Britney Spears

In her 2023 memoir, Britney Spears revealed that she cheated on ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake with dancer Wade Robson way back in the early 2000s but says the duo “agreed to move past” the incident.

She also revealed Timberlake had cheated on her with an unnamed celebrity before their relationship ended in 2002.

Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson admitted to having an “emotional affair” with Johnny Knoxville during her marriage to Nick Lachey in her memoir. She wrote, “But to me, an emotional affair was worse than a physical one. It’s funny, I know, because I had placed such an emphasis on sex by not having it before marriage.

After I actually had sex, I understood that the emotional part was what mattered… Johnny and I had that, which seemed far more of a betrayal to my marriage than sex.” The couple ultimately divorced in 2006 following four years of marriage.

Kris Jenner

Kris Jenner‘s marriage to her first husband, Robert Kardashian, ended after she cheated on him. She admitted to the affair in her 2011 memoir and though she kept the man’s name private, it has since been revealed to be a former soccer player named Todd Waterman.

In a 2023 episode of The Kardashians, Jenner revealed that the affair was her “biggest regret.” When asked why she did it to her daughter Khloé, Jenner said, “I don’t know because he was such a great husband and such a great dad, and I think that I fell into a situation where I thought that the grass was greener somewhere else, and I made a huge mistake.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

During his tenure as governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s wife of 25 years, Maria Shriver grew suspicious that her husband had fathered a love child with their housekeeper Mildred.

After his term finished, Shriver confronted the actor in the couple’s therapy.

Though he already admitted to it over a decade ago, Schwarzenegger reflected on the affair again in his recent Netflix docuseries.

“Maria and I went to counseling once a week, and in one of the sessions the counselor said, ‘I think today Maria wants to be very specific about something. She wants to know if you are the father of Joseph,’” Schwarzenegger remembered. “I thought my heart stopped, and then I told the truth.”

In May 2011, the couple split, and, later that month, Schwarzenegger came clean to the world about his lookalike son Joseph Baena.

Tiger Woods

In 2009, it was reported that a golfer had been unfaithful to his then-wife, model Elin Nordegren, with whom he has two children. The story goes that after being confronted by Nordegren, he attempted to escape, only to crash his car outside their Florida mansion shortly after Thanksgiving.

Months later, Woods publicly acknowledged these reports at a press conference.

“I felt I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame, I didn’t have to go far to find them,” he stated, adding that he had spent 45 days in in-patient treatment. “I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated. What I did is not acceptable. And I am the only person to blame.”

Bill Clinton

Throughout his political journey from Governor of Arkansas to President of the United States, Bill Clinton has been shadowed by allegations of infidelity. For instance, during his 1992 presidential run, Gennifer Flowers, an Arkansas state employee, alleged she had a 12-year affair with Clinton.

However, his most notorious affair, which almost cost him his presidency, was with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, lasting from 1995 to 1997.

The affair was exposed in 1998 when Linda Tripp, a coworker of Lewinsky’s, released recordings of conversations between the two discussing Lewinsky’s relationship with the president. This scandal, along with his attempts to conceal it, led to Clinton’s impeachment by the House, though he was ultimately acquitted by the Senate.
