\nWith the recent breakup and subsequent make up (thank god!) of Halsey and G-Eazy making headlines, another hip-hop\/pop star celebrity couple flew under the radar. I’m talking about Lauren Jauregui & Ty Dolla $ign. If you haven\u2019t been paying attention to these two, then it’s time to get up to speed on Lauren Jauregui and Ty Dolla Sign’s body language and love story, ASAP. This is one hugely talented, good looking, all-around adorable couple.
To help catch you up, here\u2019s some quick background on the couple. Rumors that these two were an item began flying after they worked together on Fifth Harmony\u2019s \u201cWork From Home\u201d (Lauren has since left the group, which went on indefinite hiatus) and they began making regular appearances on each other\u2019s social media. At first they refused to confirm the relationship, but, in October 2017, Ty made it official in a radio interview with Power 105.1 in New York City. When asked about Lauren and if they were together, Ty said, \u00a0\u00bb Just for you, I’ll say yes.\u201d
Since then, the couple appears to be happy and in love \u2014 and they aren’t afraid to express it on social media. Like when Lauren wrote \u201c shout out to my amazingly loving, talented, thoughtful, love bug of a man. You are such a light in my life and I\u2019m so grateful for you and it\u2019s an excuse to tell u that online so happy #NationalBoyfriendDay @tydollasign.\u00a0\u00bb Ty retweeted and replied, \u201c I love you with my whole soul! So grateful to be able to call u mine my heart.\u00a0\u00bb Aww.
While I appreciate Lauren and Ty being so open about their love, I still can\u2019t help but want to know a little more about their relationship dynamic. To help get more insight, I reached out to Traci Brown, body language expert and author of Persuasion Point: Body Language and Speech for Influence. With a couple that is so open about their mutual affection, surely their body language is lit too, right? Well, that’s where things get a little strange. Brown analyzed photos of them taken over the course of their relationship and what she sees is\u2026 super surprising.
In this first image, taken at French Montana\u2019s birthday party about a month after the couple had officially confirmed they were together, you might expect a couple that is deep in the honeymoon phase and openly affectionate. However, what Brown sees is a more aloof and disconnected demeanor. \u201cThis is an interesting shot mostly because his chin is up so much,\u201d Brown tells Elite Daily, explaining that this body language indicates that \u201che thinks he’s better than someone around.\u201d
In this selfie, which Ty posted to his Insta with a heart emoji, we see the couple getting up close and cuddly. However, despite their proximity, Brown still sees a strange disconnect in their body language \u2014 particularly their faces. \u201cThey’re tight and close here but mostly expressionless,\u201d explains Brown, but adds it\u2019s \u201cnot the kind of thing I’d think people would put out there if they are super excited to be together.\u201d
Here we see Ty and Lauren at the #REVOLVE festival, and while they look adorable together (Lauren\u2019s sunglasses are everything), Brown is again struck by the aloofness in both of their faces. \u201cHere they are again expressionless,\u201d she says, while also pointing to they way their feet are positioned as further evidence of something being off about their body language. \u201cTheir feet are just barely pointing toward each other so their focus isn’t on each other, it’s more on the cameras,\u201d Brown says.
In this image, taken at NYLON’s Annual Rebel Fashion Party in NYC, Brown points out that a pattern has formed, and that their body language makes it seem as if they are unhappy. But mostly, Brown focuses on the way that Ty\u2019s arm is draped over Lauren saying, \u201cThat’s not a hug. That’s control.\u201d Yikes.
In this final image, taken almost a year after the couple first confirmed they were officially together, Brown finally sees something a bit more revealing in Ty\u2019s face, saying \u201chere we see a touch of emotion from him. His eyes are almost smiling, but he couldn’t quite get it to go to his mouth.\u201d In Lauren, however, Brown points out that she still remains emotionless, saying she looks like \u201cshe\u2019s given up trying.\u201d Again, Brown focuses on the placement of their feet, saying \u201cthey’re just not giving each other much energy.\u201d
Are you as confused as I am right now? The way these two love to gush about one another publicly is in direct contrast to what their body language is saying. And I’m not the only one who\u2019s confused. When asked for an overall analysis of the couple\u2019s dynamic, Brown said, \u201cSeems like real happiness is missing with these two \u2014 or they’re doing their best to show off their \u2018I don’t care’ brand.\u201d Brown adds, in conclusion, \u201cMy official analysis: Weird.\u201d
It’s very possible that Lauren and Ty pose this way to give off a ~chill~ vibe, especially given that they’re so expressive of their love for each other on social media. As Brown says, their \u00ab\u00a0‘I don’t care brand'\u00a0\u00bb might be more important during photo-ops than trying to exude a lovey-dovey feeling. It might be as simple as that they don’t feel totally comfy in front of the cameras together, and that’s OK.
Personally, I just can’t help but be an optimist when it comes to matters of the heart. So, I’m going to keep hope alive and hope these two continue to make beautiful music together \u2014 both figuratively and literally.
