Our “Love on the Streets of... ” series is officially in full force. Our goal? To spot real-life couples in some of the coolest metropolitan cities, learn about who they are, uncover the magic that makes them click, and snap some really cute photos that prove love is real. So far, we’ve tackled NYC, London, and Mexico City. And for our fourth installment, we traversed the not-so-pedestrian-friendly Los Angeles! (Anything for you, dear reader.)
We scoured the city of angels and scouted a dozen clearly-infatuated-with-each-other couples for our Fall 2024 issue and bumped into a handful of friendly faces along the way! It is Hollywood after all...
But in case you’re not pop culture obsessed like us, here’s a little cheat sheet: You may or may not recognize Caroline Day from Riverdale, Nia Sioux from Dance Moms, Scott Hoying from Pentatonix, Mary and Romain Bonnet from Selling Sunset, or Terry Hu from The Girls on the Bus (now streaming on MAX!) You’re welcome ;) Our next stop is Atlanta! Stay tuned: We may be coming to another city near you soon.
