The likes of Jeniffer Lopez and Ben Affleck, Cardi B and Offset, AY Makun and Mabel, Yul Edochie and May,Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia, Christina Hall and Josh Hall and the list continues. What were once seen as fairy tale romances are now falling apart before our very own eyes, leaving fans wondering why this is happening so often. Most of these marriages become so public that the couple would want to maintain a certain level of glamour and excitement, especially in the age of social media where they share their love stories with the world. This new trend divorce therefore shows that even celebrities with seemingly perfect lives are also struggling with their marriages. Let’s explore why some of these high-profile marriages are falling apart.

Meeting Expectations:

When a relationship is constantly in the public's eye, there is usually some kind of pressure to maintain a certain image or standard. Most of the time, these celebrity couples always want to constantly present their relationship as perfect, which can be exhausting and unrealistic. The pressure to live up to the expectation of fans worldwide can create strain and lead to dissatisfaction, ultimately causing the relationship to unravel.

Cheating:

Repeated cheating can be very damaging especially in the world of celebrity relationships, where every move is watched and every detail is exposed. The marriage between Cardi B and Offset is a clear example of how serial infidelity can lead to the end of even the most high-profile couples. Their relationship, plagued by multiple cheating scandals from Cardi B's husband Offset, shows why repeated betrayals often cause celebrity marriages to fall apart. Note that Cardi B, the famous rapper, and Offset, a well-known member of the rap group Migos, seemed to have a perfect romance. They secretly married in 2017, but their marriage has been consistently troubled by Offset's repeated cheating, which has been widely publicized and put a lot of stress on their relationship.

Demands of Fame and Career:

For many celebrities, their careers demands so much amount of time and energy, which consequently leads to long periods of separation from their partners. The travel schedules, promotional events, and filming commitments can leave little time for maintaining a relationship. This distance can weaken the bond between partners, causing feelings of neglect and isolation.

Pressure to Maintain a Public Image:

The intense media scrutiny and the need to manage public personas and personal issues can greatly strain a relationship. Look at the case of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s marriage which was highly publicized and scrutinized, ending in divorce in 2021. This is because West’s public behavior and personal struggles, combined with Kardashian’s high-profile career, created significant challenges for their marriage.
