Why Celebrities Break Up More Often

Not every relationship is the same. Every couple, whether they are celebrities or regular folks like you and me, has to go through their own set of ups and downs. So why is it that when we see a new Hollywood couple's dating or marriage gossip in the tabloids, we automatically assume they might break up in the near future? Does that have anything to do with the fact that we have witnessed countless celebrity break ups, and are somehow sure that the relationship will end in some time? Even though the answers may seem believable and quite frankly, true to a certain level, celebrity relationships are more likely to end up badly.

If you don't believe me, think about the celebrity breakups stats for a second. In United States, as more and more couples bind themselves in holy matrimony, the divorce rates are rising as well; close to 50%. However, when we talk about celebrity marriages, that number rises at an astounding 70 to 80%; quite a huge difference when you think about it. Nearly everyday, we read and watch news on a new celebrity hookup and/or breakup. Now, I'm not saying that all those paparazzi news are accurate or faulty. However, they do seem to bring forth the uncertain personal lives of the celebrities. No matter what we do or think about their personal love lives, we will witness perhaps many more famous celebrity couples following the road to much-publicized breakups. But that still doesn't answer our question on why celebrity couples break up in the first place. If I'm not being too bold into saying this, but I have some theories in mind which I would love to share with you all.

Reasons for Short-lived Celebrity Marriages and Courtships

As of November 2011, the latest and most popular celebrity break up is that of newlywed Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries. The entire world witnessed their 'very public' union (which lasted 72 days) and news of their split. However big of a shock this latest celebrity news may be, there were some skeptics who predicted just that. But the point is, how is it possible that more and more celebrities are either separating or giving each other a divorce. Surely there has to be some explanation to this. Is there?

Constantly Away Due to Work Commitments
Since we are talking about celebrities, it's obvious to point out that their work keeps them on their toes, at all times. Right from filming for movies, television shows, or any other work commitments, spending time with one another can be difficult. When career is put before a relationship, due to hectic schedule, things can get a bit messy. Needless to say, this can bring about instances of infidelity, boredom, insecurity, etc. (it's quite common). When being away becomes a regular ordeal, stretching the relationship can seem pointless. And thus, the decision to 'end it all' pops in.

Wanted a Wedding, Not the Marriage
For those married celebrity couples who decide to part ways, their ideology of getting married is to live in the dreamland. Let me explain in detail. When a celebrity couple decides to get married, a possible reason could be that they are attracted towards the idea of a gorgeous wedding day. However, when that day passes, marriage becomes a full-time job. The idea of living a normal married life, as compared to a dream celebrity wedding-marriage, becomes too much to handle. Not wanting to endure the responsibilities and make some sacrifices that are included, many celebrity couples simply panic and want to quit.

The Laws of Attraction Changed
It happens to many of us; same can be said about our celebrity couples. What once felt like a deep, physical attraction, now it has taken a course of fizzling away. Losing interest from the 'object of desire' is very common and that can be one of the reasons of celebrity breakups. It may sound selfish to some of you, but think about it logically. This can happen to anyone of us as well. It isn't just that celebrities are prone towards this fate.
