Living in Tinseltown has its ups and downs, and while everyone certainly aims for the good side, the bad side always seemingly gets the spotlight, especially with messy celebrity breakups. Cheating is the number one cause of divorce, and many huge personalities have admitted to shamelessly committing it—yikes!
It’s difficult to muster the courage to speak up and own one’s mistake, but it had to be done. We’ve got a list of famous figures who have confessed to succumbing to temptation, with some revealing their reasons for doing so!
1. Jack Nicholson
Jack Nicholson was with Anjelica Houston when he impregnated another woman. He admitted to the actress what he did, and she remarkably told him to support and provide for the poor girl. Not long after this revelation, the actress found out about another cheating incident. Nicholson said he got beaten up real bad by Houston as a consequence of his infidelity.
Despite his admission, The Shining actor justified his nasty behavior by revealing to Parade Magazine (via She Knows): “I’m such a wag! I’m a scamp. I don’t deny it. I like myself…” adding that he grew up in a family beauty parlor where he got to talk to a lot of women.
2. Justin Timberlake
Who would ever forget the singer’s public apology to wife Jessica Biel after he cheated on her with Palmer co-star Alisha Wainwright? There was a nasty rumor circulating online after photos of Justin Timberlake and his alleged mistress were caught holding hands.
Shortly after, he revealed that nothing had happened between them and that he was drunk. While he regretted his action, he also promised to be a better husband this time. It looks like they are still together and hopefully, that will last forever.
3. Jesse James
Sandra Bullock and automotive enthusiast Jesse James had a tumultuous marriage after several women claimed to have had affairs with the guy. He made a public apology, with his publicist later announcing that he checked into rehab.
In a not-so-tasteful take, he told Daily Mail: “The easy [put down] is like, oh well you cheated on Sandra Bullock. That’s the world’s easiest comeback. In general, both women and men cheat,” he said while claiming it is part of life. We beg to differ!
4. John Legend
Who would have thought the All of Me singer was a serial cheater? John Legend confessed this in his interview with Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard. He said he couldn’t get the girls when he was younger so when he became famous, he enjoyed the attention.
Legend changed his old habits when he met his current wife, Chrissy Teigen. They have also become one of Hollywood’s most adored couples.
5. Adam Levine
The Maroon 5 frontman is married to Namibian model Behati Prinsloo, who was also a Victoria’s Secret Angel, so it’s pretty shocking to hear that Adam Levine reportedly cheated on her with a 23-year-old Instagram model.
In a TikTok video, Sumner Stroh accused the singer of having an affair with her. Levine explained that he did not get involved with anyone, although he admitted to speaking with others in a flirtatious manner, which he regrets.
6. Tristan Thompson
Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson’s on-and-off relationship has become the subject of media scrutiny through the years. He allegedly cheated on his ex-partner while she was pregnant, and then he also admitted to fathering a son with model Maralee Nichols.
Kardashian finally got tired of it and decided to end her relationship with Thompson for good. She’s happily focused on spending time with her children.
