TV boyfriend

From TeeVeePedia, the Internet TV Encyclopedia.

A TV boyfriend is a fictional or unattainable television character or personality romantically idolized by a fangirl in lieu of an actual relationship with the sort of imperfect slobs the real world has to offer.

Jon Stewart is America's leading TV boyfriend, followed by James Marsters of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Emmanuel Lewis, Patrick Dempsey of Grey's Anatomy and K.I.T.T.
