Unforeseen: Top 10 celebrities cheating scandals of 2024. The celebrity world can be messy, even for those celebrity couples who seem so innocent.

Here are the top 10 celebrity alleged cheating scandals that nobody expected.
Starting off strong, we have Adam Levine, who allegedly cheated on his pregnant wife of 8 years, Behati Prinsloo, with Instagram model Summer Straw. Summer claimed in a since-deleted TikTok that she had an affair with Adam, who currently shares two kids with Behati, that lasted about 1 year.
She said in the September video, “At the time, I was young, I was naive, and I mean quite frankly, I feel exploited. I wasn’t in the scene like I am now, so I was definitely very easily manipulated.” Summer went on to share a series of screenshots that seemingly showed Adam making some quite bizarre remarks about her body.
In one of the images, the Maroon Five frontman appeared to ask if he could use the model’s name for his new baby with Behati. Some of the texts Adam sent his secret lover include, “Holy F, holy effing F, that body of yours is absurd.
How are you such an hourglass?” Needless to say, the entire ordeal took the internet by storm, with Adam’s alleged texts in particular becoming something of a meme. And more women wound up making similar allegations about the singer’s infidelity. While Adam later denied cheating on Behati in a statement addressing the scandal, he did admit that he “crossed the line.”
Next up, we have the YouTuber scandal that shocked the world.
Ned Fulmer from popular YouTube channel The Try Guys, who got married to Ariel Fulmer in 2012, admitted to engaging in consensual workplace relationships after photos on Reddit appeared to show him kissing a colleague, Alex Herring, in a bar.
Ned shares two children with Ariel and famously built his whole brand around his love and devotion to his family.
“Family should have always been my top priority, but I lost focus and engaged in a consensual workplace relationship,” Ned said in a written statement. “I apologize for any pain that my actions may have caused to the guys and to the fans, but most of all to Ariel.
The only thing that matters right now is my marriage and my children, and that’s where I’m going to focus my attention.”
The rest of the Try Guys – Keith, Zach, and Eugene – confirmed that Ned was no longer working with them as a result of the scandal. “We do not see a path forward together,” they shared. “We thank you for your support as we navigate this change.”
Next up, we have Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian.
Tristan Thompson made headlines twice for cheating on Khloe Kardashian, whom he began dating in 2016. Over the course of their relationship, the Cleveland Cavaliers player was spotted cozying up to two women in April 2018 while Kardashian was pregnant with their daughter, True.
Later that month, US Weekly confirmed that Thompson had been unfaithful to the reality star since November 2017 with at least five different women. However, Thompson was present for their daughter’s birth, which was documented on season 15 of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
US Weekly broke the news in May 2018 that the duo were “fully back together” despite Thompson’s infidelity.
The host of “Revenge Body” defended her decision to reunite with the NBA star in November 2018. His mistake was obviously humiliating and heartbreaking, but “I do believe I am strong enough to endure anything,” she tweeted at the time. “I choose to find a life lesson in every situation, even the nasty ones.
Tristan has grown from this, but most importantly he’s a beautiful father to our sweet baby True.” The athlete and Kardashian split for a second time when he was seen kissing Kylie Jenner’s then-best friend, Jordyn Woods, at a party in 2019.
Next up, we have Kristen Stewart, who cheated on Robert Pattinson with one of her directors, Rupert Sanders.
“I’m deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I’ve caused to those close to me and everybody this has affected,” she said at the time.
“This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life – the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I extend my deepest apologies to Sanders for his actions.” He publicly expressed remorse to his former wife, Liberty Ross, and their two children, Skyla and Tennyson.
“I am deeply saddened by the hurt I’ve inflicted on my family,” stated the English director. “My wife and children mean everything to me. I cherish them dearly.” Both couples called it quits after the news broke.
Next, we have Shakira and Gerard Pique.
Pique was having an affair with a 22-year-old girl while in a relationship with Shakira.
Shakira, a professional soccer player, were together from 2011 to 2022 and have two kids, though they never officially married. In her first interview about the breakup in September, Shakira said, “Sometimes I just feel like this is all a bad dream and that I’m going to wake up at some point.
But no, it’s real.” She continued, “And what’s also real is the disappointment to see something as sacred and as special as I thought was the relationship I had with my kid’s father and see that turned into something vulgarized and cheapened by the media.”
But by January 2023, the gloves were off. Shakira broke records when she dropped “Music Session 53,” which is about Pique and his new 23-year-old girlfriend. In the song, Shakira is worth “two 22-year-olds,” insiders Alan Dawson previously reported.
Our next cheating couple is Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.
While the world is currently wrapped up in “Bennifer” with Jennifer Lopez, lest we forget that Ben Affleck was once in a soap operatic turn of events caught cheating on Jennifer Garner, the mother of his children and wife of 10 years. He cheated on Jennifer Garner with, guess this, the nanny.
The couple divorced in 2018, and after marrying him last year, Jennifer Lopez went on saying that, “Honestly, I would simply walk out if she discovered he’d been unfaithful instead of flying into a rage.”
Next up, we have Jude Law and Sienna Miller.
The pair were a picture-perfect Hollywood couple. The couple had been engaged for 8 months when Jude Law’s kid Nanny, Daisy Wright, claimed that the two had been involved in an affair while he was filming a movie in New Orleans.
Law then published an apology to Miller and the British press Association, saying, “There is no defense for my actions, which I sincerely regret. And I ask that you respect our privacy at this very difficult time.” Miller and Law were on and off for the next few years, breaking up for good in 2011.
“That was one of the most challenging moments I hope I’ll never have to experience again,” she told The Daily Beast in 2022.
The next celeb may come as a bit of a shock: we have David Letterman.
Letterman had only been married to his wife for 6 months, although they had been together for over 20 years, when he admitted to having multiple affairs with women who worked for him on air, including his longtime assistant, Stephanie Burkett.
The affair came to light when Stephanie’s boyfriend, Robert Halderman, a producer at CBS, allegedly tried to extort Letterman for $2 million in exchange for his silence.
But David did not take up the offer and instead said this on live television: “This morning, I did something I’ve never done in my life. I had to go downtown and testify before a grand jury.”
Letterman revealed to the studio audience that he received a package 3 weeks ago containing a threat to reveal those indiscretions if Letterman did not pay the individual a large sum of money specified as 2 million.
He said that the package contained a letter that said, “I know that you do some terrible, terrible things. And I can prove that you do those terrible things.” And sure enough, what was contained in the package was proof that I do terrible, terrible things,” he said.
Our next celeb couple is Kevin Hart and Eniko Parrish.
Kevin Hart’s infidelity story is honestly a little similar to Letterman’s, as he was also being extorted after denying any wrongdoing. He took to Instagram in 2017 to apologize to his wife and Eniko Parrish and his kids.
It was then later revealed that somebody was in possession of an explicit video of Hart and was attempting to receive money from him. Hart and Parrish stayed together, and he spoke about it on a podcast in 2020.
Our final celebrity couple involves Arnold Schwarzenegger.
When Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver announced their separation in 2011 after 25 years of marriage, it was a shock to everybody. The bigger shock, however, came later when the world found out that Schwarzenegger was the father of a son born in 1997, mothered by the couple’s housekeeper at the time. “It’s always the housekeeper, remember.
It’s not like we had a feud,” he explained to People magazine in an interview. “We didn’t have a fight,” he added. “It’s just my f-up. My chapter with Maria will continue on forever.” Hetold people, “Even though it’s a different relationship and we are now separated, there’s no reason for me to feel anything other than love for Maria.
