When supermodel Emily Ratajkowski, 32,took to TikTok本月股份声称离婚之前30 is “chic,” the moment went viral. Fresh off the news of Sophie Turner’s not-so-amicable split from Joe Jonas, Ratajkowski’s commentary felt very of-the-moment. But it also felt naughty. “Can she really say that?” we wondered.
And yet, hip divorces aren’t just for celebs. Indeed,divorce registriesare trending. So are next-level divorce parties—for example, the recent one at an Adele concert in Las Vegas thatlanded major headlineswhen a 33-year-old woman held up a sign reading, “You got me through my divorce.” Adele’s reaction? She cried on-stage. (Reminder that the singeralsogot a divorce in her early 30s.) And these tears are primarily tears of joy; After all women areinitiatinga whopping 69 percent of divorces, according to The American Sociological Association.
这把我们带回到Ratajkowski:“如果在your 20s is the trenches, there is nothing better than being in your 30s, still being hot, maybe having a little bit of your own money, figuring out what you want to do with your life…and having tried that married fantasy and realizing that it’s maybe not all it’s cracked up to be and then you’ve got your whole life still ahead of you,” she remarked on TikTok.
But is she right? Is divorce—in particular, young divorce—going through a re-brand?
