As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian are engaged after a whirlwind, random-as-hell courtship of less than three months.
Despite the complications caused by the fact that Rob’s sister is dating Blac’s baby daddy, it wasn’t hard to see what the two twenty-somethings saw in each other.
Blac is a curvy Instagram model and a household name in some circles.
Rob is a member of one of America’s most famous families, flush with cash, and loaded with fixer-up potential.
We figured Blac is the type who likes a challenge, and that these two would help each other out for a few months, post a bunch of nauseatingly cutesy crap on social media, and go their separate ways.
When news of the engagement first began to circulate online, many on social media dismissed it as another publicity stunt from the celebrity world’s most unashamedly thirsty couple.
When Blac confirmed the news, the conversation switched to “what the hell are these two thinking?”
Sure they’re young, but not “engaged after ten weeks” young.
Rob will be 30 next year, and Blac, 27, is the mother of a 3-year-old.
Given that Rob was in a pitiable state when he met Blac and will enjoy the benefits of fabulous wealth and at least a modicum of fame for the rest of his life, many began to wonder if Blac had ulterior motives.
After all, when they these two started dating, Rob was a recluse who seemed to be slowly killing himself with food, drugs, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Despite his wealth and fame, his self-esteem, by all accounts, was in the gutter.
For the right opportunist, Rob was ripe for the picking, and considering Blac’s fame has been primarily Kardashian-related for most of her career (She was friends with Kim before feuding with Kylie.), it’s hard to believe the fringe benefits of dating Rob never crossed her mind.
Already there’s talk of a Rob and Blac reality show, and a special wedding episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
Not bad for a woman who was best known for trading shots with a teenager just a few months ago.
There’s no solid evidence that Blac is into Rob for his fame and wealth, or that getting married was her idea; we just hope the man is going into this situation with both eyes open.
