Relationship expert weighs in on celebrity couples

Speaking exclusively to Briefly News, relationship expert Penny Holburn opened up about how celebrity couples can maintain healthy relationships, especially with the added pressure of social media attention.

"Being in the public eye can be a challenge. People will say nice things and also hurtful and sometimes untruthful things. They need to understand not everything said will be true. And sometimes they may need to correct untruths and sometimes they may need to let things go. They want to focus on how they experience their relationship. It’s their relationship and they are the ones who need to be happy in it. Their priority is how they feel in the relationship not what other people think about it."

Penny also stressed the importance of communication in relationships. She added:

"For couples celebrating their first anniversary - make sure you communicate openly and honestly. So often people don’t express what they feel and anger or disappointment builds up over time. Also, work on doing things together but also allow the other to grow. Don’t let the chores and duties get too much. Also, keep having fun and doing fun things. Talk about the relationship and how you want it to grow. Talk about what each one needs from the relationship If there are fights or bitterness and resentment then deal with them. Sooner rather than later."
