to think this is clearly a happy, happy marriage

Nothing to see here, just a happy couple. The Daily Mail said so, so it must be a FACT.

Still standing better than I ever did

That's fucking hilarious.

paniniswapx3 · 20/05/2016 00:22

WTF??

Queenbean · 20/05/2016 00:24

God the DM is such a bitch

PaulAnkaTheDog · 20/05/2016 00:26

They don't need anyone else.

I'm sure those hacks think they are terribly clever and witty.

They should probably be aware, however, that the moral high ground is out of the line of sight of pretty much everyone involved. With the possible exception of the children, of course - but hey, let's not let that stop the pursuit of a jolly good joke, eh?

What's that David has in his hand in picture 5? Looks like a bottle of olive oil?

bibbitybobbityyhat · 20/05/2016 00:31

Who is to say what makes a happy marriage? The Daily Mail are rather scraping the barrel with this (again). And you too op.

So this wasn't fed by their own PR machine? Or is that crushingly naive?Blush

'Invade their own privacy'

Oooh.

I wonder why comments are not allowed Hmm

Thin ice methinks Grin

DM are great for giving answers to questions that haven't been asked...

DuckAndPancakes · 20/05/2016 00:47

Journalism at its finest, as always.

Iknownuffink · 20/05/2016 00:53

Click bait.

Oh bless you OP.

No it is DM being very very arch.

I'm sure David and Elton's PR people would be sacked if they even looked at the DM

Just5minswithDacre · 20/05/2016 00:55

Not that there's anything to be arch about Hmm

TheBlessedCheesemaker · 20/05/2016 00:58

What a deeply affecting portrait.
So personal and intimate that i wonder how it managed to escape an injunction.

LadyCassandra · 20/05/2016 01:46

I came on here to see if anyone else had noticed this! Grin

Too funny!

Wagglebees · 20/05/2016 03:08

Such thin ice it's practically cracking beneath the editors feet.

EchoOfADistantTide · 20/05/2016 03:12

I smell an injunction.

Anicechocolatecake · 20/05/2016 04:07

I loved the 'how happy they are.....and the whole world knows it'. The DM is having a strop and they look like giant bitches! It's quite satisfying seeing them feel an injustice has been done (to them!)

HopelesslydevotedtoGu · 20/05/2016 04:30

And if, by so doing, they have also been promoting their own profiles, their latest professional projects, or their charity work, then who are cynics to quibble about the couple invading their own privacy?

This is hilarious!

I can't see that 'article' lasting much beyond 9 am.
