Ahhh, the Hollywood A-listers. We secretly, or not so secretly, stalk them on social media. We cut our hair like them. We attempt to dress like them. But, should we also get divorced like them?
It seems like every other week we hear of another celebrity couple calling it quits. What we often do not hear are the dramatic details of their divorce process or settlement terms. For couples who do publicize their settlement, a joint, noncombative statement that disappoints those looking for dirty details often accompanies it. How is this possible in an age where the media and paparazzi seem to gain access to everything? The answer could be that parties are going to great lengths to ensure the privacy of their very personal separation. Or, it could also be that these high-profile couples are reaching far more amicable resolutions to avoid publicizing dirt on one another. This latter option has been labeled “conscious uncoupling” by some of the Hollywood elite.
