A total of 2,952 athletes have traveled from across the world to compete in the 2018 Winter Olympics. A handful of those athletes just so happen to be in love. These are the kinds of partnerships that give a whole new meaning to the term "relationship goals."
Here are 19 couples — some married, some dating — who are competing together in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
American figure skaters Alexa Scimeca Knierim and Chris Knierim have been married since 2016.
The pair spoke about their relationship in a January interview with NBC.
"It's our sole purpose to create a story when we're on the ice ... and if the audience is truly believing that these two [skaters] are in love with one another, then that's a sign that that team is really good at emoting.," Scimeca Knierim said. "Chris and I are just fortunate that we're not acting when we're out there. It's true love for us."

US ice dancers Madison Chock and Evan Bates are competing in their second Olympics together.
In an interview with NBC last year, Chock explained that she and Bates have known each other for years. In fact, they even went on a few dates as teenagers — but they didn't fall in love and start officially dating until late 2016, they told NBC.
American snowboarder Jamie Anderson is dating Canadian snowboarder Tyler Nicholson.
