Levine has been married to Behati Prinsloo since 2014, but in 2022 a cheating allegation emerged. A TikTok personality named Sumner Stroh claimed that she and the Maroon 5 frontman had been hooking up for about a year. She also said that he asked her if he could name his child – ergo, Prinsloo’s child – after her. That’s pretty hard to stomach if true. Levine has denied that he had any physical relations with Stroh, but it was still pretty shocking news. It wasn’t long before more women alleged that he had sent them inappropriate communications. The singer often features his wife and family in his videos, so the scandal was definitely a mask-off moment.

Cheating on anyone is wrong. Cheating on Demi Moore with a 21-year-old you met in a bowling alley is just downright impossible to understand. In the beginning days of their relationship, it seemed Moore and Kutcher couldn’t be more in love. But, according to Moore’s memoir, that eventually changed. She said Kutcher became distant as the years went by, and started lying to her about his whereabouts. This behavior eventually led to the aforementioned bowling alley tryst, leaving Moore – and us – heartbroken. The couple’s divorce was made official in 2013.

#8: Jesse James & Sandra Bullock

Jesse James and Sandra Bullock were an unexpected match. She was a wholesome, romantic comedy queen, he was a tatted-up TV mechanic. When the pair tied the knot in 2005, it’s fair to say many were surprised. But they looked happy, and isn’t that all that matters? Alas, they weren’t as happy as they appeared. In 2010, James was accused of cheating on the “While You Were Sleeping” star with multiple women, and apologized publicly. The strain of the scandal may have caused Bullock to cancel some stops on her press tour for “The Blind Side,” and she subsequently filed for divorce.

For so many years, Shakira and Gerard Piqué seemed like the perfect couple. In fact, they’ve even been included on Forbes’ list of “The World’s Most Powerful Couples” in the past. The pair met on the set of one of her music videos, and quickly fell in love. But in 2022, the singer and soccer player released a joint statement that they would be going their separate ways. Rumors quickly started to fly, and speculation that Piqué’s infidelity was the reason for the split ran rampant. It’s been alleged that his partying led to an affair, and that Shakira had enough.

No one deserves to go through the mess that Tristan Thompson has wrought on Khloé Kardashian. Unfortunately, Kardashian hasn’t had great luck with cheaters – her ex-husband Lamar Odom was also unfaithful. But Thompson’s indiscretions are on another level. His initial cheating scandal came to light as Kardashian was preparing to give birth to their first child. Though that was the first incident, it sadly wasn’t the last. There was the Jordyn Woods saga, which generated a lot of press and drama within the family. He also fathered a child with a woman named Maralee Nichols while in a relationship with Kardashian.

For a while, it seemed like Shania Twain and Robert Lange had mastered the art of having both a personal and professional relationship, which is no small feat. Lange has written with and produced songs for Twain, and the two got married in 1993. But more than a decade later, the unthinkable happened. They announced that they would be separating in 2008. Fans were surprised that such a long-lasting relationship could end so suddenly, but then, it all became clear. It turns out that Lange was cheating on Twain with her close friend Marie-Anne Thiébaud.

#4: Jay-Z & Beyoncé

It appears this story has roots in 2014, when a video that captured Solange Knowles, Beyoncé’s sister, kicking Jay-Z in an elevator the night of the Met Gala became public. Rumors flew online about what the two could possibly be fighting about. In 2016, Queen Bey released “Lemonade”, and the visual album contained clear allusions to Jay-Z’s infidelity. It’s still unclear what exactly was going on in that elevator, but the vocalist’s songs made it pretty obvious that her husband had strayed from their marriage. The couple has stayed together, but the phrase “Becky with the good hair” will live on for a while.

Sometimes, cheating results in a secret love child. Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger married in 1986. But in 2011, 25 years of apparent bliss ended in a second. In a shocking turn of events, it was revealed that he was the father of a baby he had with another woman about 14 years before the relationship ended. To make matters worse, the woman in question, Mildred Baena, worked for the couple. Schwarzenegger claimed that he had told Shriver about the child … but only after she had already figured it out for herself and questioned him.

It seems these two are still on good terms. Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley began dating in 1987, quickly becoming one of the hottest Hollywood couples on the block. Grant is known for his sweet, bumbling on-screen persona. So everyone was shocked in 1995 when he was caught in a compromising situation while he and Hurley were still linked. She stuck by him during the whole thing, and the couple didn’t break up until 2000 – five years after the incident. Though things didn’t work out romantically, she did later ask him to be the godfather of her child. There’s obviously still some love there.

Perhaps one of the most jaw-dropping scandals in recent history, we definitely never saw this one coming. Tiger Woods married Swedish model Elin Nordegren in 2004, and, by all appearances, they had a beautiful and happy marriage together. But, in 2009, a little news item about a possible affair on Woods’ part changed everything. A few days later, he got in a major car accident that unleashed oodles of media speculation upon the couple. Over the next couple of weeks, many women came out of the woodwork claiming to have been involved with him. It turns out Woods was having multiple affairs, leading to his and Nordegren’s divorce in 2010.
