I am going to be one of those people who don't believe in the Willmack divorce narry lol
Point 1: During the exit interviews, Will mentioned that he and Mack are considering training in Boston and Vancouver for a week each. Of course, Will Smith the planner already has their schedules mapped out. (Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if all his hangouts with friends are scheduled in Google Calendar too.) Based on the timeline, I’m guessing the training starts sometime in July, which means that’s probably when they’ll see each other again.
Point 2: There isn’t really a reason for Will to fly all the way to Vancouver just for Mack’s birthday. Hear me out: that’s a five/six-hour flight just to wish him a happy birthday and have dinner together. Then what? Fly straight back to Boston afterward? What else would he even be doing in Vancouver when they’ve already talked about their offseason plans, including when they’d be visiting each other’s hometowns and probably what they’d be doing together? There are also plenty of other possible explanations for why he’s not there. Maybe: 1) Mack has a family trip planned for his birthday, 2) Mack already has plans with friends in Vancouver, or 3) Mack simply has other commitments for his birthday.
Point 3: I think people are putting way more importance on birthdays than Will and Mack probably do. Plenty of people celebrate with their friends and family before or after the actual day because of travel, work, or other commitments. I’ve done it myself. Will and Mack can always celebrate when they see each other again. I feel like the expectation comes from Will and Mack being together on Will’s birthday, but relationships don’t operate on a birthday-for-birthday exchange system 😭
Point 4: Guys, it would honestly be weirder if Will and Mack were constantly hounding each other’s attention both during the season and the offseason 😭. As much as we joke about them being co-dependent, there comes a point where that wouldn’t be healthy anymore. They’re allowed to spend time with other people, especially their family and friends whom they barely get to see during the season. We can RPF all we want and speculate about whether they’re dating or not, but even if they are (or aren’t), their entire worlds don’t revolve around each other.
And that doesn’t make them any less close, or make whatever relationship they have any less meaningful. That just means they have lives outside of each other, which is exactly what we’d want for them. Healthy relationships leave room for family, friends, personal interests, and time apart.
Point 5: I also don’t think Will’s TikTok is him being shady or sending some hidden message. It’s literally the Finals game. That’s probably all there is to it. For all we know, he could’ve already greeted Mack over FaceTime, texted him privately, or spent half the day yapping to him about whatever he’s planning to do in NYC. Not everything has to be public for it to happen.
So please, please avoid flooding his TikTok comments with Mack-related comments. That’s exactly the kind of thing that has made heavily shipped friends start distancing themselves from each other in the past. We can have our fun with RPF, but let’s keep it in RPF spaces and not bring it directly to the players’ social media 🙏🏻
