Was sent some things that I figured I’d hop on to explain.
When do Hollywood couples use PR ?
Is PR used for celebs in real relationships?
The simple answer is, yes.
Celebrity couples who are starring in a film together, Think Brad and Angelina, Ben and Jen, will often use PR tactics and sightings to gain attention before the film debut .
However, a couple where they are not starring in anything together, nor even apart, is suddenly getting so much press, these are red flags of a “fake” relationship.
Chris and Alba- Neither are starring in a major film right now, and haven’t since going public. Chris is a very private individual, with a very tight circle. In his decades of being in the business, intimate details of his personal life never came into the public. Now suddenly an “Nda wedding” is leaked to blogs beforehand and to tabloids overnight . Not really private is it ? Suddenly articles about everything they do. Everything they do just happens to be papped, when he normally was hunkered down in Mass.
Also, this pair had articles covering almost everything they did. Social media interaction, before it happened. Posts, before they happened. And everything in between. Ask yourself, would a private person and an unknown actress from Portugal really be covered this much about their private life? The answer is no. Do you see other actors being so covered in the press about their spouses ? No you do not. The level of coverage these two have gotten is over the top for “All celebs use PR”. They do and yet they don’t.
Chris has no reason to use his relationship for publicity, especially with the level of negative reception. He never did during marvel era, and one may say “his current films are flops so he did public relationship”- this is very untrue for what people do if they are having a real relationship. The pressure of life and relationships is hard enough with one person in the industry as it is, sharing everything and only being seen by paparazzi when you normally are off the grid is out of character.
Looking upon this even more, you can’t see any natural behavior or interactions between this pair. This doesn’t fall into the “celeb couple doing PR” category. This falls into the “PR celeb couple” category .
I could go on and list all the other aspects of this “relationship” that give away its lack of authenticity, but I do think that’s been done enough and it’s all clearly in everyone’s faces.
To conclude, Chris and Alba have no reason to be “using their relationship for PR” , and he would also never do that, he’s very private. Even more so than other actors. These two are indeed a full PR relationship with no realness about it aside from the real mess it’s made .
