Public fascination with celebrities is normally fed by the portrayal of their relationships as fairytales, which are to be looked up to in the modern age. However, the celebrity relationships underneath the red carpet shows and flashing-camera headlines are as intricate as the ones of the general public, thus, they even sometimes get magnified because people pick on them incessantly. Some famous couples do not make it to the walk down the aisle, but they part their ways quietly even after the presentation of a ring and the planning of a wedding. These ruptured engagements are an emphatic indication that a proposal is just the promise of a future and occasionally, for different reasons, that promised future remains unwritten.
