Humans of New York Captures Love at the Met Gala
Celebrity couples at this year's Met Gala open up to Humans of New York photographer Brandon Stanton with these heart-warming stories.
Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively
“She always responds with empathy. She meets anger with empathy. She meets hate with empathy. She’ll take the time to imagine what happened to a person when they were five or six years old. And she’s made me a more empathetic person. I had a very fractured relationship with my father. Before he died, she made me remember things I didn’t want to remember. She made me remember the good times.”
Serena Williams & Alexis Ohanian
“She has the biggest heart. Everyone sees her success as an athlete, but all of that is layered on the size of her heart. She gives 100% of herself to everything she does: as a friend, as a lover, and soon, as a mother.”
Claire Danes & Hugh Dancy
“Having a child was the best thing that ever happened to us. But it is constant company with terrible conversation.”
Stephen Colbert & Evelyn McGee-Colbert
“He’s so sexy. And he taught me the importance of being silly.” “Being silly is so important. Silly is the opposite of grief. It’s throwing yourself into a moment without care. You can’t always maintain your status as a dignified person-- it gives you blinders. When you always expect the world to fulfill your expectations, it wears you down. It closes you off.” “So sexy.”
