Gary Owen<\/a> and his wife Kenya Duke.<\/p>\nOwen\u2019s wife filed for divorce after 18-years of marriage after accusing her husband of being unfaithful.<\/p>\n
Taderia Twillie, a junior and social work major from Olive Branch, Miss., shared her opinion on why she believes people are deeply invested in celebrity relationships.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe people are so invested in celebrity breakups because they idolize only what they see on the outside looking in. People act as if celebrities aren\u2019t regular people who have problems in their everyday life,\u201d stated Twillie.<\/p>\n
Twillie also believes that people should make their own standards instead of basing it on celebrity relationships.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce people start idolizing celebrities, they begin to get this false reality of what is supposed to be relationship goals instead of making their own standards,\u201d explained Twillie.<\/p>\n
Twillie continued, \u201cI will never understand how people are so invested in people they don\u2019t know, nor do they get paid for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Markyel Pittman, a junior and political science major from Grenada, Miss., also shared his thoughts on why he believes people are so invested in celebrity relationships.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my honest opinion, I think that everyone thinks celebrity relationships are the ideal ways that couples should interact with each other,\u201d Pittman said.<\/p>\n
Pittman also believes that people invest in celebrity relationships due to their large social media platforms.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince celebrities have such a lavish lifestyle and a huge social media platform, most people tend to want that as well. It\u2019s just the generation and time that we live in,\u201d said Pittman.<\/p>\n
Although these two celebrity couples have parted ways, history has proven they they are not the first celebrity couple to come to an end, nor will they be the last.<\/p>\n
