Billy Bob Thornton Cheated on Laura Dern with Angelina Jolie
We hate saying this, but American actor Billy Bob Thorton may just be one of the biggest Hollywood cheaters. The actor married Angelina Jolie while he was dating actress Laura Dern. In fact, Laura and Billy were engaged to be married when he cheated on her and left her without any notice. She was planning to live with him in some deluxe house and start a family. So imagine her shock when she heard about Billy and Angelina getting married while she was away working on a movie project. This must be the worst news she had ever received. Billy and Angelina married in 2000 but separated in 2003. Billy got married six times, and now he's with his wife of three years- Connie Angland.

One one of the most prominent names in the fashion industry, the stunning Heidi Klum was married to musician Seal from 2005 to 2012. The model, businesswoman, fashion designer, and author was crazy in love with Seal since the very beginning, but that didn't stop her from cheating on him with her bodyguard, Martin Kirsten. When Seal learned about the affair, he contacted a divorce attorney, and the couple legally separated after being married for seven years. Later, Heidi Klum admitted to seeing Martin, but she asserted that they didn't have a romantic relationship. However, the damage had already been done and Seal decided to move on for good.
Tori Spelling Cheated on Charlie Shanian with Dean McDermott
You probably remember that time when American actress Tori Spelling appeared as Donna Martin on one of the most popular television series ever, Beverly Hills 90210. The show was produced by her father Aaron Spelling. After the show, she gained international recognition and her career began to rise. She married actor Charlie Shanian back in 2004. After consulting their financial adviser, the couple purchased a real estate property and started living together. Unfortunately, their marriage didn't last long as she was caught cheating on her husband with actor Dean McDermott. Back then, Dean was married to actress Mary Jo Eustace. Tori divorced Charlie in 2006 and married Dean that same year. Ironically, in 2013, rumors circulated that Dean might be cheating on Tori.
Britney Spears Cheated on Justin Timberlake with Her Choreographer & Her Childhood Friend
If you were a teen in the ‘90s, chances are that you were obsessed with Justin and Britney, and even more so when the two pop stars started dating in 1999. However, this high profile relationship ended up infamously in 2002 making millions of their fans devastated. Rumor has it that the reason behind the split was Brit’s cheating on Justin with her then choreographer Wade Robson and that Robson himself was the one to break the news to Justin. But that’s not all! Brit’s childhood friend, Jason Alexander later revealed that he and Britney allegedly used to be friends with benefits while the pop princess was still dating JT. Well, whatever happened, judging by Brit’s net worth of $215 million and $230 million sitting in Justin's savings account, these two have moved on nicely.
Coco Austin Cheated on Ice-T with AP.9
Glamour model Coco Austin and veteran actor and rapper, Ice-T tied the knot in 2002. But in 2013, just a year after they renewed their wedding vows and were getting ready to move into their brand-new luxury house in New Jersey, their marriage was put on a test. As it happened, while giving a performance in Las Vegas, Coco was photographed being flirty with rapper AP.9. According to the rapper, that wasn’t everything that happened that night and he was more than willing to go public with his claims that the two of them were intimate, which Coco firmly denied. Rumor has it that Ice-T considered hiring a divorce attorney, but eventually decided to give their marriage another shot. Since they still share a savings account, we guess the rapper found a way to forgive his wife.
Ethan Hawke Cheated on Uma Thurman with Their Nanny
Like most actors, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman met on a film set. By 1998, they were married and expecting their first baby, and they welcomed their second child four years later. However, in 2003, the Hollywood actors announced their separation after Hawke allegedly cheated on the Kill Bill star with their nanny. Whether Uma’s divorce attorney managed to get a bigger chunk of their mutual real estate empire, or at least a huge alimony and child support, we don’t really know, but what we do know is that Hawke married the nanny in 2008, proving that the infidelity scandal wasn’t just a made-up story after all.
Anne Heche Cheated On Ellen Degeneres with a Cameraman, Then Cheated on Him with James Tupper
Just when we thought that Anne would take Hollywood by storm, she shifted her focus from acting and embarked on the most famous gay relationship in the industry with TV hostess Ellen DeGeneres. The two lovebirds shared a $3.5 deluxe house in LA, held hands, and seemed crazy in love for the next three and a half years until 2000 when they decided to part ways. Reportedly, the split came as a result of Heche’s cheating on Ellen with cameraman Colet Laffon, whom she married the next year. However, the 6-year marriage ended up with Laffon hiring a divorce attorney and Heche losing the custody battle over their son in 2007. Once again, Heche was rumored to have been unfaithful, this time with Men in Trees co-star James Tupper whom she has been dating ever since.
Billy Crudup Cheated on Mary-Louise Parker with Claire Danes
Even though it has been years and years since actor Billy Crudup left his then seven-month pregnant girlfriend Mary-Louise Parker, the public just can’t let go of the scandal. As it happened, the 7-year relationship between the actors ended with Crudup walking away on Parker after meeting co-star Claire Danes on the set of Stage Beauty in 2003 and starting a four-year relationship with her. Despite having been dumped months before giving birth to a son, Parker doesn’t seem to hold any grudge against her former boyfriend. In fact, she named their son William after him. Well, that’s sweet, isn't it? And you know what else is sweet? The fact that, judging by his parents’ savings accounts, William junior probably won’t need a home loan or mortgage ever in his life!
Elizabeth Taylor Cheated on Eddie Fisher with Richard Burton
One of the most iconic actresses ever to grace Hollywood had a rather turbulent love life, to say the least. Her divorce attorney, on the other hand, was one lucky guy if we are to judge upon seven divorces she went through. And while all her splits were the subject of intense media attention, her 1964 divorce from singer Eddie Fisher after five years of marriage was particularly intriguing due to the infidelity scandal surrounding it. As it turned out, Taylor started an affair with legendary actor Richard Burton in 1962 while the two were filming Cleopatra. Rumors about their romance started flying immediately, and those were confirmed two years later. Taylor wed Burton only nine days after being granted a divorce and their marriage lasted for 12 years (with a brief divorce in 1974).
Jack Nicholson Cheated on Anjelica Huston with Rebecca Broussard
Jack Nicholson is a one of a kind actor as well as one of the most notorious womanizers in the industry. He proved the latter on many occasions yet actress Anjelica Huston is the one who learned the lesson the hard way. The two actors were on and off for 17 years until 1989 when Nicholson broke the news over dessert that he was expecting a baby with much-younger actress Rebecca Broussard. Even though they never got married officially, or shared a real estate, following their breakup, Nicholson allegedly ordered his attorney and manager to arrange a meeting with Huston and discuss the financial compensation, which the actress categorically refused. Judging by $40 million sitting in her savings account, Huston is more than well-off despite turning down the generous offer.
David Letterman Cheated on Regina Lasko with Stephanie Birkitt
Just years before retiring from his memorable Late Show, David Letterman found himself in the middle of a huge scandal when he went public about his affair with an intern for which CBS producer Robert Halderman was trying to extort $2 million from him. This confession together with a public apology came in October 2009 months after Lettermen married his long-time partner Regina Lasko. With or without therapy, the retired host and his wife found a way to work their problems out and, these days, the couple seems stronger than ever. Even though his coming clean about his bad ways could have jeopardized both his career and savings account, Letterman didn’t get fired by CBS; otherwise, he could have been forced to say bye-bye to at least one deluxe house from his real estate portfolio.
Josh Duhamel Cheated on Fergie with an Exotic Dancer
The Black Eye Peas singer Fergie met actor Josh Duhamel in 2004 while filming an episode of Duhamel’s gambling show. By 2007, they were engaged and two years later, they said their “I do’s." However, not long after the wedding ceremony took place, rumors about the actor’s one night stand with an exotic dancer started circulating in the press. Despite the dancer herself confirming the speculations, Fergie decided to stay beside her man. It seemed like the two managed to overcome the rocky start, even more so after the singer gave birth to their baby boy in 2013 until earlier this year when the couple broke the news about their separation. The details of their split, including the distribution of their assets, real estate, and investments, are still kept secret.
Kobe Bryant Cheated on Vanessa Laine Bryant with a Hotel Employee
He may be one of the most legendary names in the NBA, yet there was nothing legendary about the indecent assault charges Bryant was facing back in 2003. Not only did those threatened to ruin his career and marriage, but they also caused serious financial issues to the athlete who got quite a few endorsement contracts terminated at the time. Still, refinancing a home loan wouldn’t have been the worst thing he would be dealing with if his criminal defense attorney hadn’t reached a settlement with the hotel employee who filed a complaint. To make things up with his wife, Bryant treated her with a $4-million diamond ring since, let’s be real, nothing says “sorry” better than draining your savings account. Judging by Vanessa reportedly filing for divorce in 2011, Bryant may have needed another gift once again.
Frank Sinatra Cheated on Nancy Barbato with Ava Gardner
Frank Sinatra was married four times and his list of lovers included some the most gorgeous women in the world. That being said, it was no wonder that the love life of the music icon was filled to the brim with controversies, yet the biggest scandal of all arose from his cheating on his first wife Nancy with Hollywood siren Ava Gardner. Despite his infidelity, Nancy allegedly wasn’t ready to let Sinatra go until the notorious adulterer finally agreed with his divorce attorney in having a lucrative settlement in 1951. Only nine days after his 12-year marriage was dissolved, Sinatra tied the knot with Gardner which would eventually save his career and savings account but ruin the singer emotionally.
David Boreanaz Cheated on Jaime Bergman with Rachel Uchitel
What do Angel star David Boreanaz and golf legend Tiger Woods have in common? Apparently, a mistress! But while Woods ended up at a rehab and hiring a divorce attorney due to his affair with the former nightclub host, Boreanaz reveals that his cheating on his pregnant wife at the time only helped their marriage. As strange as it may seem, six years after the scandal and 16 years after tying the knot at the Playboy mansion, the actor and former Playboy playmate Jaime Bergman are still together. Whether the scandal took a toll on Boreanaz's credit card balance, we don’t know, but judging by their 2013 investment in a nail polish business, we may assume that they won’t be refinancing their home loan anytime soon.
Jon Gosselin Cheated on Kate Gosselin with a School Teacher
We watched them tackle their daily errands, travel the world, and try to keep their romance going while taking care of eight kids. And despite the hardships, it really seemed like Kate and Jon Gosselin had everything figured out until they made a shocking announcement about their separation in 2009. Even though the couple decided to keep the divorce details private, the information about Jon's alleged affair with school teacher Deanna Hummel soon surfaced in the media. Whether the cheating was the turning point in their 10-year marriage, we don’t really know, but what we do know for sure is that Kate had a better divorce attorney judging by the fact that she was granted prime custody of their children and also the luxury house the family was living in.
Kevin Federline Cheated on Shar Jackson with Britney Spears
You've probably heard about Britney Spears' short-lived marriage with backup dancer Kevin Federline. However, you might not be familiar with the fact that the dancer was engaged to and expecting a second baby with actress Shar Jackson when he started dating the pop princess in 2004. Allegedly, Jackson learned about the affair after her fiancé at the time went on a business trip which would turn out to be a really long and not-so-business trip with Britney. Federline and Brit tied the knot the same year only to divorce three years later. Even though Federline was widely regarded as a gold-digger, not even the best divorce attorney could have helped him get a chunk of Brit’s fortune since the pop star made sure to protect her valuable real estate and savings in a prenup agreement.
Balthazar Getty Cheated on Rosetta Millington with Sienna Miller
Back in 2008, Balthazar Getty made quite a few headlines when the photos of him kissing a topless British actress Sienna Miller reached the media. This might not have been that much of a big deal if only the actor-turned-DJ hadn’t been happily married to fashion designer Rosetta Millington for eight years at the time. This way, the photos in question resulted in Getty’s split from his wife and mother of his four kids. Luckily for everyone except for their divorce attorneys, Millington decided to make peace with the past and take her husband back. But even though Getty claims that their marriage has been only stronger after his infidelity, we wouldn’t quite advice you to follow in his footsteps next time your marriage is going through a crisis. Just saying.
Jason Aldean Cheated on Jessica Ann Ussery with Brittany Kerr
Country superstar Jason Aldean and former American Idol contestant Brittany Kerr are now happily married with a baby, but it wasn’t the case back in 2012 when they were caught kissing at a bar by a photographer. At that time, his wife was Jessica Ann Ussery and they had been together for 11 years. Consequently, the photos required both explanations and apologies. Even though the singer called his making out with Kerr a drunken mistake and seemingly made peace with his wife, the two were going through a divorce the next year. The funny part of the story is that instead of Jessica, Aldean was the one to contact his divorce attorney and initiate the split. However, we are not sure who got the bigger part of their saving.
David Bowie Cheated on Angie Bowie with Mick Jagger
One thing was sure, the love life of late David Bowie was everything but conventional. Still, no one expected that the rock legend would apparently end up being intimate with The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. And the one who was probably shocked the most was Bowie’s first wife Angie who actually caught the two rock stars sleeping au naturel in bed. The secret obviously didn’t remain inside the walls of their deluxe house even though Angie later tried to deny the insinuations by saying that she never said that the two musicians got physical, but only slept in the same bed. Anyhow, until 1980, the marriage of Angie and David, as well as their mutual savings, became the matter of divorce attorneys.
Jesse James Cheated on Sandra Bullock with Tattoo-Covered Women
Motorcycle builder Jesse James is currently having a blast next to his wife number four, but years before the two moved into their $2-million deluxe house in Texas, James was in the middle of a huge scandal. As it happened, while married to everyone’s sweetheart Sandra Bullock, James allegedly had affairs with a number of tattooed women who went public about it in 2010. After issuing a public apology to Bullock, James even signed himself up for rehab to try to talk Bullock out of a divorce. However, the actress wasn’t ready to forgive the embarrassment and pain she suffered and had her divorce attorney take care of their failed 5-year marriage soon after. We can only hope that Bullock had Jesse sign a prenup agreement to prevent her cheating ex-husband from dipping into her savings.
Johnny Cash Cheated on Vivian Liberto with June Carter
The first wife of Johnny Cash, Vivian Liberto, had solid reasons to end their 15-year union in 1966. Aside from drug and alcohol addictions that the late singer had battled, Johnny's close relationship with fellow musician June Carter had Vivian turning to her divorce attorney to end their marriage. Even though it was never officially confirmed that June and Cash were lovers while the singer was still married, his proposing to June only two years after parting ways with Vivian spoke volumes. Johnny’s second marriage lasted for 35 years until June’s death in 2003, and the singer himself died less than four months later. Despite his severe addictions, and probably a huge divorce settlement for Vivian, Cash was still a very rich man at the time of his passing with reportedly $100 million in his savings account.
David Beckham Cheated on Victoria Beckham with Rebecca Loos
Even one of the most powerful couples has had their fair share of troubles in their 18-year-long marriage. Although they allegedly never considered getting divorce attorneys involved, we bet the Beckhams won’t forget 2004 anytime soon.
