Good examples of inter racial couples in media

I've been watching Master of None, and albeit I haven't finished it yet, I quite like the dynamic between Dev and Rachel as an inter racial couple. Then it hit me that such a thing is not that common in media as far as I know, and is something that I'd like to see more represented, seeing that I'm part of a inter ratial relationship myself.
On top of my had I can think of that time Larry David had a thing with Loretta Black, but I'm not sure that's a good example.

So, what other examples can you think of?

The couple from The Big Sick was nice

The couple from Guess Whose Coming To Dinner is obviously iconic

I'd be more curious about a minority dude and a white lady. That seems especially rare, but I have no numbers to back it up so maybe I'm wrong.

Is there a DCTV show that doesn't have an interracial couple?

Supergirl I guess. I don't recall Arrow having any either, the only character that did is now single. Same for Supergirl, main character used to date James, a black man, but they're no longer together.

Rewatching a ton of TNG and DS9, so Keiko and Miles are what I thought of

Not only are they an interracial couple, but they also have a child and the man is disabled with long Kenny G hair.

Lmao I totally forgot about them, she barely shows up these days. Though that's no excuse, they have a kid, and I actually did her like 2 weeks or so ago.

Also my bad for working under the assumption that said couples had to be currently together lol

There's been a bunch of them in Star Wars ever since the canon reboot.

Ciena and Thane, Snap and Kare, Luke and Nakari, Leia and Kier, Zare and Merei, Han and Sana (... Sort of), Aphra and Sana (...sort of), increasingly looking like Aphra and Tolvan, etc.

Total guess and not a spoiler but I'd imagine Finn and Rose will be too.

Isn't that every couple on tv these days? Not really feeling it. What happened to black love?

Thanks for bringing up The Secret Saturdays. I remember watching the show back in the day thinking about how cool it was to see an interracial couple in a cartoon. Seeing a black kid protagonist on TV was also cool as fuck. The late 00s was a unique time for cartoons. So many good action cartoons came out!

For Arrow's interracial couples -

Diggle and Lyla - still together with a kid
Oliver and McKenna - broken up
Wild Dog and his wife - wife is dead
Sara and Nyssa - broken up
Nyssa and Oliver - technically married
Curtis and Paul - Divorced
Moira and Walter - Moira is dead

And the actress who plays Dinah is multiracial ( her IMBD page states"Juliana Harkavy is an American actress of Dominican, Russian, African, Chinese, and Hungarian descent."), so depending on whether her background plays into her character or not, You could add Dinah and
Vigilante
to the list


but to add to the list:
