To think marrying someone who has already been married and divorced 3 times is a very, very bad idea

I saw that Earl Spencer was on the front pages of some of the papers today for marrying a 4th wife.

AIBU to think that it is probably very unwise to marry someone who has already been married and divorced 3 times? Just that. Not even thinking about all the other stories that whirl around this particular individual but just the very fact that if you have been married and divorced 3 times that seems like a giant whale sized red flag to me.

Maybe I'm missing the romance of it all - or maybe not!

Interesting. Is there research into which demographic survives or fails multiple marriage’s?
I agree children do affect the quality of relationships.
How are marriages between the never had kids couple versus multiple children couples?
