While the backlash against Maroon 5 lead vocalist, Adam Levine, might leave you thinking otherwise, celebrity cheating scandals are anything but a novelty. From mega-stars like Beyonce and Jay-Z to lesser-known reality TV stars like Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor, multiple Hollywood stars have found themselves battling major cheating scandals.
Allegations of infidelity leave such a nasty stain on celebrity marriages that divorce is almost always inevitable. However, rather than end the marriage, some celebrity couples choose to weather the scandal together, presumably hoping to repair their marriage down the line. Here’s a compilation of some celebrity couples that chose to stick together after a major cheating scandal.
8 Adam Levine And Behati Prinsloo Are Still Going Strong
When Adam Levine came under fire for allegedly cheating on his pregnant wife with an array of social media influencers, most fans assumed that Behati would immediately file for divorce.
However, the two have been spotted hand in hand on several occasions, suggesting that a divorce is unlikely to happen in the near future. Staying together was not easy for Behati, but she chose to stand by Levine and their family despite the hard times. Behati has been very supportive of her husband on her social media.
7 Brittany Cartwright And Jax Taylor Tied The Knot Amid A Cheating Scandal
Vanderpump Rules stars Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor found themselves fighting an upward battle when Jax was caught cheating with their co-star Faith Stowers ahead of their June 2019 nuptials. However, the two chose to work through the scandal and proceed with the wedding as scheduled.
“I see him every single day making efforts, and he’s completely changed the way he treats me,” Cartwright revealed to US Weekly, “the way he talks to me, the way he listens to me. Every single thing about our relationship is better.”
The cheating scandal between Taylor and Stowers is not the only one of its kind to come from Vanderpump Rules. Tom Sandoval was accused of having an affair with costar Raquel Leviss despite being in a longterm relationship with Ariana Madix.
6 Eniko Parrish Forgave Kevin Hart For Cheating In 2017
Jumanji: Next Level star Kevin Hart and his wife Eniko Parrish’s marriage suffered a brutal blow in 2017, when reports emerged that Hart had cheated on Eniko while she was pregnant with their first child. Hart and Eniko chose to move past the scandal and work on their marriage.
“I believe in second chances,” Eniko disclosed during an episode of Netflix’s Don’t F—k This Up. “I’m all about forgiveness, and you only get two times. Three strikes you’re out, you’re out of here. So, as long as he behaves, we’re good.”
5 Beyoncé And Jay-Z's Marriage Survived Despite Jay-Z's Infidelity
After close to a decade of what seemed like a fairytale marriage, reports surfaced in 2017 that Jay-Z had cheated on Beyoncé. The famed couple ultimately managed to salvage their relationship and remain happily married to this day.
“We did the hard work of going to therapy,” Jay-Z disclosed to David Letterman a year after the scandal. “We love each other, so we really put in the work for years.”
To help her process the betrayal, Beyoncé wrote about Jay-Z's affair in her popular album Lemonade. The album was released in 2016, before reports of his infidelity hit the tabloids.
4 David Letterman Cheated On Regina Lasko With Multiple Women
Back in 2009, former Late Show host David Letterman shocked the world when he admitted on air that he’d cheated on his wife of two decades “with women who work for [him].” Despite the scandalous nature of the affairs, Letterman’s wife, Regina Lasko, opted to stand by him.
“I did something that I had no business doing,” Letterman disclosed during a 2018 interview with Jay-Z, “and I regret it, and since then I have tried to acknowledge that mistake and be a better person.”
Fans did find it interesting that the conversation of affairs occured between two men who had previously cheated on their spouses.
3 Hillary And Bill Clinton Survived The Most Publicized Cheating Scandal Of The '90s
In the mid-1990s, the world almost came to a standstill when reports emerged that then president Bill Clinton had had an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. While Clinton suffered major repercussions after the scandal, his marriage to Hillary survived.
“It was really hard. It was painful,” Hillary disclosed during a 2016 CNN interview. “And I was so supported by my friends. My friends just rallied around.”
The affair between Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky continues to be talked about (and joked about) in today's culture. The "Lewinsky Dress" is as relevant as it was in the 1990s when the affair occurred.
2 Mike Caussin And Jana Kramer Stuck It Out For Five Years Before Calling It Quits
Mike Caussin and Jana Kramer chose to stick together after reports emerged that Caussin had been unfaithful barely a year after their 2016 nuptials.
However, after a rather tumultuous five years, within which Mike allegedly cheated with over a dozen more women, Kramer ultimately decided to file for divorce. ”I’ve fought y’all. I’ve loved hard,” Kramer disclosed at the time. “I’ve forgiven. I’ve put the work in. I’ve given everything I have, and now I have nothing else to give.”
Though this divorce was certainly not her fault, Kramer has had a lot of bad luck with love. She has been married three times in total, her other two ex-husbands being Michael Gambino and Johnathon Schaech. Fans of Kramer hope that one day she is able to find her perfect match.
1 Travis Scott And Kylie Jenner Chose To Ignore Their 2018 Cheating Scandal
Back in 2018, Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner's relationship was briefly rocked by a cheating hoax orchestrated by YouTuber Christian Adam G. The two stuck together until February 2019, when they decided to go their separate ways for seemingly unrelated reasons.
"Trolls working hard today,” the rapper wrote on Instagram at the time. “I don’t be on a balcony with no thots. That s–t lame, Try again u trollsssss. Me and my wifey sturdy. Back to celebrating [sic]!!!”
They remained friendly and co-parented extremely well throughout their split. The two celebrities continued to support each other at events and showed a united front as a family. Scott and Jenner rekindled their relationship sometime in 2021 and announced that they were expecting a second child in late-August of that year.
Cheating rumors sparked again in late 2022 after model Rojean Kar shared a video of Scott. He once again denied the claims, but fans were very suspicious. A source confirmed that Scott and Jenner had again parted ways in January 2023, but the reason for their split seemingly had nothing to do with the scandal and everything to do with their lifestyles.
