Kelly Rowland shines in Prime Video’s latest rom-com, "Relationship Goals". Rowland plays Leah Caldwell, who is about to make history as the first woman to run New York’s top morning show.

As her tight-knit circle of friends dives into the same life-changing book, they all begin to rediscover their real purpose in love.

Prime Video

With themes of faith, courage, hope, and forgiveness, the film is produced by DeVon Franklin and is based on the best-selling book by pastor Michael Todd, Relationship Goals: How to Win at Dating, Marriage. The film, which can easily be dismissed as a silly rom-com we've seen many times before, is about realizing that sometimes we stand in the way of our own happiness. Modern single women are strong, self-aware, and capable. They've done the work. They've built careers, survived disappointments, and learned to be independent. For many single women, the greatest obstacle to love isn't the lack of options, bad timing, or even past heartbreaks. Often, the real barrier is far quieter and far closer: the invisible ways we stand in our own way.

This isn't about blame. It's about awareness... and freedom.

Leah, like many single women, believe they must become a flawless version of themselves and expect the same in a partner before love is allowed to arrive. More confident. More accomplished. Less triggered. Less messy. They don't even realize what they're doing: blocking their own happiness.

When you stop standing in your own way and let go of fear, comparison, and unrealistic expectations, you create space for happiness to meet you exactly where you are. Happiness doesn’t arrive as a dramatic moment. It arrives when you finally move aside and let it in.

"Relationship Goals" is the sweet Valentine's Day film that arrived early, reminding us that love doesn't wait for perfection. It grows in the presence of honesty.

Relationship Goals is now streaming on Prime Video.
