[that wine!](http://time.com/3995895/connie-britton-amy-schumer-friday-night-lights-late-night/?iid=sr-link3)) and the series’s moral center Coach Taylor has come to be regarded as one of the most ideal depictions of a real-life partnership in television, as the loving duo managed to weather the storms of career challenges, parenthood, and plenty of drama. Ten years later (and [five years after saying goodbye](http://time.com/4366664/friday-night-lights-reunions-minka-kelly/?iid=sr-link1) to their Dillon, Texas set), stars Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler have both moved on to new roles in separate series (_Nashville_ and [_Bloodline_](http://time.com/3735985/kyle-chandler-netflix-bloodline-friday-night-lights/?iid=sr-link8), respectively). But their bond remains just as strong as ever. Before the Emmy’s on Sunday, Britton shared a thoughtful birthday shoutout to Emmy-nominated Chandler — even throwing in a “clear hearts, full eyes” comment in the caption. But the kicker was an adorably blurry selfie the two took together at the big event, both unable to contain their grins — and clearly still sharing just as much friendly chemistry as ever before. Naturally, _Friday Night Lights_ fans were thrilled to see that the two still embody the ultimate in couple goals. Texas — and Tami and Coach Taylor — forever. > [](https://twitter.com/emiliewolfe%5F/status/777940860054843392) > [](https://twitter.com/samhighfill/status/777880388060471296) > [](https://twitter.com/TVMcGee/status/777683245383184386) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4500346/friday-night-lights-reunion-connie-briton-kyle-chandler/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4500346/friday-night-lights-reunion-connie-briton-kyle-chandler/"},"headline":"Ten Years Later, Friday Night Lights' Perfect Couple Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler Are Still Marriage #Goals","datePublished":"2016-09-19T20:57:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:36:44.470Z","description":"People are thrilled to see this embodiment of couple goals reunion","url":"https://time.com/4500346/friday-night-lights-reunion-connie-briton-kyle-chandler/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Television","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4500346/friday-night-lights-reunion-connie-briton-kyle-chandler/","name":"Ten Years Later, Friday Night Lights' Perfect Couple Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler Are Still Marriage #Goals"}}]}] ```
