Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley
Who cheated: Hugh Grant
Who did they cheat with: A sex worker ‘Divine Brown’
How did he get caught: The police arrested him in the act!
I’m sure most of you remember this one. Elizabeth was just starting out as an actress when she met Hugh in 1987. They were both working on a Spanish production called Remando Al Viento and started dating soon after.
Back in 1995, The Guardian ran a story that outraged the public. Hugh Grant was caught in L.A in a car with a sex worker. According to the Guardian, Grant paid $60 for oral sex. Afterwards, Hugh and Elizabeth decided to move past the event and stayed together. They later went their separate ways in 2000. Grant is now set to wed TV producer Anna Eberstein.
Regardless of what happened, it’s believed that the two don’t have any bad blood. Us Weekly reported Grant and Hurley managed to stay friends after all these years. Allegedly he is the godfather of her son and she is the godmother to one of his daughters. Good on you, Liz, for getting past that one! We commend you!
Sienna Miller and Jude Law
Who cheated: Jude Law
Who did they cheat with: Nanny; Daisy Wright

Another huge shocker that devastated the world. Sienna and Jude hooked up whilst filming 2004 movie ‘Alfie’ and subsequently got engaged. And they looked SO freakin’ good together and we loved them. Sigh…
So naturally, it came as a crusher (to us as well as them) when in February 2006, it was announced that Jude had cheated with the nanny of his children, Daisy Wright.
Law released a public apology which was delivered via a statement. It stated he was remorseful and “deeply ashamed and upset”. Us too, Jude!
The two briefly rekindled their romance after splitting, but eventually called it quits for the last time in February 2011. “That was a very pivotal time in my life, and I’m happy saying that,” Miller told Vogue in July 2009. “It’s a private moment when you get your heart broken for the first time.”
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston
Who cheated: Brad Pitt
Who did they cheat with: Angelina Jolie
How did they get caught: It’s complicated…
Who could forget when Brad broke Jen’s heart? The world went WILD. So Brad and Jen started dating in 1998 and they were Hollywood’s hottest and most loved couple.
They made their love known in 2000 when they got hitched in a lavishly gorgeous Malibu wedding.
In 2004, Brad got close to Angelina during filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Soon after, reports surfaced that Pitt cheated on Aniston with Jolie. Sources confirmed the rumor, and subsequently, Pitt and Aniston divorced in 2005.
Jolie and Pitt went on to date for years becoming Hollywood’s most popular couple Brangelina. They married in 2014 but later separated in 2016 where another scandal began. The pair are currently in custody fights over their children and the divorce is still in process.
Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren
Who cheated: Tiger Woods
Who did they cheat with: Multiple women
How did they get caught: Various texts and voicemails
The golf pro married Swedish model Elin Nordegren in 2004 but came under fire in Hollywood in 2009 as various stories emerged about Tiger cheating on her. A voicemail was leaked from Jaimee Grubb’s phone where Tiger can be heard asking Jaimee to take her name off her voicemail, ending the message with “You got to do this for me. Huge. Quickly. All right, bye”.
Soon after it went public, The New York Post reported that Elin expressed her rage when she chased after Tiger with a golf club. He tried to get away in his 2009 Escalade only to crash into hedges. It was later revealed that Woods cheated on Nordegren with multiple women.
Tiger made a public apology in which he attributed the buzz and adrenaline of fame as a factor in his infidelities and voiced attempts to repair their marriage. But it didn’t seem like anything was being repaired…
Elin walked away with $100 million in their 2010 divorce settlement, and the satisfaction that she got in a few good swings with a tire iron!
Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese
Who cheated: Marilyn Manson
How did he get caught: His wife figured it out
In 2005, singer Marilyn Manson got hitched to vedette, model and entrepreneur Dita Von Teese. The couple lasted until the following year and separated, later getting divorced in 2007.
But before they had divorced, Marilyn met somebody else. Westworld actress, Evan Rachel Wood, met the gothic rocker when she was 18 years old. The two started seeing each other whilst he was still married to Dita.
Once Dita figured it all out, Manson later got a divorce and continued his relationship with Wood. Manson and Wood got engaged but broke it off before walking down the aisle.
Evan has since opened up about the situation; “Most teenagers are searching for identity, and I was thrown into a situation where I was supposed to have that already figured out,” explained Wood to Rolling Stone. “Then you’re demonized for figuring it out and getting messy. People would call me a wh*re when I walked down the street, and you can’t not be hurt by that.”
Sandra Bullock and Jesse James
Who cheated: Jesse James
How did he get caught: Magazine sources
Jesse James and Sandra Bullock got married in 2005. They were still married when multiple women came forward in 2010 saying they had had affairs with James.
Reportedly, Jesse had affairs with at least four women, including stripper Michelle ‘Bombshell’ McGee. Sandra filed for a divorce later that year. It is rumoured that one of the women Jesse cheated with was tattoo artist Kat Von D. It seems likely as the pair got together soon after.
Despite his actions, James has something to say about the backlash he received. The Daily Mail reported he said “Yeah, I did cheat on my wife. Yeah, I stood up and took accountability for it and apologized. And that’s the end of the story…The easy potshot is like, ‘Oh, well you cheated on Sandra Bullock.’ That’s the world’s easiest comeback.”
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson
Who cheated: Kristen Stewart
How did she get caught: She was photographed
A crazy scandal that was revealed at the height of the Twilight saga’s fame. In June 2009, it was announced the two were dating and the world went crazy.
So obviously Twilight obsessives went into a state of shock when photos emerged on Kristen cheating on Rob with film director Rupert Sanders.
She was working on movie ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ with Rupert and was photographed cuddling up to him by Us Weekly. Kristen gave a public apology and the two tried to make things work. Eventually, she and Pattinson broke up.
“I lit my universe on fire and I watched it burn,” she told Marie Claire. “Speaking very candidly, it was a really traumatic period in my early 20s that kick-started something in me that was a bit more feral.” Yikes! Since then Kristen has
Woody Allen and Mia Farrow
Who cheated: Woody Allen
How did he get caught: He admitted it and left Mia for her
This one was a true shocker. In 1992, it was discovered that Woody Allen cheated on his long-term girlfriend, actress Mia Farrow after being together for over ten years. The strange part? It was Farrow’s adopted daughter Soon-Yi, who was 35 years his junior, that he cheated with.
Pictured above is Woody, Mia and Soon-Yi, four years before the affair began. Mia states in her autobiography that she found nude photographs of 21-year-old Soon-Yi in Allen’s apartment. Allen had been in Soon-Yi’s life since she was around ten years old.
The aftermath unfolded into a bitter custody battle between Farrow and Allen over their adopted children. Soon-Yi and Allen eventually married in 1997 after living together and adopting their own kids and are still married now.
In her autobiography, Mia wrote that Woody admitted his infidelity to her. But according to The Hollywood Reporter, the director feels untouched by the scandal and is content with his marriage to Soon-Yi. More investigations are being pursued as Allen’s daughter Dylan continues with a case accusing Allen of sexual assault when she was seven-years-old. Allen’s son Moses has spoken out to defend his father whilst Dylan hits back and defends her claims.
Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid
Who cheated: Allegedly, both.
How did they get caught: Filed for divorce
Actress Meg Ryan got hitched to actor Dennis Quaid in 1991. The pair nearly made it ten years before divorcing in 2001. Meg got caught up with Russell Crowe on the set of their movie Proof of Life in 2000 and the two has been quite open about admitting the truth.
Meg stated appreciation for Russell Crowe’s silence in the aftermath of the big reveal; ‘He didn’t talk and I’ll always be grateful to him for that. But I did not leave my marriage for him. I left because it was not working.’
According to the Daily Mail, Meg stated; ‘Dennis was not faithful to me for a very long time, and that was very painful. I found out more about that after I was divorced.’
Dennis has hit back at these claims in a frustrated response; ‘It was eight years ago, and I find it unbelievable that Meg continues publicly to rehash and rewrite the story of our relationship. ‘Also, I find it regrettable that our son, Jack, has to be reminded in a public way of the turmoil and pain that every child feels in a divorce. ‘I, myself, moved on years ago and am fortunate to have a happy, beautiful family.’ We hope they can forget their differences!
Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne
Who cheated: Ozzy Osbourne
How he got caught: She found his emails
The Black Sabbath frontman married Sharon Osbourne in 1982 and they remain together; a rare feat in Hollywood. But the relationship hasn’t been without its drama.
It shocked everyone when Sharon learned about Ozzy’s affair with a hair stylist. Once again, technology revealed an affair. “Sharon found out about the affair by searching through Ozzy’s emails,” a source told the Mirror. “She was upset that he was supporting this woman!”
Outraged and angry, their daughter, Kelly, outed the hair stylist by tweeting her number with: “Anyone looking for cheap chunky LOW-lights, a blowout and a blowjob call ***********.”
When Sharon returned to The Talk she opened up about her decision to leave him. “I’m 63 years of age and I can’t keep living like this. He’s given me an unbelievable life and he’s given me three gorgeous children and I love him.” The two have worked it out since and Ozzy has spoken of his regret; “When I said, ‘Don’t get caught by your missus,’ I’m not proud of all that s**t. I upset my wife and I upset my family and I made a lot of shock and shame. I love my wife, and it made me realise what a f**king idiot I’ve been.”
