It's true that secrets and terrifying situations are the name of the game on Pretty Little Liars. But many fans watch this popular series for the love stories. It's thrilling to watch Hanna fall in love with Caleb, and for many, Spencer and Toby have a sweet relationship that is also dramatic and engrossing. Emily is also in some compelling relationships, and every liar has at least a few minor love interests with whom they have real chemistry. Romance is always part of daily life in Rosewood for these young adults, and viewers enjoy seeing these couples go through highs and lows.
There are so many pairs on Pretty Little Liars who stand out to fans, and viewers are chatting about which couples they think are the best in several threads on Reddit.
Emily And Maya
Reddit user MrsSteeles loves Emily and Maya's relationship and wrote, "I will forever ship Emily and Maya. Maya was perfect for Emily and really opened Emily up."
Many Pretty Little Liars fans agree, as it's heartwarming when Maya moves to town and bonds with Emily as soon as she's unpacking her stuff in Alison's old house. Some viewers might love Emily with Paige or Ali, but since Maya is Emily's very first love, she deserves a special shout-out.
Hanna And Caleb
Reddit user rofosho loves Hanna and Caleb because "I love the bad boy/ rich girl arch. They both help each other break free of their roles and become better for it."
This couple often comes up when talking about the major pairs on the show, and for good reason, as Hanna and Caleb's romance is always intriguing. Their journey includes so much drama, from their meet-cute in season 1 that leads to Caleb hiding in Hanna and Ashley's home to the many times that they split up. Many fans are satisfied that the couple is happily married and having a baby in the series finale. It doesn't feel like either character could have this connection with anyone else.
Spencer And Caleb
Reddit user Vegeta21 said "Spencer and Caleb for me" and another Redditor replied, "they are a really good match. I wish they had stayed together."
Fans are torn when thinking back on Spencer and Caleb's surprising relationship. Their time together is definitely sweet and romantic, but it's hard for some viewers to give up on Spencer and Toby and Hanna and Caleb. No matter what people think, it's fun and unexpected to see Spencer and Caleb connect, and they do seem to love each other. It feels like they need each other at this point in their lives, and it's okay that they decide to part ways.
Pam And Wayne
For Reddit user Coffeenwineplease, Emily's parents are a great pair. They posted, "Wayne and Pam Fields. They felt like a real, healthy married couple."
Not every Pretty Little Liars family unit seems very happy, as Spencer's parents are often fighting or ignoring each other, and Bryon cheats on Ella. But Pam and Wayne have a sweet relationship and it's always heartwarming to see scenes at Emily's house, as it's a nice break from the drama and horror in the rest of the show. Viewers were crushed when Wayne passes away later on in the series.
Mona And Mike
One Reddit user and PLL fan said "Mona and Mike" as a favorite couple on the teen drama.
Mona does horrible things on Pretty Litte Liars, so seeing her fall in love with Aria's brother is a nice change of pace. While this couple doesn't last forever, many fans are pleased to see them together. This love story is even better because at first, Mona gets close to Mike so she can keep spying and manipulating people, but she realizes that she likes him more than she anticipated. An unexpected relationship is always one of the best parts of a teen drama, and it's also great to see Mike get his own romantic storyline since the focus is often on his sister.
Alison And Emily
Reddit user elizabethcooper wrote, "Emily/Alison were always my favorite."
Emily and Ali go through so much that by the time they end up together, fans can breathe a huge sigh of relief. They even survive A taking Emily's eggs and implanting them inside Ali, which means that she gets pregnant with twins. After so many years and so much pain, Ali realizes that she truly loves Emily, and viewers have definitely been waiting a long time to see her notice her friend.
Emily And Samara
For one Reddit user, "Emily and Samara" are a favorite PLL couple.
Samara and Emily are only together briefly in season 2, but the former makes a big impression. Sadly, the pair splits up because A manipulates the situation so Samara believes that Emily is flirting and interested in someone else. The liars get many scary text messages from A, and this is just one example of the awful influence that this figure has over all of their lives. If not for A, it's possible that Emily would end up with Samara, which would please some fans.
Aria And Jake
Reddit user mc140797 wrote that they enjoyed watching Aria and Jake's season 4 romance because "He was willing to be there for her and protect her, and he also made her a little more open and supportive of interests he had that she didn't have."
Many Pretty Little Liars viewers would prefer that Aria leave Ezra and date other people. It's tough to support such a large age difference, especially with Aria underage. Of all the love interests that she has over the seasons, Jake makes the most sense. It's fun watching Aria talk to someone who isn't part of her usual crowd, and it seems like she and Jake could have something real and special — if not for Ezra.
Spencer And Toby
Reddit user Philofelinist likes "Spoby" and explained, "Toby isn't well loved here but they're the most grounded couple and are good for each other. Toby cares about Spencer's wellbeing and Spencer helped him become more accepted by Rosewood."
While Toby and Spencer's relationship is flawed, it makes sense that several fans think that they're good together. From the moment that they meet, they want to treat each other well and they don't care what others think of their relationship. While Emily might be the first person to befriend Toby and realize that he's kind, Spencer falls for him fast and hard, and fans appreciate that this love story gets a happy ending.
Spencer And Alex
Reddit user MavisGary likes seeing Spencer with an early love interest on the show: "I second tennis Alex from season 1! I loved Spencer with him."
Spencer and Alex flirt at the Rosewood Country Club, and that's a perfect setting for a teen drama meet-cute. It sets up that they have different financial situations and that money could come between them. While it never seems like they can end up together, it's still satisfying to see these two characters find each other, however briefly.
