Maybe because Haters constantly harass any sources that hint in any way the BC is a happily married man with a family?
Even these innocent pix are a vexation to Haters just because he's wearing his wedding ring and there were 3 kiddie cups of ice cream on the counter. Gator and the "gang" are apoplectic with rage about these photos!

I’m honestly flabbergasted that Gator etc are STILL fixated on BC. You would think they would have got bored by now and transferred their “affections” to someone else. But then I guess I’m ascribing rational thought processes to people who are not rational.

Any different numbers of perfectly rational scenarios spring to mind. Sophie already has her ice cream and is eating it or perhaps doesn’t want any (a scenario I doubt - who wouldn’t want ice cream?). Ben took the kids out for ice cream and Sophie is at home or doing something else (nefarious, clearly). Ben is being mind-controlled by whoever is doing that now and someone is paying him to promote this tiny ice cream shop b/c Sophie needs the money. Why does *everything* have to be drama with those idiots? But no, they’ve decided that there’s only TWO kids now, which, I assume, may or may not be Ben’s.
You would think after eight years (count ‘em, EIGHT), of this nonsense they’d give up by now. But no. On we go…

You would think after eight years (count ‘em, EIGHT), of this nonsense they’d give up by now. But no. On we go… I think these people are still carrying on because they expect a divorce. Don't most marriages break up around the 7-10 year mark? They think the odds are this one will, too, and then they can take credit for saying so all along. Of course, they're not living in reality, or else they would have noticed that BC/Soph appear to actually be thriving in their marriage right now, supporting each other in their individual careers, and taking on a lot of joint projects, as well. Edit: I can't even remember the last time I read anything posted by the haters. I'd decided to stop trying to understand them and just blocked all that nonsense out. I've been so much happier since. I really do think they thrive off of any attention, whether it's people agreeing with them or arguing with them. Best ignored entirely (as many of you have advised in the past).

Anyone who’s not a hater can see how well suited they are for each other and how much in love they are. That’s not to say there’s no friction at all between them - what marriage doesn’t have a few bumps and not that we’ve seen ANYTHING to imply that is happening, but I’m also sure they’re not the type of people to fight in public.

I really do hope BC & Sophie’s marriage stays the course. However marriages in the entertainment industry are notoriously prone to failure. Probably because of the various pressures in that industry- odd hours, long absences, strain of living a public life etc. So if God, or whatever deity you do or don’t believe in, forbid BC’s marriage did break up it would have zero to do with the haters bonkers theories. But I say again 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞it doesn’t. I would really like it to be a till death us do part marriage.

I think the Haters carry on, not because they expect BC and Sophie to get divorced, but because they want their wacko narrative to be proven right.
In fact, the hardcore Haters like Gator and Aeltri, are saying that as of NOW the Cumberbatches are ALREADY "split" - they just haven't "dropped the announcement" yet!
So reality (whether BC and Sophie are happily married or not) has nothing to do with THEIR world.
Divorce is a complex subject. In the US the percentage of marriage/divorce is just over 50%. In Canada it's at about 50%. In the UK is only at 25%.
But "celebrity marriages" are another ball of wax.
While "Hollywood" divorces get LOADS of publicity, long lasting marriages don't make as good "clickbait".
The number one reason people get divorced is "lack of commitment" - the couple don't spend enough time together and don't feel any investment in the their relationship.
Actors (like people in the military, who also have a high divorce rate) often spend a LOT of time apart from their mates and families. BC and Sophie's "two week rule" is a commitment to being in each other's presence that may auger well for their marriage.
That's why I never mind when BC seems to "disappear" from public view and has seemingly been a lot more choosy about his workload since beginning his family.
First and foremost he's a human being and has a life beyond his acting. And he seems to treat his marriage and family as THE most important thing in his life, which I find endearing.
Looking back on celebrity marriages, I remember clearly when Michael J. Fox was on some talk show shortly after he got married in 1988 and the host said "This is your first marriage?" and Fox replied "First and last!".
And he and Tracy Pollan are still going strong - after 34 years and a LOT of challenges!

I have a theory that a lot of actors (and other celebrities), are basically narcissists, so marriages don’t often last beyond the honeymoon “you are so fabulous!” stage. When the slog sets in and the compliments fade they lose interest because their ego isn’t getting fed like it was in the first flush of love and romance.

Remember way back, before he got married? By the time he became well-known to us, he had already split up from Olivia, who he’d been with for years. I remember an interviewer asking him about his love life and saying that she was available if he was interested. But what I remember the most was him saying on a talk show that his dream would be to one day appear on a talk show and talk about all his children. He never mentioned finding Miss Right or the love of his life. He wanted a family, and he has that.
A while back, there was an interviewer who asked George Clooney what had made him change and suddenly want to be married. He said that he hadn’t changed at all, and that he had always hoped to find the right person. But he was so tired of being questioned about his love life that he started telling reporters that he loved being single and never wanted to settle down. That way, he got them off his back and also became known as a confirmed bachelor playboy, which wasn’t true.
