The couple, who had been dating for just a couple of months, announced their engagement just one month before their wedding.
From the beginning, just about everyone suspected that their relationship was just a (very smart and effective) publicity stunt.
it’s not. i’m engaged. holy fuck. https://t.co/dNIvGfOch1
On the day of her wedding, Tana revealed in a vlog that she and Jake wouldn't be legally married "because I think that legally binding yourself to someone takes away the love. Like, it's just unnecessary."
BUT, in that very same video, she said that despite "making a lot of jokes about doing it for clout," their relationship was very real.

Jake and Tana announced their breakup in January, five months after getting married.
So in the iconic words of Oprah Winfrey, I ask you, what is the truth?!

In a new interview with ET, Jake seemingly cleared the air and gave us the answers we didn't know we needed.

"It's awesome to be able to build a relationship off-camera without Hollywood, [away from] all the critics and fans and drama," he said, referring to his new relationship with model Julia Rose.
"How do I say this? It was not... Listen, we all do things sometimes, and sometimes you end up getting fake married. I'll leave it at that," he concluded.
