From Zara & Louis to Liz & Billy, how celebs are following Gen Z trend and ‘hard-launching' their new relationships
WHEN David and Victoria Beckham announced their engagement in 1998, they memorably held a press conference to tell the world their happy news. Britain's most famous couple posed gleefully for the cameras – but such scenes would be unthinkable in today's age of 'soft' and 'hard' launching on social media. Those terms, which now form part of Gen Z's terminology, are used to express how youngsters and celebs announce their relationships to the world by sharing pictures online. Soft-launching mean they drop hints about their romance without explicitly telling their social media followers what is going on. A hard launch, meanwhile, is a clear display of a couple's love, such as plastering a picture of themselves together on their Instagram profile. Here, we take a look at some recent showbiz romances which emerged on social media. Gigi & Bradley 11 Gigi Hadid posted a passionate snog with her actor beau Bradley Cooper on her 30th Credit: Instagram MODEL Gigi Hadid posted a passionate snog with her actor beau Bradley Cooper on her 30th birthday in May. Romance rumours first surfaced in October 2023 after they were photographed after dinner in New York. But it was only three months ago when Gigi landed a smacker on Brad – who is 20 years her senior – that the pair hard-launched their romance. 11 Romance rumours first surfaced in October 2023 Credit: Getty Zara & Louis 11 It was revealed that One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson was dating Strictly star Zara McDermott in March Credit: Instagram/Zara_Mcdermott THE Sun first revealed former One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson was dating Strictly star Zara McDermott in March after they were spotted going out for dinner. They partied at Glastonbury together but remained tight-lipped. Zara soft-launched their romance on Instagram last month by wearing a necklace with the initial 'L'. They hard-launched on Monday when Zara, 28, uploaded a selfie of them kissing, with Louis, 33, commenting: 'I love you x.' Watch the moment proud boyfriend Louis Tomlinson is spotted supporting Zara McDermott as she takes to the stage at Glastonbury 11 Zara soft-launched their romance on Instagram Credit: Supplied Paul & Gracie 11 Gracie Abrams and Paul Mescal hard launched their romance at Glasto Credit: Instagram SINGER Gracie Abrams last year insisted gossip about her and actor Paul Mescal 'has nothing to do with me'. At the LA premiere of Paul's movie Gladiator II in November, they did not walk the red carpet as a couple. It wasn't until June that Gracie, 25, made a hard launch with a sweet video of her on the shoulders of hunk Paul, 29, at Glastonbury. 11 Gladiator II star Paul Credit: Getty 11 Gracie insisted romance rumours 'has nothing to do with me' Credit: Getty Leah & Elle 11 Leah Williamson and model girlfriend Elle Smith in New York Credit: INSTAGRAM RIDING the wave of last month's Euros victory, Lionesses captain Leah Williamson's girlfriend Elle Smith shared a snap of them cosying up together in bikinis – an intimate image which marked the hard launch of their relationship. It came after a soft-launch video clip in March of the pair relaxing on a paddleboard. Elle, 27, wrote 'happy birthday my love' in the caption – but the face of former Miss USA Elle, 27, was obscured, setting tongues wagging over her identity. 11 Lionesses captain Leah's girlfriend Elle Smith shared a snap of them cosying up together in bikinis Credit: Supplied Channing & Inka 11 Channing Tatum and Inka Williams romance rumours began when they left a pre-Oscars party together in February Credit: BackGrid RUMOURS of Hollywood heart-throb Channing Tatum finding love with Inka Williams began when they left a pre-Oscars party together in February. It came just months after his three-year relationship with his actress fiancee Zoe Kravitz ended. And Australian model Inka, 25, confirmed Channing had moved on when she hard-launched their relationship on his 45th birthday in April, writing on Instagram: 'Happy life to the handsomest, kindest, funniest, stupidest most gorgeous human ever!!!' Liz & Billy 11 Liz Hurley's Instagram followers were stunned when she posted a pic of Billy Ray Cyrus kissing her Credit: Instagram/Elizabeth Hurley LIZ HURLEY'S 3.2million Instagram followers were stunned when she posted a photo of US country singer Billy Ray Cyrus kissing her in April. Many of them thought the hard-launch image was computer-generated as their romance seemed so unlikely. But Austin Powers star Liz, 60, and Billy, 63, look to be going strong – with the couple holding hands on the red carpet on Wednesday at a premiere for reality series The Inheritance, in which Liz stars.

Chris, 32, and JoJo, 22, have now taken a big step in their relationship - and their families are involved too. A source told The Sun: 'JoJo, her entire family and Chris are off on their first family holiday together onboard the Star of the Seas. "The mega-ship boasts a full-blown water park, non-stop entertainment and more deck space than you can shake a sun lounger at - and weirdly, Chris isn't worried about spending so much time with his inlaws on the ocean. "It's taking things to the next level - they're really serious about each other.' The pair have been inseparable over the last few months since meeting on the ITV show. US star JoJo recently shared an intimate loved-up photo of herself and Chris - while revealing the "best thing" about dating him. In the picture, she is seen lying on top of Chris, 32, as the pair float on a lilo in a pool. Written over the sexy snap, she answered fan questions, with one asking her: "What's the best thing about dating Chris?" JoJo replied: "No matter what I am feeling he is always there to help me with that feeling.

"He is the most fun to be around and he's not only good to me but he's good to everybody. Genuinely I think he's the nicest person I know. "Also all of the universe signs are fun to spot out. "Honestly while I was answering this question one of our songs came on the loudspeaker of where I'm at right now." Meanwhile, Jojo's ex, Kath Ebbs, went public with their new romance. The non-binary star shared photobooth pics kissing Australian footballer Tilly Lucas-Rodd. "The rumours are true! YES I still (stupidly) believe in love!! 🚀" they wrote.
