One of the many things that we love to do is watch our favorite Hollywood stars sharing their love life. We want to know whom they are dating, how long they have been dating and any relationship drama that ensues. We thrive off it. Whether we "ship" the couple or hope they split, we follow their every move on social media and in the tabloids to check on their status. While some people will post basic statuses declaring their love, others may share pictures.
Some celebrities claim to be in love, but do not seem to be overly affectionate in public. It is as though they hate public displays of affection—also know as PDA. These couples are the ones that we may question the status of. Then, there are the couples that are the polar opposite. These couples are constantly engaging in PDA in the tabloids and on social media. Whether they are engaging in a quick peck or holding hands, it can be enough to completely turn people off from their relationship. See whom we have found to actually truly dislike PDA versus the celebrity couples literally can't get enough of it. All in all we do have to agree that some things are best left behind closed doors.
15 Aren't Into It: Kate Middleton And Prince William Remain Professional
You will likely never see Prince William and Duchess Kate performing any kind of public display of affection. With three children, many people may wonder if there is a lack of passion there—especially when Prince Harry and fiancée Megan Markle get a lot cozier in public.
This lack of PDA likely is not because of any lost love but is based on a precedent set by the Queen.
With Prince William being one of the next in line to the throne, he must keep a professional demeanor when out in public. Kate must do the same. While Travel and Leisure report that this is not an official rule, it seems to be an unspoken rule between the royals. As for Prince Harry, he has always been a bit of a rebel.
14 Aren't Into It: Leighton Meester And Adam Brody Outgrew Their Teen Personas
Leighton Meester and Adam Brody both had roles in hit teen dramas. Meester starred in Gossip Girl, while Brody starred in The OC. The two have been married since 2014 and have a child together, as per Vanity Fair. They do not act as their characters on their shows would have with one another. When the duo is photographed by the paparazzi, we should not expect to see any major displays of PDA. The two firmly believe that they are just people and try to live a normal life.
Perez Hilton caught the pair walking their dogs in the city. While the pair looked happy to be together, there was no kissing and no intertwined limbs. It looked like two people; their dogs and a solid conversation between loved ones.
13 All About It: Jessica Simpson And Eric Johnson Have #NoFilter
According to Fame10, Jessica Simpson and husband Eric Johnson show far too much PDA. They are often pictured kissing and just baring everything for the world to see.

They really like to play up the PDA and even did a Fifty Shades Of Grey-themed photo shoot that they shared with the world, as per OK! Magazine.
Luckily when the children are in the photos, they tone down the PDA to be subtle enough to go unnoticed to an untrained eye.
They generally go a little bit too far in interviews, detailing their intimate life to sites such as Entertainment Tonight. The world loves celebrity babies, but we do not need the details of how they come to be.
12 Aren't Into It: Cameron Diaz And Benji Madden Are Just Boys And Girls In Love
Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden are a couple that is often forgotten about. They tend to make appearances on their own. In the rare case in which they are together, they avoid over the top public displays of affection. Diaz told The Daily Mail that their wedding was not even over the top with PDA. It took place in their living room and they held the reception on their tennis court.
When the two are spotted out—whether it is grocery shopping or at an airport—they are able to walk independently from one another, but always seem to be enjoying each other’s company. They often are smiling together while walking in sync. They even may match their attire to one another. Who says PDA equals love?

Since they committed themselves to one another, they have to keep themselves and each other in check in order to have a successful relationship. They like to make sure they work on the intellectual part of their relationship, so their two daughters have role models in life for problem-solving and relationship building. Working on love like this requires no PDA.

Marie Claire reported that one of the most forgotten about couples is Karlie Kloss and Josh Kushner. With Karlie Kloss being one of the world’s top supermodels, it is difficult to believe that people would forget about her relationship. That would have to mean that the couple remains pretty private. Harper’s Bizarre reports that this is all on purpose.
Karlie quoted Carolina Herrera in this interview, saying, “A woman who’s an open book is boring.” Karlie wants to have somewhat of a private life for her romantic life so she can focus on what matters to her— especially since they are five years into their relationship.

Every photo that this couple takes is over the top, oozing love and affection. 'Madame Noire' questions if this is sincere, or an elaborate scheme to hide their marital issues.
Not only are they constantly showing off their love, but it is the number one thing that they discuss in their interviews. Will even discussed his lengthy marriage to Jada in an interview about education with Reader’s Digest. Cutting back would lessen suspicions.

Since the elevator incident, the duo has primarily appeared in public with their children. The kids have become the center of their world, with each parent showing the child(ren) affection. The two are slowly starting to be photographed together again—generally seen smiling or laughing—but nothing that screams over the top PDA. Occasionally, they may be making contact by touching another’s arm, but nothing that would get them a rating worse than G.

They were actually not initially convinced that the relationship would go anywhere, as many co-stars often date and promptly break up.
These two put their fears aside after a while and started dating. They enjoy conversing with one another, as they can relate to the struggles and triumphs that only other actors would understand. Graham even credits that to being the key to their relationship. Since they wanted to stay under the radar—and they found other ways to connect—PDA was put on the back burner.

The pair had wanted to strengthen their relationship after Ed wrapped his last tour. Cherry quit her job, and Ed took a year off. Then they traveled the world together. This kept them out of the eye of the media and—according to Sheeran—gave them “the time to fall in love properly.” Cherry is generally not seen out with Sheeran, except in very rare paparazzi photos. The only picture of PDA is the photo that Sheeran posted to announce their engagement.
