Fan reaction
After Martin’s post, many fans came to his defence in the comment section.
One person said: “It’s so annoying how people in the public eye are baited by others. Private – a lot of us do too…. we aren’t in the puic eye so not considered interesting….be you it is allowed! Ignore them if you can.”
“Honestly think you both do an amazing job to keep as much as your private life private. Especially when your under so much unnecessary scrutiny,” another added.
And a third user commented: “Stick to your resolution to keep careers separate & private life private. It’s your business not anyone else’s.”
