BENGALURU: It’s best not to take a cue from anything that celebrities do, especially when it comes to their topsy turvy, dramatic flings, shotgun marriages and messy divorces! But, there are some lessons we can learn from these celebrity couples. How heartbroken were you when you heard about Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt’s messy divorce? And now we can’t seem to get over the Brangelina saga that lasted for 12 long years! After all, celebrities couples are always quite sought after. But, how many couples win you over with their apparent perfection, only to call it quits in a few years - we’re looking at you Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. Don’t be disheartened though, after all, it’s always a good idea to learn from mistakes, even if they’re someone else’s! Take a look at what celebrity relationships are teaching us, good and bad.
Be Discreet
Of course, you want to show your partner off to the world and let everyone know how proud you are to be their significant other. And, when you’re a star, having space and privacy as a couple can be hard, especially since you are under constant scrutiny. Instead of jumping on a couch Tom Cruise-style, take a cue from Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield, who are known to avoid questions about their relationship.
mindsets matter
As long as your priorities and perspectives are in accord, you can spend years together and not tire of each other’s company. You may not agree about everything. However, when the time comes for life changing decisions, it’s not great to have two varying opinions. We don’t know if that’s exactly what happened with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, but his dedication to Scientology may have been the last nail in the coffin.
Get off the breakup carousel
Several celebrity relationships hit a dead-end even before they start. And then there are those relationships that just never end. If like us, you have lost count of the times Selena Gomez has been roped back in by Justin Bieber, you should know why we think that it’s best to let go of a relationship that’s obviously doing you more harm than good. Get out of a toxic cycle.
Marriage is a big
decision
It really is. But, how many celebrities have actually gotten married and stayed married? Which is why, couples like Matt and Luciana Damon who got married a year after they met, are a great example. So are Hugh Jackman and Deborra- Lee who got married a year after they met in 1996. Clearly, marriage was a very well-thought out decision for these two couples.
