Relationships have a tendency to be short-lived in Hollywood, with many being plagued by rumors of infidelity and betrayal. While the reasons for many celebrity break-ups remain unconfirmed, there have been several high-profile cheating scandals in Hollywood that have shocked fans, including the following. What’s even more surprising is that not all of these affairs led to broken relationships.
14 Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston announced the end of their marriage in 2005. Shortly after, Brad was seen getting cozy with his Mr. and Mrs. Smith co-star Angelina Jolie, leading many to believe the relationship began while he and Jennifer were still married.
During their time together, Brad and Angelina adopted three kids and welcomed three biological children. They married in 2014, but Angelina filed for divorce two years later amid allegations Brad had gotten physical with her and their kids on a private plane.
13 Jesse James & Sandra Bullock
Days after winning an Oscar in 2010, Sandra Bullock’s husband Jesse James was exposed for cheating on her with multiple women. The actress filed for divorce shortly afterwards.
12 Adam Levine & Behati Prinsloo
Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo have been married since 2014 and share two daughters (with another baby on the way). But the Maroon 5 singer was exposed for cheating by TikToker Sumner Strohl in 2022, who shared screenshots of his flirty messages. Adam admitted to being inappropriate, but denies a full-blown affair. Despite the infidelity, sources say Behati is sticking by her long-time partner’s side.
11 Tiger Woods & Elin Nordegren
After multiple women came forward admitting to having affairs with the professional golfer, Tiger Woods admitted to having a sex addiction. He and his wife, Swedish model Elin Nordegren, quietly divorced in 2010.
10 Khloe Kardashian & Tristan Thompson
Tristan Thompson has been exposed for cheating on Khloe multiple times, including days before she gave birth to their daughter in 2018. They reconciled, only to split again after he was exposed for cheating with Jordyn Woods.
The couple got back together again in 2021, but split that December when it was revealed Tristan fathered a baby with another woman. Months later, it was announced Khloe and Tristan were expecting baby no. 2 via a surrogate, who got pregnant before Khloe was aware of his latest cheating scandal.
9 Arnold Schwarzenegger & Maria Shriver
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver were married from 1986 to 2021 and share four kids. But Maria filed for divorce after learning Arnold had fathered a son with their housekeeper, Mildred Baena, who continued to work for them for years after giving birth.

Disgraced 19 Kids and Counting star Josh Duggar was exposed for cheating on his wife during the Ashley Madison hack. He was later exposed for molesting several of his sisters and a childhood friend and his youth, before being charged for possessing child pornography. Though he’s currently behind bars, his wife Anna remains loyal and is reportedly thinking of moving to Texas with their six kids to be closer to his prison.
6 Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott were both married to other people when they met on set. The pair had an affair before leaving their spouses and tying the knot in 2006. Though Dean has since admitted to cheating on Tori, the couple remain married and share five children.
