When Beyoncé and Blue Ivy make an appearance together on a red carpet, is it even worth talking about the other couples? Is there a better couple? Do any other couples matter?
We’re not sure, but we’re going to talk about the non-BeyBlue couples at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, anyway. Despite the surplus of very pregnant (not to mention pregnant-and-topless) fashion statements, the political jackets, and the OG Teen Moms, we will admit that we said, “Aww,” a few times. We’re not fans of Meek Mill, but when he started hugging Nicki Minaj from behind as the cameras flashed, we felt the love.
Plus, it's always fun to see Michael Phelps wearing clothes. Equally fun? Seeing Kim Kardashian barely wearing anything at all. Enjoy this slideshow of the night's cutest couples!
DJ Khaled & Nicole Tuck

Laura Perlongo & Nev Schulman
The Catfish star and his pregnant girlfriend give us the millennial version of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's matching denim. We're not exactly sure it's an improvement.

Meek Mill & Nicki Minaj
Yes, Mill's hand is exactly where you'd expect it to be.

Blue Ivy & Beyoncé
Angelic, majestic, romantic, and epic. That's pretty much all we have to say. Slay.

Ashley Graham & Justin Ervin
We'd rather he was just as naked as she is, but we'll settle for such a sharp-looking three-piece suit.

Kim Kardashian West & Kanye West
Kim took some inspiration from Robert Palmer's slick music video girls, but with less clothing. Kanye, meanwhile, would just like to remind everyone that he is famous.

Swizz Beatz & Alicia Keys
This is how you coordinate your clothes as a couple without going into full-on denim-tuxedo mode.

Michael Phelps & Nicole Johnson
After Phelps spent most of his 2016 TV time with large cupping marks on his back, it's nice to see the record-breaking Olympian wearing clothes.

David Eason & Jenelle Evans
This is definitely not the moment that made us say, "Aww," but it made us say many other things. In private. Into a pillow. Still, cheers to the happy couple!
