February 11, 2008

In conjunction with Valentine's Day, we named some of reality's coolest couples.

1. Suzy Preston & Matt Hoover of The Biggest Loser
Love, as they say, comes in all shapes and sizes. Matt Hoover and Suzy Preston first laid eyes on each other at their absolute worst: Matt, a former wrestling coach, was 339 pounds, while Suzy, a hairstylist, was 227 pounds! The two fell in love during the series and together they lost a combined 252 pounds. On March 28, 2006, Matt popped the question on NBC’s “Today” show and the two had their first child, a baby boy, on June 23, 2007. Still together and still going strong, Suzy and Matt are our Biggest Winners in love.

2. Travis Barker & Shanna Moakler of Meet the Barkers
Shanna Moakler has done what millions of Americans can only dream of: punch Paris Hilton in the face. Love is a battlefield. Moakler, a former Miss USA and Playboy model turned TV actress, married Travis Barker, the mohawked drummer of Blink-182 in October 2004 after he proposed to her at the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland. Together they starred in MTV’s reality series, Meet the Barkers, appeared together in an episode of CSI, and had two children together. Barker eventually filed for divorce in August 2006 and a week later, Barker was allegedly seeing Paris Hilton. This led to a confrontation at an L.A nightclub where Moakler was accused of battery against Paris. No charges came out of the brouhaha, but Barker and Moakler did briefly reconcile before separating for good in July of 2007. Shanna is currently hosting The CW’s Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants.
