This is a list consisting of couples from the fictional realm, as well as the media surrounding celebrity, who have been titled as supercouples. Couples that merit such a title include:
- Mania (significant press, media attention, etc. being placed on the couple, having to do with charm)
- Labeled a supercouple (for soap opera, couple must be thought of as a supercouple widely enough throughout the soap opera medium or outside of it to appear on main soap opera supercouples list, see Supercouples today)
- Notable impact (having defined the medium by either Number 1 criteria cited above or by becoming a defacto symbol for its genre)
- Listed as an all-time top romance (this usually applying to television, film and video game couples)
Each of these examples has been identified by scholars, critics and press as defining a supercouple.[1][2][3][4]
