Some star couples are using the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards to lean into what the world needs now—love, sweet love.
Indeed, multiple pairs of lovebirds used the March 17 ceremony—hosted by LL Cool J—as a special date night and graced the red carpet in style. (See every celeb at the award show here.)
For instance, Ariana Madix shimmered in a gold cocktail dress and matching pumps as she wrapped her arm around boyfriend Daniel Wai, who sported a heather green suit draped over a forest green shirt.
In addition to the Vanderpump Rules alum, Bachelor Nation's Serena Pitt and Joe Amabile—who got engaged after meeting on Bachelor in Paradise in 2021—rocked out on the red carpet, with Serena donning a sparkling black-and-white cocktail dress and strappy black heels. For his part, Joe wore a gray short-sleeved button down, black slacks and black loafers.
Nelly—who is performing and being honored with the 2025 iHeartRadio Landmark Award for his decades-long contribution to music—had a parents' night out at the event with his wife Ashanti, with whom he shares 8-month-old Kareem Kendaide “KK” Haynes.
Also on the carpet, Jojo Siwa wowwed the crowd as she sported an eccentric denim outfit, complete with a chandelier head piece, and shared a kiss with girlfriend Kath Ebbs, whom she confirmed she was dating in January.
"I'm in a beautiful relationship right now," Jojo told E! News' Francesca Amiker on the red carpet. "I feel so understood in a way that I've never been before. I feel so matched with that level of care and that level of natural instinct to care towards somebody."
She added, "It's been a beautiful few months."
Other couples that walked the red carpet together included Jenny McCarthy and husband Donnie Wahlberg, as well as journalists T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach.
Whether they’re there to perform, present or just have a date night, all of the evening’s couples are in for an exciting event. Fresh off of their wins at the Grammys, Kendrick Lamar and Sabrina Carpenter lead the nominations this year with 10 each, as do Morgan Wallen and Post Malone.
In addition to handing out prizes throughout the night, the iHeartRadio Music Awards will feature performances by stars including Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny, GloRilla, Gracie Abrams, Kenny Chesney, Muni Long and Nelly.
