After going through an on-again, off-again relationship since started dating in 2012, celebrity couple Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone may have thought that being low-key and away from the limelight is crucial to a lasting relationship.
That appears to be what they are doing now as amid rumors of their breakup late last year, neither one of them nor both have publicly come out to either confirm or deny those reports.
It seems that after their last breakup in March of last year and the rekindling of their romance in May, they have decided that they don’t need to be accountable to anybody or the public when it comes to their relationship or their private affairs.
However, their silence has been taken by some in the media as a publicity stunt to promote Emma Stone’s upcoming movie with Ryan Gosling titled “La La Land.”
It would seem like one as the rumored split of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone was reportedly caused by Ryan Gosling, who happens to be living together with long-time partner Eva Mendes, and they even share a baby together.
Interestingly, despite all those rumors, not one from Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, or Eva Mendes has opened their mouth on the issue which only means that they are letting the speculations propagate, after all, it did not come from them but most likely an offshoot of speculations of those who have nothing much to write in the media.
Learning from past mistakes
It seems that Emma and Andrew have learned their lessons from their previous breakups. If they keep on believing what is reported in the media about them or denying them, the stories and rumors about them will never end.
While they know that they cannot shield themselves or their relationship from the media given their celebrity status, what is clear is that they can avoid being affected by it by just letting the media speculate, anyway, it’s good PR for them or their upcoming movies.
In fact, according to the Parent Herald, sources say that the reported breakup of Emma and Andrew was just a publicity stunt to promote Stone’s new movie which will be released on July 15.
“La La Land” is the third screen pairing of Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling after “Crazy Stupid Love” in 2011, and “Gangster Squad” in 2013.
Andrew Garfield, on the other hand, is close to finishing work for his upcoming movie, “Hacksaw Ridge.”
Enough is enough
As a very popular couple, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone may have decided that enough is enough of the public limelight when it comes to their relationship so they decided to keep everything under wraps.
In fact, after they have gotten back together in May last year, there was hardly anything that can be heard from the celebrity couple since. That was precisely the reason why rumors about their split started propagating because they have not been seen together for a while plus the fact that there is no public face to their relationship any longer, notes Movie News Guide.
Reports have it that Emma and Andrew are still very much together. In fact, there are presumptions that once “La La Land” is released to the theaters and Andrew starts promoting his movie, he is likely to be shown with Emma again.
In addition to helping promote their respective upcoming movies, the rumors about their breakup would also push the media focus away from their relationship.
The two of them could also concentrate on their respective careers much better when their relationship is no longer in the spotlight.
According to some reports, Emma and Andrew decided not to bother answering questions or queries about their relationship in order to protect their relationship from being too much in the media limelight.
And if most of the media think that they are no longer a couple, they would surely let go of trying to find reports, rumors, or speculations about them or their relationship.
