* Edward and Winry in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' may take the long route to get around to admitting their feelings to each other, but Ed is shown to have wanted to marry her since they were small children, and [[SingleTargetSexuality never displays interest in being with anyone else]] ; once Winry realizes how she feels about him, she never looks back. [[spoiler:The series ends with a photograph of them as a married couple with kids.]]

* The BigBad of ''[[Fanfic/{{Cinderjuice}} The Bug Princess]]'' mockingly uses this exact term for the relationship between the leads. He's trying to rattle BJ's cage, but at the same time, he's right.



* ''Film/SleeplessInSeattle'': Lampshaded by Annie in one scene who says it is usually invoked as means of explaining all the romantic accidents. Played straight when she later goes along with the idea that Sam is the one anyway.

* Bella and Edward in ''{{Twilight}}'' are repeatedly stated to be this, giving or attempting to sacrifice everything for the sake of each other. In their universe, it is deliberately invoked by the werewolves, who bond to a single soulmate for whom they always love.

Upon declaring her love for [[spoiler:previously fake-boyfriend Peeta]] Katniss states that the two of them ending up together "would have happened anyway", implying that she believes they would have fallen in love even if [[spoiler:they hadn't been in the Hunger Games together]].

* Stefan and Elena from Series/TheVampireDiaries fit this trope. The producers of the series, Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec, have said in so many words that Stefan and Elena's romance or relationship is the true epic love story of the show (despite the show or plot being about a love triangle), they are anchor of the series, they are soul mates and that Stefan and Elena are each others' one true love (much to the dismay of Damon and Elena fans).

* ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'': The final episode of the series reveals "soul stones", where everyone has one on the North Star, and those that fit together are soul mates. [[spoiler:Sabrina stops her wedding with Aaron after she finds that their soul stones don't fit, and walks away from the altar--only to run into Harvey. They kiss and ride off as their soul stones fall together and fit ''perfectly'']].
* ''Series/DoctorWho'' has featured several characters who are depicted in the series as approximating this. The series, however follows TheILoveYouStigma which had made it a matter of debate whether or not romance--or love beyond platonic--truly exists between the Doctor and certain exceptional companions. Given the show's longevity, and the fact the lead character, The Doctor, is thousands of year old, there is room for more than one "one true love" to be featured. The original 1963-89 series never went into this issue. The modern-day series (2005-present) has presented three partnerships where this trope is invoked: Rose Tyler, River Song (who the Doctor married), and Clara Oswald (this due to the Doctor's ''extreme'' actions following her death in an effort to undo the tragedy which played out over the course of 4.5 billion years).

* ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'': A bit of a complicated example because Inuyasha's OneTrueLove is Kikyou's soul. Inuyasha and Kikyou were deeply in love and were very close to living out their ideal married life, but this ended tragically when Naraku tricked the two into hating each other. Naraku fatally wounded Kikyou while disguised as Inuyasha, and expected Kikyou to take Inuyasha's life while using the jewel to heal herself. She could not bring herself to perform either out of love for Inuyasha and used her remaining strength to shoot a single sealing arrow to pin him to the Goshinboku tree. Kikyou was full of both bitter hatred and a very strong love towards Inuyasha at the time of her death. The Shikon Jewel became corrupted in response to her hatred while the love granted her a wish to see Iuyasha again. Naraku planned to use the tainted Jewel but Kikyou ordered Kaede to burn it with her body just before her death. Inuyasha and Kikyo's love ''transcended time and space'' as the desire to see Inuyasha again was the wish that the Shikon Jewel used to reincarnate Kikyou as Kagome and therefore reconstitute itself despite Kikyo's conscious decision to destroy the jewel with herself. Kagome becomes Kikyou's successor and although Kikyou was the woman Inuyasha "loved most in all the world", Inuyasha comes to realise that he is destined to be with Kagome (though they are different people, they are also one in the same). [[spoiler:Inuyasha and Kikyou (as Kagome) finally get [[EarnYourHappyEnding to live out their happily married lives together in the end]] like they had first planned those many years ago.]]

However, he was unable to reconcile this with the romantic implications of such a relationship, thanks to his emotionally-stunted childhood, which was deprived of such affection due to his status as the village pariah. [[spoiler:[[LovingAShadow He wanted it to be Sakura, because he saw her love for Sasuke, and being Sasuke's rival, sought that love for himself]]. ''[[Film/Naruto7TheLast The Last]]'', however, makes it clear that the person he's ''really'' been searching for is [[ShrinkingViolet Hinata]], [[ChildhoodFriendRomance who has loved him from afar since childhood]], [[InsecureLoveInterest but was always too shy to get close to him]]. Naruto was never able to notice her [[EveryoneCanSeeIt rather unsubtle]] feelings for him because [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove he has never been able to understand romantic love]]. However, as the events of the movie progress and he finally begins to understand, he gradually comes to realize who the person he's meant to be with is, as he begins also understands his own feelings for her]].
** As WordOfGod said at NYCC very beautifully:
-->'''Masashi Kishimoto:''' ''"I think what made me realize it was partly because, if you really look back and think about it, Hinata always supported and acknowledged Naruto, even before Master Iruka. She had the ability
to fall in love with her]].see beyond his reputation and see the true person inside. I think I started realizing that '''they were meant to be'''."''

* Apollo and Midnighter of ''ComicBook/TheAuthority'' and ''{{Stormwatch}}''. The peculiarities of their comics-verse means that we've seen a great many alternate universe versions of them (PaletteSwap versions, kid heroes, samurais, a golly-gee parody of BlueBeetle and ComicBook/BoosterGold...), and ''all of them'' are joined at the hip.

* ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'': A bit of a complicated example because Inuyasha's OneTrueLove is Kikyou's soul. Inuyasha and Kikyou were deeply in love and were very close to living out their ideal married life, but this ended tragically when Naraku tricked the two into hating each other. Naraku fatally wounded Kikyou while disguised as Inuyasha, and expected Kikyou to take Inuyasha's life while using the jewel to heal herself. She could not bring herself to do so either act out of her love for him and used her remaining strength to shoot a sealing arrow to pin him to the Goshinboku tree. Kikyou was full of both bitter hatred and a very strong love towards Inuyasha at the time of her death. The Shikon Jewel became corrupted in response to her hatred while the love granted her a wish. Naraku planned to use the tainted Jewel but Kikyou ordered Kaede to burn it with her body just before her death. Inuyasha and Kikyo's love ''transcended time and space'' as the desire to see Inuyasha again was the wish that the Shikon Jewel used to reincarnate Kikyou as Kagome and therefore reconstitute itself despite Kikyo's conscious decision to destroy the jewel with herself. Kagome becomes Kikyou's successor and although Kikyou was the woman Inuyasha "loved most in all the world", Inuyasha comes to realise that he is destined to be with Kagome (though they are different people, they are also one in the same). [[spoiler:Inuyasha and Kikyou (as Kagome) finally get [[EarnYourHappyEnding to live out their happily married lives together in the end]] like they had first planned those many years ago.]]
