Shrek and Fiona
Green animated spouses
Shrek and Fiona are the main characters of the animated film *Shrek* (2001) and its sequels—an ogre and the princess he rescues, who turns out to be an ogre herself.
The pair has become cultural shorthand for couples who embrace being unconventional or unfashionable together: They're giving Shrek and Fiona.
The reference often carries affection—celebrating love that doesn't need external validation.
