In Hollywood, love doesn't always last long, but these super-cute celebs made it through 2013. See who are they here.

Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards

2013 was a big year for these British pop stars. The cute couple took their relationship status to the next level when Zayn proposed to Perrie and gave us all something to look forward to in 2014 (hopefully)—the celeb wedding of the year! 

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield

Whether they're grabbing coffee or web-swinging through the streets of New York for the Spidey sequel, this on and off-screen duo is pretty much always looking seriously cute and in love. Emma and Andrew met while filming The Amazing Spiderman and have been dating ever since. 

Avan Jogia and Zoey Deutch

The adorable duo always look super stylish,-and coordinated. While Avan dresses like an Englishman (three-piece plaid suits and all), Zoey is all about girly looks, making for one perfectly-polished pair. This low-key couple is also a top contender for 2013's Best Dressed couple award!

Troian Bellisario and Patrick J. Adams

This relationship is definitely the cutest one to ever hit Instagram. The PLL star and her Suits boyfriend are always snapping sweet and artsy pics of each other, while making the rest of the world jealous of their super cool (and romantic) adventures: road trips, aerial gymnastics, and film festivals! So jel.

Naya Rivera and Big Sean

Not only did these two get engaged this year, but the talented singers inspire each other's music, too! Naya released her first solo single "Sorry" this year, featuring her now-fiance Big Sean. We wonder if these two will write songs for their wedding (possibly next year?).

Nick Jonas and Olivia Culpo

Both Nick and Olivia are crazy busy and are constantly traveling for work, but they still make time for each other-and in the cutest of ways! Nick even flew all the way to Russia to watch Olivia pass on her Miss Universe crown-now that's commitment.

Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler

After meeting through mutual friend Ashley Tisdale, Austin and Vanessa have been seriously dating for the past year. The two lovebirds are always spotted on the red carpet supporting one another.

Katy Perry and John Mayer

Ariana Grande and Nathan Sykes

After collaborating on "Almost is Never Enough" for The Mortal Instruments soundtrack, Ariana and Nathan hit it off and started dating, and it didn't take long for the whole world to notice their adorable chemistry The two even made it official by confirming their relationship on Twitter when Nathan tweeted, "So, I guess it's obvious now... thanks to everyone who is being so lovely. I'm so happy ❤️." All together now-aw!

Sarah Hyland and Matt Prokop
