Yeah, I get this. I still like when guys say loving and complimentary stuff about their wives often. I think it's great when anybody is openly admiring or proud of their partner. But you're also not wrong that talk is cheap. Completely apart from the issue of faithfulness, I think being complimentary in a way that one's partner is aware of can be an easy, low-effort way for someone to get away with not pulling their weight in the relationship--especially in het relationships where the division of domestic labor (both practical and emotional) already tends to skew heavily towards the woman.

And when it's famous people saying this stuff in interviews and such, then there's the whole other element of it that's about optics. A famous man being really appreciative of his wife is a pretty guaranteed way for him to make himself popular with a significant percentage of a female audience, and won't generally alienate him from a male audience as long as he knows how to phrase things. I'm not saying I think famous men who talk about how great their wives are are consciously aiming to manipulate people into giving them "woke king" cookies and giving them the benefit of the doubt more readily if they mess up in some way. But that often is the benefit they reap from doing it, and I doubt that they are completely unaware of that.
