We like to think otherwise, but love can be a fickle thing — and for some of the most famous people in history and showbiz, it meant walking down the aisle more than once. From Hollywood stars to politicians and everything in between, some VIPs found themselves saying “I do” multiple times.
Second marriages are not uncommon, but when you’re a big name, your relationships are constantly under a microscope. The public, whether made up of hopeless romantics or gossip addicts, is fascinated by the love lives of the rich and famous. So when divorced celebrities get remarried, it’s always a big deal. But why do so many stars have multiple marriages? You may wonder if fame and fortune can put a strain on celebrities’ relationships, making it harder for them to work it out with their partner — but if you ask us, none of them could have afforded all those fancy weddings if they weren’t rich.
Whether driven by love, financial gain, or just sheer fun, some famous figures have taken the plunge multiple times. The journeys of these lovebirds have been documented by tabloids and gossip rags alike, but how many of them do you really know? In this list, we reveal which famous people have celebrated multiple marriages. Spoiler alert: Some of them have 9 weddings under their belt! Can you guess who?
