The charming British actor and his stunning girlfriend were once a golden couple. However, Hugh Grant was caught with his trousers down with now-infamous Divine Brown.

Though Elizabeth Hurley first forgave Hugh Grant for having public sex with a sex worker, they eventually separated five years after the scandal in 1995.

This cheater's image was ruined - he was an English darling, but that was all gone once he paid 60 dollars for some action and got caught.

Schwarzenegger and Shriver separated in 2011. They were together for 25 years, and though sad, it is not uncommon.

However, once the actor revealed that he had a son from his affair with the family's housekeeper Mildred Patricia Baena in 1997, everyone was shocked.

Schwarzenegger admitted to the affair to have a better relationship with his son Joseph Baena. Though understandable, imagine being in Shriver's shoes. Or how their children felt.

They had two children in just six years of marriage. But that wasn't enough for the famed sportsman.

Woods slept with over 120 women during his first marriage. One of his celebrity girlfriends was Rachel Uchitel, a TV correspondent and nightclub owner.

Is it cheating if you are separated?

Jada and Will Smith were among the most stable Hollywood couple. But, in July 2020, Jada admitted that she had an affair with August Alsina.

Pinkett Smith gave herself a seat in her talk show, Red Table, and spoke about when Will and she were in a dark place. She called it an "entanglement."

The couple was on the verge of divorce, and Smith even gave his blessings to his wife and her new lover.

During her marriage to the lawyer, Kris also had a fling with Todd Waterman, a 23-year-old soccer player for the Los Angeles Heat.

We are assuming he is her "Ryan." However, many suggest that there are more juicy stories about Kris. The couple got married in 1978 and divorced in 1991. They remained close until he died in 2003.

Despite the scandal from 2017, Hart managed to get out of hot water, and they had another child in 2020.

The whole scandal was juicy and sad at the same time. Hart was caught on video with a model Montia Sabbag. Someone released it and tried to extort him for millions of dollars.

Though the wife forgave him, she very publicly stated:

"Right then and there, I just kept saying, 'How the f––- did you let that happen?' You publicly humiliated me. Everything is on Instagram, everything is on social media. So it was an ongoing fight all the time. Every single day. I kept questioning him, like, 'If this is what you want to do, I don't want to be a part of that.'"

Hart later praised his wife, calling her "the strongest person in the world."
