Not everything that glitters is gold, and some celebrities have learned this the hard way. It’s a well-known fact that celebrity divorce rates are higher than those of the general public. A study by the UK-based organization Marriage Foundation analyzed 572 A-list couples and found that celebrity marriages have a divorce rate of 40% after 10 years, compared to 20% for non-famous couples.
“Our research confirms that the glamour of celebrity weddings is a poor indicator of future marital success,” the study concludes.
In some cases, the stars have admitted that they were too young to marry. In others, they said the decision to tie the knot was made to resolve deeper issues in the relationship.
