  • Draco1 day agoMay 4, 20259:24 amDude, he's prob'ly talkin' 'bout not bein' a jackass 'bout it, which, let's face it, a lotta rich guys ain't. But c'mon, nobody cheats respectfully. That's just a messed up fantasy.
  • JeyBizness1 day agoMay 4, 202510:11 amCmon... you KNOW he's talkin' 'bout bein' super shady and having no regards for the wife, who'd rather not know 'bout any of the sneakin' around. But, ya, let's pretend not to see the forest for the trees here.
• TingyMingy1 day agoMay 4, 20251:01 amDivorce being a bummer doesn't mean it's the same as regretting it
• Dracula Pants1 day agoMay 4, 20256:56 amFair enough, but Gavin cheated on Gwen with the nanny, right?

  • rasil22 hours agoMay 4, 20251:22 pmAnd Gwen's recently come out as a maga supporter. Between the cheating and her fascist views, I'll take a cheater any day. Cheating affects three people. Fascism is about creating a dictatorship and causing harm to large groups of people. Ain't even close.
• Ginny Jensen1 day agoMay 4, 20252:14 amI've always thought Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck made a killer couple. They always looked so damn happy in pictures together, and Jen's always been radiant when she's smilin'. By contrast, he always looked like crap in most pics with J.Lo. I hope they get back together again, but...
  • pookanator1 day agoMay 4, 20257:25 amSadly, it ain't likely. She's been happy with her man for years now. Ben and Jen work best as co-parents and pals, rather than husband and wife. They've made it abundantly clear.
  • Ginny Jensen9 hours agoMay 5, 20252:36 amDamn, that's a bummer. 😕
• smcgraw11 day agoMay 4, 202512:21 amHaters gonna hate, but divorce ain't a failure
  • pookanatorEdited 1 day agoMay 4, 20257:28 amSometimes, it's about finding the wrong person or marrying for the wrong reasons in the first place. In those cases, divorce can be seen as a victory, especially when a woman's chosen to leave an abusive relationship that's putting her and her kids in danger.
  • Sasha Kyääti7 hours agoMay 5, 20253:40 am@pookanator And a man can find himself in an abusive marriage too, ya know.
• rlstahr1 day agoMay 4, 20258:52 amRegarding Jen and Ben. Before their divorce, Sandra Bullock had been styling her for a red carpet event. When it came time to pick a dress, she said, "My husband, who never notices anything I wear, was like 'Wow!' for the black dress, so I'm gonna go with that one." I found that shit heartbreaking and revealing.
• vickih4634a69d51 day agoMay 4, 202511:12 amMy ex husband texted me last night on our 7th wedding anniversary, saying he didn't wanna live with me anymore and asked for a divorce. No chance to work it out or see a therapist. I didn't cheat or be abusive. He just wasn't happy. I understand why people think of divorce as a failure or like a death…
• elliestew1221 hours agoMay 4, 20251:47 pmOut of all these celebs, I'm shocked and, against my will, impressed that a Kardashian didn't dance around a cheating scandal the most.
• suddenlymarie1 day agoMay 4, 202510:14 amI remember David Arquette played Phoebe's stalker in the first season of Friends. I figured Courtney couldn't have met him then.
  • Dh00dz1 day agoMay 4, 202510:47 amThat episode of Friends aired back in 1996. David and Courteney already knew each other by then, thanks to the movie Scream. I reckon she was the one who suggested him for the part.

The Lowdown on Celebrity Heartbreak

Celebrities face a unique set of challenges when it comes to relationships, often finding themselves under a microscope in the public eye. Here's a look at some popular cases and the ways celebrities deal with infidelity and divorce:

Infidelity Follies

1. Published Fights and Forgiveness: When infidelity is exposed, celebrities must address it publicly. Sandra Bullock took a graceful approach after discovering her husband Jesse James's infidelities, choosing to file for divorce immediately[1].
2. Gossip and Lies: In some cases, tabloid rumors of infidelity circulate without concrete evidence. Gisele Bündchen refuted speculation of an affair with her jiu-jitsu instructor after her split with Tom Brady[2].
3. Emotional Pain: Infidelity can lead to deep emotional wounds, even when it's not explicitly mentioned as the reason for divorce, as shown by Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's relationship, where Cannon's wandering eye was rumored to have played a role[3].

Divorce Developments

1. Image Management: Celebrities often focus on managing their public image during a divorce, using controlled statements or strategic social media posts to portray a positive front.
2. Personal Growth: Many celebrities direct their efforts towards self-improvement post-divorce, using the experience to promote self-care and mental health. Gisele Bündchen, for example, has emphasized the importance of self-care after her separation[2].
3. Laugh Away the Pain: Some celebrities find humor to be a coping mechanism, such as comedian Gary Owen, but jokes can sometimes backfire, as he experienced during his divorce proceedings[4].

Scrutiny and Tabloid Titillation

• Inescapable Media Coverage: High-profile breakups generate constant media attention, placing celebrities under intense public scrutiny and making their personal lives an open book.
• Salacious Stories and Unfounded Rumors: Even without verifiable proof, scandalous tales of infidelity and other personal matters may spread like wildfire in the press, adding to the stress celebrities face during these times.
