Celebrities Who Cheated
There’s a reason why celebrities make for excellent tabloid fodder. The savviest stars know how to navigate life in the public eye, with most of them experts in keeping their private lives and indiscretions under the radar.
Celebrities Who Cheated
However, now and again, the stars unravel like the best of us. When it comes to cheating scandals, nobody does it better than the Hollywood elite. Think you’ve been through a messy breakup? Think again. Below are some of our favorite celebrity cheating scandals of all time.
It’s Hard to Keep Up With the Kardashians
It’s hard to decide exactly what the Kardashian family is famous for. However, one thing just about every member of this family is great at is cheating on their partners.
Let’s start with the family matriarch. Kris Jenner set the trend by cheating on her late husband Robert Kardashian during the early stages of their marriage. Although it wasn’t common knowledge at the time, she pursued an extramarital affair with close friend Todd Waterman. The news only broke after Jenner spilled the beans herself, working the episode into a chapter of a 2011 memoir.
Now let’s move on to the eldest of the Kardashian children, Kourtney. Now, in all fairness to Kourtney, she’s not been caught cheating herself. However, her former husband Scott Disick deserves a place in the cheating hall of fame. First, tabloids printed photos of Disick frolicking with an ex while he was married to Kourtney. Next, Kim Kardashian discovered a random girl hiding out in Disick’s hotel room while the family was vacationing in Dubai.
It seems like international travel gives Disick the horn. When the family arranged a trip to Costa Rica, he snuck another woman into his hotel room while attempting to reconnect with his estranged wife.
Youngest sister Khloe isn’t immune from cheating scandals. Again, she’s not actually been caught playing around herself, but she’s been cheated on more than once. While she was pregnant and ready to drop with her second child, photos emerged of her boyfriend Tristan Thompson cheating on her with another woman.
This one-off might have been easy enough to forgive for Khloe, but entertainment channels quickly broke the news of more cheating, with video footage to prove it. Nonetheless, the pair dug their heels in and committed to moving forward. In 2019, news broke that Thomspon had cheated again.
Hugh Grant and the Hooker
Remember when Hugh Grant was one of the biggest stars on the planet? Back in the 1990s, this foppish Brit was a favorite on both sides of the pond. As well as earning six-figure paychecks, he was also attracting some of the most stunning women on the planet.
In 1995, his current squeeze was Elizabeth Hurley. Her acting abilities might leave a lot to be desired, but Hurley’s beauty knows no equal. Strange then that Grant would choose to crawl Sunset Boulevard for a low-cost hooker. He finally settled on Estella Marie Thomspon, better known as Divine Brown, whose tariff included oral sex for the reasonable sum of $60.
Nobody knows if Grant got his money’s worth, but Grant and Brown were caught in the act by patrol cops, leading to that iconic mugshot that graced many tabloid covers back in June 1995. Both were fined more than $1,000 after their arrest, while Brown ended up spending 180 days in jail. Grant got off with a probationary sentence but had to attend an AIDS education class.
At this point, Elizabeth Hurley was one of the most famous women in the world. She’d have been forgiven for distancing herself from Grant, but Hurley ended up standing by her man. They’d continue as a couple for several years, before parting ways in 2000. The two remain good friends, with Hurley even making a light-hearted reference to the event in an episode of her show The Royals.
Tiger Woods is Taken to the Cleaners
Tiger Woods was once considered the golden boy of golf. He quickly established himself as a living legend, becoming one of the highest-earning athletes of all time and one of the few sportsmen ever to amass career earnings of more than $1 billion. He also came across as something of a good boy, with a clean-cut image that appealed to just about everyone.
However, all was not as it seemed. Despite his squeaky-clean exterior, Tiger Woods was a cheater. Back in 2009, the National Enquirer ran a story that claimed Woods had pursued an affair with a nightclub manager from New York. Both Woods and the woman in question denied any claims of wrongdoing.
That would have been the end of it, but a few days later Woods was involved in an SUV crash outside of his home. There were a lot of questions asked about what had actually led up to the crash, but Woods and his wife remained silent. By the start of December of that year, the Tiger Woods cheating scandal took another turn. Despite denying the cheating claims, another entertainment magazine uncovered irrefutable evidence to support the story. Now that voicemails sent by Woods himself to the woman he was cheating with were out in the world, he couldn’t continue to deny things.
Woods would eventually admit to being unfaithful to his wife Elin Nordegren. Turns out he’d cheated more than once, with multiple women. The scandal took its toll on his professional life. Several major sponsors dropped their deals with him, with several of his biggest backers losing billions of dollars in lost revenues as a direct result of the fiasco.
Woods and Nordegren would declare their intentions to divorce in 2010. Although Nordegren had been humiliated publicly, she didn’t do too badly out of the deal. She walked away with a reported $110 million divorce settlement, not to mention an extra $20,000 per month in child support.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver, and the Maid
As celebrity cheating scandals go, this is an absolute classic. At one point in time, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver were a Hollywood power couple. He was an action hero of epic proportions, while she was a respected author and journalist. She’s also descended from the Kennedy family, so the concept of infidelity wasn’t exactly alien to her.
After four kids and a 25-year marriage, the pair announced they were separating in 2011. After some initial press interest, the paparazzi backed off and left the two to their privacy. However, there was a lot more to this tale than two people who had simply drifted apart.
It turns out that the real reason behind the dissolution of this celebrity marriage was infidelity on Arnie’s part. Back in 1997, the actor had enjoyed a short-lived affair with Mildred Baena, his and Shriver’s live-in housekeeper at the time. Baena had fallen pregnant around the same time Shriver had with her and Schwarzenegger’s fourth child. In fact, she gave birth to her son only a few days after Shriver popped out her youngest child.
At the time, it was assumed that Baena’s then-husband was the father of her child. Nobody suspected any difference for several years until Baena’s son Joseph started developing a striking resemblance to the Terminator and True Lies star. It turns out that Joseph’s father was indeed Arnie’s son after all, with the boy and his mother Schwarzeneggers for many years before the truth came out. Arnie managed to keep a lid on the scandal until his tenure as the Governor of California came to an end. Once the cat was out of the bag, Shriver was free to cut her ties with her adulterous husband and strike out on her own.
Eventually, Arnie did the right thing and took an active role in Joseph’s life. In fact, the youngster took after his father and pursued a career in bodybuilding. The pair remain close, while Schwarzenegger and Shriver recently finalized their divorce in 2021.
