love of one's life
One true partner
The person someone considers their greatest or truest romantic partner—the one who matters most across all relationships: I knew from our first date she was the love of my life.
The phrase implies a singular, irreplaceable bond, often used retrospectively or with deep conviction.
It can also describe non-romantic attachments: Photography became the love of his life.
