The wave of high-profile divorces reflects a larger societal trend.

According to the latest CDC relationship data, divorce was steadily declining between 2017 and 2020. In 2021, there was a sharp uptick, with 689,308 divorces in the 45 states where the CDC collects such data — nearly half the number of marriages that year.

Divorce is now just a part of life, whether you're an average Joe or an Ariana Grande.

To a hopeless romantic, this year's laundry list of breakups may seem disheartening. But is it? Until recently, marriage has been held up as a prize; a societal good. Celebrities, television shows, movies, and even our legal system have perpetuated the idea that a singular great love is the best thing you could ever achieve.

Things are different now, though. We're living longer and becoming more accepting of unconventional relationship dynamics. The divorce trend is a reminder that people can outgrow each other. You can change without being tied to a particular destiny. You've lived and loved, and plan to keep on living and loving. And that's OK.

As recent celebrity news shows, love isn't always enough, even for the rich and famous. They're imperfect, just like us. Now we're all owning it.
