It can be difficult to decode the language used in the media sometimes. “Cradling baby-bump” might be more accurately described as “rubbing food-baby”.
“Looking worn from stress,” is more likely to be “stayed up way too late watching Netflix”.
And most of the time, “stepping out” literally just means walking.
In the wake of reports that he and partner Anna Heinrich are now living separately, Former Bachelor Tim Robards has shared a handy language decryption key on his Instagram.
“The term ‘Heated argument'” he explained, “Actually means ‘god I’m full, no I don’t want your last piece of steak thanks.”
“The term ‘tensions so high they didn’t finish food’ actually means… ‘Anna the chip thief finished off my last sweet potato fries’.”
Evidently the magazine had knocked a year of Robards age, as he explained, “‘Tim, 32’ actually means ‘Tim is looking amaze balls for 33 haha..'”
Very witty.
The Bachelor was even clever enough to squeeze in a sneaky sponsorship mention. “‘Seen moving boxes from their apartment’ actually means ‘was snapped outside work taking his weekly supply of #TRM youfoodz meals home with him’,” he posted.
Making fun of the language used by Australian gossip mag OK!, Robards has assured his followers that all is well with the couple. The strength of their Bachie love was also confirmed by a representative of the couple, who told The Daily Mail, “Please know that there is no truth to this rumour, or these erroneous reports whatsoever.”

Robards previously told Daily Mail that ups and downs are just normal part of every relationship.
“There’s always trouble with Anna,” he said. “There’s always trouble in paradise.”

Nice response, Tim! I think I rolled my eyes so hard I nearly sprained an eyeball this evening, reading the covers of the trash mags at the supermarket. My favourite was from last week, the 'exclusive' shocking pics of Nicole Kidman snogging another man in public! Except it was a scene from her movie, and she was kissing her co-star (Alexander Skarsgard, half her luck!). How on earth do they get away with it? I suppose if the celebs sued every time a mag printed such rubbish, they'd never have time to actually work. :/
