Ashton Kutcher: When 27 year old Ashton Kutcher married 42 year old Demi Moore in 2005, women of a certain age the world over rejoiced. The word cougar was used, but mostly there was admiration for both Demi and her young new husband. They quickly built what looked like a loving life together but, five years into the marriage, there were rumours of Ashton cheating. A year later, rumour became reality. Ashton spent his sixth wedding anniversary with a wild Demi-free party at a San Diego hotel, finally ending up in a hot tub with two blondes. Demi has now filed for divorce.
Tiger Woods: In 2009, over a dozen women came forward with details of trysts with golfing great Woods, destroying his image as a family man and his five year old marriage to wife Elin, and damaging his reputation and endorsement deals. The scandal broke after Woods rammed his car into a fire hydrant and tree outside his house, instantly sparking rumours of marital discord. The rumours turned out to be true, and Woods apologized and entered rehab. He and Elin finalized their divorce in August 2010.
Ashley Cole: Girls Aloud singer Cheryl had to dump football player Ashley Cole twice after cheating rumours proved true. Their four-year-old marriage ended in 2010 after four allegations of adultery. These followed rumours from two years ago that Ashley had cheated on Cheryl with three women. The Chelsea star moved out of their home, and Cheryl moved on with her life. Or so it seemed. In 2011, there were rumours of a reconciliation. The couple shocked friends and family by getting back together just months after the divorce – but Ashley was again found to have had affairs, even while he had been pursuing his ex-wife. This time, he was out for good.
Jesse James: Sandra Bullock's Oscar glory was diluted shortly after by the revelation that James, her husband of five years, had had an affair with tattoo model Michelle McGee. She was not his only mistress. As a string of women came forward, Bullock and James divorced with Bullock deciding to bring up their newly adopted baby boy by herself. James then started dating celebrity tattoo artist Kat von D, breaking up in September 2011. Kat von D confirmed that the relationship had ended because James had cheated on her with no less than 19 women.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: When the movie star turned politician's marriage to journalist Maria Shriver ended in May 2011, America was taken by surprise. The surprise turned to shock when it was revealed that the former Governor of California had cheated on his wife of 25 years, and it was no drunken tussle in an anonymous hotel either. 10 years earlier, Schwarzenegger had fathered a child with the couple's housekeeper. As more details were made public, the story got more sordid. The housekeeper continued working for Schwarzenegger and Shriver through her pregnancy and the next eight years. She was also revealed to have been pregnant at the same time as Shriver, the babies being born just a week apart. Schwarzenegger confessed to the affair shortly after ending his second term as Governor, prompting Shriver to immediately move out of their home.
Hugh Grant: In 1995, Hugh Grant was busted by the police for soliciting Hollywood prostitute Divine Brown. He later admitted to doing "a bad thing" on Jay Leno. The scandal threatened to destroy his six year relationship with girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley. But it didn't. She took him back and they dated till 2000.
Jude Law: Just months after asking girlfriend Sienna Miller to marry him in 2005, Jude Law was proved to have had a month long affair with his children's nanny. Law publicly apologised to Miller for the indiscretion but she eventually called off the engagement in early 2006. In 2009, they reconciled and all seemed well – until February 2011, when they broke up again, this time for good.
Bill Clinton: Before he occupied the Oval Office, Clinton was reportedly engaged in extra-marital affairs with Ginnifer Flowers and Paula Jones. But it was his dalliance with White House intern Monica Lewinsky that threatened his marriage and his subsequent impeachment by Congress. In the event, the American President got off lightly. Wife Hillary Clinton stood by him, and the Senate voted not to remove him from office.
Saif Ali Khan: Before Ashton married Demi, Saif married Amrita Singh, 12 years his senior, in 1991. Like the Demi-Ashton marriage, this one dissolved 13 years and two children later. Saif was revealed to have been having an affair with Italian model Rosa Catalano. He divorced Amrita and continued his relationship with Rosa. Eventually, that ended as well and the entity known as Saifeena came into being. Saif and Kareena Kapoor are rumoured to have a 2012 wedding planned.
Guru Dutt: The 1953 wedding of director Guru Dutt and playback singer Geeta Roy was the stuff cinematic dreams are made of. By 1957, their marriage was in trouble and Dutt began an affair with actress Waheeda Rehman, his leading lady in Pyaasa. He went on to direct her in classics like Chaudhvin Ka Chand and the semi-autobiographical Kagaz Ke Phool. Rumour has it, she broke off the affair after completing Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam in 1962. Two years later, Dutt was dead of an overdose of alcohol and sleeping pills. It was his third suicide attempt. He was separated from wife Geeta at the time, and she herself died a few years ater from excessive drinking.
