Are you in a relationship?
"Relationship" is a single and a simple word that can also be very complicated, especially when it comes to an intimate and emotional relationship with your significant other. While relationships might already be complicated, relationships can even be more complicated and sometimes even difficult when it is mixed with publicity. That is why celebrities want to keep their relationships as a secret and as private as possible.
Celebrities are always followed by positive and negative publicity. Paparazzi, simple reporters, and fans dig almost every detail out of their own personal lives. As a result, their lives will remain to be an open book full of issues, gossip, and controversy. One of the public's favorite topics is celebrities' relationship statuses.
When does a relationship become difficult and complicated? Sometimes, when their relationships are out in the public, celebrities will receive unsolicited advice. These issues and rumors will heighten some simple problems going on with the relationship. Just like you, when other people – families and friends – are involved in your relationship, giving too much advice, your relationship is at risk because your sense of better judgment will be affected by the people around you.
To prevent unwanted situations that can harm their relationships, celebrities tend to keep their dating life a secret as long as possible and just announce their relationship after few months or years. There are celebrities who are able to keep their relationship very private for months and even for years.
Find out the celebrities who are able to hide (or hid) their relationships for years before breaking it out to the public from Dakota Johnson to Taylor Swift.
