In 2017, ''My Little Pony'' received its first same-sex couple in the form of {{IDW|Aunt Lofty}} and {{IDW|Aunt Holiday}}, the loving aunts of {{IDW|Scootaloo}}. These characters were later brought into the cartoon canon debuting in "[[The Last Crusade]]" in which they were the driving force as to why Scootaloo got to stay in Ponyville. Though their comic counterparts were never technically confirmed, they were quite romantic with each other and it was written in the ''[[Ponyville Mysteries]]'' novels, which the comics were sequels to, that they kissed each other, essentially confirming they were in love.
In [[2018]], ''[[Equestria Girls: Rollercoaster of Friendship]]'' was released, and was originally set to feature a romantic relationship between {{EQG|Rarity}} and {{EQG|Applejack}}, but it was eventually dropped. This was referenced in the next two ''[[Equestria Girls]]'' specials, ''[[Equestria Girls: Spring Breakdown]]'' and ''[[Equestria Girls: Sunset Shimmer's Backstage Pass]]'' in which Rarity fell for a young man named [[Ragamuffin]] and Applejack fell for a musician named [[Dirk Thistleweed]], both of whom resembled the other strongly.
On {{D|Sep|9|2019}}, [[Sunset Shimmer]] was confirmed to be bisexual by [[Katrina Hadley]], who thought it was "pretty obvious".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://twitter.com/isitlunchyet_t/status/1176912630914506753 |title=FYI Sunset is bi.

Although not confirmed, [[Wiz Kid]] and [[Curly Winds]] were shown to display behavior towards each other that seemed romantic in nature, such as blushing in each others presence,<ref>''[[Equestria Girls: Holidays Unwrapped]]''</ref> holding hands,<ref>''[[Equestria Girls: Rollercoaster of Friendship]]''</ref> cuddling{{confirm}} and gazing into each others eyes romantically.{{confirm}} Interestingly, the two appear to be good friends with {{EQG|Lyra Heartstrings}} and {{EQG|Bon Bon}}, whose pony counterparts were confirmed to be married in "[[The Last Problem]]".
