Yet, as time passed, the attitude of fans towards marriage oftheir idols has changed a lot and I do not agree with the claim of thoseagencies.First of all, what teenagers like about their idols are theiroutstanding talent, charming appearance andunique personalities, so it does not depend onwhether the idols are married or not. In somecases, getting married may help these celebritiesto achieve a higher accomplishment and becomeDavid & Victoria more popular than before. Take DavidBeckham, one of the most famous footballplayers in the world, as an example. He married a pop singer, VictoriaAdams, ten years ago, but there is no sign that his popularity has beendeclining. This is because fans are sensible, as they do not only lovehis appearance, but also his talent playing football.
