Celebs Who Were Only In Relationships To Further Their Careers

May 2024 · 2 minute read

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna were the subjects of E!'s Rob & Chyna in 2016. Before the reality show's final television special — where they'd welcome their newborn Dream — Rob said Chyna took his daughter, captioning a now-deleted Instagram post (via USA Today), "I'm pretty upset," adding, "I wanna be with my baby... And this isn't for some ratings, this is my real life." The timing makes us wonder, as Rob tweeted a promo for their television special hours before the drama, and the couple reunited less than two weeks afterward.

In March 2017, InTouch reported that a source close to the Kardashian family revealed, "Rob had agreed to have a fake relationship with Chyna because his momager, Kris Jenner, got E! to pay him over $2 million to do a show" and Chyna was "desperate to be as famous as [the] Kardashians." In July 2017, they permanently split after Rob publicly accused Chyna of infidelity during his "revenge porn" saga. Chyna then filed a lawsuit against the Kardashians for using their "power and influence over the E! network to kill the second season" of Rob & Chyna (via TMZ).

In May 2019, on The Wendy Williams Show, Chyna expressed interest to get married, have two more kids, and return to reality television, but when Wendy Williams asked if she'd be open to hooking back up with Rob, Chyna kept it 100, saying, "no."
