Why Are We So Fascinated by Celebrity Divorces?

Mark Keenan, Managing Director at Divorce-Online, shares his insight:

“With social media changing how the public engages with the personal lives of celebrities, it may not come as a surprise to see influencers at the top of the list—especially when their lives are lived so openly online.

Fans often feel personally connected to these relationships, so when they break down, it can feel oddly personal. This top 10 features stars from TV, sport, music, and comedy, showing that a public no fault divorce, regardless of the industry, draws plenty of attention.”
