Even though it's only had two seasons, The Umbrella Academy has established itself as one of TV's most unique superhero shows. It plays with time travel concepts in a fascinating way while focusing on the oftentimes dysfunctional family trying to save the world.
In addition to the family dynamic, the show also explores the romantic relationships between the characters, most of which usually involve at least one of the Hargreaves children. In between trying to stop the apocalypse twice, the characters have had several important romances, varying from terrible to good, even though most were only temporary.
Ben and Jill
Despite originally wanting to return to San Francisco after being transported with Klaus to 1963, Ben starts to have feelings for Jill, a member of Destiny's Children, upon arriving in the past.
After a lot of begging, Ben convinces Klaus to let himself be possessed so that he can talk to Jill. The two end up spending most of the day together and end up kissing before being interrupted by Diego, who tells them of Five's plan to return to the future. Unfortunately, because they leave the cult behind so abruptly, Ben never gets a chance to tell Jill who he really is before his death.
Diego and Patch
Eudora Patch is Diego's partner at the police academy before he gets kicked out. Afterward, the two start a relationship that ends for an unknown reason. They begin to work together again when Patch, now a detective, catches Diego leaving an investigation at Griddy's Doughnuts after it's attacked. Ignoring her pleas for him to stay out of it, Diego continues to interfere with the investigation.
After the death of his mother, Diego goes to Patch and she comforts him, knowing how close the two were. Sadly, Patch is killed by Cha-Cha after finding Klaus, who had been kidnapped, and helping him escape before Diego arrives late to find her bleeding out. After mourning Patch, Diego begins to hunt down Cha-Cha and Hazel to avenge her death.
