These prompts work best in ChatGPT with the image generation feature turned on. Just paste any prompt directly into the chat and it will generate the image for you.

If you want even more realistic results, try uploading a reference photo of yourself and your partner along with the prompt. ChatGPT can use that reference to make the generated couple look more like you, which makes the final photo feel even more personal and authentic.
