113. When Cleopatra Met Mark Antony Feb 19, 2025

Show notes

You may be thinking to yourself, didn’t you already cover this couple already? Nope! A few weeks back we covered the brief affair between Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. This week, we’re diving deep into the legendary romance between Cleopatra and Mark Antony. One of history's most famous power couples, and the inspiration for at least two of William Shakespeare’s plays (maybe even more).

Join us as we explore the passionate love affair that transcended political alliances, shaped the future of the ancient world, and led to a dramatic war between Rome and Egypt.

112: When Domenico Dolce Met Stefano Gabbana *TEASER* Feb 12, 2025

Show notes

Ciao! Buongiorno! It’s fashion week for Significant Lovers!

Did you know Dolce & Gabbana isn’t just a fashion brand? Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were real-life lovers before becoming world-renowned fashion designers. Today, we may think of D&G as a status symbol of wealth, but the real Dolce and Gabbana were scrappy, struggling, aspiring designers when they first met in 1980.

Join us as we piece together the love story between Dolce and Gabbana. D&G are known for saying controversial things, so please don’t shoot the messengers! Just grab an Aperol Spritz or Negroni, settle back, and imagine it’s the early 1980s in Northern Italy…

111. When Ellen DeGeneres Met Portia de Rossi Feb 05, 2025

Show notes

Ellen Degeneres, the comedian, actress, and talk show host, has faced her fair share of controversies. First, she was literally cancelled in 1997 after coming out as gay on network television.

Actress Portia de Rossi—young and in the closet—watched Ellen come out and rebuild her career, in awe and terrified of ever doing the same.

Ellen and Portia were both in relationships when they first met, but quickly fell for each other. Through all their individual ups and downs over 21 years (including Ellen’s second cancellation in 2020), they’ve clearly been there for each other.

We’re discussing it all this week—Dakota Johnson ("That's not true, Ellen"), celebrity pets, being judged for your relationship…and that time one of our friendships ended over Ellen!

109. When Jenn Tran Met Sasha Farber Jan 22, 2025

Show notes

Sometimes rejection is just redirection. Jenn Tran’s whirlwind year took her from an unknown physician assistant student to Bachelor contestant, to the star of The Bachelorette, to a devastating broken engagement on live TV. But then ABC producers knocked on her dressing room door with an offer to join Dancing with the Stars.

Paired with pro dancer Sasha Farber, Jenn quickly learned ballroom dancing as fans picked up on their natural chemistry. But it wasn’t until after their elimination, when they began posting daily TikToks, that Mel found herself fully swept up in this new ship.

Join us as we dive into Jenn and Sasha’s adorable, blossoming love story and chat about the connection between dance and falling in love.

108. When Olivia Rodrigo Met Joshua Bassett *TEASER* Jan 15, 2025

Show notes

Were you alive in 2021? Then you most definitely have heard of Olivia Rodrigo and her breakout hit “drivers license.” And you probably have also heard of Joshua Bassett, Olivia’s ex-boyfriend (and then current co-star) who inspired the song. But what you might not have heard was the whole story of their relationship…

From their on-screen chemistry in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series to the real-life drama that played out on radios across the globe, listen as we explore the rollercoaster of a teen romance between Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett.

In this special Patreon episode of Significant Lovers, we unpack the break-up behind Olivia and Joshua’s music, the “blonde older woman” that is Sabrina Carpenter, the current state of pop music, and the phenomenon of one-sided relationships (and why have we all experienced it?).
