Celebrity marriage is now about views, comments and likes on social media – Actress

Nollywood actress Judy Austin has spoken about the recent phenomenon of celebrity marriage and why it is not working.

A careful glance across the celebrity world will reveal several marriages that have failed with days or weeks. Relationships involving celebrities have gone stale after months of pomp and pageantry.

However odd it may be, the causes of these challenges celebrities face in their marriages or relationships are pretty obvious and glaring in the eye. Aside from ego, self-conceitedness, and arrogance, social media is a huge contributing factor to the breakdown of marriages of celebrities.

Judy Austin had this to say about this development and how it can be tackled:

“We all have different opinions on sex, marriage and relationship. As for me, marriage is not an achievement. It’s something good though, a union between two people that love each other. It’s a wonderful thing, it’s a thing to have and cherish. But in this world now, a lot of people marry for money, connection and a lot of wrong reasons. It’s crazy, you see someone getting married to someone just because they know they will gain popularity, best wedding planner, the best dresses etc.

Nobody is thinking of the marriage itself, it’s all about the posting on social media, the comments, the views and likes. To me, it’s a blessing to marry someone because of love, someone you can build with, who can encourage you and stand by you, other than that I don’t see marriage as an achievement”.
