When it comes to the world of Hollywood, many A-list stars have found themselves in some of the most talked-about relationships, however, just how real are they? Considering publicity stunts are quite common in the entertainment business, many of these "relationships" have been called out by fans as pure PR stunts.

We have seen films take advantage of PR stunts before, so it's no surprise that countless celebs follow suit when it comes to their very, and we mean very public romances. Fans once called out the romance between Shawn Mendes and Hailey Bieber (then Baldwin) as a publicity stunt, considering she was engaged to the Biebs only weeks after their "break up".
