Ah, the life of a supermodel. It's not everything it's cracked up to be. And no, that isn't just my stumpy 5'2" envy talking! Seriously. Just because you're a supermodel doesn't mean everything in life is a cake-walk. Most of the time, they can't even HAVE cake.
Sure, they've got money, fame, and countless admirers, that's true. But even the most beautiful of models is still a human being. As such, it shouldn't be surprising that even they get dumped. A quick jaunt down memory lane should remind you that just because supermodels seem perfect, it doesn't mean their lives are without flaw.
Supermodels get divorced just like the rest of us — albeit, most of the time, they are divorcing someone equally good-looking. Who knows what leads to the splits? It's probably the same stuff that causes most of us to break up. Infidelity, growing apart, constant flights to Milan to be photographed … okay so maybe not allll the same reasons. But still!
