While most of us have the luxury of playing out our relationships in private, controversial Bachelor couple Blake and Louise have courted headlines from the beginning all the way until the end.
In the latest media appearance, the pair went on The Kyle and Jackie O Show this morning to clear up rumours and speculation following the announcement of their split in New Idea earlier this week.
“We’ve still got this amazing friendship, which has so been great for both of us to get through this,” said Louise. “Because, obviously, it hasn’t been easy.”
“Can you imagine if we didn’t?” he said. “When just do something quietly they’re like ‘What are you hiding? Why aren’t you speaking out?'”
He said he’ learned that lesson the hard way during the beginning of their relationship, when a media blackout had reporters camped outside his mother’s house.
“That was ridiculous,” he said. “I’m not going through that again.”
Among the harshest critics of the way Blake and Louise have handled the who saga was fellow contestant Laurina, who slammed the pair during an interview with The Daily Mail, for "exploiting" their relationship and "milking the last drop of publicity".
Blake wasn't having a bar of it this morning.
"It seems a bit pot-calling-kettle-black when she's talking about milking publicity," he said. "Didn't she go on that show in the jungle?" (Unfortunately, Blake seems to have forgotten that he also went on The Celebrity Apprentice. Though that's probably for the best.)

Now of this makes sense. Who does this? It's giving me publicity vibes too.
I'm sus on this break up. Smells totally of publicity and I wouldn't be surprised if we find them "back together" soon for more publicity.
I thought the same, then they can get more money for their "reunion".
