Love Hurts: 6 Hollywood Beauties Who Put Up with Unfaithful Husbands (7 photos)

Looking at red carpet photos, it’s easy to assume that famous celebrities live completely problem-free lives. But that couldn't be further from the truth! In reality, world-renowned stars often endure heartbreak that rivals—or even exceeds—that of ordinary people…

We previously wrote about celebrities struggling with mental health issues. Today, let’s take a look at Hollywood wives who had to endure their husbands' repeated infidelities.





Gwen Stefani



When Gwen Stefani married Gavin Rossdale in 2002, she had no idea how much heartache the marriage would bring. The newlyweds' first major scandal erupted when reports surfaced about the musician’s affair with a cross-dresser. Over the years, rumors of Rossdale’s love affairs frequently made headlines, but Gwen managed to turn a blind eye.

The facade of marital bliss finally crumbled when it was revealed that the rocker had an adult daughter from a previous affair. Gwen stayed in the unhealthy relationship for a while longer, but in 2016 she finally decided enough was enough and filed for divorce.

Sharon Osbourne





For years, Sharon Osbourne lived in the shadow of her famous husband. She helped him fight his drug and alcohol addictions, put up with his grueling tour schedules, and endured endless female fans. As it turned out, many of them were far more than just admirers of his music…

“He had more than one mistress. He had six! Some teenage girl, a masseuse in England, a masseuse in LA, a cook... He had mistresses in different countries,” Sharon once confessed in an interview.

In 2016, Sharon’s patience finally ran out, and she filed for divorce. However, the split was called off at the last minute when she decided to give Ozzy one more chance.

Beyoncé



Jay-Z and Beyoncé were long considered a power couple—until the singer poured her heart out to fans and revealed her husband's betrayal. Most of the tracks on her hit album

Lemonade

are dedicated to his infidelity and the pain she went through.

In later interviews, Beyoncé revealed that she found the strength to forgive her husband, and that they were rebuilding their marriage from scratch.

Cindy Costner



Actor Kevin Costner put his first wife, Cindy, through emotional hell. For fifteen years, she dutifully endured his affairs and constant absence from family life. Costner took full advantage of his hectic schedule, using movie shoots and travel to carry on affairs with younger women. It all came to an end in 1994, when Cindy filed for divorce and walked away with an $80 million settlement from her unfaithful husband.

Jennifer Garner



Even after learning that her husband was cheating on her with their nanny, Jennifer Garner held off on filing for divorce for the sake of their children. They attended couples therapy together and tried to save the marriage, but to no avail.

Affleck’s struggle with alcoholism and reluctance to change his lifestyle only made matters worse. In the end, Garner had no choice but to end the marriage. Today, the exes maintain a friendly relationship as they co-parent their children.

Princess Diana



When Diana married Prince Charles, she was already aware of his feelings for Camilla Parker Bowles. Over the years, those feelings only grew stronger, taking a heavy toll on Charles and Diana’s marriage. While the Prince continued to seek out his former flame, Lady Di tried to find solace in public work. But before long, it became clear the marriage was beyond saving, and in 1996, the royal family agreed to their divorce.
