Who is Mickey Mouse's girlfriend?

The story behind the answer

Mickey Mouse’s girlfriend is Minnie Mouse.

Minnie Mouse is Mickey’s longtime sweetheart and one of the foundational characters in the Disney universe. She is an anthropomorphic mouse commonly shown wearing a bow, dress, bloomers, and low-heeled shoes. Her full name is Minerva Mouse, although “Minnie” is the name used almost universally in stories, films, comics, and theme-park appearances.

Minnie was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks and debuted alongside Mickey in the 1928 cartoon Steamboat Willie. Her relationship with Mickey has remained a recurring feature for nearly a century, although different stories sometimes portray their romance playfully rather than as a strictly continuous relationship.

Minnie is also closely associated with Daisy Duck and Clarabelle Cow. Daisy is Donald Duck’s girlfriend, not Mickey’s, while Clarabelle is Minnie’s friend rather than her romantic rival. Mortimer Mouse is another common source of confusion because he was almost the name chosen for Mickey and later appeared as a character who sometimes competes for Minnie’s attention.

Minnie received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018, recognizing her enduring place in popular culture.
