I was chatting to a friend who works in television production and he mentioned someone having a great girlfriend. I was surprised as this actor has said in interviews he is single and lonely.
Why would you do that - worried about fans not being interested any more? Or maybe not wanting to discuss the relationship, even to the point of denying having a partner?

I know there are reports flying around all over the place that they're an item, they're engaged, they're moving in together etc, yet Rob has denied being romantically involved with Kristen, while she just point blank refuses to discuss her love life and personal relationships full stop, so who knows?
But this guy is in his 30s.
I think it's a mix of things, as others have already pointed out: basic PR, keeping interest up for fans so they continue to see someone as 'available', wanting to keep their private life out of the media, and in the case of where a celeb has a non-celeb partner not wanting media attention, keeping it quiet out of respect to them.
I wish you would say who this actor was!!!!
Anyway, who cares after so many public relation stunts lately I am bored with the whole thing. We have had Sinetta and her pregnancy only for it to be denied a few weeks later. It seems these "stars" will say and do anything to advance their careers. I no longer believe much of anything I read about anyone and no longer buy magazines like Hello etc. It seems journalists and agents can say anything they like about a star and then deny it a few days later. Nobody checks facts anymore in the journalist world. Half the time I think they make things up to get a sensational headline. We believe the publicity presented to us about a star, Ronan is a family man and Fern Britton is an earth mother type and then we find out that none of what we have read is true. Fern is depressed, hated being fat and was arrested for drunk driving when she was a young woman and now we are reading all about Ronan!!!!
I remember the actor Richard Chamberlin coming out yet years ago they had headline after headline of his "engagement" to a secretary, loving pics at home etc and now we know he is gay and has lived with a man in Hawaii for over thirty years. You just cannot believe anything that is written about these stars anymore.:rolleyes:
Much better to keep it private unless and until you're ready to make a real commitment.
Also there are people who like to have a long-term steady person in their lives - who they see as a very good friend with benefits rather than a partner. They may be hoping to meet someone they'll fall head over heals in love with, but are happy with the more casual relationship in the meantime. Fine as far as I'm concerned if they're adults and both know the score. Definitely not a relationship you would be sensible to shout to the rooftops though.
