance (a minimum of 49 years) has lasted a lot longer than Louis and Lestat's relationship (which was just over 29 years). | |

After hinting at it throughout the original trilogy, The Matrix Resurrections more or less explicitly confirms Neo and Trinity as soul mates who will always find their way back to each other. Their love for each other is strong enough to transcend any attempts to suppress it and eventually leads to Trinity breaking free of the Matrix altogether when she is properly reunited with Neo. | |

Friends: Parodied in "The One Where Joey Tells Rachel": Phoebe asks Chandler if he believes in soulmates. He doesn't, he believes in falling in love, but not that there's one person who's perfect for you. She says "Good, because I just met Monica's!" The rest of the episode is him feeling increasingly threatened by this guy until Monica explains she doesn't believe in One True Love, either. On the other hand, "The One That Could Have Been" reveals that, even if everything was different, Monica and Chandler would still end up together. Also, Ross would still end up in a Will They or Won't They? with Rachel (although his crush on her does precede the point of divergence, so that makes sense). |

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: The final episode of the series reveals "soul stones"; everyone has one on the North Star, and those that fit together are soulmates. Sabrina stops her wedding with Aaron after she finds that their soul stones don't fit, and walks away from the altar—only to run into Harvey. They kiss and ride off as their soul stones fall together and fit perfectly. | |

In Star Trek: The Next Generation, Will Riker and Deanna Troi may get plenty of action in Gene Roddenberry's Free-Love Future, but ever since their first brief relationship, they have been each other's Imzadi (a Betazoid term that, in the EU, has deeper meanings than just "beloved"). They finally get married in Star Trek: Nemesis, and as of Star Trek: Picard, they've been married for twenty years and are raising a daughter. | |
