hard launch
Splashy relationship reveal
A hard launch is the public, official announcement of a romantic relationship, typically on social media—posting a photo together, tagging each other, making it unmistakably clear.
The term contrasts with a soft launch, where someone hints at a relationship without revealing their partner's identity.
They've been dating for months but she finally hard launched him on Instagram.
