On Wednesday, Hart Hanson, the creator of Bones, Tweeted a new message on behalf of his beleaguered star:
"David Boreanaz has asked me to express to fans his sincere pain, thanks for support, and determination that his family will 'get thru this.'"
Boreanaz, 40, and Bergman, 34, have been married since 2001 and have two children; son Jaden, 8, and daughter Bardot, 9 months.
One person rooting for Boreanaz' marriage: his mother-in-law. Sue Scallion, Bergman's mom, told E! News recently, "My daughter's very strong...Jaime told me one day, 'Divorce just isn't an option.' She can get the big picture."

Noting that the couple is in counseling and preparing to relocate, Scallion added, "They are going to make this work and keep the family together and raise the children"
Boreanaz' mistress has yet to be revealed, but is represented by famed celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred, whose clients have included Tiger Woods' mistress Rachel Uchitel. A press conference is expected in the next few weeks, Allred told E!.
Tell Us What You Think
53You see it on TV shows all the time. Women who say "You stole my boyfriend/husband" Well...you can't be stolen if you don't want to be. All DB had to say was "No".
susie, it's not surprising that Jaime blames herself. A lot of women end up doing that, thinking that if they had paid more attention to their husbands, been more adventurous in the bedroom, given him sex more, etc. that he wouldn't have strayed. They think that if they had done things differently, he wouldn't have went outside the marriage.
How do you overcome this?? For me it would be over the minute he got involve. I'm a romantic and believe and love and trust. If I was Jamie I would feel that he lost the love he felt or maybe never felt. How can u betray the person u love? Why wasn't his love for Jaime strong enough for him to walk out on Temptation? How many times did he forgot about his love for Jaime? Jaime blames herself? she said she was not paying attention to him?
What I think is funny about this whole thing is how some fans (who have finally seen that he did cheat on his wife) are taking this whole report of how this happened over a year ago, as proof that David wasn't cheating on Jaime while she was pregnant. Let me refute that for a second. Considering Bardot was born on August 31, 2009, Jaime would have gotten pregnant in November of 2008 which IS over a year ago. LOL So clearly, David WAS cheating on her while she was pregnant. And while going to counseling together as well as having separate sessions is a good first step, I for one don't think that necessarily means he's "seen the light enough to repent," and makes him one of the "better ones who's cheated on his wife," as I saw one fan say online. Huge fan of David's here, but I'm not going to make excuses for him or trying to lessen the blow of what he did to make myself feel better.
not you angel! what is happening to all these men that turns them into unfaithful jerks?!
To the person who said life is too short, then people shouldn't choose to get married in the first place. There's no "sincere pain" here - HELLO HE ADMITTED IT AFTER HE WAS BLACKMAILED! He got scared and decided to come out with it before the mistress(es) came out publicly. I'm just finding this ridiculous. It's obvious that people cheat - but when you're in the public eye WHY WHY WHY would you do it?! Everybody is out to get you and make you look miserable, and the whole "I won't tell anybody" doesn't end up being true. What amazes me is how STUPID these men - or cheaters in general - are.
These CHEATERS are ONLY in pain beause they GOT CAUGHT. Just like Tiger and Jesse. If they didn't and weren't being "blackmailed", they would still be cheating. She needs to kick him to the curb fast,'cause he'll do it again, because he did it in the first place! If he loved and respected her he would NOT have done it in the first place so he will do it again, nothing stopped him then what's going to stop him now? Because he got caught due to her black mailing him? Ha, good for her, brought it out in the open for his wife to find out! Divorce him fast, you cannot respect or trust this guy now, he's a liar and a cheater. How can you trust him? You can't.
There is no excuse to cheat on your spouse! That is the ultimate slap in the face and is totally and utterly immoral.
Why is that so hard to do? Keep it in your pants if you love your wife and kids.
David has been hanging around CHRISTIAN KANE too much apparently...I hear they are best buds and single Chris must be rubbing off on him! OH WELL...lifes too short...party like a ROCKSTAR!
I agree with Joy...he only came clean because he didn't want to pay the mistress off. It was on E! news the other night that he had already paid her smaller bits of money a few times and then that hag Gloria Alred got involved with the skank and tried to extort him. Of course he didn't want to be outed but money was the source of his public humiliation. I think all men think with their D!cks instead of their brains and you get what you deserve when you're a cheater...PERIOD!
Believe it or not, yes. A lot of people still watch Angel reruns on TNT and a lot of people do watch Bones. And, the majority of David's fans were under the impression he was a loving, faithful, family man. Because, that was the image he projected in all of his interviews. He seemed to be in love with his wife, seemed to be happily married, etc. Those who are David's fans who weren't under that impression aren't fazed by this, but are still probably disappointed in him. Just not as disappointed as those who truly are shocked by the revelation, because they believed he was innocent.
Hey, I'm all for having two or more husbands. I seen on t.v a woman had two husbands, about time.
Not surprising. I knew David would eventually have to come clean. He's been a notorious cheater since his first marriage and was already outed for the affair with Rachel back in October. Never doubted that story one bit. Sue's statement pisses me off, because it's not a brave thing to do. He came clean because he's been outed, not because he wanted to. I can understand why Jaime is agreeing to stay with David (I think it's mostly for the kids and financial stability), but that kind of lets him know that he can get away with it and almost perpetuates the behavior. It's not the first time he's cheated on her and it won't be the last. Good that they're in counseling and trying to work things out, but sadly I don't think they'll make it in the long run. She does NOT deserve to be cheated on whatsoever, but she knew what he was like when she married him. Jaime knew what she was getting herself into - this was to be expected. Those poor kids - they're the ones who are hurt the most. Cynical, I think she's staying mostly for the kids and maybe some financial stability too. Interesting how she was pregnant when she married David. Not saying that means anything, since I don't know him or Jaime or what their relationship was like, but I often wonder if they would have gotten married as soon as they did, had she not been pregnant at the time.
Cynical, I have absolutely nothing against Jaime because I don't know her or what their marriage is like. But, I do find it kind of suspect that she was pregnant when she married David. Obviously, mistakes happen. So, it doesn't necessarily mean anything. But, I often wonder if they would have gotten married as soon as they did, had she not been pregnant at the time. I think Jaime is putting up with this and agreeing to work things out (he apparently begged her to take him back, if you believe that report from the fall) mostly for the kids, though. And probably, because of some sense of financial stability. It's easier than leaving and having to essentially start over by yourself.
Is Boreanaz famous enough for people to care? "I'll bet infidelity is lower in mormon polygamy."--That's just a definitional argument. You just precluded infidelity by broadening the definition of marriage.
Not surprised. I knew this would come out sooner or later and David would have no choice but to fess up to it. When the Rachel Uchitel story broke in October, I never had any doubt about it whatsoever. So, this doesn't surprise me either. I've always been a fan of his and still love him, but this isn't anything new. He cheated on his first wife Ingrid Quinn too, which was why she left him. And, David's been cheating on Jaime for years. He'll do it again, because it's a pattern of behavior and he's done it before. She knew what he was like when she married him in 2001, but that still does NOT excuse his cheating on her. She had every right to expect David to be completely faithful to her, when they got married. I wouldn't stay with him if I were Jaime, but that's just me. I feel like it's almost telling him he can get away with it and perpetuating the behavior for it to happen again in the future. Because, it will. Once a cheater, always a cheater in my opinion. That being said, I feel very sorry for her and the kids and wish all the best for them, because they obviously did not deserve this. Those poor children. They're the ones who are hurt the most. That being said, her mother's statement really irritates me. I understand what Sue is saying, and though I wouldn't stay with David after this if I were Jaime, I can understand why she would with 2 small children involved. I think it's great that the two of them are in counseling and are trying to work things out. However, I'm honestly not sure I see this marriage lasting much longer. Maybe, I'm wrong and they will make it through this. But, I just have a sinking feeling they won't. Which is sad, but you reap what you sow as they say. But, I find that the mother-in-law's statement is pretty much down-playing the entire thing. David would have had to admit it eventually anyway, because sooner or later, it would have been exposed. So, there's no bravery in coming clean now. And, this most probably will not be the last time he cheats on Jaime. But, hopefully she is strong enough to make it through this. And should she change her mind in the end, I wish only the best for her and the kids, whatever she ultimately decides.
I am sure he was in "extreme pain" when he was with the other women away from his wife and children. Cry me a river. WHat a jerk.
the white/white american marriages has become so dysfunctional we might as well just legalize polygamy. Would a man with 3 younger wives to satisfy... cheat? I dont think so. That would be 3 frying pans to the head instead of one. Monogamy is a failure in the american west and is only getting more failed over the passage of time. I'll bet infidelity is lower in mormon polygamy.
Why do people even get married what is the point?
