Why Do Celebrity Marriages Seem to Always Gravitate to Divorce?

Posted By The Graves Law Firm || 10-Mar-2017

Think of any celebrity married couple and you have probably also thought of a couple that has divorced, or will eventually. From famous celebrity divorce cases that caught the nation’s attention, like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, to the most recent entries on the “not-happily-ever-after” list, like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, it does seem that celebrities are divorcing at a rate even higher than the already-dramatic 50% divorce rate experienced by the rest of the country. But why is that? What is it about stardom that apparently makes a marriage so hard to maintain?

Outside Pressures from Society

“Heavy is the head that wears the crown.” This phrase used to be reserved for monarchy but nowadays it applies more to celebrities. Getting to the top of Hollywood means being under the judging eyes of peers and the public at all times. When a celebrity makes a mistake, they are heavily scrutinized and condemned. When a celebrity does something right, they are still going to be lambasted by one group or another.

All of the consistent pressure to be perfect has been known to wear down on the best of celebrities in a variety of ways. While some turn to drug use or outright leave the United States for a year or two, others undoubtedly take the negativity and inadvertently turn it towards their loving spouse. If a celebrity is married to another celebrity, the damage can be doubled. With this in mind, it is almost a surprise some high-profile celebrity marriages last even a couple months.

With the public’s constant watch on celebrities, it is also worth noting that the celebrity divorce rate might appear to be so high since we get wind of virtually every single divorce that is filed. Half of your neighborhood might be filing for divorce right now but you wouldn’t know – and probably wouldn’t care – since those people are out of plain sight, enjoying their private lives. Celebrities don’t really have that luxury, so when things go south, we all find out sooner than later.

Egos & Entitlement

To live comfortably in the lime light, it takes a certain amount of self-confidence and ego. After all, if everyone around you told you daily that you were the best under the sun, you’d start to believe it, too. You might even start to feel entitled to the finer things in life and shy away from sharing.

It certainly cannot be said that all celebrities give into pride, it can safely be said that many of them do. As marriage counselors from coast-to-coast can attest, pride is poison to a healthy relationship when it comes in large doses. Once again, marriages that include two famous people, a destructive pride-versus-pride competition can become seated in the home, making the marriage almost destined to fail.
