REASONS WHY CELEBRITY MARRIAGES FAIL MOST TIMES

It is well known that celebrity unions do not endure. Why? This editorial provides some insight into this phenomena.

After working in this field for nine years, to be exact, I have learned to accept the reality that celebrity marriages do not last.

It’s sort of an unwritten norm in the business. People don’t anticipate a celebrity couple’s marriage to endure. Additionally, when a power couple is involved, the likelihood of having a long and happy marriage is significantly diminished.

Why don’t celebrity unions succeed? Why do they plummet in a matter of seconds? The rumors of AY’s alleged marital problems are resonating around the business as I type this.

We somehow mistakenly believe that a single Instagram photo shows a fairy tale romance when we see these lovely picture-perfect images. We frequently make mistakes. An image is an image and cannot be categorised.

I believe that ambition and indiscipline are to blame for celebrity marriages failing. Although I am not married, a pattern can be seen in the breakdown of many celebrity marriages.

Love is all about giving up things. It’s preferable to avoid being married if you can’t give up your aspirations, desires, and objectives for your spouse.

Love is involves making sacrifices, yet many famous people don’t want to give up their jobs for anyone, let alone their relationships. And when this occurs, a career would probably collapse.

Think of a hot married actor who lands the role of a lifetime and it involves him to be in a steamy hot sex scene with a notorious female actress. Chances are his wife would be pissed about this role, but in reality the role would further boost his career.

If the guy values his marriage, he won’t take the role. If he values his career more he would snap up the role. Many celebrities get married without really assessing the value they place on their marriages.

Having an ambition is not a bad thing, but if ambition is not tamed it could end the marriage itself. Also celebrities are also egotistical, and egos are bad for marriages.

Most celebrities can’t separate their public persona from their private personality. In a marriage I guess it pays to be kinda humble and all but some celebs can’t remove that cloak.

When it comes to indiscipline, a lot of celebrities fall under this. Vows are scared for a reason, but you find out that after the wedding day it’s back to the same old business of sleeping and whoring around. This applies to both male and female celebrities.

Adultery is huge in the Nigerian entertainment industry. In DJ Khaled’s voice “it’s booming!” No matter how hard you think you are, you eventually get tired of your spouse having sex outside.

It’s a messed up situation but it’s the reality out there. This is probably the biggest reason why celebrity marriages don’t last. When a celebrity marriage crashes adultery is most likely the reason.

The spotlight is harsh on celebrities and when they get married many also make the mistake of allowing the spotlight to be on their marriage.

M.I Abaga who has a very private love relationship with a beauty queen during an interview on Pulse TV said love is a real and deep emotion and when you put it into the celebrity lifestyle which is make belief it won’t last because they are two opposites.

Celebrity marriages don’t last because they don’t have a long shelf life naturally. The funny thing is that marriages everywhere are failing. There are a lot of people of in sad marriages but not everyone is bold enough to call it quits.

Why celebrities get out of marriages so often is that they have the ego to do it. To hell with it.

Happily ever afters do not happen with celebrity marriages. They have quick expiry dates. The ones that do survive are rare.
