10 Sweet Kisses That Marked the 2023 Oscars

At this year’s Oscars, many people came and went. Some exited the red carpet, dragging their stunning gowns, while others sped up their strolls. From Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s passionate kiss to Rebel Wilson and her fiancèè Ramona’s tender moment, the couples and friends openly showed affection during the 95th Academy Awards.

1. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban

It’s not uncommon for celebrity couples to show public affection at events like the Oscars, and Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban slayed it. The couple, who married in June 2006 and shared 2 children, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, clasped hands as they posed for shots.

Nicole and Keith are definitely still in love after 16 years. Anybody nearby was in awe of the couple’s outpouring of love as they shared a smooch while walking the red carpet.

2. Rebel Wilson and Ramona Agruma

Rebel and Ramona recently announced their engagement in February, and they are clearly in love as we saw them pose for photos giving each other a beautiful kiss at an Oscar party. The couple has been dating since 2022 and has always been close. “I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince, but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess,” Wilson wrote.

3. Rita Ora and Taika Waititi

Rita Ora and her husband, Taika Waititi, exchanged a tender moment at the Vanity Fair Oscar party. She was ethereal in a white dress that looked similar to a bridal gown with a bit of an edge, but Taika appeared classy and sophisticated in a black fitted suit.

The duo couldn’t take their eyes off each other as they posed for the cameras, and after their initial kiss on the lips, Taika gave his wife a tender peck on the cheek.

4. Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo

Adam Levine’s hands were firmly gripped by his wife, Behati, as they stood on the red carpet. After their rumored breakup, the couple appeared on the red carpet for the first time. They smiled heartily and looked into each other’s eyes as they shared lovely moments of gentle cheek kissing.

5. Cardi B and Offset

At the Vanity Fair Oscar party, Cardi B and Offset gave off a really loving vibe. With some challenges along the way, the couple, who wed in 2017, have made their peace and share 2 beautiful children.

Even though Offset claimed that their dream date would be at McDonald’s, it was still a fancy night out for the rappers, who lovingly showed affection for each other.

6. Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis

The 2 Oscar winners were ecstatic with their triumphs, not just because they both won but also because they did so together. Fate brought them together on the Everything Everywhere All at Once set, but they built a close bond that stretched beyond work. “A woman after my own heart,” Michelle has said about her co-star.

Throughout award season, Jamie and Michelle have shown a lot of support for one another. They have also been caught together sharing an emotional moment, with Jamie sealing it (and proving the strength of their bond) with a kiss on Yeoh’s forehead.

7. Ke Huy Quan, Troy Kotsur, left and Ariana DeBose

Ke Quy Quan won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and his moving acceptance speech has won hearts worldwide since he took the stage to accept the honor. “I spent a year in a refugee camp, and somehow, I ended up here, on Hollywood’s biggest stage,” the actor claimed.

After winning, he celebrated with people who supported him from the start, and one special moment was the conjoined kiss he shared with Troy Kotsur and Ariana DeBose.

8. Lady Gaga and Brendan Gleeson

Lady Gaga made several notable appearances at the 2023 Oscars, from strutting the stage in a no-makeup look to kissing Brendan Gleeson in front of the cameras.

The 2 celebrities welcomed one another on the red carpet with affection, hugging, posing for selfies, and even placing a full-on kiss on the lips. Many fans were perplexed by their interactions, but the true reason is related to their present involvement in the filming of Joker: Folie á Deux.

9. Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan

Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan couldn’t leave their special night without capturing it on camera. Both victors were nominated in the same category and worked and supported one another throughout the filmmaking process in order to win an Oscar. The couple kissed as they lifted their Oscars in front of the cameras, both extremely happy about their accomplishments.

10. Brendan Fraser and Jeanne Moore

Brendan won everyone’s hearts with his winning speech, reaffirming his hard work and dedication to filming The Whale. The actor walked Oscar red carpet with his 2 sons and hand-in-hand with Jeanne, his girlfriend.

They’ve only been together for a few months but are already madly in love. Indeed, as soon as they declared his victory, Brendan leaned in and kissed his partner with all the excitement he could muster.
