Cheating scandals among celebrities are nothing new and infidelity is quite common in Hollywood. Ok, it’s common with “ordinary” people as well, but when a famous person gets involved in something like this the whole world finds out and it immediately becomes the hot news. And then we can see that even the most attractive, talented and successful people experience the pain of infidelity. Here are some celebs who were cheated on.
Sandra Bullock
Sandra Bullock was married to Jesse James for five years before it was revealed that he reportedly had an affair with tattoo model Michelle “Bombshell” McGee. “We’re all where we’re supposed to be,” Bullock told Vogue about the split. “I am exactly where I want to be now. You can’t go backward. I’m not going backward. I’m grateful that I’m here, blessed to have what I have. Nobody can be prepared for anything.”
Emma Thompson
Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh wed in 1989 but their marriage ended in 1995 with claims that their work schedules had gotten in the way. At the time, however, the tabloids had reported that their split was due to Branagh’s affair with co-star Helena Bonham Carter. Several years later Emma has forgiven the woman who broke up her marriage, saying it’s “blood under the bridge. […] You can’t hold on to anything like that. I just think … pfff. It’s pointless. I haven’t got the energy for it. Helena and I made our peace years and years ago.” She stated that Bonham and her are a bit alike, both “being slightly mad and a bit fashion-challenged,” adding, “perhaps that’s why Ken loved us both. She’s a wonderful woman, Helena.”
Sienna Miller
She was in a high profile relationship with Jude Law when news broke that the Brit was cheating with the nanny. Law admitted to it, and Sienna chose to forgive, but eventually their relationship crumbled.”What makes me sad [is] that there was a loss of innocence on my part,” she said. “I was blinded by being a romantic person. I sort of feel like, ‘What if I never love that vulnerably and that openly again?’ But I feel like I’m really strong. I feel like I grew up.” In a statement, Jude said: “I am deeply ashamed and upset that I’ve hurt Sienna and the people most close to us. I want to publicly apologize to Sienna and our respective families for the pain that I have caused.”
Jennifer Aniston
When Jennifer Aniston was married to Brad Pitt, Brad took a role in the film Mr. and Mrs. Smith, a decision that changed both of their lives. It was on that set where Brad met, and fell in love, with Angelina Jolie. Although the couple does not say their marriage broke up because of Jolie, some things are quite obvious. Especially after Angelina did an interview saying that that was when she fell for Brad. After Aniston read the Angie interview she said, “There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening,” adding, “I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss. That stuff about how she couldn’t wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool.”
Robert Pattinson
To the total bewilderment of teen girls everywhere, Kristen Stewart was caught cheating on Rob. Stewart made headlines when photographs surfaced of her kissing married director Rupert Sanders. The actress issued a public apology for the affair. “This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry,” she said.
Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria filed for divorce from husband Tony Parker in November 2010, after finding out that he reportedly cheated on her with the wife of his former teammate. “I just think, ‘Wow, okay, that’s the life you want to live. It wasn’t about who he chose. I had moments of like: ‘Okay, I’m not sexy enough? I’m not pretty enough? Am I not smart enough?’ Then I immediately stopped,” she said. “‘No, no, no — don’t start doing that.’ Because you can get stuck in that cycle and you can carry that onto other things.”
Uma Thurman
Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke were quite the power couple, but then Hawke had an affair with their nanny. “You can move on, and you can be lucky and you can seize the moment and you can take one step after another,” Thurman said. “You bear two children with somebody — that’s not a small thing — and then you can hardly talk to them.”
