17 Celebrities Who Tried To Make Things Work After Cheating Scandals

When we think of #relationshipgoals, we often think about celebrities. When we see them cuddled up on the red carpet or saying adorable things about each other in magazines, we think that they have fairy tale romances. In reality, things might not be so picture perfect. Sometimes, they can be the complete opposite.

Celebrity splits and divorces seem to occur much more frequently than those of us regular folk, and it seems like with the fame, success and money also comes more relationship scandals.

A lot of the time, a scandal causes a celebrity couple’s relationship to crash and burn, often very publicly. Other times, celebrities put on a united front and decide to make things work. In some cases, they end up staying together. Other times, the old wounds never seem to heal completely. Here are celebrity couples who tried to make it work after dealing with cheating scandals.

17. Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade seem to be stronger than ever after going through some hard times. They began dating in 2009 but had to deal with some drama surrounding the athlete’s divorce including lawsuits filed against both individuals.

16. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart

Twihards were desperately hoping that the romance between Edward Cullen and Bella Swan would translate into a real life romance with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. After countless dating rumors, the romance was confirmed and everyone was happy. In 2012, photos of Kristen with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders tore the couple apart, causing Kristen to release a very public apology. They couple split but got back together — and had to go through it all while promoting the final Twilight film. Alas, they split for good in 2013. Of course, some fans are still hoping for a reconciliation but some relationships are best left in the past.

15. Elizabeth Hurley and Hugh Grant

Elizabeth Hurley and Hugh Grant were one of the golden couples of the 1990s. Then they ended up getting involved in a major cheating scandal and trouble with the law. Hugh was arrested in 1995 when he was found with Divine Brown in his car. He had allegedly paid $60 for her to perform oral sex on him. Despite the arrest, Elizabeth stayed with him for five years. In 2000, the couple parted ways after 13 years together. It seemed to be an amicable split as they’re sometimes still papped together.

14. Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott

You could say there was always a bit of drama in Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott’s relationship given that they met in 2005 while filming Mind Over Murder. Trouble was, they were both married at the time. Tori was with Charlie Shanian and Dean was with Mary Jo Eustace. They separated from their respective partners and got married in 2006. In 2013, after four kids together, they became embroiled in a cheating scandal with Dean allegedly cheating on his wife over the holidays. He admitted to it then checked himself into rehab. The couple worked through their issues and things seem alright as they recently celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary.

13. Livia Firth and Colin Firth

This is one scandal that we’re currently in the middle of. Livia Firth and Colin Firth accused Marco Brancaccia of allegedly stalking them. With the investigation, it came out that the pair separated quietly between 2015 and 2016 and she allegedly had a relationship with Marco during that time. Given that the pair was separated, it wasn’t really cheating, but it definitely fits into a love scandal category. Hence why it’s on the list. The stalking case is still being worked on and Livia and Colin are putting out a united front.

12. Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton

Everybody knows the story about the cheating scandal in Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton’s relationship. We’ll say it one more time: Then-president Bill had an affair with his 22-year-old intern Monica Lewinsky.

Despite the political and relationship scandal, Bill and Hillary stayed together.

11. Sienna Miller and Jude Law

He wrote a public apology and admitted the claims were truth and the pair did reconcile. They were on and off for a couple of years, breaking up in 2006 and getting back together in 2009, before going their separate ways in 2011.

10. David Letterman and Regina Lasko

Things were awkward when David Letterman admitted on-air during his show that he had sex with women he worked with. It was a cringe-worthy admission, but it was worse when people considered his wife Regina Lasko. At the time, the couple had been together for 20 years, married for just six months and had a son together. On top of that, there was extortion involved when a boyfriend one of David’s alleged partners, his assistant Stephanie Birkitt, tried to get $2 million to keep silent about it. It all went down in 2009 and Regina and David are still together.

9. Kevin Hart and Eniko Parrish

Kevin Hart and Eniko Parrish are another couple to be caught up in an extortion and cheating scandal.

5. Fergie and Josh Duhamel

Fergie and Josh Duhamel were so adorable together, making it such a shock when an exotic dancer named Nicole Forrester alleged she had a one-night stand with the actor just nine months after he and Fergie tied the knot in 2009.
