Fame can take a toll on a marriage, but sometimes the unraveling of love is fast and furious.
These star couples may have been head over heels when they tied the knot, but they were incredibly quick about untying it.
There are four major reasons celebrities often find themselves in heartbreaking situations.
First of all, time, most celebrity relationships wither out because the couple is too busy to spend time together.
With tours, special appearances and events booked back to back, it’s hard for celebs to find time for each other.
This, in turn, brings frustration, which eventually turns into being okay with not seeing each other for long periods of time.
Failure to treat the relationship as a priority has cost many their partners.
Kenya was stunned to learn its celebrity couple Dennis Okari and Betty Kyallo had parted ways.
The celebrity couple had a highly-publicised wedding, with honeymoons all over the globe.
Unfortunately for this pair, happily ever after only lasted six months, with the rumor mill citing infidelity.
There is a thin line between love and hate, and no couple reflected this sentiment more than celebrated hyper man DNG and ex Yvette.
The pair met in Dubai, and as with all love stories, were awestruck, which led to nuptials early 2015.
The fairy tale, unfortunately, as with many celebrity relationships, soon fizzled out after the honeymoon.
DNG took the war to social media, spewing hate messages and going as far as to wipe away their social media history by deleting pictures of them together.
One deal could completely change the life of one person in the relationship.
If you don’t grow together, you grow apart.
This is normal but may concern someone who wants to chase the giddy rush of new love.
And while 254, as the rest of the world, is plagued with its many failed celebrity marriages, such as Prezzo and Daisy Kiplagat, who was married for three years to Abbas Kubaf and Baby Gangster, who called it quits 10 months down the line, there are still pairings who make us believe in happily ever after.
Couples such as Nameless and Wahu, to name but a few, have grown into powerful partners in the industry.
