why don't most celebrity marrages last?

Answer 1

Career demands, jealousy, living in the limelight constantly, getting married for the wrong reasons (publicity), the ease of divorce.

Answer 2

Because to be a celebrity, you most likely have a narcissitic or hedonistic personality, which doesn't really fare well for most people in the long run. Plus celebrities know that as fame grows, there is always someone richer, better looking, and more famous around the corner. It's not a marriage to them after awhile, it's more of a business deal, and the contract can be breached for a price they are willing to pay.

Answer 3

I'm not a celebrity with a failed marriage, so I can only speculate.

I figure that a lack of quality time together due to hectic schedules is one thing. They tend to lead fast-paced lives, so I guess they fall out of love as quickly as they fall in love. Living a fast life wouldn't make it too easy to settle down.

Money can be an issue. Lack of privacy. It's obvious that many celebrities have roaming eyes. They have everything and so they get what they want when they want it, even if it's the baby's nanny...

I'm sure it also doesn't help that they love themselves more than they could ever love anyone else.

Answer 4

Heres all the secrets of celebrity marriages that do last...


WE'VE all seen the big-news breakups. What we don't always pay as much attention to--because they don't get the celebrated coverage--are the successful marriages, the enduring ones, the ones that have lasted despite the pressures, the temptations, the ups and downs. There really are a number of Black celebrity couples on both the East and West coasts who are bucking the trend, flipping the script. In fact, some of the biggest celebrity names may be making news quietly simply by making marriage last. What is the secret of their success?

Family time is key. That's why Denzel Washington hies to negotiate weekends off during his demanding filming schedules so that he can spend quality time with Pauletta, his wife of 22 years, and their four children. For choreographer-actor-director Debbie Allen and former hoop star hubby Norm Nixon, Sunday often is reserved for walking on the beach at Malibu, reading the papers, talking to their two kids. As Norm has commented, he and Debbie were friends long before they realized they had fallen in love. Award-winning songwriter Nick Ashford agrees that holding on to thai friendship keeps the door open to so much more that can keep a relationship strong. "Beyond the love, we have an immense friendship and that's necessary," he has said of his nearly 30-year marriage to Valerie Simpson, his star songwriting partner. "You have to have somebody to talk to. To share your deepest emotions and thoughts with. When you can be tremendous pressure on relationships. Beyond that, in the make-believe world of celebrity status, where time is measured by a TV season, or a concert tour, or post-season play, personal relationships too often are the first casualty when the applause ends, the curtain comes down, and the Hollywood-style fantasies go pool. "A lot of people still confuse the roles they are playing with who they are, and that is the biggest mistake," Dr. Hare notes. That is because so many have failed to hone the survival skills of couples like Samuel L. Jackson and LaTanya Richardson, who have been married for 24 years, including the hard start-up days, struggles that gave them strength--not just as they built their acting careers, but also as they tried desperately to free him of his early drug and alcohol problems. "I made a promise to God that I would be there," LaTanya has said. "I wasn't going to let him die."

Pressure can form a strong bond. "One of the things I appreciate more was how important struggle was as the instrument that helped to keep us knit together," notes Ossie Davis, whose long marriage to Ruby Dee is the "gold standard" for celebrity endurance.

Answer 5

Because they do not know what real love is..They get married when they are still in the newness stage..With out being together long enough to know if they really love each other.. Also they have so much money that they actually feel that their relationship is either going to be perfect or they will move on....If you ask me they think life is suppose to be this one long easy ride!

Answer 6

It's a lot of pressure. I've seen magazines where analysts look at photographs and say "clearly she wears the pants because her left foot is in front of his". It's ridiculous, having every detail of their relationship combed over by all of America, not many people could handle hearing millions of opinions like that every day.

Answer 7

the public is to much in there lives . also normal people live withere there husband an wives celebritys stay away for shots an stuff an tours an thats when everything happens

Answer 8

They jump into it like it's nothing.
They let the limelight bring pressure in their relationship.
They are competing with each other too much.
There is some jealous when one spouse gets all the publicity and the other doesn't.

Answer 9

they are not really in love.. its just attraction. they can go without having any relationship for years but when they act in a movie together and there is a love scene in it.... wham! they say they have fallen in love the next day. just look at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Jolie and Brad Pitt

Answer 10

because their private life is in the media spot light too much and can be a huge pressure on a marriage.
the papparazzi should leave them alone and not pry into their personal lives so much
