why is there so much celebrity divorce? Is there some kind of celebrity curse that we're not aware of, or does it seem to occur more frequently in celebrities because their lives are so public?
It seems like every other day, we're reading about another celebrity couple who once seemed so in love breaking up. Whether it's Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, or Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson, these are couples who seem to have it all but can't make the relationship work. And it seems to happen all the time.

"Celebrity couples are more likely to divorce or separate," Alessandra Conti, celebrity matchmaker at Matchmakers In The City, told Elite Daily. "Many high-profile people are quick to jump into relationships," she says, adding, "the saying 'you're only at the top' holds a lot of truth."
5 reasons for divorce between celebrities

1. They enter into relationships too hastily.
If you rushed into a relationship quickly, you probably already know that they don't tend to work out exactly how you would have hoped, and according to Conti, getting hooked quickly is common in Hollywood. “I have worked with many public figures who are successful but feel something is missing in their lives.
They have realized many of their dreams, but they still feel an emptiness, ”says Conti. However, if they are not careful, they can jump into a romantic relationship too quickly, only to realize that the person they are in love with does not have qualities that are compatible for a long-term partnership."
2. There is an intense amount of pressure on celebrity relationships
Unlike your average non-celebrity couple, celebrities are constantly being watched, scrutinized, judged, and even followed. Unless very carefully concealed, no inadvertent secrets, bad days, or momentary breakdowns are allowed without being exploited, exposed, and consumed by the media, fans, and haters.
3. They, personally, are under a lot of stress.
There's a lot to envy about the celebrity lifestyle, but it's also very stressful, and stress can be a real relationship killer, whether you're a celebrity or not. As Dr. Claudia Luiz, psychoanalyst and author of The Making of a Psychoanalyst, explains: “They already often live in a pressure cooker.
People with them not only have a responsibility to their audience, but also to their business, which can employ hundreds of people. Between high visibility and responsibility, it doesn't make sense for them to tolerate a lot of conflict and spend time processing their emotions. They need clarity quickly, and often this means parting amicably.”
4. They have less financial pressure to stay together
Getting divorced is especially expensive. Whether you're paying lawyers or even just the expense of moving, it's a real waste of resources. As a result, regular couples have more financial pressure to make the relationship work.
Celebrities, on the other hand, as Dr. Luiz explains, are not under the same financial or family constraints. "Kids are often raised with the help of many nannies, and there's wealth, there's less practical reason to keep it," she says.
5. There are more temptations and opportunities to stray
While we don't like to think that our favorite celebrity couples would cheat on each other, the reality is that famous people face much more temptation and it's shown as a reason for celebrity divorce
