This famous couple clearly isn’t letting celebrity gossip damage their relationship and love. What are some ways to stay strong despite rumors?
Cupid’s Advice:
Just because you’re not a celebrity couple doesn’t mean you don’t have to deal with rumors and gossip. Thanks to social media, news travels fast and people talk. But you can’t let other people’s opinions cause problems in your private relationship. Cupid has some tips on how to rise above the gossip:
1. Turn the other cheek: Ignoring what other people are saying about you is easier said then done. Sometimes, it can be downright impossible, and you’ll start to wonder if there’s any truth to what’s being said. If you’re feeling insecure, you need to approach your partner with your concerns in an honest and non-accusatory way.

2. There’s power in numbers: There are only two opinions in your relationship that matter. It’ll be easier for you and your significant other to fend off rumors when you stick together and remember that the only voices you should listen to are each other’s.

3. Sticks and stones…: If your mother ever told you that words can’t hurt, she lied. Words, especially negative ones, can carry weight and cause damage, and pretending that gossip doesn’t bother you won’t make things any easier. Once you recognize this truth, you need to remember that, while words can be painful, you can definitely be stronger than the people who run the rumor mill.
