Is divorce really as easy for celebrities as some think? When you have cameras letting everyone know what is happening 24/7, it seems more than a little stressful. Below are some examples of celebrity divorces to look at.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
When in June this year it was announced that Tom Cruise would be entering his third divorce, this time with most recent wife Katie Holmes, it was hard for anyone to look away. For this marriage Tom had signed a prenuptial agreement, perhaps hoping for an easier time. There are many rumours floating around as to what this agreement contains, but it is quite safe to think that Katie Holmes will get herself a fairly nice sum of money.
Prenups usually have sections dealing with what will happen in the case of divorce. However, while it seems that this would surely help a couple through a divorce, this is not always the case. Prenups have been in use from the late nineteenth century in the US, and while they have without a doubt helped many couples in the past, they have not stopped many dreadful divorce stories from spreading around the internet.
Paul McCartney and Heather Mills
When the "cute" member of the Beatles, Paul McCartney, married his first wife Linda, he allowed her to perform at their concerts and on their albums despite having a infamously bad voice. Fans were naturally upset about this, but the couple lived a good life raising their children together. This happiness came to a shocking end when Linda died of cancer in 1998.
Then Paul met Heather Mills. Sir Paul fell deeply in love with her, but his children weren't as sure as he was. Nonetheless, he went ahead and married her without a prenup. Of course, he was later to realise that may have been a mistake.
But by 2006 their relationship had turned bad and the two wanted a divorce. Reports stated that Heather was trying it on and that the judge disliked her, but she ended up being given a total of around lb74 million - although some of this was to aid her in looking after their child.
Paul is currently married to New York girl Nancy Shevell, who luckily has her own money to play with. Heather, on the other hand, claims to have spent nearly all of her money on her business, her daughters and on charity.
Madonna and Guy Ritchie
Pop sensation Madonna and her director husband Guy Ritchie decided to call it quits in 2008 after an eight year long marriage. News of the divorce sent the press into a frenzy. Such a fuss was made that Guy likened his marriage to a 'soap opera'.
The two announced their divorce in 2008 after eight years of marriage and two children. Again there was no prenup, but initially it was thought that Guy didn't want any of Madonna's money; he only cared about the children. Nevertheless, the couple settled on a rather high figure of between lb47 and lb56 million, plus the values of their two UK properties.
