Romance has always been a hot topic in gaming, and it's fun to speculate which characters in our favourite titles would make a great couple. As with many RPGs, there are a ton of Genshin Impact ships and speculation about potential couples going around the internet, with many people loving the discourse.

While there isn't a lot of evidence to support the theory that anyone in the game is actually dating quite yet, likely because many of them are still teenagers, some of the character's dialogue does point us towards potential couplings.

Updated by Helen Ashcroft on June 7, 2022: The world of Teyvat continues to expand and as it does, we are introduced to more new characters as well as the backstory of many existing ones. Thanks to features like hangouts and story quests we know more about Genshin Impact's characters than ever before. This means that speculation about Genshin Impact couples is at an all-time high. As such, we've updated this list to reflect our favourite Genshin ships.

8 Sucrose And Albedo - Albecrose

Albedo and Sucrose

One of the most popular couples in the game is Sucrose and Albedo. They are both a part of the Knights of Favonius and love nothing more than to spend their time researching alchemy. They are both introverts and tend to both keep to themselves, unless they are around each other - usually when they are working together on research.

Sucrose also seems to admire Albedo a lot and understands his need to be alone from time to time. The understanding between this pair is something we can get on board with.

7 Xiao and Venti - Xiaoven

Xiao and Venti

While at first glance these two seem a contrasting pair, Xiao often seems to go to visit Venti as it is mentioned that he appears on nights when Venti plays his flute. Xiao was also saved by Venti's song when he was on the verge of dying due to his karma build-up. Many players note that in Xiao's voice line about Venti, he seems incredibly guarded. Interestingly Xiao's name card also mentions that he wants to dance in the flowers to the sound of Venti's flute.

Both characters may appear as young adults/teens, but they are actually over 2,000 years old, having both faced a number of traumatic events during their long lives. An Archon and an Adeptus are also likely to share a bond of understanding that not many would and the pairs actions and interactions show a mutual respect that a relationship could be built on.

6 Jean And Diluc - Jeanluc

Jean And Diluc

Jean and Diluc are probably one of the relationships closest to actually happening in the game. The two know each other very well, having worked together for a number of years, and Diluc admits to having great respect for Jean. It's also revealed that as kids, they both had pet tortoises, and many players think they grew up close.

Even through his disdain for The Knights of Favonius Diluc maintains his admiration towards her. He even allows the Knights of Favonius to throw a party for her at his bar, with free drinks to help her relax. This shows him putting aside his very deep grudge in order to ensure Jean has a much-deserved break.

5 Ningguang and Beidou - Beiguang

Ningguang and Beidou

One of the few people that Ningguang has a lot of respect for is Beidou. In fact, the two have a secret business agreement and tend to get together from time to time. Beidou is the only person who can beat Ningguang at games and seems to be just as interested in Liyue as she is. They have also praised each other in the presence of Traveler.

The two sadly haven't been shown interacting privately, but many players think that they drop formalities, especially given some of the banter between them. The most memorable of which is Ningguang saying, "Payment is one aspect of it. But I also compensate her in other ways... Hehe, let's just say it's a little complicated."

4 Barbara and Bennett - Barbennett

Barbara and Bennett

Barbara is one of the sweetest characters in the game, and poor Bennett is the unluckiest. When Bennett goes out adventuring, he almost always gets hurt and when he does, he heads to the church where Barbara is always waiting to help patch him up. She worries about him a lot and there's a very caring dynamic between the pair.

Bennett always goes to Barbara's concerts, and speaks highly of her skill as an artist. Barbara spends a lot of time worrying about Bennett's safety and wants him to stay safe. This is a cute pairing we can get behind in the future.

3 Xingqiu and Chongyun - Xingyun

Xingqiu and Chongyun

Xingqiu and Chongyun are two characters with a very close friendship, a bromance if you will. The pair spend tons of their free time together, are always shown in promotional material together, and think very fondly of each other. Even Xiangling comments on how the two are quite interesting when together.

Xingqiu does seem to like to prank Chongyun a lot, but the two always seem to make up instantly. They continue to get up to all kinds of mischief together. This is a friendship we'd be on board with developing into something more in the future.

2 Kaeya and Lisa - Kaelisa

Kaeya are another pair who work closely together for the Knights of Favonius. Kaeya is the cavalry captain, while Lisa oversees the library. Kaeya frequently displays respect and admiration of Lisa and her dedication to her role and to Mondstadt itself. We also learn that they like to drink together outside of work.

This relationship is often viewed as platonic but other believe there is a spark there. Lisa is a massive flirt and Kaeya is a lover of attention. Both are outgoing, love to have fun and would likely enjoy their time together, whatever form it took.

1 Eula and Amber - Eulamber

Genshin Impact Eula and Amber in a field by a lake

Eula and Amber are both part of the Knights of Favonius but Eula is viewed with suspicion by many. Due to her heritage as a descendent of the Lawrence clan, historical oppressors of Mondstadt, she is often misunderstood. She wishes to attone for her families deeds, but others don't see it that way. Amber however is different.

Amber has always seen the good in people and there's a lot of good in Eula. There is a trust between the pair that Eula doesn't share with anyone else. Amber is kind and loyal as a friend but many wish this relationship would move to a romantic level in the future.
