this whole list could be just full of Taylor Swift's exes and the hit songs that came after. Tom and Katie truly were in love, and yes their relationship did start with the meddling of the Church of Scientology, but it was the Church's heavy involvement in Tom's life that drove a wedge between them. Zac and Vanessa met while auditioning for High School Musical, and the chemistry between them was palpable from the start. Sure Disney may have pushed them to make a move, but the love was real. On the contrary, Disney urged Tom Holland and Zendaya not to become romantically involved at least not until the 3rd Spider-Man movie was finished (when Tom's contract would've been up). Kim's marriage to Kris Humphries was a publicity stunt and the worst part of it was, he actually had feelings for her legitimately and he was duped by the whole Kardashian Empire. a more recent one is, Britney Spears' marriage to Sam Asgari. She just got out of a very public conservatorship and was vulnerable to gold-diggers, while she was trying to take control of her narrative by making her own life choices all while preparing both a best selling memoire and an new album. Sam on the other hand, is a gold digger and went for Britney because she's rich and currently trending because of both her mega-popstar status as well as her legal battle with the conservatorship and her family.
The Kardashians could be the whole list.
Kim, Kendall, Kloé and Kylie maybe. Kourtney is in a better place
@@vanessastegall Her love child with Justin Bieber certainly is in a better place than if his father had mated differently!
Truth!
And Taylor Swift.
Taylor has had 1 pr relationship that's all
What i always find interesting is the fact that Vince Vaughn was in Mr. and Mrs. Smith with brad and angelina. I have always wondered if maybe he reported to Jennifer what those two were up to on the set and was there for her when they broke up. Idk that he would use it to his advantage to get her to go out with him but it makes u think.
Was Jennifer cast first? Maybe she pushed for Vince to be her co star as a favor to a friend she could trust?
Anyone who dated a Kardashian and anyone who dated JLO
Too many people still believe that these celebrity couples are actual couples.
Timothee needs to drop Kylie HARD before she ruins his life
The Kartrashian skank is just another in a long line of beards...women that gay men "date" to perpetuate the illusion that they’re straight. Although rumor has it that her time as one of Timmy’s beards has come to an end. You may have noticed that even before the press tour wrapped for Dune 2, said skank was nowhere to be seen in Timmy’s life anymore. Not that I’m complaining. But did anyone actually believe this "relationship" was anything other than an elaborate publicity stunt to begin with?
Pete Davidson could be a whole list.
At one point I really thought he made it his mission to sleep through all of Hollywood's single female population!
I wish "fans/stans" would understand that film promotions where the co-stars seem flirty/cozy are usually PR. I didn’t even know Theo and Shailene "dated" lol. They were more than likely doing promo/PR for their films. Co-stars can get more buzz and money if they get the public thinking that they are dating. Almost everything in the entertainment industry is to make money and a profit.
Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles. Like that was so fake its almost funny
Before I even watch the list…
1) Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson
Oh, number six. Well, I was close.
Speaking of that, I will be an MJ fan until I die but the video for You Are Not Alone has always been disturbing to me. I don’t _want_ to see a 100-pound guy with his shirt off (*cough* Russell Brand).
People are just saying anything in these comments 😂😂 someone said Heidi Klum and Seal. Another person said Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber 💀 those couples lasted much longer than your typical publicity stunt relationships
But Justin and Selena actually was super fake 😂
@@marlamorales8298 how? They were together on and off for almost 10 years. They both have said how much they were in love with each other. They still have love for each other…
@@marlamorales8298I don't think so it was too messy and long to be a publicity stunt
Taylor lautner and lily collins ... it was when they had to promote a movie..after that wrapped, they "broke up"
I always thought Kim and Kanye were a publicity stunt, until they got married and had 4 kids. I just couldn't picture them as a couple. They seem so different to me. Guess that's why they still seem to be fighting all the time. Or Kim with Pete Davidson. The weird one with Katie Holmes to me was Jamie Foxx. They didn't seem compatible to me. Also Gwen and Blake. They seem like complete opposites.
About Kris and Rob: first they hide their relationship until the end of the saga, and then suddenly they try to prove that relationship was real. Crazy situation :)
Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles - totally phoney to any eyes that can see.
If I remember correctly, Shawn has always had a huge crush on Camilla and still suffers because of their break-up. Why would not their feelings be real? They are young, attractive and attracted to each other. If they were "regular" young people, the genuine nature of their relationship would never be an issue.
I agree. What are both of them not telling their fans and families???
Because his sexuality is clearly not hetero?
then why did they do those dumb walks in homeless people clothes and coffee cups, it was all for the pictures
5 short months ago, Katie & Tom and Zac & Vanessa make the list of Ms Mojo's celebrity couples thought would make it. Now they are a publicity stunt. So which is it Mojo?
Those two aren't mutually exclusive. The relationship can be a publicity stunt and still have people routing for them
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco
To be fair Taylor's whole love life feels like a PR stunt..
Why is Timothy Chalamet dating HER? Doesn’t he know he’s an A-list movie star and he’s way better than that? 😂
Perhaps you’ll recall there was this thing called the actors strike going on last summer that prohibited Timmy from promoting either of his upcoming movies. Therefore, he opted to generate publicity indirectly by keeping his name in the press. What better way to do that than a fake relationship with one of the skanks from the trashiest family in the universe, complete with absolutely cringey, over-the-top PDA entirely intended for public consumption? Yes, your reputation will take a hit, but some people think there’s no such thing as bad publicity. But did you notice that even before the press tour wrapped for Dune 2, said skank was nowhere to be seen in Timmy’s life anymore? Not that I’m complaining. And what do the Kartrashians get out of this? Have you seen the promos for the upcoming season of their show? They appear to believe that they’re now part of the Dune franchise.
There was also a secondary benefit for Timmy out of this. His sexuality has always been hiding in plain sight. And it’s anything but hetero. Believing that he's straight is simply pure, delusional, wishful thinking. Nothing more. I know it’s difficult for some people to see the forest for the trees, but it’s time to wake up and smell the coffee already. The Kartrashian skank is just another in a long line of beards...women that gay men "date" to perpetuate the illusion that they’re straight. Although rumor has it that her time as one of Timmy’s beards has come to an end. Bearding has always been and is still a thing in Hollywood. It obviously benefits the careers of gay actors who want to appeal to a young female fan base. As recently as 2021, Kate Winslet claimed she knows “at least four” gay actors who are afraid of coming out for fear of what it will mean for their careers.
Anyone Pete Davidson has dated alongside Kim Kardashian
Taylor and Tom.. oddest thing to ever happen 😅
What about her and the Kennedy? Supposedly she bought a house right by his. We see it didn't last long.
If TomKat was a publicity stunt, shame on them for having a child. You want to get into a fake relationship for the publicity, that’s you and your partner’s life, business and reputation. Bringing a child in is just cruel.
Whelp. PR Babies are a thing too.
publicity stunt relationships also rarely last that long. I do believe Katie felt something..
true
Not his Kid. And he knew it. That's why the marriage happened so fast and why she disappeared for several months after to even their friends.
@jenniferkeyfrahm oh please! She left to get away from his cult which isn't easy and couldn't risk anyone leaking information to him
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper were SO good together, we WANTED them to be together. but they claimed it was only publicity. since people lie the other direction (saying it's real when it's not), i suppose they could lie and say it wasn't real when it was, but what would be the point?
anyway - i love them together and hope they work together again.
Dude is creepy somethings off with him, I can't put my finger on it, but he's way too plastic
😂 that actually was rude of Kylie, just googled and they're only 2 years apart
Taylor Swift and half the guys she's dated
taylor swifts entire career
What's wrong with dating a cute athlete who towers over you? Sounds good to me 😊
Get ready to add Taylor and Kelce to this list
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
Another publicity stunt which lowkey annoyed me was Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde
I was concerned for Kendall allowing Bad Bunny to get close to her. They broke up. he talked very bad about her.
He spoke truth about her.
The Weeknd and Selena were real and he didn’t deserve that. Watch his Coachella video where he’s crying and singing over their breakup. Went back to Beiber just for him to leave her for Hailey. Mess.
What? No Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce?
Tom Cruise is so freaking weird on Oprah. No winder she ran away from him.
What about Freddy Mercury and his fiance? She lived in the house with him and his boyfriend until he died. Then he left everything to her instead of his boyfriend. Supposedly she's the only one who knows where he was buried.
I think that the concepts of Beards and PR relationships are very different and I don't think they should have included any that could have been considered Beards. In my experience being the Beard there is its own love. There is an emotional connection, kinship, & kind of intimacy. There are also a lot of understandings that many outside the relationship don't know. She may have gotten the money on paper, but who is to say she didn't give some to the partner (maybe she didn't, maybe we do know one way or the other I'm not a Queen fanatic idk the history) however, my point is, I know that A LOT of the time there is a ton that the Beard knows, understands and is okay with that the public wouldn't understand and vice versa. Like with the burial, the partner may know as well and let the public think only she knows. It may be their shared secret. Just like being with him was in a way something they shared (secretly for a while at least). It's a weird and sometimes strained relationship but it can be positive in my experience. She and Freddy might not be a "real relationship" to you in a way you think because it didn't include s3x with each other but if you're going to start dictating what a relationship is because of how much and who the people sleep with then you're going to get into some tricky territory nowadays.
“celebrity relationships that WERE publicity stunts” would be a more apt title
Kanye west 😂 that new marriage is fake
nooo....it's as real as everything on her body
8:05 it so like the Kardashians to use someone else's event (and birthday) for their own publicity. I'd just ban them from coming near me ever.
Kylie Jenner & Timothée Chalamet is the new Taylor Swift & Tom Hiddleston.
Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner
Tom Holland and Zendaya
Timmy and lily rose
@@Jocelyn_Herrick I don’t think so. They started off as close friends bc of the Spider-Man movies. It seems like they started dating after the last Spider-Man movie came out (2021) and are still together…doesn’t seem fake
@@Jocelyn_Herrick Tom, Holland and Zendaya are not publicity stunt.
Idk Katie and Tom were a stunt. However there is a huge difference in being in love with someone and then living and raising a child together. Something made Katie jump ship and only she knows why
Katie and Tom were matched by the cult of Scientology. He was told to marry her, and her father basically "gave" her to him.
@mischarowe I thought her father then was instrumental in helping her get away since he's a lawyer. I'll have to go looking into this, I hadn't heard this before.
@@erinehinger956 I hadn't heard her father had something to do with helping her get away.
If we're both right, maybe he had a change of heart.
Hm. I'm going to look into this too. :)
I think the church of scientology is what made her run.
@@mischaroweKatie’s father is a lawyer. He was the one that helped orchestrate Katie leaving and I imagine was critical in helping her pick her legal team. According to the People article talking about how he helped her, matrimonial law is one of his practices.
What's a Drake? Seriously, I have never heard of that guy before.
He's horrible Drake sucks
Swift and Kelce 🤔
I wonder if Suri is even Tom's kid, the "church" member usually retains custody. Katie must have had a ton of dirt on Tom to escape with her child
Katie's dad is a bulldog of a divorce attorney, that's how. 😄
Kylie jenner is a beard & a cover girl 😆, also shawn & camila
Similar to Zanessa, Dove Cameron and Ryan McCartan.
I can believe that Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston were in love.
Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie were a real couple. Watch Lisa’s interview with Oprah after Michael died. Lisa talked about how they continued to date several years after their divorce.
I've always wondered if there was anything between them or just friendship. Even Priscilla didn't really seem to know anything about until Lisa Marie called to tell her they were married. I think she was in shock.
They were trying to get attention ⁉️🤣😅😂
They’re all fake that’s why 😂 some even have it in their contracts
I think most of Taylor's BFs are PR set-ups. I believe she dates but we are not privy to know who.
I think she’s a lesbian but has too conservative of a fan base to come out. NONE of her BFS have felt right.
@@relaxingnaturesounds2339 LOL!!! Ooooh! That would be rich!!!
Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner should be number one, since it was recently and viral. Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson were pretty cute together.... But it's sad to know that there both dead. Lisa' death was recently and Michael's death was somewhere in the 2000's? Rip to the both of them!
Yeah, the Zanessa thing didn't outlast the HSM trilogy!
I think that the concepts of Beards and PR relationships are very different and I don't think they should have included any Beards. In my experience as the Beard there is its own love, emotional connection, kinship, & kind of intimacy. There are also a lot of understandings that many outside the relationship don't know. These individuals might not have a "real relationship" to some in the way they think because it doesn't include s3x with each other but if you're going to start dictating what a relationship is because of how much and who the people sleep with then you're going to get into some tricky territory nowadays.
Rock Hudson was well-known for using women to appear straight, if he'd been outed back in those days his career in movies would have been over.
Not like Kourtney though, who found "real love" with the fake punk guy 😂
How many more celebrities will weirdo Taylor Swift allegedly date? Oh... I forgot... she needs to write songs. Dear Lord this woman is unbelievably spoiled.
Taylor Swift deserves a separate list of her own.
There is always a jealous person that shows up, when anyone mentions Taylor. Ready to tear her down for anything.
@@sherryelle225 jealous? Why are Swifties so quick to defend her? She is not a little girl, she should be able to handle talk as should her fans.
And it is a valid point. Has she had any relationships that seemed real? That lasted longer than six months?
@@Denis-89 Well, judgy wudgy, I'm not a Swifty. Her music is ok and all but I still don't like the way men are so mysogynistic toward her because she had the gall to get people to register to vote. That is her crime and that's why "conservatives" don't like her. I can name multiple relationships that she's been in and u could too, if only you had access to Google but since we are here: she dated the DJ guy for years, she dated the British actor Joe Alwyn, I believe was his name and as im sure there have been longer more serious relationships I'm not gonna go look because the reason people hate her is bs. They can't stand a strong, independent, successful woman who is southern and Christian but she asked people to register to vote and apparently that's just a crime against humanity somehow.
exactly... Travice kelci will top the list in my opinion... tbh, i like ts songs, i think she has serious song writing talent and also nothing wrong with having a lot of relationships, but what bothers me is that they fake love just for publicity and people crown them as #couplegoals... BS!
@@sherryelle225girl😂 jealousy? I love how y'all Swifties is always say that when it's true that it's a stunt when her whole career and music is about ex's.
Isn't PR baby too much?
the whole shawn camila thing is too fuuny now that we know it was pr... it make sense now...
why do they cover their faces when there's a camera? YOU called them. YOU went where the camera always are.
Timmy and Lily-Rose Depp?
Yup, the fact that she's now in a relationship with a woman she calls the "love of my life" speaks volumes on the nature of her relationship with Timmy.
Finally someone to agree on Zac and Vanessa
They seemed to forget about Kanye West and his new wife Bianca Censori their entire relationship just screams desperate publicity stunt
JHo and BenDover 2.0, 1.5 and 1.
You can add Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise to this list, as well.
harry styles with anyone except louis and vice-versa
Elton John and his wife?
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He didn't have to do that. Bad Bunny even said that he takes back the Sason.
louis and eleanor
No WAY would you have a kid with someone for show
I mean, all the relationships looked real.😅
For me. Its taylor and tom hiddleston.
See, I thought it was an odd pairing but didn’t think either of them had anything to gain from the publicity. I think that one was real even if it didn’t make a lot of sense. Maybe *because* it didn’t make sense?
@@JennA-uf6lo maybe.
Taylor appearing twice on this list. Her relationship with Travis Kelce should be on here too. Its too calculating
It’s the real deal so stop hating
@@vanessastegall sure it is. For the next three months or so. Then they break up, she writes a song about it and gets a new man.
Everything with her is calculating. 😬
@@vanessastegallhow's it hating? MF swifties I swear they get butthurt about anything.
@@Denis-89If it's a publicity stunt I suspect they'll "break-up" next month not long after the Superbowl, unless he stays around for her to get more publicity for her tour. Time will tell.
Just comment Nicole kissing games with taes and girl black dress -golden globa 2024
I’m sure some or maybe even many were publicity stunts but some I think are just megalomaniacs being not that invested.
Micheal Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley are truly Love each other it not a or stunts.
I don't believe theo james and shailene woodley dated. They were just friends.
Ppl who became famous when they married.....especially when it's the 2nd or more marriage of the og celebrity
Baldwins, reality "stars",
I miss Kim's old face.... She's still pretty, but....
Rock Hudson and phyllis gates belong on this list
Makes me wonder what isn’t a publicity stunt nowadays.
Wow, i never thought of my childhoofd couples this way back when i was a kid! What a good top this was, Kirsten. Have a happy friday afternoon and God bless you, take care and greetings from Colombia to you as well.
Taylor Swift & the Kelce brother. When in a real relationship, Taylor keeps it private as possible, not like this publicity seeking ridiculousness.
😮
Lisa Marie/Michael & Katie H and Tom Cruise always seemed like fake pairings. I knew they'd both be high on this list
But if Katie and Tom did it for the publicity should it not have ended faster? 7 years is long for a publicity stunt thing..
I love Sophia Bush and Brooke was my hero back then...but she have 2 marriages less then 1.5 years...
by the way, you forgot Taylor 🤢 and Travis Kelce those two will be ending soon just like her and Tom I don’t know if any relationship of hers has ever been real or just for the cameras… Maybe Strachan maybe… Joe Alwyn was real because she was actually out of the spotlight, which was something I didn’t even know she could do she pretty much needs the spotlight to preserve life.
CANCEL Cringe celebrities
Nicole Richie dated Steve O😮
Is Kylie richer than Timothee ?
You called Bad Bunny a musician? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Shawn and Camila should've been number 1 because everything about that screamed publicity stunt.
No
No they been together and always will be lowkey even as fwb . They will never be over they been together sense teen years so not fake
HIS NAME IS BAD BUNNY NOT GOOD BUNNY SO
You use the word "iconic" too much and incorrectly. If everything is iconic than nothing is.
Any Taylor Swift romance
I hated Selena and the weeknd so glad they were on this list
They were all fake.
It is not a church. It is a cult.
Please tell me Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello is on here 😭
Edit: THANK GOD 😂😭
What about Will and Jada?
I don’t usually voice my disagreements on your opinions, but I’m with you on this one.
If that was a publicity stunt then how do you explain their two crazy af children ( Willow and Jaden)?
@@ranitagadling4312people can still do publicity stunts with children.
