Even the biggest cynics couldn’t hack away the love between these pairs.
At theEmmys 2026, whereHacks,The PittandWidow’s Baylead nominations, couples are continuing with a long-standing tradition of turning TV’s biggest night into a love fest on the red carpet.
While they were both also nominated for Emmys,Matthew RhysandKeri Russellproved they keep winning when they put their love on display on the red carpet Sept. 14 at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles.(For every star on theEmmys 2026 red carpet, coupled-up or not, see here.)
Meanwhile,Brenda SongandMacaulay Culkin—who share two kids together—might have playfully confirmed they are not yet married at a pre-Emmys festivity, but they still proved their love knows no bounds while making a super sweet appearance on the red carpet.
And though Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series winnerNoah Wyleand his wifeSara Wellsopted not to walk the carpet together this year, they’re on the same team in more ways than one when Wells scrubbed in for a special appearance in the latest season ofThe Pitt, which leads with 25 nominations.

And naturally, Wyle supported her every step of the way.
“He said, ‘Just go have fun,'” Wells—who played patient Ashley Davis in season two—told<a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2026/04/02/noah-wyle-wife-in-the-pitt/89390736007/” rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank”>USA Todayin an April 2026 interview. “He could tell I was a bit nervous because this is his sandbox. I wanted to make sure I honored the show and brought my A-game.”
Meanwhile,Steve CarellandNancy Carell—who tied the knot in 1995—also opted to keep their romance away from the Emmys 2026, but Carell has already credited her with his skills in landing his 12th Emmy nomination forThe Rooster.
“We read scripts together, and after 30 years of marriage, we know each other pretty well,”Carell—dad to two children with his wife—toldL’Officielin an interview published in March. “We really do finish each other’s sentences, but people who know us know that she’s way funnier than I am. She’s just a super-talented and smart person. And, you know, she’s a babe.”
While this year’s couples are especially sweet, the Emmys red carpet has always been a placewhere couples can put their romance on display, especially for couples who mix business and pleasure. In 2025,Leslie Bibb—who is up for Outstanding Guest Actress this year for herHacksappearance—shared how her and longtime partnerSam Rockwell’s roles inThe White Lotusseason two strengthened their bond.
“It was really nice to be able to have this very important experience in my life and he understands it in a very deep way,” Bibb told E! News on the carpet last year. “If I make a reference to something, he knows what I’m talking about.”
As she put it, “I didn’t understand how much I would appreciate it.”
