Just remembered another one.

Shania Twain’s husband cheating on her with her best friend (who was also her assistant) Marie-Anne.

The biggest horrendous part about it is Shania confided to her best friend about her suspicious that her husband was having an affair. Only for her best friend to gaslight her to believing he wasn’t. Her “bestie” the whole time was *the other woman* he was sheet riding with.

Shania has a cursed life. Seriously.

The woman is also an absolute stunner, especially in her young years (and when the affair happened) like I don’t understand how you cheat on Shania Twain, especially when you look like a a head of cauliflower. He was punching with Shania.

There are numerous reasons why people—from regular individuals to world-renowned celebrities—cheat on their significant others. Some might be dissatisfied with the physical and emotional aspects of their current relationships, or they feel underappreciated at home. Others might want to get revenge on their partners. Still others might be dealing with massive self-esteem issues and have affairs to feel desired.

And in some cases, simply having the opportunity to cheat is enough. It probably doesn’t help when you’re powerful, influential, rich, and talented, and people are throwing themselves at you all the time. There are lots of temptations. And some stars give in.

Meanwhile, in many cases, people cheat on their partners with their colleagues, as they spend a large amount of time around them. As reported in a recent Forbes survey, more than 60% of adults have had workplace romances. And 40% of those romances involved cheating on existing partners.

I am going to go old school and mention Ted Danson's affair with Whoopie Goldberg while Danson was still married to his first wife of 16 years, who was paralyzed by a stroke giving birth to their first child. Danson's wife filed for divorce and Danson and Whoopie dated for a over a year before they broke up, allegedly because his parents disapproved.

I was young but I remember when Meg Ryan had an affair with Russell Crowe, it was a huge deal. The media ripped her to shreds and honestly I feel like it effectively ended her career.

I say it’s a bunch of BS considering how Dennis Quaid was regularly cheating on her for years. I don’t condone cheating, but that marriage could not have been easy for Meg.

As per Forbes, 65% of people who had workplace romances said that the reason behind them was feeling comfortable with their colleagues. Another major factor (61%) was the lack of time outside of work to meet other people to date.

Though 43% of those who had started dating their colleagues ended up marrying them, 57% of people noted that their workplace romances had impacted their performance at work. Meanwhile, around half of the respondents said that workplace relationships promote favoritism.

Jack Nicholson got another woman pregnant while he was with Anjelica Huston and she beat him up (he always cheated on her but the baby stuff + seeing an article on a magazine of a woman who slept with him was her breaking point).

Didn't David Letterman admit to having an affair with an intern? Someone was going to blackmail him, so I think he did a whole admitting to it thing right on his show, like instead of a monologue.

Off the top of my head the more well-known folks I can think of would be Michelle Williams & Amanda Seyfried. Natalie Portman’s husband Benjamin was living with his long-term girlfriend when they got together. Natalie got pregnant & married Benjamin not very long after meeting on the set of Black Swan. And he reportedly cheated on Natalie recently.

Matthew Macfadyen (from Succession & Pride and Prejudice) asked out his now-wife when she’d been married for 8 weeks to someone whom she had a toddler with. She immediately left her then-husband, and her & MM were married with a baby together not even two years later.

I know infidelity in the sporting world comes as no surprise but I felt her pain on hearing Gabrielle union story of how Dwayne Wade cheated and got his side girlfriend pregnant when Union had been years by his side helping him raise his other kids and they’d actively been trying to conceive through tribulations of fertility issues. Brutal.
