He/She vs. Him/Her

1. She and John lock eyes.

2. No longer would he and she get all the attention.

Are the uses of "he" and "she" right in those examples? Should it be "her" instead of "she"? (In the second example, the actual names are used in the previous sentence before it.)

Thanks.

Yes, the sentences are correct. No, it shouldn’t be him or her . If you ask me, the second sentence sounds awkward.
