Their personal lives are almost as wild and tumultuous as the movies they star in. Because you have a crew of cameras following your every move as a celebrity, anything you do behind closed doors nearly always comes to light. These famous pairings may have begun as scandalous – and many others may have suffered as a result – but they have persevered for the sake of LOVE. Prepare to be astounded: we’ve compiled a list of 25 celebs who have made the transition from mistress to Mrs.
Miranda Lambert
After performing together at CMT’s 100 Greatest Duets event in 2005, Shelton said, “We were singing as part of a duets concert that CMT was putting on. They paired me with Miranda, and we were on stage for rehearsal, and I don’t know, something just happened and we both knew it.” He pursued Lambert even while he was still married to Kanyette Williams. Shelton and Williams divorced in 2006, and he and Lambert began dating in 2011 and married the following year after four years of dating. This romance would be doomed as well… for reasons that we’ll discuss later.
Angelina Jolie
This was a heartbreaker for sure! During the filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2004, their bond grew stronger. At the time, Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston. Pitt and Aniston divorced in 2005, and the next year, “Brangelina” was born, complete with a child. In 2016, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ended their relationship.
Britney Spears
In 2004, the pop star began dating backup dancer Kevin Federline, and after three months of dating, the two were engaged. The fact that Federline had previously married Shar Jackson was a small stumbling barrier. Shar was also expecting her second kid with Federline at the time. Despite this, Spears and Federline married and had two sons together a few months later. Britney Spears and Kevin Federline divorced in 2006.
LeAnn Rimes
LeAnn Rimes appeared to be a sweet and innocent country singer until she met actor Eddie Cibrian on the set of Lifetime’s The Northern Lights in 2009. They seemed to fall in love despite the fact that they were both married at the time. In 2011, they divorced their prior marriages and married the next year. At the time of the affair, Cibrian was married with two children to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reality actress Brandi Glanville, who freely recognizes the entire tragedy on the show. To put it frankly, she isn’t a fan of LeAnn Rimes’ music.
Tori Spelling
Spelling and McDermott knew they were “soul mates” from the moment they met on the set of Mind Over Murder in 2005. The only problem was that they were both married to other people. A month later, they both filed for divorce, and by 2006, they were on their way down the aisle! The couple has four children together.
Wade Union
Union claims he started dating NBA superstar Dwayne Wade while still married to his two children’s mother, Siohvaughn Funches-Wade. When Wade filed for divorce, Siohvaughn became enraged, and she went to court on behalf of her children, suing Union for the emotional suffering her children had suffered as a result of the affair. The situation worsened. Union and Wade are discovered to be dating, but they’ve decided to move with care after watching their marriages fall apart.
Alicia Keys
Who doesn’t like the music of Alicia Keys? Swizz was married to R&B musician Mashonda and had a child when Alicia Keys first started dating him in 2008. According to Alicia, Swizz and Mashonda had already called it quits and it was only a matter of finalizing the split, but you can bet Mashonda has a different viewpoint. Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys have two children and married in 2010. Who knows why, but this pairing is hard not to adore!
Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts met her future husband, cinematographer Danny Moder, on the set of The Mexican. The two began dating even though Roberts was still seeing Benjamin Bratt and Moder was married to cosmetics artist Vera Steimberg.
Amber Heard
According to insiders, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard met on the set of The Rum Diary in 2009, and their relationship began there. The fact that Depp recently ended his 14-year relationship with Vanessa Paradis, the mother of his children, may have piqued his interest in Heard, 28. Perhaps it was karma that ended Depp and Heard’s romance in a public confrontation over domestic violence charges.
Claire Danes
Danes met and began dating actor Billy Crudup on the set of Stage Beauty. After the romance became serious, Crudup had to leave his pregnant wife. What a calamity. When Danes became romantically engaged to costar Hugh Dancy while on the set of Evening in 2006, she committed a repeat offense. Crudup was the last man standing this time! In 2009, Danes and Dancy married, and their first child was born in 2013.
Melanie Griffith
This Hollywood power couple met on the set of Two Much. Both were married at the time, but they divorced their spouses after falling profoundly in love. Shortly after the divorce papers were finalized, the pair married and went on to have one of Hollywood’s most stable relationships. After 20 years of marriage, Griffith and his wife split in 2016, therefore this is no longer the case.
Jennifer Lopez
Lopez and Anthony began dating when Anthony was still married, only a week after his divorce from former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres was finalized. Before divorcing in 2011, the pair married in 2004 and had two children (twins).
Soon-Yi Previn
This was an odd one, to say the least… Woody Allen’s ten-year romance with actress Mia Farrow resulted in one of Hollywood’s most well-known scandals, even though they never married! Farrow’s adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, was revealed to be having a sexual relationship with Allen. The connection was made public after Farrow discovered nude photographs of her daughter at Allen’s house in 1992. At the time, Allen was 56 years old and Soon-Yi was only 21 years old – talk about a family feud! Soon-Yi and Allen married in 1997 and have two children.
Debra Missing
Debra Messing’s romance with Will Chase, a Smash co-star, became public shortly after her divorce from Daniel Zelman. Chase was married at the time, but just for a few months. Because her marriage to Chase terminated in 2014, Messing was never Mrs. Chase.
Gisele Bundchen
Is Gisele’s romance with her boyfriend still alive and well? No. Did she snag someone’s father? Yes. Tom Brady ditched his three-year partner Bridget Moynahan in favor of the supermodel, who was expecting his child. The lovely couple married in 2009 and have two children together.
Camilla, Duchess Of Cornwall
They first met in 1970 at a polo competition and dated for a while. Following that, they divorced, married, and had children with other people: Prince Charles married Princess Diana in front of over 750 million people worldwide, while Camilla married Andrew Parker Bowles in a far less public wedding. Even though the two had always communicated, in the 1980s, accusations of an affair surfaced. They divorced in 1999 and made their first public appearance as a couple the following year. In 2005, the couple became engaged and married two months later.
Traci Lynn Johnson
Tiki Barber was on his way to a new broadcasting career after retiring from the NFL when he met intern Traci Lynn Johnson. While Barber’s 11-year-old wife was eight months pregnant with twins at home, Johnson and Barber’s affair was in full flow! Barber married Johnson just eight days after his divorce was finalized. The pair is parents to a child.
Jerry Seinfeld
In this case, the mistress was none other than Mr. Seinfeld! Just days after they returned from their honeymoon, Jessica, his now-wife, married a comedian she met in a gym! Jessica and her first husband married in 1998, less than a month after Jessica’s divorce was finalized, and the same year Jessica and her first husband were engaged – a watershed moment in Jessica’s life. The happy couple has three children together.
Ryan Shawhughes
Every mother’s worst nightmare is her nanny stealing her spouse. Ethan Hawke did exactly that to his wife, actress Uma Thurman, in 2004. Hawke and Thurman’s six-year marriage ended when she discovered he was having an affair with Ryan Shawhughes, their two children’s babysitter. What a humiliation. Hawke and Shawhughes, on the other hand, stuck by one other and married in 2008. They have two children together. Shawhughes should choose her nannies with even more caution than others, given what her now-husband is capable of!
Kayte Walsh
Just as his wife Camille was making her reality TV debut on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kelsey Grammer was having an affair with British flight attendant Kayte Walsh, a woman 25 years younger. Kelsey made his new connection public when his wife Camille filed for divorce in 2010 – it was a harsh and public split. Just two weeks after their divorce was finalized in 2011, Grammer and Walsh married at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. With Camille, Grammer now has two children, bringing his total number of children to six. He had two children with Camille and two more with his first wife.
Brittany Kerr
In 2012, these two were caught in a major PDA moment. In a Sunset Strip pub, country musician Jason Aldean was caught kissing Brittany Kerr, a past American Idol winner, and the incident made headlines. Aldean’s initial reaction was to blame it on the booze, and he took his then-wife, Jessica Ussery, to various media sites to express her support for her husband, the father of her two daughters, and to underline that people make mistakes. In 2013, the country singer filed for divorce, and a year later, he married his former mistress.
Rebecca Romijn
Romijn and O’Connell started dating while O’Connell wasn’t even close to being single, according to new evidence. He was having an affair with E, his then-fiancée! Giuliana Rancic, a news anchor, and Romijn, who had recently separated from ex-husband John Stamos. Despite the fact that no property was damaged, Rancic’s heart was broken. Romijn and O’Connell married in 2007 and have two children together.
Patti Sciafia
At work, they happened to run into each other! Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band member Patti Scialfa fell in love on the Tunnel of Love Express Tour in 1988. Springsteen was married to Julianne Phillips at the time, but the couple divorced soon after the tour finished. Springsteen and Scialfa married in 1991 and have three children together.
Oksana Grigorieva
After 30 years of marriage, Gibson’s decision to leave his wife Robyn Moore for young Russian beauty Oksana Grigorieva, who was also pregnant with his child, didn’t seem to bother him. They didn’t even knot their hair. But have no fear: Karma was on their side, as the couple divorced just six months after Grigorieva gave birth to their child. When Grigorieva attempted to obtain a restraining order against Gibson, recordings of Gibson threatening to kill her surfaced on the internet.
Michelle Williams
Michelle Williams has a long history in show business, having married late actor Heath Ledger just before his tragic death. She married composer and producer Phil Elverum in 2018. Williams’ marriage, on the other hand, was shattered when he had an affair with filmmaker Thomas Kail. Williams and Kail married and had a child in the year 2020.
Gwen Stefani
We said we’d come back to Blake Shelton, and we did. Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton divorced in 2015, purportedly due to Shelton’s affair with Gwen Stefani, the lead singer of No Doubt, who is presently a co-judge on The Voice. Stefani was divorcing Gavin Rosedale due to infidelity, which seemed ironic at the moment. In the year 2021, Blake and Gwen’s love is still strong, and they are happily engaged.
Kevin Hart
Torrei Hart, Kevin Hart’s ex-wife, said that the comedian began seeing Eniko Parrish behind her back, leading to their divorce. Hart and Parrish married the knot in 2016. Hart’s life does not appear to be entirely enjoyable or pleasant.
Humphrey Bogart
Humphrey Boggart, then 46, divorced Mayo Methot after having an affair with Lauren Bacall, his 19-year-old costar, on the set of To Have and Have Not, perhaps the most famous case of a celebrity leaving their spouse for a mistress in Hollywood history. Boggart was clearly smitten, since six months after their divorce, he married Bacall, and the two remained together for the next 12 years until Boggart’s death.
Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux co-starred in the film Wanderlust in 2012, and they are rumored to be dating on the site. Less than two years after terminating his 14-year partnership, Theroux admitted to having an affair with Aniston. The pair married in 2015 and divorced in 2018.
Triple H
On and off the screen, Paul “Triple H” Levesque and Joanie “Chyna” Lauer were the most powerful pair in professional wrestling in the late 1990s. Levesque formed an off-screen bond with his on-screen “wife” (wrestling is odd) Stephanie McMahon, at least until Lauer’s back was turned. Levesque and McMahon married in 2003 and went on to rule the WWE for decades. Lauer, on the other hand, died in 2016 after a drug overdose.
Love is an odd thing, to say the least. After all, it leads us to do things we would never have done otherwise! We act in the name of love, confident that everything we do will be successful! Does it, however, always work out for couples who have had an affair? Continue reading to learn which celebs have had failed relationships…
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Although Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have been married for nearly 25 years, their relationship has been marred by controversy. The point of contention is that Arnold had a kid with his maid, Mildred Baena! Despite their 2011 divorce, they are still married.
Jesse James
Many women admitted to having an affair with James during 2010, despite the fact that he was still married to Sandra Bullock. The couple divorced not long after all of these discoveries.
Hank Baskett
Despite the fact that they co-starred on television, Baskett strayed on his pregnant wife, Kendra Wilkinson. To say the least, everyone was taken aback. Baskett attempted to highlight the problem by describing a time when he went to the restroom and saw two transgender women having an affair and attempting to drag him into it. The couple has since reconciled and moved on, maintaining their relationship.
Alex Rodriguez
At the time, Rodriguez was married to Cynthia Scurtis and had an affair with Madonna. Scurtis traveled to Paris once everything was disclosed and told People Magazine that the Madonna affair was the “final straw,” and they had broken up. Despite her allegations of extramarital romances, Madonna was married at the time.
Hugh Grant
Despite the fact that he was dating actress Elizabeth Hurley at the time, he was imprisoned for having sex with a sex worker inside a car. This allegedly occurred in 1995, when he paid $60 for oral sex. The pair attempted to reconcile and continue their relationship, but after five years, they decided to call it quits. On contrary, Grant and Hurley have stayed friends since then, and each of their children has a godparent.
Meg Ryan
When Ryan worked on the blockbuster thriller Proof of Life, he was married to Dennis Quaid. Russell Crowe was Ryan’s co-star on set, and their on-screen romance was undeniably real when they allegedly had an affair. At the time, Crowe was seeing Danielle Spencer, and Ryan’s marriage had ended in divorce.
Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bryant was accused of sexual assault in addition to being punished for infidelity with his wife Vanessa. After what appeared to be amicable kissing escalated into a physical conflict, a hotel concierge was beaten. Because the victim refused to testify, the case was dismissed. Bryant’s wife was photographed sporting a $4 million ring a few days later. Their marriage lasted till his untimely death in 2020.
Kristen Stewart
Stewart was dating Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson at the time of her affair. After she was seen with Rupert Sanders, things swiftly spiraled out of control. Pattinson and Stewart quickly separated up as a result of the event, with Stewart apologizing for everything: “Speaking very candidly, it was a really traumatic period in my early 20s that kick-started something in me that was a bit more feral.”
Hulk Hogan
This was a unique circumstance. A sex film starring Hogan and Heather Cole, who was married to his accomplice ‘Bubba the Love Sponge’ at the time, was released in 2012. After the film was released, Hogan launched a lawsuit against Gawker, and it was revealed in court that Hogan had persuaded Cole’s husband to sleep with him. We’re not sure what to make of this one either.
Katherine McPhee
McPhee, who is best recognized for her work on Smash, was discovered having an affair with Michael Morris, the show’s director. Morris was married to Nick Cokas at the time, while McPhee was married to Mary McPhee. McPhee refused to accept responsibility for the affair, which led to his divorce. According to Ocean Drive Magazine, she said: “I don’t have any regrets, all of the choices I made I learned from in a really deep way.”
Michael Morris
On the previous page, the second half of the story was discussed. He kissed Katherine McPhee in 2013, while being married to actress Mary McCormack since 2003. They must have conquered their difficulties because they had three daughters and are still married.
Marilyn Manson
When Manson was just 18 years old, she met Evan Rachel Wood for the first time. Despite the fact that they were married, Manson and Dita Von Teese dated and remained together following Manson’s divorce. They were eventually engaged, but they decided to call it quits before marriage. According to Rolling Stone, Wood stated that she hadn’t sorted herself out at the time, which contributed to the relationship’s breakdown.
Dean McDermott
When McDermott began working on the TV movie Mind Over Murder, he was married to Mary Jo Eustace. It was here that he met and began his relationship with co-star Tori Spelling. After divorcing their respective partners, they married. McDermott eventually admits to cheating on Spelling on True Tori, saying: “Dean and I met when we were both married to other people, so now that this has happened to me, I know a lot of people are like, ‘Well, karma’s a b*tch,’”. Well, she’s not exactly wrong…
Frank Sinatra
While still married to his first wife, Nancy, Frank Sinatra had an affair with Ava Gardner. After divorcing Nancy, Sinatra married Gardner in 1951. However, he was unfaithful to her, and they divorced in 1957.
Robin Thicke
When photos of Thicke in a pub with another woman surfaced, he was married to Paula Patton. Thicke’s hand was visible on her buttocks in the mirror reflection. Not long after, the couple announced their breakup. Thicke attempted to be unfaithful on Valentine’s Day in the past but was unable to complete the deed owing to the effects of cocaine on his performance, according to court records from 2013.
Gavin Rossdale
Rossdale was found cheating with the nanny while married to Gwen Stefani. Stefani discovered their connection owing to their iPad’s cloud. Stefani was discovered with dirty images and nasty texts by one of the nannies. After the nanny was fired, Rossdale and Stefani split up.
Tiger Woods
Tiger Nordegren had a happy home life until his wife, Eli Nordegren, chased him down with a golf club. Woods attempted to flee in his 2009 Escalade but slammed into hedges. Tiger was rumored to be having multiple affairs, possibly as many as thirteen, according to rumors. The couple divorced three years after the incident.
Simon Cowell
When it was revealed that Cowell was expecting a child with his friend Andrew Silverman’s divorced wife, everyone went crazy. Lauren and Andrew started dating when Lauren was still married to Andrew in 2009. She had been having an affair for four years when she became pregnant. They tied the wedding in 2013.
Ozzy Osbourne
It was astonishing to find that he had an affair with a hairstylist after being married to Sharon Osbourne in 1982. Sharon found out about the affair through Ozzy’s emails. “I’m 63 years old and I can’t keep living like this,” Sharon shared with The Talk. “He’s given me an incredible life and three beautiful children, and I adore him.” They’re still together today.
