If they are (probably are) together I don’t know how she’s ok with that? It’s not like he was incredibly trustworthy when their relationship was really public and well known so why would you trust him when he’s acting single on Instagram?? To be fair I don’t know how she’s with him at all so I can’t even begin to imagine how their relationship functions at all but I hope they realise this isn’t some cute celeb stunt where they have to go to these great lengths to hide from the paps etc?
if they admit they are or always were together they’re going to look like fools? If it is because brands don’t want her associated with him is that not huge alarm bells in her head? That on a business front he looks bad never mind on a personal one? And surely the way they’ve gone about things has actually done more damage because with all the speculation (and people obviously seeing them/recognising what they’ve posted etc) it’s only drawn more attention to him being dodgy and their relationship being a bit of a joke? Rather than the focus being on her career?
I’m a very private person and a lot of the time any relationships I’ve had have been kept very private but there’s a difference between private and secret and there’s no way in hell I’d want to be someone’s secret? No matter the reason? If a brand said to me we want to work with you but want you to deny you’re in a relationship with your long term boyfriend I’d be A- concerned as to why that is and B- be saying no, this is who I actually am like this is actually my real life??
to me the idea of that is bizarre. In any of my relationships I’ve ever had, people know we’re together but that’s all they know and that’s the way it should have been for Ellie and Conor but instead people knew every tiny detail.
I remember a video Ellie did with Keilidh and Aideen where they talk about their boyfriends in it and Ellie says ‘well you all know too much about my relationship’ or ‘I shared too much about mine before’ or something along those lines where it just seemed to cause her so much hardship.
If they are together then they’ve both for some reason chosen to stick it out. They aren’t celebrities so I can’t understand why they’d be ok with hiding it like your relationship is a fairly sizeable part of your life?? And no one seems to be buying that they’ve broken up and stayed apart so what would be the point? It’s like when they both went to Rome after he’d cheated (IIRC) and wouldn’t say who with but it was so obvious? They aren’t clever enough to pull it off so why bother at all?
