- This is totally, totally Relationship Goals.
- Yeah.
- As a child of several divorces,
I think this is beautiful. - Yeah, I think that's
the sweetest one we've seen.
- Any time I see an old couple, it's goals automatically.
- Really though. - It's like the ultimate goals.
- Those are goals.
- You don't even do that now.
- No. It's true, I don't.
- As you get older, as life kind of wears on you,
as health problems arise, things like that,
still staying strong and still being able to have that youthful,
fun-loving connection is the greatest goal of all.
- Yeah.
- "Honey, I'm pregnant. It's yours."

- She actually pranked me with a positive pregnancy test...
- As a joke, because I thought he didn't want to have kids.
- I didn't know I wanted to have kids.
- Until that moment. - And then I started crying from happiness.
But... - And then we had a baby.
- Yeah. It gave me that fire.
- Relationship Goals, yes.
- Goals. - That's goals.
- Goals.
- Yeah, I think that's goals. I mean-- - I guess.
- I think this is hilarious.
- This is cute. - I love funny things.
- We can relate. - Yeah. It's also just so dumb.
- Yeah. - So it's goals.
- I'm going goals.
- This is not goals. This is cute. This is very cute...
- Don't listen to him. It's goals. - ...but not goals.
- It's goals.
Love lasts a long time. Humor far longer.
- Yeah. - Right? The reason we get along so much
is we hate most of the same people,
and we can make each other laugh.
Of course there's love in a lot of other stuff.

Parenting goals. Pregnant goals. Dance goals. Everything goals.
- (FBE) So here's the aftermath of that last video.
- Ohh. - Aww.
- Oh. - Aww.
- There you go. - Aw, that's so cute.
- That is so sweet. - That's really cute.
- I love it. So cute.
- Are you gonna cry?
- Yeah, no. - (whispering) Cry.
- (FBE) So for you guys, is that last picture
a relationship goal for you?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- I think... someday. - It is.
- Yeah. Right? - Yeah.
- Yeah. - Oh, in the future.
- Yeah. Not now. - Give him some years.
- Not right now.
- Yeah. - That was adorable.
- I think it's Relationship Goals for everyone.
That one's pretty universal.
- Oh yeah. - Yes.
- A million times, yeah. Best thing. - Yeah. Best thing ever.
- When you have a baby, that's a long-term commitment.
That's saying that, "You are so important to me
that I want to
raise another human being with you."
- I'm gonna say goals but not necessarily ours.
- Since when do we not want to have babies?
- Yet. (quiet snickering)
That was fun. That was really fun.
♪ (dramatic chord) ♪
- (FBE) Okay. So as a couple,
can you talk about how you choose what to share
and what not to share with the public
and how you find that balance? - Hmm.
- Well, actually, for the first year that we were dating,
our relationship was very private.
- You weren't out yet at the time. - Right.
- So I think it made it really difficult for us.
- We share things that are sweet and nice in our life genuinely
but, you know, maybe not the uncomfortable parts.
- We mutually agree on most things.
And then there's sometimes that little thing where I'm like,
"No no no no, this is just for me." - Yeah.
- We have a rule, which is,
"We'll always keep something for us from our relationship."
So for example, we've never kissed on camera.
That is something that will always be ours.
- I'm okay with it, because we show the good and the bad.
- Yes.
Whatever you're seeing online,
understand that there is a completely different aspect
that's not being shown. - Yeah.
- Right? - But I think it's good to strive for
a realistic relationship. - Yes.
- There is a lot that you don't see behind the scenes,
and most of our time is obviously spent off camera
just being business partners and working together
and stuff like that.
Just because you see one thing as Relationship Goals
doesn't mean that that's what that looks like for you.
And I think it looks very different for everybody.
- Usually it just comes under, is it cute and/or funny?
- Yeah. - And that's it.
- It's a tree decision, you know? Cute...
- It is a tree. It branches out. - Is it cute?
- It's a flowchart, if you will. - Yeah, flowchart. Yeah.
You know all about those. - I do, yeah yeah yeah.
(both chuckle)
- ♪ Flowcharts ♪
♪ Flowcharts are the best ♪
- (FBE) Finally, what do you think about the fact
that your relationship could be someone's Relationship Goals,
since you are a couple online? - I think it's sweet.
I mean, I would've loved to have that as a kid,
like, to see two gay men in love.
- I think it's cool if it's true. - It is cool.
But it's crazy to think that, like-- - Oh, yeah.
'Cause we're winging it. - And we just feel like normal.
- It's cool that they look at us and they see
what they want in their relationship.
- As long as we show a healthy relationship,
we are proud of we are showing.
Then it's great that it's goals for other people.
- I'm flattered that people see us as Relationship Goals.
There's a responsibility there too, I think,
to be very open about the realities of being in a relationship.
- I would tell people to always go
and find the perfect relationship for them,
because it's going to look totally unique.
And that's exactly the way it should be.
