Lil Durk and India Royale | Celebrity couples who shut down breakup rumors in subtle ways

When you’re a celebrity couple in the limelight, it may seem like your relationship is constantly under attack. People do not care whether you guys have been together for a few weeks or decades.

It’s no surprise as entertainment duos are rarely safe from the prying eyes of tabloids. Many people expect celebrity relationships not to last, and this has made it a hot news item. Even months before the concerned parties confirm or debunk the rumors, news about it makes rounds.

Learn about Lil Durk and India Royale and other celebrity couples who have shut down breakup rumors.

Lil Durk and India Royale

Celebrity couple Lil Durk and India Royale recently trended on the internet because fans were speculating that they had broken up. The couple was actually the perpetrators of the rumors because it started when fans noticed that Durk had unfollowed India.

Also, India subsequently deleted all pictures of him from her Instagram page. After the rumors had hit the internet, the pair took to social media that same day to laugh off the gossip.

Durk went on Instagram Live to show that they are, in fact, still together. During the live stream, India could be heard giggling in the background while the Chicago rapper was said, “Y’all want us to break up so bad.”

Not long after, Durk decided to dispel the rumors some more by posting a picture of him and India to his account. “Y’all know damn well this sh*t 4eva,” he captioned a photo of them kissing.

Hailey Baldwin & Justin Bieber

Hailey Bieber wastes no time in shutting down rumors about her marriage to Justin Bieber. Whether it is break up or mistreatment rumors, Hailey ensures that she knocks them down completely.

In March 2019, a source for Us Weekly reportedly claimed that Bieber’s friends were “concerned about his relationship with Hailey,” stating that they were “still having trust issues and a hard time.”

It wasn’t long before Hailey cleared up the speculation via her Instagram Stories. She wrote, “don’t believe what ya read on the internet, folks.” Her message came along with a sticker that read “fake news.”

The duo have been married for over two-and-a-half years, and they are still going strong.

Jada Pinkett Smith & Will Smith

Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith are another Hollywood power couple who have always been rumored to have hit the rocks, and they usually ignored the rumors.

However, in August 2015, RadarOnline claimed that the couple were splitting after 17 years together, and Will couldn’t help but fire back almost immediately. In a statement on Facebook, Will wrote: “Under normal circumstances, I don’t usually respond to foolishness. (Because it’s contagious) But… Jada and I are… NOT GETTING A DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I promise you all — if I ever decide to divorce my Queen — I SWEAR I’ll tell you myself!“

Will said this in 2006 and again in 2015; he obviously means business. In July 2020, there were rumors of Jada being in a relationship with August Alsina, which she tagged ‘an entanglement’ while on Red Table Talk with her husband, Will Smith. News flash, they are still together.

Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi

Celebrity couple Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have dealt with tons of break-up speculation during their 12-year marriage, but surprisingly, these rumors do not really bother de Rossi.

In fact — as the Arrested Development star explained to Us Weekly in June 2018 — the speculation makes her feel that their relationship has been accepted.

She said: “The divorce rumors came, and then we really knew the perceptions had changed. I’m not kidding. I know it sounds ridiculous, but when that started happening, I thought, ‘Oh, now we’re finally accepted.’ We get the same sh*t as every celebrity couple.”

And though de Rossi said she and her wife largely ignored the rumors, DeGeneres addressed the divorce rumblings during a September 2015 appearance on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show.

She was asked if she and de Rossi were actually headed into a messy, drawn-out $220 million divorce battle (as the National Enquirer claimed), then DeGeneres said the reports were totally false. And she joked: “We really don’t almost break up, we don’t fight, we’re madly in love, and I guess it’s boring.”

Tiffany Haddish & Common

In July 2020, Tiffany Haddish and Common went public with their relationship, but fans started to bombard them with breakup rumors just three months later.

The rumor started when Common reportedly unfollowed Haddish on Instagram in October 2020, but luckily, the duo quickly shut down the speculation in an IG Live together.

Common gushed about his GF a few days later during an appearance on The Karen Hunter Show, calling her “a really incredible human being.” No drama to see here! This was to debunk the breakup rumors further.
