Kermit the Frog's love interests



Kermit the Frog has famously been in an on-again-off-again romantic relationship with Miss Piggy since The Muppet Show. However, his eye has wandered on occasion, and he has been on the receiving end of the infatuation of others.

Mutual love interests

 * Although Annie Sue primarily sees Kermit as her boss (she calls him “sir”), they featured some light flirting over the course of The Muppet Show. They traded pecks on the cheek at two different moments in episode 302, and, in episode 401, Kermit says “it might be kinda fun to teach a cute little pig to frog-kick.”


 * In episode 523, Linda Ronstadt makes the mistake of revealing her crush on Kermit to Miss Piggy which forces Piggy to lock him up in a trunk. When Linda frees him, Kermit reciprocates the feeling, Linda sings “I've Got a Crush on You”, and Kermit calls her sweetie. This continues throughout the episode, but due to Miss Piggy's interference, the pair agree to shake hands and part. Linda and Kermit are reunited years later on Kermit Unpigged, where she appeals to their past and they sing “All I Have to Do Is Dream”.


 * Lily Tomlin tells Kermit she finds him “very, very attractive” in The Muppets Go to the Movies. Kermit begins to explain that the feeling is mutual until Piggy appears within earshot. Later, they get to act out their feelings playing characters in a war movie sketch where Kermit plays himself as a soldier and Tomlin plays his girlfriend Francine back home, Gloria the Greasemonkey-ess, and a nun who nurses Kermit back to health; all of whom are love interests for Kermit.


 * When the Muppets go their separate ways in The Muppets Take Manhattan, Kermit gets a job at Pete's Luncheonette and becomes close with the owner's daughter, Jenny. She helps him try to sell Manhattan Melodies, they snuggle on sidewalk benches, and go jogging together in the park.


 * For a sketch on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kermit picks up Christina Cindrich in a bar and takes her back to his pad, beating up her boyfriend in the process.


 * Lady Gaga took Kermit as her date to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards where they shared a kiss and became the focus of much media gossip.


 * Previous to the events of the 2015 TV series The Muppets, Kermit begins dating Denise, a pig who works on the staff of the show the Muppets are producing.

In character

 * Andie MacDowell plays her Four Weddings and a Funeral character Carrie opposite Kermit as Charles in Muppets Tonight episode 211 where the pair find themselves together again at yet another wedding. They share a kiss, but their romance doesn't last as Carrie lists all the frogs she's kissed and moves on to the next candidates who are lined up at their table.

Crushes on Kermit

 * In episode 320, a pack of Groupies is initially vying for the attention of guest star Sylvester Stallone. But Scooter later informs Kermit that they're also there to see him. After which, they proceed to smother Kermit (although this appears to mostly be a distraction tactic created by Scooter, the end means of which is to deliver on his paid-for promise to secure some access for the groupies to Stallone).


 * In Muppets Most Wanted, Nadya harbors a major crush on Kermit, to the point of having built a shrine for him in her locker. Her obsession extends to blinding turning an eye to his innocence in order to keep him locked up in the Gulag with her.
