We all love celebrity relationships, two celebrities in love sharing their affection publicly with declarations of love on social media and selfies shared on Instagram accompanied with cute hashtags.

Unfortunately, most of these celebrity relationship do not last. They crash the same way they start, spectacularly. And with the aftermath comes nasty Twitter fights, Instagram drama, and a total mess that makes the former lovers open to public scrutiny.

We have seen this happen over and over again- a predictive cycle of events that unsparingly exposes the most intimate part of these celebrities as their relationships crash and burn. Can't celebrity relationships last? Well they can. A school of thought is of the opinion believes that celebrities should keep their relationships from the public eye.

"For any relationship to have any chance in entertainment, I think you need to keep it completely private if you can help it. If I am in a relationship I would want to keep it completely private just because it's hard, it's really hard" said M.I.

Filmmaker Mildred Okwo is also of similar thought. In a tweet she posted today (August 11), she advises her clients to keep their affairs away from the public eye.

A lot of Nigerian celebrities have been practicing the low key relationship lifestyle. Media personality Ebuka had been dating his fiancée Cynthia Obianodo for four years before announcing their engagement this year.

Reports also say Lilian Esoro and Ubi Franklin have started dating again and are intent on keeping things low key after their relationship unraveled in public a few months ago. Also Tonto Dikeh known for high profile, public relationships kept things rather private surprising everyone with the news of her marriage.
