This whole thing now is making it look like Tom wasn't really in RI. Otherwise why fake the dates? If he went to RI, what would faking the dates achieve?

The only reason I can think of for them faking the dates on those pics and all of this is if he never went to RI and flew out to Oz on Sun, and they wanted to make it look like the relationship was still going strong even though he didn't have time or make time to go see Taylor. Otherwise why lie about the dates?
Don't know if this means it's over. It could be hence faking the RI trip and now Gossip Coo dropping hints about the relationship could be being over.
