You know what they say: once a cheater, always a cheater. But sometimes, even widespread
allegations of affairs don't stop notoriously unfaithful celebrities from finding love.
From Jude Law to Hugh Grant, these stars landed lasting relationships after some of the most
highly publicized cheating scandals in history.
"What is Jude Law up to? God knows."
Jude Law is famous for his complicated love life. According to News of the World, the
British actor's first marriage to Sadie Frost struggled after they swapped partners with
Supergrass drummer Danny Goffey and his future wife, Pearl Lowe. Law reportedly developed
an obsession with Lowe and began, quote, "begging her to have an affair." Though Law denied
it, Frost confirmed the report to the outlet in 2005.
"I don't know exactly how to say it."
"Sure you do, Alfie."
"You've had plenty of experience dumping girls."
Then, during Law's engagement to Sienna Miller, the actor fell victim to the cliche of cheating
with the nanny. According to The New York Post, the caretaker confirmed the dalliance,
and Law later copped to it, in a statement.
But today, Law seems to have steered his love life away from Hollywood and into the real
world. According to Harper's Bazaar, he's been linked to psychologist Phillipa Coan,
since 2015. Page Six reports that the pair tied the knot in 2019 and welcomed their first
child together the following year.
"This must be what having it all is."
"And then ten days after that, this article comes out."
Halle Berry's former husband, Eric Benét, was involved in a cheating scandal so infamous
that it warranted a shout-out in Jay-Z's 4:44. In a 2004 Oprah interview, Berry admitted
that she found out about the affair in the tabloids, but it wasn't until Benét flew
to London, where Berry was filming, that she discovered the actual truth was even worse.
"I found out there was woman after woman after woman after woman after woman. And then I
realized he had a sickness."
Benét enrolled in a 12-step program to quell his penchant for stepping out, according to
Daily Mail, but it wasn't enough to save the relationship. Berry filed for divorce in 2004
after about three years of marriage. Benét spoke out years later and claimed he was not
actually an addict, telling New York Magazine that his cheating amounted to…
"Making some stupid-a--, stupid-a-- mistakes."
Today, he's managed to maintain a lasting relationship with Prince's ex-wife Manuela
Testolini. According to Us Weekly, they tied the knot in 2011.
"To recap in a slightly clearer version, in the words of David Cassidy, in fact, while
he was still with The Partridge Family, I think I love you."
When Hugh Grant burst onto the scene with Four Weddings and a Funeral, he was hailed
as a bashful-but-charming heartthrob. But it appeared that the ultimate rom-com lead
immediately took his good reputation — and his longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley — for
granted.
In 1995, Grant was in Los Angeles, promoting his film, Nine Months. And according to The
Guardian, the star was driving around the Sunset Strip when he picked up a woman known
as Divine Brown and paid her to perform an explicit act. They were both arrested, but
it was Brown who really made out. She reportedly scored $100,000 from News of the World for
the first-hand scoop. Grant, on the other hand, had to pay a $1,000 fine and face the
music, in the press.
Though Grant and Hurley split in 2000 after 13 years, Closer revealed that they're still
good friends. Grant has also managed to finally tie the knot. According to Marie Claire, he
married Anna Eberstein in 2018, and the pair share three kids.
It's unclear which came first: the British tabloids or the first royal scandal. Either
way, the Royal family got a load of bad press when Prince Charles was caught cheating on
the people's princess. His affair with his former girlfriend, Camilla Parker Bowles,
effectively destroyed his marriage to Princess Diana. In 1995, the Princess admitted to BBC
News,
"There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded."
"Your kindness and affection has carried me though some of the most difficult periods."
According to the Mirror, the royal couple split a month before "Camillagate" went public
with a leaked transcript of an intimate 1989 conversation between Charles and his mistress.
The chat was salacious enough that it landed Camilla the title of "most hated woman in
Britain." But, as we know now, Camilla wasn't going anywhere. The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall
tied the knot in 2005, a whopping 35 years after they first went on a date.
Ashton Kutcher may be a modern-day superhero, dedicating himself to multiple worthy causes,
but there was a time where his actions were less commendable. According to Us Weekly,
the actor allegedly cheated on Demi Moore on their sixth anniversary — with two girls
in a hot tub.
"One thing led to another and I ended up staying the night."
Sara Leal, one of the women in question, eventually
came forward and spilled the dirty details,
claiming that Kutcher told her that he was "separated" from the actress. Moore later
told ABC News that she found out about her husband's cheating through a cellphone Google
Alert. When questioned, Kutcher reportedly owned up to it right away.
After the release of Moore's bombshell memoir Inside Out, Kutcher cryptically tweeted about
resisting his desire to comment. As he put it, life has been good ever since he tied
the knot with Mila Kunis, whom he dated on-screen during his run with That '70s Show. The pair
have since started a family.
Kelsey Grammer made the unfortunate blunder of cheating on a reality star, which thrust
his infidelity into the spotlight as it played out on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
"When I got married, I thought I was gonna be married until the day I died. You know,
better or worse, til death do us part."
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, Kelsey admitted that he fell in love with British
flight attendant Kayte Walsh and embarked on a six-month affair before leaving Housewives
star, Camille Grammer, his wife of over a decade and mother to their two kids. Kelsey
claimed he first met Walsh on a flight to England, recalling,
"It was very romantic, she was working on the plane. We went out for coffee several
days later and had this magical night in the snow in London around Christmas time."
"We have a love that I think can survive just about anything."
Kelsey's messy divorce was cemented in Bravo history. In 2011, Camille reportedly walked
away with a $30 million divorce settlement, and Kelsey walked away with a new wife. According
to E!, Walsh and the actor tied the knot later that year and have since had three children.
"He may be the most eligible bachelor in America."
Donald Trump has been a tabloid regular for decades, largely because of relationship drama.
Most famously, former adult film star Stormy Daniels told In Touch that she had an intimate
encounter with The Donald right after his third wife, Melania, gave birth to their son,
Barron. Former Playboy model Karen McDougal also told The New Yorker that they had an
affair.
"Success is not necessarily very good for a relationship."
But when it comes to Melania, the two may just be a perfect match. Trump and first wife
Ivana divorced in 1991 after his affair with Marla Maples. Melania came into the picture
in 1998, a year after Trump and Maples called it quits.
In 2020, Kristen Stewart put all the tabloid drama behind her. According to Elle, she's
been dating screenwriter Dylan Meyer for more than a year.
"Will you propose? Absolutely. When? I can't f------ wait."
But before that, Stewart was the first one to admit that her love life was, quote, "sort
of cagey," according to InStyle. And that was never more apparent than during the actor's
most infamous tabloid moment.
In 2012, Stewart was at the height of her
Twilight fame, and her highly publicized relationship
with co-star Robert Pattinson had been tabloid fodder for years. But that summer, paparazzi
caught the actress canoodling with Rupert Sanders, her Snow White and the Huntsman director,
who also had a wife and kids. According to Us Weekly, the actress publicly apologized
the same day the tabloid published the photos.
Notoriously private about her love life, it was only during a 2019 appearance on The Howard
Stern Show that she glossed over her relationship with Pattinson and, by proxy, the scandal,
when she said,
"I've actually never been allowed to just say what happened because I was so self-conscious
about seeming like an attention seeker."
In 2009, Forbes named Woods the first professional athlete to earn a whopping $1 billion. But
none of that money stopped The National Enquirer from immortalizing the golfer's cheating scandal
on the front page and destroying his marriage to Elin Nordegren in the span of a weekend.
The outlet's report detailed Woods' alleged infidelity with a New York City nightclub
hostess, which was actually a lot less interesting than the events that took place after his
wife found out. It involved a sort of undercover sting in which Nordegren pretended to be Woods
and texted, quote, "I miss you" to the hostess from her husband's phone. The hostess then
inadvertently blew up the golf pro's spot, at which point Nordegren chased Woods out
of the house, wielding a golf club. The hubbub ended with Woods peeling out of his driveway
and crashing his Escalade into a tree.
"I was living a life of a lie. I really was. And I was doing a lot of things, as I said,
that hurt a lot of people."
While Woods' reputation may still be on the mend, his longtime girlfriend, Erica Herman,
doesn't seem to mind. According to the Express, they've been dating since 2017, and she regularly
attends his tournaments.
It appears that Khloe Kardashian had to endure the ultimate betrayal before reigniting her
relationship with baby daddy, Tristan Thompson. If you believe the rumors, she got a taste
of her own medicine. If you don't, you still can't help who you love.
"Every relationship I go into, they're always disappointing and f----- up."
According to Glamour, Thompson has been subject to cheating rumors since the start of their
relationship, which people claimed began while
he was still involved with his pregnant ex-girlfriend,
Jordan Craig. Kardashian has since denied this, and in an Instagram Story, she revealed
that they were set up on a blind date after things didn't work out with Craig. It should
be noted that she called it her truth, which may very well not be Thompson's truth, though
she did claim that his mother confirmed his single status.
But Tristan and Khloe's relationship ended like it began: with cheating rumors. In 2018,
TMZ caught Thompson allegedly cheating on the reality star while she was pregnant with
their daughter True. Their relationship didn't end until the following year when, according
to People, Thompson hooked up with Kylie Jenner's longtime friend Jordyn Woods. Still, as of
2020, a source told the tabloid that Khloe
and Tristan were, quote, "giving their relationship
another try."
"I can do anything I like, to anyone I like. With their consent."
Woody Allen's cheating scandal is a thing for the Hollywood history books. If Mia Farrow
and the director had ever actually gotten married, he would've ended up in an affair
with his stepdaughter. But because they didn't, he's floating in a grey area that's not exactly
legally wrong, but still, it's downright bizarre.
According to The New York Times, Farrow adopted Soon-Yi Previn in 1977 when she was about
seven years old. Allen started dating Farrow a couple of years later, and the pair had
their son Ronan. By 1991, the director had adopted Farrow's other children, Dylan and
Moses. But he didn't file the same paperwork for Previn, who was 21 years old at the time.
Instead, they embarked on an affair, which Mia discovered the following year when she
found a racy photograph of her daughter in Allen's apartment. Shortly after, Allen and
Previn confirmed their relationship, and they've been together ever since.
Though Allen's marriage has been widely criticized,
especially in the wake of daughter Dylan's
assault allegations, Previn has consistently defended her marriage, bluntly telling Newsweek
in 2018,
"I'm not a […] little underage flower who was […] molested, and spoiled by some evil
stepfather — not by a long shot."
