>>226 Also yes to this. They seem to be an appropriate match for one another.

Has Tom been waiting all his acting life for a relationship that was worth pimping out for publicity? Was he in fact in a relationship with JArthy for a year but never admitted it because there was nothing in it for him? I bet he did tell that Elle journalist that she was his GF and she assumed it was no secret and mentioned it. Then he realised very suddenly that his relationship wasn't helping him with his internet fanbase so he kicked poor old Jane back in the closet.

Was he responsible for the USW article about THEO and PurseGateGate, when he thought he had a romance that might buy him Oscar glory? It would certainly explain her otherwise mystifyingly bad reaction to the paps. Then when ISTL bombs EO is back in the closet too.

I think he is gagging for this - the attention, the column inches, the lifestyle and his perception of himself as the stud who got Swifty.

>>237 I think you nailed it re: JArthy. And I could absolutely see this version re: THEO PurseGate. And now I think that he definitely sees himself as the stud who is worthy of only the best, and the best in his opinion, as it turns out, is a multimillionaire mega-famous music/movie/other A-list star, no less.

P.S. I am still lurking and agreeing with pretty much everything all of you say, just a bit speechless myself, lol. I certainly did not expect the pap stroll with his mum.

Now I want a ridiculously cheesy wedding with carriages, doves, white horses, prom king and queen crowns, TH pushing TS's cats down the aisle in a stroller, her squad in matching bridesmaids' dresses, etc., etc., and then I want to never hear from them again. Meh.
