Break-ups that Seal our fate
Not those two, surely, with their fondness for renewing their wedding vows, their adorable pod of baby seals, and their overt devotion, all set against a red-carpet backdrop of glamour and success? How could that have gone wrong? You hope they’ll sort it out, that they’ll go to an expensive therapist and announce to the media that it was all a misunderstanding and they’re more in love than ever. Then the rest of us can quietly sigh with relief.
But why do we care? Why would anyone, other than Seal and Heidi Klum, and their family, care about the future of their marriage? It’s not like them splitting up will make him tone deaf or her ugly — the world will not lose a singer or model — so why the disappointment when we hear that a popular public-eye couple have broken up? How can it affect us, the little people?
