StrawberryBlond 14,836 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 The last year or so has seen the disintegration of once-strong power couples in the celebrity world, along with rumours of splits. First was Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert. Yes, for those of us who don't follow country won't be all that aware of them, but they're both a pretty big deal in the American country music scene, especially Miranda, who until most recently, has had every one of her albums go platinum in the US. With Blake's successful albums and The Voice gig, the pair have made millions between them, earning a spot among the top 10 in list of most profitable celebrity couples. But in July 2015, it was announced that the couple were divorcing after 4 years of marriage, for no obvious reason other than they'd just fallen out of love. Then there was that tense time after Beyonce released Lemonade when we wondered if she was going to divorce Jay-Z after the album was filled with details of his infedelity and how Beyonce had put up with it for the last time. They seem to still be going strong, but make no mistake, their marriage is still in the warning category and has been put under serious strain. Gossip magazines still report rumours of divorce to this day. Will the #1 power couple last forever? Then there was the Taylor and Calvin split this summer. It's not like this was any surprise seeing as both parties weren't famed for long-term relationships, but it was Taylor's longest relationship and she seemed so in love that it was a shock when it ended. This was Taylor's first ever celebrity power couple moment and no sooner had she got it in place than it ended. Finally, there was the end of an era that was the Brangelina split. 12 years is a lifetime for a celebrity relationship and with all those kids, it seemed like these two would be together forever, despite the doubters saying their partnership was numbered from the start. With claims that Angelina disagreed with Brad's parenting methods and demanding physical custody of her children, this looks set to get interesting. Definitely the biggest celebrity split in years. And for fan service, you could count Gaga and Taylor in the mix too. So, what's going on? Yes, celebrity couples break up all the time but I've never seen the breakdown of so many massive power couples in such a short space of time. 3 splits and 1 under serious strain in less than 2 years. Is it hectic work schedules? Conflicting egos? Secret infidelity? Secret drink/drug addictions? Because it feels like there's something in the water right now.

pink sushi 4,351 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Couples in general split up all the time. Especially celebrity couples. Its probably due to a combination of all the things you mentioned. As for why so many couples happened to split up in the past year or two......coincidence.
