We all know Hollywood to be a hit or miss in the marriage world, with divorce rates skyrocketing amongst celebrity couples. What makes it so difficult to maintain a healthy marriage as a celebrity? Here are some of the most common reasons as to why celebrities divorce:
- Economic Support– Celebrities are rich, and in turn this gives them an exponential amount of opportunity to travel, shop, start a business, etc. This ability acts as a steady foundation after splitting with someone as there are continual possibilities for their future.
- Reality– Celebrities have crushes on one another and create an illusionof their crush’s image in the media. When they actually meet their crush reality hits, and that person is not who they expected nor wanted, and this becomes unavoidable in marriage.
- Busy Schedule– Actors, models, and artists all travel often and can spend months away from home. One celebrity may want to settle down with their kids, or the two have such conflicting schedules that a lack of time hinders spending time with one another.
- Temptation– Temptation is high as a celebrity, and actors and actresses are required to kiss people in movies or singers are required to dance with people on stage. They begin to crave that passion again and go after new excitements. Additionally celebrities are constantly hit on.
- Age difference– Statistical data shows that less age gaps between a married couple result in a healthier and more long-lasting marriage.
So given the reasons why celebrity couples have consistent divorce rates, how do celebrities maintain long-lasting marriages with their spouse? Here’s a list of celebrity couples who shared how they sustain their marriage.

There will be bruises, joys and pains, but that is the reality of marriage, it is challenging.
