Within the past week, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan announced that they were going to separate after their nine years of marriage. Now this announcement has caused a huge uproar on the internet. Tatum and Dewan first met when they both took part in "Step Up" the movie and we have loved them ever since.

Like other Hollywood couples, people tend to follow their lives and what goes on in them. Just like when Chris Pratt and Anna Farris broke things off, people have truly freaked out over Tatum and Dewan's break up.

Now don't get me wrong I enjoy seeing them together too, but the way a lot of people I have seen react on the internet is just killing me. I have seen so many things on Twitter and Facebook of people saying that love is dead and that they have given up on love because of this celebrity break up.

Just because Tatum and Dewan broke up does not mean that love is dead. Their marriage lasted for nine years and together they both made a decision to break things off and they need to do what they think is best for them and their relationship and family.

To the people on the internet, please stop saying love is dead because it's not. There are so many people, celebrities or not, that have had loving marriages that have completely outlasted Tatum and Dewan's marriage.

Celebrity wise, look at Hugh Jackman and his wife they have been married for 22 years and have known each other for awhile and they are still really in love. Or even look at family members, personally one set of my grandparents just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary and the other set is coming close to reaching their 60th as well. Just because a celebrity couple isn't together anymore does not mean that you have to give up on love.

Love is not dead so stop saying it is. There is no reason for you to give up on love just because another celebrity couple broke up. There are so many other things to love about love and relationships. That is something that is unique to each person and couple and just because someone else' relationship doesn't work out does not mean that your relationship will end the same way. We get so caught up in comparing ourselves to so many different things that it can cause us to worry about a lot of things.

In the end, sorry internet but you are wrong. Love isn't dead and just because they broke up doesn't mean that they can't get back together. So please for all our sakes stop saying that love is dead. Yes, it is sad that it happened, but it isn't the end of everything.
