4 Reasons Celebrity Couples Relationship Don't Last

Why is it that most celebrities succeed at everything else except
love and marriage ? They work their head off to build a career or
name for themselves yet they fail at keeping their relationship
working.
When news broke of the split between Miley Cyrus and Liam
Hemsworth, fans of the couple were heartbroken and mourned
the end of the love affair that seemed like love story from a
Disney movie. A few days , later news broke that Jamie Foxx and
Katie Holmes had separated.
A double heartbreak in just one week.
On the 8 th of August , Sonia Morales announced the official
separation between her and Ik Ogbonna – this was after rumours
and speculations that lasted for about a year . The marriage only
lasted about four years.

According to a study by the Marriage Foundation UK, celebrity
marriages crash at a rate twice that of regular marriages . So why
is it that celebrities fail at love and marriage ?
It’ s okay to admire celebrity couples , the glitz , the glamour , the
fun – many of which are a veneer for the ugly scenes that the
camera doesn’t show us. But more importantly , we should realise
that they are human too . They are fallible .
Hence we should learn from their mistakes :
Infidelity
Infidelity is one of the top reasons why many marriages (celebrity
or regular) fail .
It’ s almost difficult to stay faithful when you have an endless
number of admirers dying to be with you. There is always an
opportunity to cheat . Celebrities are under intense pressure , they
are surrounded by fame and money and some of the most
beautiful people – not many can resist that.
Time Apart
Celebrity couples often spend lots of time apart from each other ;
at project locations , events. They are engrossed in different
projects that make them spend less time with each other . It ’s quite
hard staying in love with someone who is unavailable , physically
and emotionally .
Emotion can be feeble . It’ s easy for them to slip out of feeling for
their partner and develop affection for someone else – especially
some new attention .
You know what they say about “ out of sight, is out of mind ”?
Ego / Jealousy
Celebrities are used to being the centre of attention . Some
prioritize their importance or need above that of their partner.
Jealousy can also creep in when one partner is more successful
than the other (especially if they are on the same career path).
One is getting all the love and endorsement , while the other is
barely scratching the surface.
Burned Out Attraction
Like we regular folks , celebs are humans too . We are susceptible
to strong emotions and dive headfirst , we go deep before we
realize what we are doing.
Many dive into marriage after a few good moments together
thinking it’ s till death do us part. They are so deep in love without
checking to see if they are compatible . They think the initial rush
is all it takes to stay in love – they burn out quickly. Ariana
Grande and Pete Davidson got engaged almost immediately after
their first date – they broke up in less than five months .
We must admit that celebs have a lot of people around and in
their lives – mostly mere fans or workers – who don ’t know them
beyond their status . They are humans too and crave real human
interaction beyond the screen , the glitz and glamour.
And when they meet with someone who connects with them on
that level, the attraction is instant . But does it last? Linda Ikeji fell
for Jeremi who didn’t know who she was – and that was a turn on
for her .
We all admire couples like Will and Jada Smith ; Olu Jacobs and
Joke Silva … but do we know what goes on behind the scenes?
This goes to show that every relationship , celebrities or not , needs
effort from both parties to make it work.
