David being there along with Gillian’s bf would have been a good way for them to show that Gillovny isn’t real and it’s all fine and the air is clear everywhere. Like you said, David not going is very sad news but maybe it actually tells us being “just friends” is not easy for him. Maybe it’s an actual sign that Gillovny really isn’t dead and we didn’t imagine everything that happened in 2016 or before that. This is what I want to hope. 💞

I’m very confused to be honest. They look really fine with each other when they are together. In the little E! Interviews and in the BTS Fox released, they look good. Then there’s Gillian tweeting pictures of him and they are good! And there’s the “see you in January”.
So I don’t know, maybe we’re reading too much into it and he really has a commitment, but it sucks. I don’t know what it is that he couldn’t move to attend her ceremony but I wish he had a made a little effort. He keeps postponing his album so I guess his schedule is flexible!
Anyway… I hope to see them together for the promo of XF eventually…
