Kath 153 Report post Posted January 1, 2017 Okay, everyone.... It seems that many of you wanted more new names, so we have many new-to-FanChitChat-divorce-poll couples this year. I also tried to take into account most of your suggestions. I only included legally-married couples. Please remember: everyone gets one and only one vote, so make your selection carefully. At the end of the year, the poll will be permanently closed. Happy New Year! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted January 2, 2017 Ooh - great choices. As usual, not sure who I want to vote for! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess 1,711 Report post Posted January 2, 2017 Oh some interesting choices this year. Must think on this before voting!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess 1,711 Report post Posted January 2, 2017 Of all these choices, I'd say I've heard the strongest rumors about the following couples: Beyonce & Jay-Z Nicole Kidman & Keith Penelope Cruz & Javier Victoria Beckham & David 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dixiedoodah 1,003 Report post Posted January 2, 2017 Ditto, princess. That's why I voted for the Beckhams last year. I really thought they would crack. This year I'm leaning towards Nicole and Keith because of the over abundance of "so in love" press recently, they doth protest too much, but I'm going to have to sit on that vote for a few days. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hear ya, that's why I'm leaning towards Beyonce & Jay-Z right now, but still want to think on it. This is the most important question we have every year, our divorce poll choice! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted January 2, 2017 I'd like to vote for Natalie & Benjamin, but they've made it thus far - how weird would it be to divorce with a newborn? Rarely happens to celebs..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kath 153 Report post Posted January 2, 2017 Many rumours abound about cheating, through the years, between Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton but for a (small) percentage of people, open marriages work so I'm not sure what to think, considering they've made it this far... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess 1,711 Report post Posted January 2, 2017 We were hearing a lot of chatter about Julia Roberts and Danny, although I haven't heard much the last few months. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted January 3, 2017 I think half the couples in the poll this year are longer marriages (well, longer for Hollywood ;-) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kath 153 Report post Posted January 4, 2017 I really tried to vary the choices, again: some longer marriages, some couples we don't hear about often, etc. The sad (& entertaining) fact is that few Hollywood marriages survive the Long Haul so with the vast majority, it's just a matter of time...

Kath 153 Report post Posted January 9, 2017 I voted too. Okay.... care to share? I voted for Julia & Danny. I've heard that they've more or less lived separate lives (different houses, only deal with each other about their children, etc) for years. The liquidation of some of her real estate, recently, makes me think they want to move from separated to fully-dividing assets... in other words, divorce. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) I voted for Natalie and the ballerina. There's something about him I've never liked - seems very pretentious and flighty. He wasn't able to succeed at the Paris opera ballet and has left, moved to be with her in LA. Not sure that will make him happy and he def seems like the ME ME ME divo type, so.....And of course, if the babies aren't his...... [i will add that some of his stated reasons for leaving Paris are legit and I approve - that ballet company is too stodgy, very racist, but he basically said he doesn't want to be the one to do the work to bring it to the 21st century, so that part I didn't like so much] Edited January 9, 2017 by Hoyaheel 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxiemom 623 Report post Posted January 9, 2017 And of course, if the babies aren't his...... That was my reason for voting for Natalie and the ballerina. I feel like Julia and Danny are the next Ben Affleck/Jennifer Garner. The divorce rumors have been around both couples for years and near as I can tell neither Jennifer nor Ben has moved beyond the legal separation stage by actually filing for divorce. In other words, living separate lives - whether driven by the children or something else - seems to "work" for both of these couples, so why bother changing the status quo? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess 1,711 Report post Posted January 9, 2017 I went with Penelope Cruz & Javier. The rumors have been around for ages, but nothing new recently. I feel like they are waiting for another big event to happen so they can file for divorce without a lot of PR fuss. A long-shot gut move, but I went with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kath 153 Report post Posted January 9, 2017 I haven't heard any rumours about their marriage, but the strike me as an unlikely long-term couple (in that they're both big stars and so likely have huge egos and busy schedules) so I believe they'll divorce at some point and then he'll remarry a much younger, much less / not-at-all famous woman.
