Till Fame Do Us Part: Why Celebrity Marriages Are Doomed to Fail

The sheer volume of opportunity also contributes to the pattern of remarriage. Celebrities have access to a vast pool of potential partners, all of whom are often highly attractive and successful in their own right. They are constantly meeting new people and being introduced to a new circle of friends and colleagues, each with a different set of expectations and desires. This constant stream of options can make it easy to give up on a struggling relationship, as there is always a new, exciting possibility on the horizon. The mindset becomes one of "if this doesn't work, there's always someone else," which undermines the commitment and hard work necessary to sustain a long-term marriage. This a-la-carte approach to relationships makes it much more likely that a person will try marriage multiple times, seeking a perfect fit that may not exist.
