Famous couple Jamie Dornan and his celebrity love Amelia Warner are working out a way to support each other, even when it’s uncomfortable. What are some ways to support your partner from afar?

If you watched the season 19 premiere of The Bachelor last night, you know that Chris Soules is in for quite a ride. The Arlington, Iowa native clearly has his hands full with this group of women! After getting booted by Andi Dorfman, there’s no telling which dynamic lady will steal his heart — and when we say dynamic, we mean it. His contestants range from a ballet instructor and a flight attendant (a profession that hasn’t reigned superior in Bachelor past) to a WWE Diva-in-Training and a former NFL Cheerleader. Some are hotties with big personalities, while others are more bashful and low-key. And then there’s the girl who depends a little too heavily on the bottle. Of course, they have one thing in common: They all want the same man. Ahh, aren’t you so glad to have season 19 of The Bachelor to start off the new year?

Buying a new car is a lot like falling in love. You search far and wide for the one you believe will stick it out with you. As you look, you find that some are too slow, others too fast, some too flimsy, and others too high-maintenance. Like love, you spend a lot of time and effort picking out the right vehicle, so don’t you want purchasing a new car to be as rewarding as finding your soulmate?

I remember car shopping for the first time without the help of my parents. I was twenty years old, and I enlisted the help of my boyfriend. At every dealership, he checked the tires, bumpers, and features to make sure I was getting the best deal I could get. He even told off a couple of sales people who he felt were trying to fool me.  We found the best fit for me, and you should have seen my #newcarface! It’s safe to say that my choice in a guy has paid off — and now, with the Cars.com contest, up to $25,000 on the car I bought can be paid off too!

Apart from grilling up juicy burgers, Love says his favorite summer tradition is spending time outdoors with his family and playing some catch. When it comes to date night, the chef and his wife like to keep things simple. “I always prefer to cook at home,” he says. “I don’t spend a whole lot of time there because I’m always working, so if I can sit outside in my backyard with a margarita, I’d choose that every time.”
