Pretty Little Liars, which ran on TV from 2010 to 2017, was about a group of friends who received ominous and anonymous messages from “A.” While fighting off this person and trying to figure out who was doing this to them, they also had to manage their social lives, school, home, and so on.
That being said, romance was a big part of this show. The main characters, Spencer Hastings, Aria Montgomery, Hanna Marin, Emily Fields, and Alison DiLaurentis, would not have gotten as far as they did without their significant others. So, let’s look back and rank the top couples from PLL.
Aria & Jason
At the end of the series, time jumped forward, and the setting was the future: The girls had graduated, left Rosewood, gone off to school and work and new romance and lives. It was revealed that during that time, Aria and Jason DiLaurentis had a fling.
As Alison’s older brother, Jason was always around, and he was not bad to look at…not at all. Their relationship seemed quite physical, and they also had some common interests and the same passionate personalities. It was not meant to be, though.
Emily & Sabrina
Before Emily came out, she was with a guy named Ben. Afterward, though, there were several lucky ladies who were involved with this main character. One of them was Sabrina, who worked at The Brew.
Sabrina was a very caring and quirky person, and it was clear that she had a big and giving heart. From keeping Emily’s secret about going to the doctor’s office (to donate her eggs), to simply providing coffee, snacks, and an ear to listen, Sabrina was a shining light in Emily’s life…but the light was brief.
Spencer & Marco
In the time jump, Toby was with Yvonne, and Spencer got with Caleb! But, of course, he made his way back to Hanna, which freed Spencer up for new things, like Marco Furey, a Rosewood detective. These two met at a bar then had a steamy scene in an elevator. Later on, he took her to a place that was special to him, and they shared more meaningful moments.
However, these main characters were always being asked to come to the police station or called in for questionings, so a relationship with one of Rosewood’s finest (that wasn’t Toby) was not really ideal.
Alison & Lorenzo
On a similar note, there was Alison and Lorenzo Calderon. He was a police officer in town, and he was attracted to Ali. The two kept bumping into each other and flirting, and this grew into something that seemed sort of real.
But then, Ali stole his access card, in order to sneak into the station, and he was not very happy when he found out about it (for obvious reasons). This ended what they had…which would have ended sooner or later anyway.
Mona & Mike
Mona was heavily involved on all sides of the ‘‘A’’ game, and at one point, she started dating Aria’s little brother, Mike. At first, this was not-so-great news for Aria and her friends, since Mona had been the one tormenting them early on in the show.
As time went on, though, it was clear that these two really loved each other and made each other happy. While Mike did not show up in the final episodes (not even for his parents’ wedding!), it is nice to think that they could have found their way back to one another.
Emily & Alison
Oh, Emison. First, everyone found out that Emily had liked Ali as more than a friend. After Ali came back, she finally admitted that she felt the same, and these two had a moment in bed. Then, through a crazy series of events, Ali ended up being pregnant with Emily’s babies. These two decided to take a go at it, be a real family and actually be a couple.
However, in Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists, Ali had moved to a whole new state, as this relationship was on the rocks. They went through a lot together…but maybe it was too much.
Emily & Maya
Someone that Emily truly seemed to mesh with was Maya St.Germain. She moved into Ali’s house, and she and Emily hit it off in all the right ways. From the beginning, this relationship was full of honesty, authenticity, and magic, and the other girls were jealous of Em!
Unfortunately, Maya lost her life, and Emily lost true love. It will never be known if this couple would have lasted forever, but it is good that Emily experienced such a beautiful thing.
Spencer & Toby
One of the main couples on this show was Spencer and Toby Cavanaugh. Everyone was pretty unsure about this guy at first, but he was just misunderstood. In fact, he was really this super sweet, caring, and funny person who was eager to have friends and more than friends.
From playing Scrabble and getting that pickup truck to the special gummy bears and comforting each other during dark times, these two were always there for the highs and the lows.
Aria & Ezra
Another main couple would be Aria and Ezra Fitz. From the start, there were some issues here, since he was her teacher. And after she found out that he knew Ali, it was not clear if the relationship was salvageable or not.
But they were really in love. They were meant to be. And even after being with other people, dealing with an ex that reappeared, finding out that they couldn’t have children naturally, getting kidnapped by A. They made it work and got their happily ever after.
Hanna & Caleb
And then there was Hanna and Caleb Rivers. He was the bad boy in town, and he fell for the blonde fashionista. A big part of this was because Hanna literally took Caleb in when he had nowhere to go.
Everything just went up from there! Sure, there were some rough patches and some really sad moments, but these two understood each other and balanced each other out. They fought hard but they loved harder. And they, too, ended up with that perfect happy ending (and the title of the top PLL couple!).
