"Should I post this on Instagram?" Tanya asked me as she showed a picture of me sleeping peacefully.
"I don't think it's a good idea." I chuckled.
"Come on, baby... You look so cute!" she said.
Tanya Denali and I had started dating two years ago, and everything had been crazy since then.
We were doing an upcoming blockbuster together, and we just... clicked right from the first day of the shoot.
What drew me towards her was how at ease she was with handling fame. Maybe it was because she was always part of this world because she was a daughter of Marcus Denali, a Hollywood royalty.
We were making noises in all the tabloids.
People were going crazy at the new 'IT couple' of Hollywood.
We were getting bombarded with the requests for the photo shoots, and we were everywhere.
She said she was getting tired of the 'nepo baby' tag, so she welcomed the change in the media perception since we started dating. She had her own identity being a part of the 'power couple' now... She was no longer known just because of her parents.
And we got married soon after. It kind of made sense at that time... We seemed perfect on paper!
But things changed not so long after the marriage... We began to realize that we were two different people. She enjoyed all the craziness that came with the tag of power couple, and I simply didn't.
We decided to continue the marriage because our 'brand value' was too strong to get separated... And people convinced me that this was how Hollywood worked!
So we stayed in the marriage, just differently now... We were free to do whatever the fuck we wanted and have any hook-ups as long as it was not known to anyone!
I questioned myself everyday if I made the right decision by getting myself into this mess and if I should end it.
But I wondered what it was going to change.
My life was a circus now, and the divorce wasn't going to change anything! In fact, it'd just make everything worse!
"Hmmm baby? Can I go ahead and post it?" she asked.
"Ummm yeah... Go ahead." I said.
