15 Celeb Hotties Who Forgot They Had Wives
In many ways, celebrities are just like the rest of us. Sure, they live in huge mansions and have careers that give them paychecks most of us could never even dream of. They have staff to help them with the annoying things like running errands, and often have a team to make sure they're always looking their best. However, when it comes to relationships, they have the same drama as any regular person. They have the same heartbreak and issues - the only difference is, they're constantly followed by the paparazzi who can document every step of the process.
If a celebrity is going through a breakup, chances are their sad face will be plastered across the front page of every tabloid. If a celebrity starts up a new relationship, same thing - you'll see them and their new partner on those first dates, because a paparazzi will probably be following them. And, when it comes to cheating, they have a way bigger chance of getting caught - because that's exactly the type of juicy story that the paparazzi love breaking to tabloids and gossip sites with.
It's bad enough when a celebrity cheats on their partner, but when one cheats on their spouse? It's a whole different ball game - and the public is often not too impressed.
Here are 15 celeb hotties who momentarily forgot they had wives and got caught up in a cheating scandal.
15 Jude Law
When Jude Law started dating actress Sienna Miller, it seemed like a match made in heaven. They were two gorgeous blonde actors with a kind of relaxed, boho vibe that just meshed. He even proposed to her and was all set to make her the second Mrs. Law. However, a couple months after that proposal, when most couples are still in newly engaged bliss, Law instead found his eye wandering - to his children's nanny. In fact, the thing that makes the entire situation even worse was that it wasn't the tabloids that broke the news because Law was spotted in a compromising position - his children were the ones that found out and spilled the details to their mother, Sadie Frost, Law's ex-wife. Miller dumped him, and Law officially cemented his reputation as a bit of a playboy with a wandering eye.
14 Mario Lopez
Mario Lopez seems like such a nice guy, but apparently, the married life just wasn't for him - at least, not a decade ago. It may be tough to remember, but back in 2004, Lopez got married to the gorgeous Ali Landry. Now, there are a lot of jokes made about quick marriages in Hollywood - it's a tough town to make a relationship work in - but this one takes the cake. Just two weeks after the two tied the knot and were supposedly blissful newlyweds, Landry decided to get the marriage annulled. Why on earth would she want to split from her new husband? Well, allegedly, Lopez forgot about his new wife and found himself attracted to someone else. I mean, having an affair when you haven't even celebrated one month together as husband and wife seems a little bit excessive.
13 Ethan Hawke
Back in the day, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman were one of Hollywood's big couples. They were a bit more unconventionally attractive than other golden couples like Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, but together they just worked. They had five years of marriage under their belts - not a small feat in Hollywood - and even had children together. They were an adorable family unit and it all seemed to be going so well - that is, until the news broke that Hawke was supposedly cheating with their children's nanny, Ryan Shawhughes. Seriously, cheating is bad enough, but why on earth do all these celebrity men keep turning to their nannies? We get that they're right there, but come on! Suffice to say, Uma called it quits on the relationship, and Hawke actually went on to marry Shawhughes and start their own little family together.
12 Tony Parker
The only industry that has more cheating scandals and temptation than the entertainment industry is the world of professional sports. The athletes are constantly surrounded by gorgeous women who would do anything to share their room for just one night, and they're constantly on the road, away from their wives and families. Now, there are plenty of pro athletes who are devoted family men who wouldn't even dream of cheating on their wives, but it's hard to ignore the many that do get caught up in cheating scandals - including Tony Parker. The French basketball player was married to the incredibly gorgeous actress Eva Longoria, but for some reason, that just wasn't enough. He ended up cheating with the wife of one of his teammates, and Longoria found some incriminating text messages and decided to split. Seriously - how do you cheat on Eva Longoria?
11 Chad Michael Murray
Okay, we're pretty sure Sophia Bush deserves some kind of a medal for what she endured with this relationship. As fans of teen television dramas know, this duo starred together on the hit show One Tree Hill for many seasons, and even played love interests Lucas Scott and Brooke Davis for some of that time. And, while sparks were flying in the script between their two characters, it seems that sparks were flying in real life too - they started up a relationship and eventually ended up tying the knot. Fans were super excited about the development, and all seemed to be well - until Chad Michael Murray got a role in the terrible movie House of Wax, and ended up allegedly hooking up with his co-star Paris Hilton. The two split, but unlike other relationships where each actor can just go to their various projects and only ever see each other again across the red carpet at a distance, these two still had to work together for years. Seriously, Sophia - props to you.
10 Gavin Rossdale
For years, Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani were one of the most badass couples in the business. They each had successful music careers, and had a bit of an edgy vibe that automatically made them a couple you just wanted to hang out with. They had children together, and even as parents, they were still supremely cool and sexy. They were basically the dream rockstar family. Their relationship seemed utterly solid, since they were together for over a decade - which is an eternity in the entertainment business - but in 2015, Gavin gave into temptation and ended up cheating with the couple's nanny (yep - another male celebrity who cheats with the nanny. Seriously, what is up with these guys?). They split, and as everyone who pays any attention to celebrity relationships knows, Gwen eventually found love with a musician from an entirely different genre, Blake Shelton.
9 David Boreanaz
It's awful when a celebrity cheats on their spouse with another celebrity or someone in their lives, but this one had to have truly stung for Jaime Bergman. Actor David Boreanaz tied the knot with gorgeous blonde model and actress Jaime Bergman way back in 2001, and they seemed to be a happy (and crazy photogenic) couple. However, in 2010, it seems that Boreanaz' wandering eye got the best of him, and he ended up cheating with a woman named Rachel Uchitel. Yes, that name should ring a bell - and not because she's a fellow actress. Uchitel was one of the many women on Tiger Woods' cheating list, so this particular affair had a definite cringe-worthy quality. And, Bergman was actually pregnant at the time when the affair broke, which makes things even worse. The two ended up working things out and are still together.
8 Ryan Phillippe
It may be easy to forget about Ryan and Reese, but back in the day, they were one of Hollywood's golden couples. They met on the set of Cruel Intentions, and fell head over heels in love. They tied the knot, and soon Reese was pregnant with her daughter Ava in her early 20s. Another child followed, and the Witherspoon-Phillippe clan were a wholesome, picture perfect Hollywood family. That is, until Abbie Cornish came along. Both Witherspoon and Phillippe had careers on the rise, and Phillippe was on the set of a movie where he met blonde actress Abbie Cornish. Sparks flew, and an affair started up. Reese and Ryan decided to split and go their own ways, and Reese's career catapulted from that point on - and now, she's in a happy marriage with three adoring kids, so things turned out pretty well for her.
7 The Dream
Seriously - we're not sure what's up with these celebrities who get a wandering eye literally months after they tie the knot. If your relationship is that fragile, and your eye is constantly wandering, perhaps it's best to avoid walking down the aisle and just stay as boyfriend/girlfriend for a while. Regardless, singer Christina Milian and rapper The Dream started up a romance, and eventually got hitched and had a baby together. However, less than a year after they got married - and only a couple months after Milian gave birth to their baby girl - The Dream was caught by the paparazzi on vacation with another woman. Honestly, did he think that he was invisible just because he was on a Caribbean island rather than in Los Angeles? Needless to safe, Milian found out, and the two split.
6 Hank Baskett
Hank Baskett and reality television star Kendra Wilkinson have had a highly public relationship. Everything from their first year of marriage to the birth of their children has been documented on Wilkinson's reality show, and so when Baskett got caught up in a cheating scandal, you'd better believe the tabloids were all over it. There were pictures of Kendra looking depressed and walking alone, ringless, there were pictures of Hank with all the lurid details of his affair splashed across the front page, etc. Baskett confessed that he made a huge mistake, and the couple actually ended up working it out. Seriously, though - he's been involved in both the professional sports world as well as the entertainment industry. He should know better than anyone that you really can't keep things like that a secret in industries where the paparazzi are paid the big bucks to get any kind of dirt they can on you.
5 Ben Affleck
Ben Affleck has had a few highly public romances, including with singer Jennifer Lopez. However, it was his marriage to Jennifer Garner that catapulted him onto the list of Hollywood couples we all want to be. They were both glossy and groomed, wholesome and totally perfect together. They made red carpet appearances together, took their children to the farmers' market, and basically just seemed to be living the dream life. That is, until the rumors surfaced that Ben was cheating with - surprise, surprise - the nanny. The world was shook when it was announced that the two were splitting after over a decade of marriage. Affleck has never really come out and confirmed the affair, but it was enough to cause Garner to move on and get out of that relationship. Hopefully she'll find another man soon who makes her happy!
4 Josh Duhamel
When actor Josh Duhamel and singer Fergie first got together, it seemed like a bit of an odd pairing. However, after a while, the world totally fell in love with the relationship because they were utterly perfect together. They tied the knot in 2009, had a child in 2013, and were seemingly in marital bliss. That is, until a 'lady of the night' named Nicole came forward and spilled the details about her one night stand with the happily married actor. Duhamel and Fergie rode out the waves of the scandal, and Fergie decided that an alleged one night stand wasn't enough to get her to leave her man. She stuck by him, and the two are still happily married to this day. A cheating scandal is hard to handle, regardless of the severity, but we bet it's a tiny bit easier if you know it's just a one time slip up rather than a prolonged affair with a lot of complex feelings involved.
3 Brad Pitt
Ah, the cheating scandal that rocked the world. Back in the 2000s, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were without question Hollywood's ultimate golden couple. He was tearing up the movie industry, she was television royalty, and they were both bronze, blonde, and beautiful. They were basically too good to be true. Then, Brad took a movie role that changed it all. He starred in the flick Mr. and Mrs. Smith alongside brunette bombshell Angelina Jolie, and soon enough, gossip started circulating about the two. Many tabloids even claimed that Pitt forgot all about his gorgeous wifey at home and was checking into hotels with his co-star - and certainly not to rehearse lines. Aniston and Pitt split soon after the rumours started, and soon enough, he was with Jolie, which basically confirmed all the gossip about how (and when) things got started.
2 Jude Law, Part Two
Jude Law and Sadie Frost's marriage took place when Law was still a rising star, and it seems that fame got the better of him. While he didn't have as highly publicized an affair as he did on fiancee Sienna Miller, there have been enough rumours circulating to suggest that Law may have had a bit of a wandering eye throughout their marriage. Plus, the fact that Law and Frost divorced in 2003, and he and Sienna Miller started up their relationship in 2003 suggests that the British babe may have been the straw that broke the camel's back with Law. Given his track record, we'd be surprised at any woman who decided to put their trust in the Lothario - he evidently has quite the difficulty remaining committed to just one woman.
1 David Beckham
I know, I know - say it isn't so! David and Victoria Beckham are one of the couples in the entertainment industry that give us hope that true love really is a thing. They've been together for about a billion years (okay, just under 20 years, to be exact), and are utterly perfect together. However, even they aren't immune to a little marital strife. Back in 2004, gossip started circulating about David Beckham allegedly cheating with his personal assistant Rebecca Loos. While Becks denied the claim, several tabloids gave Loos the space to share her side of the story. This affair isn't as clear-cut as some of the other celebrity cheating scandals, but we're betting it definitely rocked the boat between the Beckhams. However, obviously, the two made it work - they're David and Victoria Beckham. Now, over a decade later, that alleged affair is probably not even a blip on their radar.
