Fun fact! Jess and Jack are now the longest lasting couple in the story!!
Now that Sophie and Elliot are fully over and have been for nearly a year in the story time, they have taken their winning spot!
I think it's so cute because if you think about it their relationship did not start as one you would expect to last. They were both into messing around and enjoying the single life and Jess was also fully involved in the gang.
She got criticised so much by the gang when she first got with Jack but they both stuck it out and have managed to work through everything.
I think the game changer for them was when Ellie was born. Before then I never saw them as lasting, I thought it would just be a fling. However, after they had Ellie their relationship and love for each other seemed to grow stronger. It's not even about them staying together because of Ellie. I think they stayed together because they have this intense amount of love for one another that was just made stronger when they had their first child together.
Everything about their relationship is absolute goals and also their family life. I love how they take it all so casually and don't try and be perfect at it. They are young parents so are obviously going to see/do things differently to what older parents would do but I think that is what makes their family so amazing.
I also love how their relationship isn't simply romance and a ring on the finger to signal marriage. Instead they are a team and have each others back and work together through everything.
It's like they have their best friend by their side through every struggle and issue that gets thrown at them in life and I absolutely love that. I think this is something that distinguishes them from all the other relationships in the story. It pulls them away from being in a relationship just simply for passion or practicality and adds the best friend aspect with the unconditional love.
I definitely envision them being the kind of couple that stays together until they are old and also being that couple that still loves one another intensely even when they have been together for an insane amount of time.
