-> if they were to come out, would start spilling stories from the past. Like they now make all the lists of costars who hated each other, they would be on the lists of costars who secretly banged each other. G would probably be okay, since I doubt anybody in England would make a fuss, but here it would be huge, and I just don’t see him going through with that. So sadly, I don’t see their romantic relationship having any future.

I understand your point and I can feel you’re a David’s fan and not so much a Gillian’s fan, am I right?
The thing is, the way I see it, it’s Gillian who is more reluctant to go public and David who doesn’t give a shit anymore. I think it’s the same in their life, in general. David seems to have decided to live his life, enjoying it, doing what he wants when wants and not caring about other’s opinion. On the other hand, I think Gillian still struggles with needing to be in control and controlling her image and protecting her privacy.
Those rumors you’re talking about already exist. People, fans, press, already believe they’ve banged in the 90’s. It’s not going to make any fuss, or maybe it will for a time and then the press will move on, and David’s kids are old enough to handle it if their parents talk to them.
There’s also the fact that David’s career as an actor isn’t as high as Gillian’s for the moment. She’s the one on magazines’ front page, she’s the one filming movies and series non stop when David is doing his music and writing his book which doesn’t give him a lot of exposure compared to Gillian right now.
So actually, I think going public would have more consequences, positive or not, on Gillian’s career and image than on David’s. I think she knows it, and with the fact that her kids are still very young and very protected from all that, I believe she’s the one being reluctant to make this final step.
But with the recent mess, and this dating rumor going on, maybe she’ll change her mind and kill two birds with one stone.
