Google searching for wife of male celebs

Rologyro

I noticed that if you type the name of a famous man into Google, the search suggestions often suggest you add “wife” to your search.

It’s never occurred to me to check who a famous guys wife is, I’m female though - is this a man thing?

If you do this, why do you do it?

Ha I don’t have a husband I just noticed it myself.

I tried a few females there, Sandra Bullock, Kirsten Dunst and a couple more - no “husband”.

Maybe men fancy other men's wives.

I've gotten the husband thing when I've searched for some female celebrities. Also the word wedding coming up after the female's name, which is similar.

I got “husband” for one of my searches (Wendy Williams) but I’ve tried load others, like these:

Irish Guitarist

I always assumed it was women doing these searches. It has never occurred to me to Google the wife of a famous male celebrity. If I would Google something like that I'd Google the husband of a female celeb to see the type of guy she'd go for.

Women ain't searching Jackie Healy Rae and Phil Taylor....

Not saying your theory is wrong or anything.

They should keep it shtum ...more mystery to it ..its more privé too

L1011

For some of these - JHR, Morgan - its probably people wondering who on earth would willingly legally tie themselves to them.

Crickey, the OP is right.

Type 'Pat' into Google and seven of the ten autocompletes are results with 'wife'.

Who's responsible for this madness!

Me

I have sometimes googled someone's wife or husband. Nosiness. Curiosity.

Sorry for messing up the algorithms

Aint Eazy Being Cheezy

I remember seeing some FB page, I think, called “Footballers who could do better” or something like that. Presumably because they were rich and successful you’d think they’d have a better looking partner than they did. With photos of said munters too. I think Ashley Young & Robin Van Persie featured.

The J Stands for Jay

The wife was watching some celeb thing during the week and it mentioned some celeb's wife, but didn't show her or give her name. That's the kind of thing they would get people googling.

I'm guessing people who have attractive spouses, or who's spouse gets mentioned in "celeb news" would be searched for and then appear in search suggestions.

suicide_circus

people like looking at attractive women

Mr. CooL ICE

I noticed it alright. I'd usually Google the name of an MMA fighter or boxer I've never heard of, followed by 'wiki' to check their fight record and wife is always the first suggestion after typing 'w'

Ficheall

For want of a better method of selecting which females to google, I googled "top actresses", and every lady aside from Angelina Jolie https://etcanada.com/photos/357946/the-10-highest-paid-actresses-of-2018/#image-357955, googling every single one of them gives "husband" or "boyfriend" as an autocomplete.

I don’t, weird.

All the fuss in the US about the First Lady or endless articles about the wives of famous men. Very little about the husbands of famous women who are largely anonymous.

Because nobody wants to know what Oprah's husband is wearing. It's mostly women searching celeb partners to give them the' ol once over.
