When it comes to celebrities, one thing that always seems to be of interest to the public is their love life. While some famous couples prefer to keep a low profile, others are constantly hounded by paparazzi, gossip magazines and rumor mills.

But despite the constant attention and speculation, these famous duos want to make one thing clear: they don't let other people's opinions affect their relationships. They just enjoy being with each other, and that's all that matters.
