I have spent some time in this industry, 9 years to be precise and I have come to accept the fact that celebrity marriages do not last.
It’s an unwritten rule of some sorts in the industry. People don’t expect a celebrity’s marriage to last the distance. Also the chances of having a long and fulfilling marriage is drastically reduced when it involves a power couple.
Why don’t celebrity marriages work? Why do they fall in such a short time? As I type this, the stories of AY’s rumoured marriage troubles are reverberating all around in the industry.
We
see these pretty picture perfect Instagram pictures and somehow we
think that a snapshot depicts a fairy tale love affair. We are wrong
most of the time. A picture is a picture and not a pigeon hole.
I think celebrity
marriages do not work because of ambition and indiscipline. I am not
married but from seeing many celebrity marriages crumbling a pattern can
be noticed.
Love is all about sacrifice. If you
can’t sacrifice your ambitions, dreams and goals for your partner then
it’s best you do not get married. Love is about compromise and many
celebrities do not want to compromise their careers for anyone even for
their partners. And when this happens it is more than likely a career
would crumble.
Think of a hot
married actor who lands the role of a lifetime and it involves him to be
in a steamy hot sex scene with a notorious female actress. Chances are
his wife would be pissed about this role, but in reality the role would
further boost his career. If the guy values his marriage, he won’t take
the role. If he values his career more he would snap up the role. Many
celebrities get married without really assessing the value they place on
their marriages.
Having an ambition is not a bad
thing, but if ambition is not tamed it could end the marriage itself.
Also celebrities are also egotistical, and egos are bad for marriages.
Most celebrities can’t separate their public persona from their private
personality. In a marriage I guess it pays to be kinda humble and all
but some celebs can’t remove that cloak.
When it
comes to indiscipline, a lot of celebrities fall under this. Vows are
scared for a reason, but you find out that after the wedding day it’s
back to the same old business of sleeping and whoring around. This
applies to both male and female celebrities.
Adultery is huge in the Nigerian entertainment industry. In DJ Khaled’s voice “it’s booming!”
No matter how hard you think you are, you eventually get tired of your
spouse having sex outside. It’s a messed up situation but it’s the
reality out there. This is probably the biggest reason why celebrity
marriages don’t last. When a celebrity marriage crashes adultery is most
likely the reason.
The spotlight is harsh on
celebrities and when they get married many also make the mistake of
allowing the spotlight to be on their marriage. M.I Abaga who has a very private love relationship with a beauty queen during an interview on Pulse TV
said love is a real and deep emotion and when you put it into the
celebrity lifestyle which is make belief it won’t last because they are
two opposites.
Celebrity marriages don’t last
because they don’t have a long shelf life naturally. The funny thing is
that marriages everywhere are failing. There are a lot of people of in
sad marriages but not everyone is bold enough to call it quits. Why
celebrities get out of marriages so often is that they have the ego to
do it. To hell with it.
Happily ever afters do not happen with celebrity marriages. They have quick expiry dates. The ones that do survive are rare.
