‘The Boys’ Romance Recap: Where Each Couple Stands Before the Final Season

Maintaining a relationship in The Boys‘ universe is nothing short of a superheroic feat. Half of the characters are too morally ambiguous — or downright immoral — to have a bona fide romance. The other half are constantly driven apart by deadly threats. Quite a few The Boys love stories have ended tragically, naturally. But going into Season 5, several couples are still going strong (or as strong as they can be amidst a Supe government coup).

For one, OG couple Hughie (Jack Quaid) and Annie (Erin Moriarty) hit a rough patch toward the end of Season 4, while Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) and Frenchie’s (Tomer Capone) romance finally ignited after seasons of slow burn.
