Jennie Garth is apparently getting divorced from her husband Peter Facinelli. Who are these people? Jennie Garth starred in Beverly Hills
90210 and later appeared on Dancing with the Stars in a desperate attempt to
come back under the limelight. Facinelli starred in the Twilight movies. This
couple has been together for 11 years and has three children; their divorce is
getting a lot of attention from the press right now.
And yet, these people are nobodies. Jenny Garth’s name was
probably familiar to everyone when Beverly Hills 90210 was still running, but why
is her divorce getting so much attention today? Perhaps seeing her on Dancing
with the Stars recently made people realize how well she had aged and how happy
she was in her relationship while Facinelli clapped and supported her
throughout her performances. Was this only an illusion? And why do we care so
much if this couple is getting a divorce?
I think seeing people consider happy and successful get
divorces and fail at keeping their families together makes us feel better about
our own families. No matter how hard we try, it is always hard to communicate
with each other, forget about our arguments and find things we can all enjoy
together. The number of single parents is increasing and most people get
married more than once. Are traditional family values a thing of the past? We
are having a hard time accepting that the nuclear family is no longer the norm
and blame ourselves for failing to reproduce the models established by previous
generations. Watching successful people fail too is only a small consolation.
