Chris Knierim and Alexa Scimeca Knierim are an adorable couple. Now, there are varying degrees of adorable when it comes to very in-love couples. But we can all probably agree that they fall somewhere on that scale of cuteness. They are non-stop cute.

In so many ways, the Knierims are the couple that everyone has in their lives in some way or another, give or take an Olympic medal or two. They’re aspirational and relentlessly cute together, but somehow down to Earth just enough that they’re great to hang out with.

These are all the ways the most-promoted couple of the Winter Olympics is That One Super Adorable Couple You Know.

They support each other through anything.

They have friends outside of their relationship ... who are also super adorable and photogenic.

One of them tends to use way too many exclamation points and random abbreviations.

They give each other adorable Valentine’s Day gifts.

... but they also do that annoying thing where they ask the person you are married to to be your Valentine.

They call each other “my person.”

They pretend they’re not photogenic even though they’re the most photogenic people alive.

They say things out loud that should probably be kept between them.

Their anniversary excursions are right out of travel magazine.

They have VERY GOOD DOGS who are just as pretty as they are.
