Celebrities are always under the spotlight and it’s difficult for them to keep their private lives away from the tabloids. Especially if these are celebrity couples. Some of them like to publicly share all the aspects of their private lives, just like the Kardashians do. There are always a lot of discussions when a new celebrity couple forms but when they break up with cheating rumors it creates a real boom for tabloids and social media forums. We have gathered a list of the most scandalous celebrity cheating stories of all time.
Jason Aldean and Jessica Ussery
In 2012, the 11-years long marriage between Jason Aldean and Jessica Ussery came to an end, when the former was caught cheating on his wife. There are images to prove that he was kissing an American Idol participant with no regard to his marital status.
After the scandal, Jessica divorced her husband and claimed that it was a very difficult period for her and her family. Jason said in one interview that, being the mother of his children, Jessica is still very important to him, and the same goes for their kids.
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston
One of the most beloved couples in Hollywood, Brad Pitt and Jeniffer Aniston were considered to be the perfect relationship model, at least until 2005. When Pitt had started working alongside Angelina Jolie in the action film Mr. and Mrs. Smith, rumors started spreading that he had cheated on Aniston with his co-star Jolie.
It's debated whether the affair truly existed, but Aniston and Pitt did get divorced after 5 years of marriage, and curiously, Pitt started dating Jolie that same year, and they got engaged in 2012. Although they were married for a while and had six kids- three of whom were adopted - this marriage also ended in a rather ugly divorce.
Eva Longoria and Tony Parker
Fans of Eva Longoria may remember that in 2010 she was once married to an NBA star Tony Parker. Their marriage lasted for only three short years, as they got divorced when Longoria found out that her husband was talking to their friend’s wife behind her back.
This broke the trust between the couple completely, and a friend of Longoria's later revealed that she was terribly heartbroken and had felt that the marriage couldn’t possibly continue after this.
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott’s love story began in a movie set back in 2005, however, at the time, they were both married to other people. Although they both claim that they were never unfaithful, both Spelling and McDermott divorced their then-spouses in 2005 and 2006 respectively.
Later that same year, the happy couple went to Fiji on a vacation and got married there. They are happily married to this day - lucky for them and unlucky for their ex-partners.

A big cheating scandal erupted when actress Morena Baccarin was pregnant with another man's child while being married to them-husband Austin Chick. When it was revealed that she got pregnant during her affair with co-star Ben McKenzie while still married, which turned into huge news. Their daughter was born in 2016.
Later, Baccarin announced that she was actually separated from her husband for a while before getting pregnant, but the documentation of her divorce and the timing of the pregnancy didn’t really match up. But never mind that, since she got divorced and married Ben in 2017.
Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson
Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson got married in 1989. The couple was inseparable, even appearing in many movies together, but their marriage ended abruptly based on cheating rumors in 1995. Apparently, Branagh had cheated on Thompson with another talented co-star - Helena Bonham Carter.

Jack Nicholson and Anjelica Huston
One of the most beautiful love stories in the history of Hollywood that had a sad ending was that of Jack Nicholson and Anjelica Huston, who shared a very complicated relationship for seventeen years. They were on and off for a long period of time, until Nicholson announced that he got another woman pregnant.
This news spelled the ending of their relationship, which has been discussed by them in many many interviews. And although they acknowledged how much they meant to each other, they admitted that it was a hopeless love.
Katharine McPhee and Michael Morris
Back in 2013, Katharine McPhee and Michael Morris were both caught cheating on their respective spouses. At that time, Morris was directing the series that McPhee was acting in when they were caught kissing by the paparazzi.

Robert Lange and Shania Twain
What a complicated love story. Grammy winner Shania Twain’s marriage of fourteen years came to an end when she sadly discovered that her husband, music producer Robert Lange, and her best friend were having a relationship behind her back.
After the couple divorced in 2010. Twain stated in one of her interviews that "it was like I was kicked off my own bus while it was moving full speed". What’s crazier about this love triangle is that later, Shania married the ex-husband of her betraying best friend.
Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook
The supermodel Christie Brinkley’s twelve-year marriage came to an end back in 2008 when she revealed that her husband, Peter Cook, had cheated on her. Cook admitted to being in a relationship with his assistant, who was 19 years old, while they were married.
The couple got divorced and later in an interview, Christie revealed that her Cook had always ruined her happy moments. He later defended himself in a different interview by saying that this was nothing more than her way of seeking attention. What a lovely couple.
Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore
One of the most talked-about couples in Hollywood, due to their age difference, is Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. The two were married for six years before it came crashing down after Kutcher cheated on the beautiful actress.
On the day of their anniversary, Kutcher spent the night with a young lad,y and convinced her that he broke up with Moore at the time. The couple got divorced in 2012, but everything turned out great for Ashton, as he is now happily married to Mila Kunis and they have two beautiful children.
David Letterman and Regina Lasko
David Letterman had some serious relationship issues back in 2009. At that time he was married to Regina Lasko for only six months, but the couple had actually been together for twenty years. In 2009 it was revealed that Letterman had affairs with multiple women he had worked with, one of whom was his personal assistant.
It was this particular affair that exposed the whole ordeal when said assistant's boyfriend found out and demanded that Letterman pay him for his silence. It didn't work, however, since Letterman admitted that he had affairs with other women and worked to repair his marriage. And so far, everything seems to be going well the Lettermans.
Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren
The famous golf player, Tiger Woods, had one of the filthiest, most well-known divorce stories to ever happen in Hollywood, with him being playing the unfaithful part. In 2009, his marriage to the Swedish beauty Elin Nordegren came to an end when the rumors of Tiger's cheating surfaced and later confirmed.
The golf player had in fact cheated on his wife with multiple women, which is, perhaps, an understatement. He even admitted during various interviews that he had affairs behind his wife’s back.
Jesse James and Sandra Bullock
The year 2010 was one of the best and worst of Sandra Bullock’s life. That year she won an oscar, arguably the best thing that can happen to any actor, but shortly after that triumph, her marriage collapsed when she found out about her husband’s infidelity. It turned out that her husband, Jesse James, had cheated on her with a stripper.
Of course, they got divorced and a year later during an interview, Jesse not only confirmed his cheating but also added that it was a normal and natural thing for men to do. He also claimed that he wasn’t a relationship kind of guy. Surprising.
Spencer Matthews and Louise Thompson
Another TV show couple entry on this, this time from Made in Chelsea - Spencer Matthews and Louise Thompson - which are one of the most scandalous couples of the show. They had a very bumpy relationship during the filming when Spencer was cheating on Louise, making her cry all day long.
So, eventually, they broke up, but ended up maintaining an on-and-off relationship. That being said, Spencer admitted a couple of times that he had, in fact, cheated on Louise many times, so it appears that it wasn't the healthiest of relationships.
Ellie Brown and Charlie Brake
It’s time for some Love Island drama. The TV show couple, Ellie Brown and Charlie Brake seemed to be on a great track with their relationship. Despite them being on the verge of breaking up in the show, when Brown found out he was a millionaire, things changed.
After the TV show ended, however, the couple called it quits, and during the reunion of Love Island, Ellie publicly called him a liar and announced that he had cheated on her and she even had photos to prove it. Definitely not couple goals.
Samira Mighty and Frankie Foster
Another Love Island couple drama. This time we have our eyes on Samira Mighty and Frankie Foster, so let’s see who cheated on who this time. They were a couple on the show and when Frankie got kicked off the show, Samira decided to support him and save their relationship, leaving the show willingly.

While filming TOWIE, Lucy Mecklenburgh couldn’t hide from Mario that she had been unfaithful anymore. She started crying and confessed that she had cheated on him with her ex-boyfriend while she was on a vacation in Ibiza, and Mario broke up with her immediately for her lies.
However, Mecklenburgh had managed to fix everything, they began dating again and even got engaged. But there was no happy ending for their relationship, as they broke up in 2013. The reason for them breaking up was Mario’s announcement that stated he didn’t actually want to propose to her.
Jeffree Star and Kanye West
Wait, what? That was everybody's response to this rumor. As a very weird rumor about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s divorce was starting to spread across social media back in January 2021, Twitter users claimed that West was seen having an affair with YouTuber Jeffree Star.
Star denied the rumors back in February, and then again in June as the internet wouldn't rest. STar said in an interview that he found the rumor entertaining. “I thought it was hilarious, I love rumors. I think they’re funny, but some girl on TikTok made it up and it went viral before I even knew.”
Katie Price and Kieran Hayler
In 2014, the fans of Katie Price and Kieran Hayler were shocked when Katie announced that her husband had been cheating on her.

Yet, in 2017 Hayler was caught cheating again. This time he had been cheating on his wife with their children's nanny. Only a few months later, Price broke up with him for good after she revealed that he had yet another affair, this time with a 19-year-old.

Again Katie Price with her love life drama. This time poor Katie was cheated on by Danny Cipriani. They started dating in 2011 but everything came to an end when Katie caught him with someone else.
Later in her autobiography, she shared some intimate details about Danny saying - "In my experience he was a bit – erm – lean in the most obvious departments. That's why I nicknamed him Danny Chipolata. He can no longer hit the right spots on the rugby field and he certainly can't find them on a woman."
Kelly Brooks and Danny Cipriani
Danny Cipriani strikes again. He couldn’t stop cheating on Katie, and his next victim was Kelly Brooks. The couple dated for a good two years, but it came to an end due to Cipriani’s infidelity. It turned out that he exchanged numbers with a stripper while they were hanging out in a club with Brooks.
When she found out, she slapped him across the face (that was definitely the best thing to do at the moment) and broke up with him. Later, Brooks battled over Danny with Katie Price on Twitter, though he cheated on both of them and the wisest thing to do for them was probably teaming up.
Eddie Cibrian and LeAnne Rimes
In 2008 Hollywood was shocked after the news of Eddie Cibrian and LeAnne Rimes cheating on their spouses came to the surface. They met while shooting a movie together and this is when their romance began. Eventually, Eddie divorced his wife and LeAnne divorced her husband.
The couple got married in 2011 and they continue to live together happily ever after. You could say it was fate that brought these two together on the same set, a scenario that allowed them to fall in love.
Rob Kardashian and Rita Ora
Just like all the Kardashians, Rob isn't far behind all his sisters' drama. In 2012 the press was shocked by the news that according to Kardashian, Rita Ora had cheated on him with twenty different men while they were in a relationship.
