The Best Love Stories On This Is Us - Looper

Of course, Jack and Rebecca's story made it onto a list of the show's best love stories — it's an obvious (and necessary) inclusion. After all, the entire show hinges on their relationship. If they had never fallen in love, there would be no Big Three Pearson siblings. However, regardless of its impact on the greater narrative, Jack and Rebecca's story is truly one for the ages.

After a chance meeting in a bar where Rebecca is performing, the two fall head over heels for each other instantly. After just one real date together, the pair embarks on a cross-country road trip to Los Angeles, where Rebecca is set to meet with a music executive. Throughout the years, after the two are married, we see them raise their children together and stay happily married until Jack's death. Adding to the poignancy of their relationship, their marriage is not a perfect one. At one point, after a major blowout, Jack even moves out temporarily, causing the kids to worry that their parents might get a divorce.

Thankfully, Jack and Rebecca work it out and spend the rest of their time together happily. This, however, only makes it all the more heartbreaking to watch Rebecca find out that her husband has died of a heart complication following the house fire. In the following years though, Rebecca is able to move on from her grief, while still holding on to the decades she spent with Jack.
