Dating someone in the public eye has its ups and downs. Being in a high profile relationship with a famous person might be difficult for some people who are not used to that level of fame yet. Entering a romance with a member of One Direction or a starlet like Ariana Grande comes with a lot of attention from the paparazzi, fans, and the media and it can take a toll on some relationships and people who are not used to being in the spotlight.
