It's like the expression, "There's no such thing as bad publicity." People are certainly talking about them and I Saw the Light, which is probably exactly what whoever orchestrated all this wanted. The fact that none of it makes sense and he went home alone makes me more inclined to think it's a very casual relationship, or they're just friends and it's all for PR. It doesn't seem to fit with a full-blown relationship.

Of course I could be wrong, but we will probably never know the truth. We will just continue to get whatever story Tom, Elizabeth, their PR, the movie's PR, the press, etc. have decided to give us.
