As a hopeless romantic, it doesn't take much for me to root silently (and publicly) for a couple, whether I know the full scope of their love story or not. My admiration for singer Miguel and Nazanin Mandi is no different. The couple is young love turned fully grown personified, they are supportive frequent collaborators, unafraid to walk on the wild side, and aesthetically-gifted. Fun fact, as the muse of his life, Miguel wrote "Sure Thing" and "Adorn" for Nazanin.


Coming up on their second-year wedding anniversary, and 15 years in a relationship altogether, Miguel and Nazanin are a testament to the peaks and valleys of love, and doing the work to grow together. Despite issues with infidelity and a subsequent one-year break, Miguel and Nazanin are proof that sometimes love isn't linear and you must break up in order to come back as something better. In a past conversation with Nazanin during her time as a co-host on the Ladies Like Us podcast, Miguel revealed:

"I loved her. I wasn't necessarily always in love with her at the time. And my actions showed that. Because I didn't really know, I was still discovering things for myself about me. And how to love myself and going through that, just transitioning from being a little more obscure and like all of my time and energy going into music. So a lot of the energy and time went to that and our relationship didn't get a lot of the nurturing that could have been shown to her that, that she deserved, that we deserve."

Mistakes are human and what's most important is learning from them and putting in the work to continuously be better for yourself and your partner. Therapy ultimately helped them level up their love and would be the catalyst to the change and understanding both parties needed. Communication is key but one that a lot of us can't master without the tools from a therapist which helped the couple get to a place where they recognized their love was one worth fighting for.

The pair have since married and officially tied the knot in November 2018 in an intimate ceremony that was captured beautifully by Vogue. In honor of Miguel and Nazanin's anniversary, here are 8 times the two were absolute relationship goals.

The Final Mercury Retrograde Of 2024 Is Here—How This Bold Energy Will Shift Your Perspective

The final Mercury retrograde of the year arrives this month, and this is an opportunity to close one chapter and prepare for a new one. Mercury retrogrades are the time of the year when you take a step back, assess where your life currently is, and be a little more flexible with how things are playing out for you. When Mercury is in retrograde, miscommunications and misdirections are more likely; however, this isn’t the time to fear where you are headed; it’s more about looking at things from a different perspective right now.

The Holiday Bedroom Debate: Sleeping Together, Apart, Or Not At All?

I can’t speak for everyone, but my grandmother has strict rules around who can share a bed at her house. No one will ever be “shacking up” under her roof, so for me and her other grandchildren, that means leaving your boyfriend/girlfriend at home or footing the bill for a hotel during an already costly holiday season. Even for family members who have more liberal house rules, sharing a home with my parents will ensure a silent night for us all.
