Why do celebrities marry? (Heidi Klum files for divorce)
Re: Why do celebrities marry? (Heidi Klum files for divorce)
This is not directly towards Heidi and Seal but towards Hollywood in general but I really value marriage, and it's disheartening to see celebrities marry and break up so easily. (Okay, easily is not the best word to use.)
I also understand that babies outside of marriage happen. However, part of me wishes it didn't. Or at least it wasn't so common among celebs.
I agree that marrying someone outside the business could be beneficial. I appreciate when I don't hear about the private life of a celeb. Tom Hanks, for example. I just googled him to find out his dog passed away. Other than that, there aren't many articles about him. He is successful but not always in the limelight. I love that.
-- And I sometimes like when you find out that some celebrity got married over the weekend (but you knew they were engaged) in a private location. They didn't want media coverage but they want fans to know they're happily married.
It's not just celebrities. Normal people have short marriages all the time.Babies outside of marriage are going to happen. Why do you wish it didn't?
Oh yes, I totally agree. Divorce rates are higher than marriage rates nowadays. As far as celebrities/normal people, I mentioned celebs because they're on the news and crap.
I always liked the idea of mom, dad, and kids. Now there's step mom, half-siblings, etc. Part of me likes "blended families" but I rarely saw it growing up and now it's the norm.
*Even though I like the idea of mom+dad & kids, I do know that some families are better off without that. I don't like the "staying together for the kids" argument. I really don't have much of an opinion because the closest thing to any of this would be that DH's parents are divorced (and it turned out best for him).
No idea. This also makes me wonder why some parents allow their children to get married (ex: senior year of HS a girl married her Army dude and divorced within 2 years, then married another Army dude. Her parents had to sign because she was under 18 when she married the first guy).
I agree with Megamuff that it's everyone; not just celebs. DH and I were just talking the other day about how we know more people IRL who have been divorced than people whose marriages have lasted, unfortunately. But it happens.
I know what you mean about being a little disappointed though. Heidi and Seal always seemed like a good couple and have been together for a while so it's a shame. That said, I'm not losing sleep over it or anything, lol.
And why did this woman marry the Eiffel Tower?

I feel like that relationship is so one-sided. It's bound to end in divorce!
That sucks! I really did like them together. However, if this is what they want, I'd say after almost 7 years they're at least making an informed decision. It's not like Brittany's 72-hour marriage.
But for the record, if Danny DeVito and Rhea Pearlman get a divorce, I'm throwing up my hands and losing all hope.
hahahhahahahhahahahahah
I heart you.
