Careers affect their relationship
Their stories start as a friend then it goes into romance and they are successful musicians and then eventually break up. Which makes them real instead of showmanlike.
They won the show which shows that they are genuinely connected with each other instead they are talented artists. But when they broke up it shows that high pressure and quick fame can quickly damage your relationship.
After the break up they wanted to focus on their individual personalities and uplift their music career. They learn that life still goes on no matter what the situation is.
For their fans and future participants it is a reminder that looking for gold is not always gold, sometimes it’s just light.
What my fans are saying
Their fans from a long time when they hear about their separation really express sadness because they really admire their music, chemistry and relationship and call them a real and genuine couple.
Some commented that maybe they did not handle the pressure when they came out of the show. In fact when they are friends before the show it’s a different thing but when they come out of the show as the couple they did not handle the situation perfectly and broke up at the end.
While others think that they make decisions maturely. Because they want to progress themselves as individual personalities, pursue their careers, and come out of the past and welcome the future and present. They also have different priorities in life.
