Back in the day, celebrity couples used to make official statements about the person they are going out with through televised interviews. These declarations used to be so prim and proper. It then turned into couples declaring their love for each other by indicating their relationship status on Facebook. However, all of that changed in 2017, when broadcasting it on Facebook became, as the socialites would call it, so-last-season. Today, these star-studded personalities, to their credit, have found a new way to let the world know who they are dating — Instagram. Instagram is the social media of choice for millennials and Zoomers, after all, Tik Tok being a close second. So it’s only to be expected that Instagram is where they announce their relationship statuses.
Celebrities broadcasting their relationship statuses have become a common trend. Gone were the days when fans had to wait for their monthly gossip magazines to see if their favorite stars had started dating each other. Being Instagram official meant that one posted a photo of themself and their significant other, all the while looking cute and happy with a caption that is either enough to have the reader gush about it non-stop or enough to bring happy tears rolling off their cheeks. Oftentimes, this is paired with a series of emojis, followed by numerous Instagram stories that give others a peek into their lives as a celebrity couple. These stars who are head-over-heels for their partners are keeping their declarations casual. It has become more appealing for the fans because it looks less staged and a lot more authentic. The degree to which these stars consult the people who are managing their careers before posting something as official as their love life has been brought down to a minimum.
Break-ups are oftentimes brought up on Instagram with a series of Instagram stories. Typically, people jot down the reasons for the separation while using a black background to compliment the mood, and, this time, emoji are used a lot less. If these Hollywood icons do a lot of investment planning, they must be doing the same when they choose to broadcast their separations on Instagram. These are often accompanied by a deletion of posts or photographs of their former lovers, followed by unfollowing each other on Instagram. That is how the fans know it is truly over.
Numerous stars have announced their happy unions to their Instagram followers. Some of these personalities include Ben Affleck and Megan Fox. Jojo Siwa made an official Instagram post on February 9, 2021, even though she started dating a month ago. Her newfound lover was none other than her best friend Kylie. We give credit to Instagram for this good news. Ariana Grande is notorious for declaring her love relations on Instagram, from her relationship with the late Mac Miller, to her former fiance, Pete Davidson, to her newly found whirlwind romance with Dalton Gomez, with whom she is now engaged. Even former lovers, Justin Beiber and Selena Gomez, used to make official Instagram declarations of their on-again,off-again status. These celebrities don’t just have financial advisors, they must have social media managers as well. Famous musicians Halsey and G-Eazy are some of the celebrity power couples we used to adore. On February 16, 2021, socialite, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, the Blink-182 drummer, flaunted their relationship on Instagram. Kourtney used to date her long-time friend and neighbor, Travis Scott, in 2020.
These celebrity couples give us insurance that their union is legit, coming from their own verified Instagram accounts. Announcing their love for each other must be exhilarating for these stars, knowing full well that their fans are ever-supportive of them.
