Why Jack and Rebecca's Picture-Perfect Romance on This Is Us Has Ruined Love For Me

Feb 14 2018 by Kelsie Gibson

Ever since the very first episode of This Is Us, Rebecca and Jack's romance has stolen my heart. Not only are they extremely adorable to the point that it's almost sickening, but they really are the perfect pair. Sure, they have their ups and downs like every married couple, but they never give up on each other. When Rebecca grieves the loss of her third triplet, Jack does everything he can to lift her spirits. And when Jack battles his alcoholism, Rebecca is right there to pick him up.

While their relationship has a tragic ending (RIP Jack), their life together is a great example of what "true love" is. As Miguel puts it, "They were one. There was no 'Jack.' There was no 'Rebecca.' It was just 'Jack and Rebecca.'" I can't get enough of their sweet moments together, and I'm sure other fans of the show can agree. Their fictional relationship has basically ruined romance for the rest of us, right? How can we ever find a love as special as theirs? In honor of their iconic love story, read on for all the times they set unrealistic couple goals for the rest of us.
