We investigate spatial XPM-paired solitons in nonlinear metamaterials (MMs) based on the (1 + 1)-dimensional coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE) describing the co-propagation of two optical beams of different frequencies in the MM with a Kerr-type nonlinear polarization. Three types of XPM-paired solitons including bright-bright, bright-dark and dark-dark solitons for different combination of the signs of refractive index experienced by the two beams, respectively, are obtained by using a generalized hyperbolic function method, which makes the temporal XPM-paired solitons in optical fibers find their spatial counterparts in MMs. Numerical simulations are performed to confirm the theoretical predictions and further identify the propagation properties of the spatial XPM-paired solitons in MMs described by Drude model.
