Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham are one of those celebrity couples who manage to share their lives on social media while ensuring that they keep their private lives to themselves. This is probably why the couple has been together longer than most celebrity couplesโ marriages have lasted.
Part of what makes the couple so successful is the fact that they just live their lives and remain as normal as possible.
โPeople want to live on camera 24/7 but thatโs not us,โ Rosie once told Elle Australia.
Instead, the couple goes to work, albeit high-profile work, and when it is done, appears to come back home for a bit of quiet and family time.
Here is why people think Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley are really a married couple.
Rosie And Jason Have Been Together For Over A Decade
Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley look and act like a married couple. Because of this, many are surprised to find out that while the parents of two have been engaged for five years, they have never taken the leap to say, โI do.โ
And the couple seems to have no plans for changing their relationship status anytime in the near future.
Rosie and Jason began dating after meeting on the set of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. While the couple was able to date in secret for several months, they finally tired of the hiding and made their relationship official in 2010.
And although there were some tongues wagging because of their 20-year age difference, none of the chatter seemed to phase the couple.
A short time later, Rosie and Jason combined their households and moved in together, showing everyone just how committed they were to one another. For some, it may have appeared that the couple was on the fast track for wedded bliss.
But even after being committed and living together for several years, no nuptials were planned.
The Couple Is Happily Engaged
When Jason and Rosie had been together for a handful of years, the questions kept coming whether the couple had plans to take the next step or not. And finally, in January 2016, that question was answeredโฆ sort of.
While the couple confirmed at the Golden Globes that they were indeed engaged, the question about when the wedding date was, was repeatedly left unanswered.
But because Rosie and Jason are so notoriously private about their personal lives, it did not seem out of place that they would not share information about a wedding that was or was not being planned.
However, any thoughts about a wedding shortly after the engagement were dashed when Rosie posted a picture to Instagram in 2017 announcing that she and Jason were expecting their first child together.
โVery happy to share that Jason and I are expecting!! Lots of love Rosie x,โ the Victoriaโs Secret model wrote.
The celebrity powerhouse then welcomed their son, Jack Oscar Statham, later that year.
Rumors Swirled That The Couple Planned To Get Married In 2018
After Jack was born, the rumors began again that Rosie and Jason were planning their big day and would be saying wedding vows to one another in 2018.
The rumors got to the point that the tabloids were stating that wedding bells would be ringing at the end of 2018. They went so far to state that wedding invitations were โdue to be sent out shortly.โ
But those rumors turned out to be just that, and Rosie and Jason remained happily engaged going into 2019.
Having Kids Was More Important To Rosie And Jason Than Getting Married
The question of marriage was still one that media outlets wanted answered after Jack was born. In fact, the question was asked more than ever. That was until Rosie set the record straight about where the couple stood on marriage, when she spoke to Extra in 2018.
โI think the time will come,โ the then mother-of-one said. โWeโve been so focused on our work for so long, and Jack came along. We definitely talk about it, weโre looking forward to that time, itโs also not a huge priority for us, weโre so happy.โ
โI think it will be fun to do it when the ????????????????โs grown up a bit and he can be involved in the wedding,โ she added.
Itโs one of the most candid things Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has shared with fans, and it gives perspective on where the couple stands when it comes to matrimony.
In August 2021, the Mad Max: Fury Road star announced that she was expecting again, via a post on Instagram.
โTaaa daahhh !! #round2,โ Rosie wrote.
If pregnancy number two is anything like her first, Jason and Rosie do not have any plans of getting married in the midst of Rosie being pregnant.
Walking Down The Aisle โSeems Sillyโ At This Point
In July, The Globe reported that Rosie and Jason simply were not getting married because โthe whole idea seems silly after sheโs spent a third of her life with her man.โ
The publication stated that Rosie indeed wanted to be married someday but that she was satisfied with the engagement ring, representing the commitment she and Jason had toward one another.
Further still, the modeling jobs that she was taking and the films that the Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels star were shooting made it impossible for the couple to even think about trying to put on a wedding at this time in their lives.
Instead, the couple would likely opt for something small and โlast-minute,โ per the publication when the time came.
Suggest looked at these claims and found them to be baseless given the number of false rumors The Globe has spread about the couple over the years.
Instead, The Globe, just like the rest of the public will remain in the dark as to when, or if, Rosie and Jason ever marry. And that is exactly how the couple seems to like it.
