Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck

The Batman star and Alias alum announced their divorce one day after their 10-year wedding anniversary in June 2015. Almost a month later, Us Weekly exclusively revealed that the Argo star had been cheating on his wife with their former nanny, Christine Ouzounian. At the time, a rep for Affleck told Us that “all allegations of a romantic relationship are baseless and untrue.” In 2017, Us confirmed that Affleck had been seeing another woman, Lindsay Shookus (whom he dated until April 2019), for three years while legally married to Garner. A source at the time told Us that both Garner and Shookus’ ex-husband, Kevin Miller, learned about the relationship in 2015, and another source said it was the “real catalyst” to Affleck and Garner’s divorce.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard

In March 2019, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard, in which he claimed that in 2015 she cheated with him on Elon Musk. The two wed in February 2015 and, according to Depp, the alleged affair happened about a month after that. "Unbeknownst to Mr. Depp, no later than one month after his marriage to Ms. Heard, she was spending time in a new relationship with Tesla and Space X founder, Elon Musk,” the lawsuit said. A rep for Musk told E! News that “Elon and Amber didn’t start seeing each other until May 2016. Their relationship didn’t become romantic until some time later.” The twosome split in May 2016.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé

In 2014, the couple nearly split after Beyoncé’s sister, Solange Knowles, was captured on security footage freaking out on her brother-in-law in an NYC elevator. At the time, sources told Us that Solange flipped because Jay-Z was flirting with one of his alleged conquests. In April 2016, the “Single Ladies” singer released her Lemonade album, which shocked fans by addressing rumors about her husband’s fidelity through lyrics and her music videos. On his album 4:44, the rapper seemingly addressed the rumors about him cheating on the “Sorry” singer. On the title track, which was released on June 29, 2017, Jay-Z raps, “You did what with who? / What good is a ménage a trois when you have a soulmate?”

I took full responsibility. I cheated on my wife. Guess what, so do millions of other men,” the motorcycle mogul told Men’s Journal in May 2011. “To be honest, it was unfair for me to even be in a relationship.”
