I respectfully disagree with you. The way that the Stryker phrase the question…how long they’ve been going on…that was a couple’s question. Then, Lindsay admitted casually that she and Samanatha has woken up together. This definitely let wandering minds rest in peace because, to me, that means that they sleep together. Come on, when you put that together and the way that they’ve been acting for the past several months, they are a couple. It’s just that Lindsay, for the first time, has reference them as such. It isn’t like Lindsay tried to keep it private private. When you’re in love like Lindsay and Samantha, you’re not going to hide forever your actions, but you don’t have to necessarily shout out to the world your relationship, either. Lindsay is a well-known celebrity–and more sensationalized for her private life than her career because of some of the past mistakes that she has made. I think that Lindsay never opened up her relationship because she didn’t want the media/paps making a circus out of it. Look at most celebrities and how their relationships have ended. I am sure that “irreconcible differences” as in the media sensationalizing their relationship wasn’t the only thing that broke those couples up, but I am sure that it was one of the majority factors.

Look at Jay-Z and Beyonce. I think that Jay-Z even had went on record stating (I am paraphrasing here) that he doesn’t play with his and Beyonce’s relationship–meaning that he doesn’t talk about their relationship because it is private. Once a spotlight couple starts talking about their relationship in the media, it no longer is their relationship—they no longer have control over it—the media does. Once the media starts interfering and being in your private relationship, there is nothing enjoyable about it anymore because you are battling the media showcasing something very intimate and private.

Bottom line: I suspect that Lindsay hasn’t been talking about her relationship or making public official statements about it because she isn’t stupid; she knows that sensationalizing your own relationship can cause your relationship to end quickly. Lindsay’s problems/situations have been out in the open so long I think that she wants something to call her own. I don’t think that she wants others to claim her relationship.

I am genuinely happy that Samantha and Lindsay are together. Samantha confirms for Lindsay that there is someone out there who can compliment her and love her unconditionally, and that’s what love is about. If other people don’t accept, it is their problem; it is certainly not Lindsay’s or Samantha’s problem.
