This is one of my favorite photos. It says, "We are making sure EVERYONE is getting their money's worth out of today's pandemic outing," and it really set the tone for their entire public-facing relationship.
And then we got the, "Oh, fancy meeting you here, ha ha, I'm going to show you how it feels, and also my beloved just HAPPENED to be wearing trendy eyeglasses today that you've never seen before and may never see again!"
And here's the first time I thought, "Wow, I don't know about Ana's pants choices." I thought it many, many more times. It was quite a pants dance.
This is when they started learning how hard it is to walk in an aggressively coupled-up way while also presenting a good photo angle AND minding your dogs.
Ben is legit about to twist an ankle here. Beware of paparazzi-based love injuries, celebs of the world.
Ana's face says, "This may be our first collective Dunkin', but it's not my first. It's not even by second. It's only been a month and oh my God I'm tired of Dunkin'."
This is straight out of a rom-com montage. They fully wrote their own here.
And like any great montage, there are bloopers, like Ben eating her hair.
And then there was the day they took the note about masks, given how often they were bumping into people on their walks (I skipped those pics this time), and yet Ana still hadn't QUITE sorted out the nose coverage issue.
Worst music video ever.
Well, she looks adorable, and I assume Ben is telling her so. Or he's making sure she knows the photographer is at their two o'clock. Maybe both.
Oh, Ben. You didn't need to get this creative. Don't risk injury just for a photo op.
Ana seems a lot more dextrous. She can kiss and Flamingo at the same time.
This was a special, perplexing time, when she was cold enough for a wool coat but hot enough to slide said coat off halfway and just be in her cami.
American Gothic 2021.
We were all so bored this summer that we analyzed whether they bought themselves one of those heart necklaces you split in half, or whether he was just wearing her half.

Just remember the good times, Ben.
These pants were not part of the good times.
This may have been the beginning of the end, as he STILL manages to shove his mask up over his eyes.
That bottle says, "I'm already drinking something so NO NEED TO STOP AT DUNKIN', WE'RE ALL GOOD HERE."
And there's the Back Tat. We really can't discount that Ana may have looked upon it one too many times and could not fathom living with it for a minute longer.
One last juggling act; one last obstacle course of affection.
And one last butt pat.
