Short Marriages, Expensive Alimonies, and Extensive Publicity: Celebrity Divorce 101
If you have been keeping tabs on the latest celebrity gossip, then you have probably heard about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s divorce. After seven years of marriage, Kardashian has filed for divorce from West. Believe it or not, though their marriage might seem short-lived to the average onlooker, it was actually one year longer than the average celebrity marriage, which lasts about six years.
According to a
study out of the U.K. based organization Marriage Foundation, celebrities have a divorce rate of around 40% within a ten-year period. For an average person, the divorce rate for the same ten-year period for a first marriage is 33%, according to a
report from the CDC on Cohabitation, Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage in the United States.

The study,
Celebrity Divorce: First and Second Marriages, looks at 484 celebrity couples whose marriages were covered in glossy magazines such as Hello and OK! between 2001-2010. It found that during the first 16 years of marriage, just over half (52 per cent) ended in divorce, compared with 31 per cent for non-celebrities.
Celebrity first marriages fare worse than subsequent marriages with 57 per cent ending in divorce within 16 years, compared to just under half (47 per cent) of second and subsequent marriages.
Harry Benson, the
Marriage Foundation’s Research Director and the study’s author commented: “We look up to celebrities because they have achieved fame and success. And we love their glamorous weddings because it’s love and it’s forever and it’s the dream. But the harsh truth is that in their marriages, most celebrities are not good role models.
