Which noun(s)... (sweetheart)

Dear Teachers,

What noun can you use when you want to refer to someone’s partner (boyfriend or girlfriend), a noun which can mean women and men as well and also implies that this person is very precious and important for you? Could you help me, please? Thanks.

Significant other (for un-married people) used to be popular, but I don't hear it much any more. Partner seems to be the current term.
