For a lot of people, taking your relationship to the next level with your S.O. means also making it ~official~ on social media. But if you don't want to let the world know that you're off the market just yet—you're not obliged to do so, anyway!—you can always just do a soft launch online.
ICYDK, soft launching a relationship means that you're letting the people in your life know that you're off the market—without the full-blown Instagram couple post. This can come in the form of a picture of your S.O.'s silhouette, or maybe a photo of your hands clasped together. There are many ways to go about this, but if you need more inspo, turn to these Gen Z celebs who have teased their relationships with their partner on social media.

How To Soft Launch Your Relationship On IG, As Seen On Gen Z Celebs
1. Having your S.O. *partially* cover their face as you take a picture of them is a classic soft launch picture. You reveal just enough to have people on their toes!
2. Keep people guessing by only taking a picture of your hands clasped together. Bonus points if you guys have a cute couple tattoo!
3. We love this ~*subtle*~ relationship flex by Bobby Ray Parks Jr. and Zeinab Harake—it's definitely one way to show that you're both off the market without revealing your faces.
4. We're loving the way Belle Mariano shows that she's with love team partner Donny Pangilinan by uploading this cute picture of them with their backs facing the camera. You can't see their faces, but we know it's them!
5. If you don't want something that immediately gives away the identity of your partner, go for a closeup of their face that shows off your fave feature of theirs. For instance, Mavy Legaspi took a picture of his finger poking Kyline Alcantara's dimple—so adorbs!
6. If you're both beach bums, then you'll love the way Juliana Gomez decided to show her followers that she's ~off the market~. This picture of her jumping into the water while holding hands with her non-showbiz boyfriend Miggy Bautista is too cute for words!
7. Remember when Maris Racal broke the internet when she gave the public a hint of her relationship with Rico Blanco by posting this side-view shot of him? It's a classic soft launch pic!
