These LGBTQ Couples Prove True Love Knows No Boundaries

Kristy McNichol and Martie Allen – Together Since 1991

Kristy McNichol was once one of Hollywood’s most recognizable young stars, thanks to her Emmy-winning role in “Family” and hits like “Little Darlings.” But long before she officially left acting in 2001, she’d already built a quiet life with Martie Allen.

Martie, a former aspiring actress herself, met Kristy in 1991, and the two began a relationship that’s now well over 30 years strong. They never had children, choosing instead a calm, private life together in Los Angeles. In 2012, Kristy confirmed their relationship publicly, not for fame but to stand with LGBTQ youth facing harassment. Their story still resonates with fans who value long-lasting, drama-free love.
