A number of Hollywood's best comedy talents are romantically connected.

Some enjoy separate gigs in acting, writing, producing, or hosting a talk show. Others combine their talents to make some of the funniest TV shows and movies in the business.

You may recognize several couples on Business Insider's list, such as comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, actress Portia de Rossi ("Arrested Development"). 

And then there's the dynamic pairing of "Guardians of the Galaxy" star and hilarious "Parks and Recreation" alum Chris Pratt, and his wife, Anna Faris of "Mom" and "The House Bunny."
