Is it normal to be jealous of celebrity crushes?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, feeling jealous of your partner’s celebrity crush is pretty common, even when you know the celebrity isn’t a real rival. It usually matters more how you handle the feeling than whether it pops up.

A celebrity crush can still poke at an insecurity: you might compare yourself to them or feel a little left out when your partner gushes. Knowing the crush is unlikely to go anywhere doesn’t always stop your feelings from having a moment.

People differ on how fun or harmless they find celebrity-crush talk, so it’s okay to tell your partner if the teasing or comments are getting under your skin. A passing twinge is normal; trying to control what your partner watches or who they find attractive is where it can become a problem.
