Divorce is never simple. Emotional complications and financial realities often impact the way that people proceed with the complicated task of exiting a long term relationship.
While celebrity divorces can often seem to come out of nowhere, the latest news from the rich and famous reflects couples in transition, either considering divorce or reversing their decision to divorce.
The celebrity couples that fall into the first category—those in whom at least one party is considering divorce—are familiar names by now. Their stories have appeared in the headlines of the gossip section for weeks and months. Who knows what goes on behind the closed doors between these couples, but speculation often runs rampant about how they will proceed.

Sandra Bullock fled the spotlight when news spread of her husband, celebrity motorcycle mechanic Jesse James, and his flings with heavily tattooed women.

She had already moved out of the home she shared with James. James, for his part, checked into a treatment center to deal with personal issues. He is still hoping to save the marriage, according to his representatives.
Entertainment Weekly acquired the photos of Bullock, as the public waits to see how she will respond to her husband’s confession. Bullock recently won an Academy Award for her acting turn in “The Blind Side.” News of her marital troubles hit the wire soon after her triumphant evening in Hollywood.

The couple attended counseling soon after they each filed for divorce. “It was decided that there will be no divorce proceedings for two weeks as several issues need to be discussed and resolved,” said Wasser.
The celebrity couple was seen together at their son’s baseball game recently. They have been married for twelve and a half years.

Elin made a major mistake staying with Tiger. She has allowed one man, who isn’t sure of his identity, to cause her to lose hers. She has lost focus of the strong woman she is and I am sure she was running the household before all of this and she damn sure can do it without him. Elin needs to get out of this horrible situation and find happinnes within herself and her children, not from Tiger.
