Rom-Coms, the original comfort movies, often revolve around a central couple navigating the maze of love. But let's spill the rom-com tea: the unsung heroes are the secondary pairs who sometimes outshine the main act. The rom-com formula, a delightful mix of humour and a sprinkle of drama, usually guarantees a happy ending where love conquers all (though rebellious ones have shaken this up).

Sometimes, these sidekicks become fan favourites or, dare we say, the real MVPs. Some even score their own romances, leaving an indelible mark and making us question if they were the true stars all along. Check out the best side couples in rom-coms below.
