I think this has already been discussed but
I don’t get vibes, like others have said on here, that they’re really a couple.
But if it was an ‘arrangement’ what would be the purpose?
Actual Hollywood A Listers are involved in arrangements for many reasons. To hide their true sexuality. To broaden their appeal with a certain market. To promote themselves as a couple and make ££££.
But MK and MW haven’t done any of these things - I’d say they were of similar standing, celebrity wise, with neither using the other to further a career. So what’s the deal there? Are they legit? I’m baffled
The story that always does the rounds in media offices is that their management have drummed into them that they are more valuable as a pair. Which always struck me as odd, as they haven't advertised anything or got any brand partnerships as a couple, like say... Frankie and Wayne Bridge or Marvin and Rochelle Humes.
It's mainly from the Wrights side - there was a big hoo har when Michelle wouldn't change her surname professionally. The management thought if he could stick around on Extra in the states that Michelle could get some castings out there, but it didn't come off.
I do know that they (the management) have touted an 'at home with...' reality show - mainly about Mark, but Michelle would be a dangled as a background character (she wants nothing to do with reality TV as it harms her acting brand). The show got no traction at all. They tried for a documentary about the house build, but it is such an open secret that it is a 'flipper' and will be sold as soon as its finished (if it ever is!) that again nobody will touch it. The only thing they've gotten any bites on is his documentary about football which is currently on hold and if it doesnt get a production date by the end of November will most probably be shelved as it's content is already around 8 months old.
Basically the 'couple' stuff is all led by Marks side. The only thing Michelle really gets out of it is preferential coverage / paps from MailOnline etc. He has always always been desperate to maximise them as a pair - he wanted her involved in TrainWright for example. I think she knows everything he does tends to go to
tit, so keeps herself separate to protect whatever reputation she has left.
They live VERY separate lives day to day, and it's been 'just a matter of time' before the officially separate, but COVID fucked it all up.
