Actor Abhishek Bachchan recently liked a post about grey divorces, reigniting speculation about his possible separation from his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. These rumors have been circulating for some time, and his social media activity has only intensified the speculation.

What is Grey Divorce?

If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of grey divorces, it’s a term used to describe divorces that occur later in life, typically in one’s 50s or beyond, after couples have spent many years together. Imagine a couple who once looked forward to spending their lives together, sharing experiences like raising children, caring for each other during illnesses, and supporting one another through challenges. When such a long-term union ends later in life, it can be particularly difficult, as it often requires starting over in an entirely new phase of life.

Grey divorces are becoming increasingly common. While the overall divorce rate in the U.S. has decreased over the past two decades, divorces among older couples have surged. Pew Research Center reports that nearly 40% of divorces now involve individuals aged 50 or older. Since the 1990s, the rate of grey divorces has doubled, and it has tripled for those over 65.

Abhishek Bachchan’s recent like on a post about grey divorce has sparked a range of reactions. Some people are speculating that it might indicate issues in his marriage, while others believe the “like” is just a casual interaction without any deeper meaning.

The speculation about their relationship intensified after Abhishek and Aishwarya were seen arriving separately at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding on July 12. Despite this, other photos from the event show the couple together with their daughter, Aaradhya.

Abhishek and Aishwarya tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in 2007 at Abhishek’s father Amitabh Bachchan’s Juhu bungalow, ‘Prateeksha’. Their daughter, Aaradhya, was born in 2011.
