Canon

Shrek 1

Shrek and Fiona meet through Lord Farquaad's mission to Shrek. Farquaad wants his knights to rescue Fiona from the tower she's trapped in and from the dragon's keep where she's locked, and bring her back to him so he can marry her. When he sees Shrek, he demands his knights dispose of him. Unfortunately for them, Shrek can handle himself in a fight and with a little help from Donkey, he takes down all the knights with ease. Impressed, Farquaad agrees to clear the creatures from Shrek's swamp, but only if he retrieves Fiona for him.

After a long journey, Shrek and Donkey manage to take Fiona out of the tower. She's excited to meet the knight that "rescued" her, thinking it's a prince from a fairy tale. But she's shocked to learn that Shrek is an ogre. On the way back to Duloc, Shrek is also shocked to learn that Fiona isn't like the fairy tale princess he was expecting, and she leaves him speechless with her martial arts skills as she beats Robin Hood and his men to a pulp.

Fiona and Shrek begin to connect on a deeper level, but he worries that she could never love someone as ugly as him. What he doesn't know is that Fiona herself transforms into an ogre every night as her curse, and it's why she was locked up in the tower in the first place. Donkey discovers her secret but is forbidden from telling Shrek because she doesn't think he'll like her in her ogre form.

When Shrek overhears Fiona talking to Donkey about someone being ugly and unworthy of love, he assumes she's talking about him. Farquaad and his men arrive soon thereafter to take Fiona to the castle for the wedding, and when she and Shrek part, they each mistakenly believe they're hated by the other. Unable to see them torn apart like this, Donkey reveals the secret of Fiona's curse and persuades Shrek to go get her back.

With the help of Dragon, Shrek and Donkey make it to the wedding. Shrek storms in and stops the proceedings, confessing his feelings to Fiona, and the two kiss. The princess assumes this act would break her curse and return her to human form, so she's shocked to discover that she's still an ogre afterward, because she took her true love's form, in this case, Shrek's. Though she's initially repulsed by her new permanent appearance, Shrek tells her she still looks beautiful, and the two end up getting married, with all their friends at the celebration.

Shrek 2

Since Prince Charming was supposed to be the one to save Fiona from her tower, when he arrives at the keep too late, he is surprised to discover that she's already been taken out of the tower and is currently on her honeymoon with Shrek. Meanwhile, Shrek and Fiona are living it up on their trip, before returning home to the swamp. Shortly after, representatives from the land of Far Far Away, Fiona's home, arrive to invite her back to the kingdom for a celebratory ball in honor of her rescue and marriage. Although Fiona is excited by the prospect of seeing her parents again, Shrek isn't so keen. He knows all too well what will happen when the king and queen see that their daughter has married an ogre. Still, to make his wife happy, he agrees to go.

The land of Far Far Away is basically a spoof of Hollywood, and Fiona is essentially a celebrity there. However, her and Shrek's initially warm reception turns to ice when King Harold and Queen Lillian, Fiona's parents, see that their daughter and her husband are both ogres. Since Harold made a deal with the Fairy Godmother to let Prince Charming (who is her son) marry Fiona. Since that didn't happen, she threatens Harold with severe punishments and demands that he make the situation right. Harold seeks the help of an assassin in the form of Puss in Boots, a lethal cat with a big heart who quickly becomes one of Shrek's friends. After his attempt to clear things up with Fiona only leads to more arguing, Shrek realizes he needs the help of the Fairy Godmother for a "Happily Ever After" potion. Unfortunately for him, she refuses, stating that there's no room for ogres in Happily Ever Afters.

Shrek, Donkey and Puss decide to steal the potion instead. Upon drinking it, Shrek and Fiona are turned into humans. So Shrek and his friends rush back to the city to meet with Fiona, but Charming has already beaten them there and begins masquerading as Shrek. Fiona has her doubts, but she goes along with it. Fairy Godmother then gaslights Shrek into thinking that Fiona will be better off without him, and he leaves with Donkey and Puss.

Drowning his sorrows at the local watering hole, The Poison Apple, Shrek overhears Fairy Godmother giving King Harold a strange potion. He learns that the concoction will make Fiona ignore her doubts and fall in love with the first person she kisses, who Fairy Godmother expects will be her son. Realizing the deception Charming has pulled, Shrek and his friends spring into action, but they're arrested and locked in a dungeon just as the royal ball is about to begin. Harold is then shown putting the potion in some tea that he shares with Fiona.

Luckily, Shrek's other friends see everything unfold on TV back at the swamp. They swoop in just in time to save Shrek, Donkey, and Puss, and to construct an enormous gingerbread man to help them storm the castle. The team breaks into the ball just as Fiona and Charming kiss. However, she ends up slugging him instead of falling in love. It turns out that Harold never gave her the potion, leading to a big battle where Fairy Godmother and Charming are defeated and Harold is turned back into his original form of a frog. Fiona allows herself and Shrek to transform back into ogres because she wants to return to the happy life the two enjoyed before, sharing a passionate kiss. With the approval of Harold and Lillian, Shrek and Fiona properly reunite.

Shrek the Third

Since King Harold is very ill, Shrek and Fiona take over the royal duties, but the two of them (though mostly Shrek) are struggling. Shrek can't wait until they can finally go back to the swamp and live their normal lives again. Meanwhile, Fiona is curiously very interested in all things baby-related, asking Shrek about what he might think of one day having kids, something Shrek doesn't seem to be excited about, at all. On his deathbed, Harold tries to name Shrek as his successor, but when the ogre declines, he mentions a nephew named Arthur. Thrilled at the idea of not having to be king, Shrek decides he'll go on a journey to find Arthur and bring him back.

Before leaving on his quest, Shrek discovers that Fiona's pregnant and that he's going to be a father, something that seems to terrify him instead of making him happy. While Shrek is away, Prince Charming has taken over Far Far Away and locks up Fiona and her mother, alongside some of Fiona's friends. Shrek and his friends team up to fight Prince Charming and assure he will never become king. As Shrek takes Prince Charming away, he tells him to keep looking for his own "happy ever after," because he's not giving up his, looking at Fiona. And later, as Shrek praises Arthur, telling Fiona that he thinks he will be a great king, Fiona says he would've also been a good king. Placing his hand on Fiona's belly, Shrek says that he has "something way more important in mind."

Children

Farkle, Fergus, and Felicia

Farkle, Fergus, and Felicia are triplets. At first, Fiona was very excited to start a family with Shrek, but he seemed very hesitant about it and didn't really want it yet. So when Fiona reveals she's pregnant in Shrek the Third, Shrek is terrified. He even has a nightmare where children overwhelm him so much that they flood his swamp. He's so afraid of becoming a father, that he even sees it manifested in Merlin's fire, where the person's biggest fears were said to be manifested. However, after his adventure with Arthur, he realized just how important his family is, and returned to Fiona with excitement for their future with their kids, together.
