I've heard Ed asked on a number of occasions recently since he and Jade have been out what the go is, and he's never given a proper response. All the while we're getting pics and Twitter updates that make it obvious they're together. The issue for me is that it's obvious the journos know they won't get a proper response from Ed so they're going to Tim because they know he'll talk. That causes all sorts of problems because Tim is given the chance to control the narrative and talk as much shit as he wants about the relationship.
I'm sure anybody with half a brain cell who's watched the show wouldn't believe a word Tim says about them given his hated of Ed and like you said, quite obvious feelings for Jade...but there's still going to be the oblivious majority who will just accept whatever he says. At least if Ed and Jade come out and declare their status it might shut Tim up and let the relationship be reported for what it is and not Tim's version of it.
Again I don't think either of them have a responsibility to say anything...but I personally would like it if they did because it might stop some of the obviously false reporting.
Well said, and I do agree. I would like them to silence Tim and the speculators, but Ed is media trained after years of afl, their motto - say something, but never give away any secrets - seems Ed has this down pat, he has lived in the public spotlight for many years thro afl, maybe he wants to keep his private life close to his chest, most of them do. People like Tim however, extroverts, love to live in the public eye and will do and say anything to keep that going, regardless of who that may hurt along the way. Personally I like Eds way myself but I have spent the last 35years living with a one eyed Port supporter, so I see a lot of footballers, spent a lot of time at training sessions and in club rooms, so I understand their need for some small part of their lives being kept private. I don't think the Tim's of this world would understand that and I don't think anything Ed said or did would shut Tim up!
