Since bringing their son into this world, Messing and Zelman kept a rather low profile in Hollywood before dropping a major bombshell in 2012. After 11 years of marriage, the couple decided it was time for them to go their separate paths. However, it wasn’t until 2016 that their split became official.
Debbie Reynolds & Eddie Fisher
Hollywood is filled with interesting tales of love and loss, but nothing was quite fascinating as Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher’s relationship. The former lovebirds were practically cinematic royalties back in the 40s until the 50s. Individually, there were already enjoying a large degree of fame, but their union in 1955 only intensified their popularity. While they were married, Debbie and Eddie became parents to two beautiful children, Todd and Carrie Fisher, who would grow up to be Hollywood legends themselves.
Unfortunately, happy as their marriage seemed, it would soon fall into the Hollywood curse. After four years together as husband and wife, the couple ended their marriage in 1959. Their split was highly controversial at that time because Eddie got into a relationship with Debbie’s best friend, Elizabeth Taylor, shortly after. However, everyone eventually patched everything up, and Debbie and Eddie continued to co-parent their children until adulthood.
Darcy LaPier & Jean-Claude Van Damme
When Darcy LaPier and Jean-Claude Van Damme first got together, they became the target of several tabloid headlines. However, despite the controversies surrounding the beginning of their relationship, the couple went on to have a family.
The couple later tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Bangkok, Thailand, in 1994. During their marriage, Van Damme and LaPier became parents to Nicholas van Varenberg, born in 1995. Unfortunately, one year after the couple welcomed their son, they decided to consult their lawyers to separate. Since separating, both Van Damme and LaPier moved on to other relationships, with their son staying primarily with his mother. It’s unclear if the couple still maintains a close relationship, but we know that they are both trying to guide their son through some rough patches in his life. Their son is now in his mid-twenties.
Daniel Craig & Fiona Loudon
007 actor Daniel Craig may be a notorious lady’s man on screen, but the British actor only boasts of two marriages in real life, with the first being with Fiona Loudon. The two started dating back in 1991 and tied the knot the following year. That same year, Craig and Loudon welcomed their daughter Ella. Then in 1994, the former couple decided to end their marriage and share custody of their daughter.
According to some sources, Ella had a relatively hard childhood since she had to alternate between her father and mother’s residences. However, Craig and Loudon worked out their differences and ensured that Ella was well-provided and cared for despite their arrangement. Former Mr. and Mrs. Craig also made all the necessary investments for Ella’s future. Nowadays, the young Craig is finding her own footing in the world as a model and aspiring actress.
Frances Fisher & Clint Eastwood
As previously mentioned, Clint Eastwood is popular for things beyond his films, and that includes his high-profile relationships. One of his earliest and most popular romances was with Frances Fisher, an actress knownm for her roles in Titanic and The Edge of Night.
The pair met in 1988 when they were working on the film Pink Cadillac. After meeting on the film’s set, they privately dated for two whole years before opening up to the public in 1990. They again starred alongside each other in the film Unforgiven before Fisher gave birth to their daughter, Francesca Eastwood, on August 7, 1993. Francesca’s birth was also the first time Eastwood was present to witness his child’s birth. However, despite accomplishing so many milestones with Frances, the duo ultimately split in 1995. Francesca stayed with her mother for most of her life but maintained some degree of communication with her father.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. & Josie Harris
Without a shadow of a doubt, Floyd Mayweather is one of the most prominent figures in boxing and in sports. Outside the ring, however, he is a family man to his five kids. Mayweather first became a father with his former partner, Josie Harris. According to sources, she met the boxing legend back when she was just 16 years old. Mayweather was still an unknown name at the time, so the pair enjoyed much of their earlier years away from the limelight.
Later on, while pursuing her college degree, Harris got pregnant and gave birth to their first son, Koraun. Three years later, they added their son Zion to the brood, followed by their daughter Jirah. Raising their kids was an arduous task, especially since they were growing up around the same time their father’s career gained momentum. However, the two made it work until they ended their 15-year relationship in 2010.
Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin
Out of all the beloved celebrity couples on this list, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are perhaps the two most prominent figures. The former couple spent thirteen long years together until they announced their amicable split in 2016. They welcomed children together throughout those thirteen years: their daughter, Apple, born in 2004, followed by their son, Moses, born in 2006. As parents, Paltrow and Martin were known to be very hands-on.
Although they were at the height of their careers when they became parents, they made sure that Apple and Moses were kept away from the spotlight. Both of them even revealed that their kids were raised as normal as possible. In an interview with Ellen Degeneres, Martin also expressed how proud he was of his daughter when she started her first job at a clothing store. They were definitely an adorable family, which is why fans were shocked when lawyers legally dissolved their marriage in 2016.
Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale
Gwen Stefani, the high-octane frontwoman of No Doubt, was a part of another one of music’s hottest couples. That was long before she and Blake Shelton became The Voice’s cutest duo. Stefani and Gavin Rossdale were rock royalty twenty-five years ago, with a musical meet-cute to boot. However, the pair split back in August 2015 after nearly 13 years of marriage.
Stefani and Rossdale met in 1995 while on tour with the Goo Goo Dolls with No Doubt and Bush. More than six years of dating, and he popped the question to Stefani in 2002. They have three children together: Kingston James, Zuma Nesta, and Apollo Bowie. Rossdale has, for the most part, attempted to co-parent his children as best he could. Now the kids are all grown up, and we guess we have to wait if any of them will follow their parents’ music investments.
Gregg Allman & Cher
To start with, he was a rocker, and she was a pop singer; musically and socially, they seemed to have little in common. Cher met Gregg Allman in the summer of 1975. They immediately got married, but nine days later, Cher consulted a lawyer and filed for a legal separation.
Cher found out she was pregnant shortly after their first split, so they rekindled their love and once again said their vows. They managed to stay together for a brief period after the birth of Elijah. Three years later, the couple found themselves mired in a rut once more, this time for good. Although their marriage did not survive long, their connection remained a source of intrigue for spectators. They have kept in touch through Elijah Blue, who has carved out a niche as a musician in his own right. Elijah has his band and has accumulated incredible wealth throughout the years.
Goldie Hawn & Bill Hudson
Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson tied the knot back in 1976, the same year Oliver was born. They welcomed Kate into the world in 1979. Hudson was largely absent from the kids’ lives after separation, and Kurt Russell reared them alongside Hawn. Despite their lack of contact with their father, they have developed successful careers under the Hudson surname.
Oliver got a job as a production assistant on the set of Executive Decision. He started going to auditions and starred as Katie Holmes’ love interest on the hit TV series Dawson’s Creek. His next major break came when he landed the role of Adam Rhodes on the hit TV show Rules of Engagement. His sister, Kate, on the other hand, is carving her degree as an actress as well. She is known for her character in the film Almost Famous, becoming a well-known actress after being praised for her performance and winning multiple honors.
Gillian Anderson and Mark Griffiths
For many years, Gillian Anderson has graced our television screens. She has played various notable characters, including Agent Dana Scully on The X Files, and now portrays Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Anderson met Mark Griffiths after his separation from her former husband, Clyde Klotz. He is a director of MET Parking Services, which is in charge of enforcing parking restrictions by clamping, towing, and fining drivers. Griffiths and Anderson never got married, but they are the parents of two children: Felix and Oscar.
Felix and Oscar are currently enjoying their mother’s opulent lifestyle as a result of her successful career. Anderson has been in the entertainment industry since she was 22 years old, and at the age of 52, she has amassed a long list of accomplishments and awards. Now the question is, will Felix and Oscar follow their mother’s steps or inherit the investments of their father? Guess we have to wait.
Giada De Laurentiis & Todd Thompson
If you’ve been a Food Network fan, you’ve probably heard her talk about cooking for her then-husband, Todd Thompson. Giada De Laurentiis, the celebrity chef of Everyday Italian, met Thompson before her TV stardom. De Laurentiis was only 18 years old at that time and married in 2003. He would even appear on her show to try out the recipes she was cooking. Sadly, after more than a decade together, the couple split in 2014.
De Laurentiis and Thompson may have broken up for various reasons, but one thing is sure in their life now: Jade comes first. She may not have her own Food Network show, but she is a mini-celebrity in her own right, frequently appearing in her mother’s many shows. So, does Jade aspire to be a chef like her mother? As it turns out, she has a lot more interests than making exquisite dinners. She has a wide range of degrees in front of her, from horses to gymnastics and everything in between.
Garth Brooks & Sandy Mahl
Garth Brooks usually collaborates with his wife Trisha Yearwood, but many fans are unaware that he and his first wife, Sandy Mahl, co-wrote one of his best hits. Brooks met Mahl while working as a bouncer in a campus club at Oklahoma State. In 1986, they married after becoming college sweethearts. Their union brought them three daughters: Taylor, August, and Allie Colleen. Brooks’ career then took off throughout the marriage, and he became the megastar we know today.
He proclaimed his retirement in 2000, and in 2001, they went on their separate lives. Taylor, like her parents, went to Oklahoma State University. She has been the most private of her sisters in recent years. August is now married and has children of her own. Allie is a rising country singer, following in her famous father’s investments. They are undoubtedly privileged to have three role models in their parents.
Gabriel Aubry & Halle Berry
Halle Berry is one of Hollywood’s most accomplished women. She has an Oscar, a long career investment with her, and she works on various projects. Berry had a committed relationship with model Gabriel Aubry around 2005. They met for the first time back in 2005 while attending a Versace event. Berry was already a well-known actress at the time, and Aubry was a famous model.
The two hit it off right away and developed their friendship into a relationship. Nahla Ariela, their daughter, was born in 2008. Sadly, two years after the birth of their only daughter, their love story came to an end. While the reclusive actress usually keeps her children off social media, it appears that she made an exception for some special occasions. On March 16, the Oscar winner used Instagram to pay tribute to her daughter, who had just turned 13. Sure enough, she is adamant about keeping her children out of the spotlight.
Hilary Duff & Mike Comrie
Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie started dating back in 2007 and had a fast-paced love. In February 2010, they got engaged, and in August 2010, they exchanged vows in an evening ceremony. Despite their picture-perfect wedding at the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California, the couple’s marriage was far from flawless. In March 2012, the young couple brought their first child, son Luca Cruz, into the world. However, the couple put the brakes on happily ever after.
They finally reached an agreement in January 2016, and despite Duff’s initial demands, they agreed to share custody of Luca. The actress kept both of the couple’s investment homes: a Beverly Hills mansion and a Malibu mobile home, which we assume isn’t your average trailer. Although the couple split, Duff insists she would not select anyone else to co-parent her kid with. We’re always excited to see new images of Luca, especially now that he’s turned into a devoted big brother.
Heidi Klum & Seal
Seal and Heidi Klum exchanged vows in 2005 and became one of the world’s sexiest celebrity couples. After meeting for the first time in a New York City hotel lobby, they dated for a bit before Seal proposed to her on a glacier in British Columbia in 2004. On the facade, it seemed to be a perfect fit. However, appearances can be deceiving. Things were starting to fall apart by 2011, and they announced their split in January of 2012.
Despite this, the two have remained cordial co-parents, and Seal will always be the kids’ father. Klum and Seal have five children together: Leni (whose biological father is Flavio Briatore), Henry, Johan, and Lou. For the most part, Leni, Johan, and Lou keep their personal lives private. Henri, on the other hand, just graduated from middle school. While the kids are a mystery, we are pretty sure that they have a bright future ahead of them with their parents’ investment money.
Iggy Azalea and Playboi Carti
Iggy Azalea transitioned from a high-profile modeling degree to rap stardom in the mid-2010. She broke into the Hot 100 with a trifecta of hits in 2014: Fancy, Problem, and Black Widow. Playboi Carti rose to prominence in the mid-2010s as an affiliate of A$AP Mob, with a repetitious and catchy flow. Rumors about their dating arose back in September 2018. However, Azalea confirmed the end of her intimate engagement with Carti on Instagram in October 2020.
Azalea’s tumultuous relationship with Carti and subsequent breakup significantly impacted her life, especially since they had a child. The former couple kept the pregnancy a secret from the world, and when Azalea announced the arrival of baby Onyx in June 2020, she took everyone by surprise. We often see glimpses of Onyx through her social media accounts, and according to Azalea, she is “not in a relationship” and is parenting the boy alone.
Johnny Galecki & Alaina Meyer
John Mark Galecki, better known by his stage name Johnny Galecki, is best known for his Roseanne and The Big Bang Theory roles. The public favorably receives his portrayal of geeks or ‘techie’ characters on screen. Alaina Meyer, on the other hand, is well known for her relationship with Galecki. Her fame on social media has skyrocketed since then.
Meyer and Galecki displayed hints of their growing romance in August 2018, when they went on a Tahiti Beach holiday together in the Bahamas. The following month, the couple made their Instagram debut. Galecki and Meyer announced in May 2019 that they were expecting their first child and were “extremely overjoyed.” Meyer gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Avery in December of 2019, and he now dominates his parents’ social media profiles. Despite the former couple calling it quits, they still continue to build investments for their kid.
Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony
They were legendary, an untouchable Hollywood pair that encapsulated a specific degree in our cultural vocabulary. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony allegedly met backstage at the Broadway production The Capeman in 1998. They collaborated on multiple occasions: she co-starred in the music video for his song Contra La Corriente, and he recorded a duet with her for her debut album On The 6.
They married in a private ceremony at their home in Beverly Hills in June of 2004. They had twins Max and Emme four years later but announced their split in 2014. Emme is her mom’s younger version, and she’s already well on her way to following in her parents’ footsteps as a superstar. She even authored and released her book in 2020. Max is likewise a natural. The teen is practically a carbon copy of his father and is a fantastic vocalist. Luckily for these kids, they are fortunate to be a part of a star-studded life.
Jennifer Grey and Clark Gregg
Only a tiny percentage of Hollywood couples go on to develop a life together. Clark Gregg and Jennifer Grey were one of those that were married for a long time and enjoyed a good one. However, the couple announced their separation leaving us all heartbroken. They are two truly wonderful people who tried their hardest to make it work, but as fate had it, they weren’t able to save it.
The pair started dating in 2000 and married in a gorgeous wedding on a Martha’s Vineyard beach the following year. Gregg and Grey have been together for nearly 19 years. They may have split, but their strong relationships, as well as their mutual affection, will surely last a lifetime, at least for their 19-year old daughter, Stella Gregg. She has done some acting herself, but she otherwise appears to be a typical adolescent. Given her parents’ career investments, it is not surprising to see her grace the red carpet anytime soon.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are a match made in heaven. However, even the best relationships have challenges that, sadly, are sometimes irreparable. They first met during the filming of Pearl Harbor for the first time. Later, Garner and Affleck co-starred in the film Daredevil, which brought them even closer together. He proposed to her after only half a year, and on June 29, 2005, the pair tied the knot. Their marriage, unfortunately, was not meant to be.
Affleck and Garner have three children together during their marriage. Their eldest daughter, Violet, may have her mother’s looks, but Garner claims that her personality is 100% of Affleck’s.” Seraphina was born in 2009 and has grown up right before our eyes, much like her older sister. Samuel arrived in 2012, and he appears to have inherited his mother’s sense of humor. With their parents’ investment money, these kids won’t have trouble growing up.
Jacqueline Ray & Tom Selleck
Tom Selleck was a constant face on television for many years and is known for many iconic roles. He notably played Thomas Magnum in the ’80s hit Magnum, P.I. Selleck married Jacqueline Ray for the first time in 1971, and their union lasted for over a decade until they announced their split in 1982. Like many other actresses in the entertainment world, Ray was a well-known model. She began modeling in the ‘60s, and her degree allowed her to appear in numerous prominent fashion magazines.
During their 11-year marriage, he adopted Ray’s son Kevin, who is the actress’s son from her first marriage. However, after adopting Kevin, Selleck changed his name to Kevin Selleck. He followed in his parents’ footsteps and became an actor, most known for Scream 2. Kevin is married to Annabel Selleck in terms of his personal life, with whom he reportedly has six children.
Jacelyn Reeves & Clint Eastwood
Clint Eastwood had fallen in love with several women. Some he walked down the aisle with, others, like Jacelyn Reeves, were not considered to be among his wives. There are conflicting reports on how the two met, but Reeves worked as a flight attendant when they started a relationship. The couple spent five years together and they had two children together named Scott and Katherine. Though their love story did not last long, Reeves made sure that her children did not want for anything. She worked hard and used her investment money to raise her kids.
The two have followed their father’s footsteps, but it was Scott who has found more success in it. He started out as a model then turned to acting. He even appeared in some of his father’s own movies like Flags of Our Fathers and Invictus. His movie, The Longest Ride, won him accolades and awards too.
Kristin Grannis & Jamie Foxx
Comedian and action star Jamie Foxx has kept his personal life out of the limelight. However, paparazzi are quick to spot if he has a new flame. The actor hasn’t tied the knot just yet, but he has been spotted with his ex-girlfriend, Kristin Grannis, with whom he shares his youngest daughter with. Foxx is also notorious for keeping his children out of the limelight, but he does bring them in events from time to time.
The Collateral actor often brings his youngest to the movies whenever she fancies something, which clearly shows that he is willing to spend some of his investment money to please his little princess. Though the Grannis and Foxx are done with one another, they found time to co-parent their child. The two were seen together with their little one and even just the two of them. This is good news since they were able to keep their relationship amicable for their child.
Kristin Cavallari & Jay Cutler
The credit for Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler’s relationship goes to Guiliana Rancic since it was her who introduced the two. Cavallari stated in an interview that she and Cutler were balanced because of their opposite characteristics. They did tie the knot and welcomed three children into their home before Cutler retired from playing in NFL. The actress, however, went back to starring in reality TV called Very Cavallari.
Unfortunately, they lost the spark in their relationship, and the two agreed to split. They came into terms that they will co-parent their children, but Cavallari wants to have full custody of the three. Though there were allegations of cheating being bandied about, there is no real proof of any. The couple has remained mum about what pushed them into making the decision. The former flames weren’t asking for child support since both have an impressive net worth on their own.
Kourtney Kardashian & Scott Disick
The on-again, off-again couple, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, has called it quits for good back in 2015. However, this did not stop them from being co-parents to their three children, whom they have been doting on since they were little. The ex-couple made sure that they were there for their children until Disick entered himself in rehab for his alcohol intake. While he was in rehab, Kardashian made sure her children gave them everything they needed. She has her own investments to get money from to support her little ones.
The former lovers were still doing their reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which included their new partners. The two are still getting the hang of co-parenting and being supportive of their personal relationships, but many are wondering what’s the real deal between the two. Will they kiss and make up or find true love somewhere else?
Kirstie Alley & Parker Stevenson
Kirstie Alley and Parker Stevenson may be polar opposites, but their differences helped them click right from the start. The couple got hitched back in 1983 and adopted two children, William True and Lillie Price. Since both were successful TV stars, they decided to use their investment money to buy three properties. They were also known to indulge from time to time, which also put a dent on their earnings. The two were relatively quiet about their married life until they filed for separation after 13 years of being together.
They agreed to co-parent their children and were given extended time with their adopted children. Though they tried to maintain an amicable relationship, Stevenson revealed after more than a year of being separated that they weren’t friends, but they do talk about their children. It is still not clear if the two have reconciled, but one thing is for sure, their children got the support of their parents.
Kelly Clarkson & Brandon Blackstock
American Idol alum, Kelly Clarkson, tied the knot with her manager’s son, Brandon Blackstock, in an intimate wedding back in 2013. They were the perfect picture of a happy union, especially after the couple had two children between them. Fast forward to today, and the couple is not only separated, but they are still fighting one another in court. Clarkson got primary custody of their children, but to his credit, Blackstock still cares for his little ones, too.
Clarkson cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. When asked what was the main reason for the two to call it quits, Clarkson kept mum for the sake of her children. For now, the two are facing quite a battle in court, but the singer and TV host has been showing a tough exterior. Blackstock hasn’t been open to discussing his previous relationship either. Everyone is watching how their court battle will play out.
Katie Homes & Tom Cruise
Hollywood’s “It Couple” Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were picture-perfect lovers that their fans can’t help but fall in love with. Holmes admitted that she had a crush on the Top Gun actor, so many were thrilled that they became a couple and eventually walked down the aisle. Just like with other Hollywood pairs, their love fizzled out just five years into their marriage. The two have one daughter between them named Suri, and it is Holmes who has full custody.
Though the Interview with the Vampire star had a connection with his daughter when she was young, their relationship was disconnected because of Scientology. Cruise admitted that this was one of the reasons why Holmes left their marriage, and it was because of his religion. Holmes experienced some tough times as a single parent, but she doesn’t have to worry about mortgage since she has a decent net worth too.
Kate Moss & Jefferson Hack
Former model Kate Moss and ex-husband, Dazed Media CEO Jefferson Hack, may not have had a fairytale ending, but they know how to be co-parents to their daughter, Lila Grace. The two remained friends even after they decided that their marriage wasn’t going anywhere. Moss was planning on opening her own clothing line in London to compete with Victoria Beckham’s own fashion, and it seems that her ex-husband remains supportive of her.
The two were spotted together hanging out in casual outfits, and they do seem to have a lot to talk about. Moss wants their daughter to be the face of her brand which, is not a bad idea given that she does look like her mother. The supermodel’s impressive career in the modeling industry has helped her put her investment money into her new business. For sure, she has other projects in mind now that her daughter is all grown up.
Kate Hudson & Chris Robinson
Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson had a volatile love affair that began in 2003, which was the first time they met. The two moved in together after a few days and were married just seven months of being together. Though their married life was tumultuous at the beginning, things settled down when the Almost Famous star gave birth to their son, Ryder. Many thought that the two would be inseparable after, but their marriage lost its momentum until they decided to go their separate ways.
On a good note, the two remained good friends even after they went on their separate ways because of the son that they share together. Ryder, who is now grown up and looking like his mom, has kept the two grounded. To their credit, they did a good job raising their son. Robinson was even friends with all of Hudson’s partners, which speaks of his character and the relationship that the two had before.
Lisa Bonet & Lenny Kravitz
The High Fidelity actress Lisa Bonet and singer-songwriter Lenny Kravitz were married from 1987 to 1993. They have one daughter between them named Zoe, who has followed into her mother’s footsteps and became an actress herself. Zoe was part of the cast of the second installment of the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them franchise and more coming her way. Though Bonet and Kravitz’s relationship did not last long, the two made it a point to co-parent their child.
Bonet is now married to Aquaman star, Jason Momoa, who admitted that he already had a crush on the actress since he was a kid. That fateful night when they first saw one another turned into a romantic relationship that ended with the two tying the knot. In spite of Bonet’s new husband, Kravitz has maintained a close relationship not just with his former family, but also with Momoa. Who would have thought that break ups could be this sweet? Everyone’s investments on their blended family have certainly paid off.
Liam Neeson & Natasha Richardson
The love between the Taken actor Liam Neeson and his wife, fellow actress, Natasha Richardson was one of the strongest in Hollywood and the saddest. Neeson’s wife passed away in a freak accident while the family was skiing during their vacation. The sudden and tragic loss of the Neeson family rocked the actor and his two boys, whom both were greatly loved by their mother. Neeson was left to raise his boys on his own, which was tough given that they were already in their teens.
Fortunately, the couple was able to cultivate strong family bonds between their boys, with the eldest, Micheal, now following in his parents’ footsteps. He is an actor and has even shared the screen with his father in the film Made in Italy. Micheal has changed his last name to Richardson in order to honor his late mother, with whom he was extremely close. To his credit, Neeson has raised his boys well, which his wife is sure to be proud of.
Michael Sheen & Kate Beckinsale
Underworld stars Michael Sheen and Kate Beckinsale were married for seven years before they decided to call it quits. The two have one daughter named Lily, whom both are really close with. You might think that because of the split, the two would be fighting one another for custody, but it seems that they have found a mutual ground that they can enjoy being co-parents to their beautiful daughter.
Sheen has since been in a relationship with Anna Lundberg, with whom he has a daughter named Lyra. Beckinsale married Len Wiseman, a director, but split after eleven years of marriage. The former couple still keeps in touch with one another, especially since the two are in different countries. Though co-parenting from a distance is tough, to their credit, the pair were able to raise their daughter well. Time will tell if we will see their daughter appearing in movies.
Michael Douglas & Diandra Luker
Michael Douglas has established himself as one of Hollywood’s icons. He has quite a long list of films to his name, from Romancing the Stone to Jewel in the Nile to The American President, and everything in between. With regards to his personal life, the Fatal Attraction star was first married to Diandra Luker. They were together for almost two decades before calling it quits. They have one son named Cameron, who has been in a spot of trouble after his parents separated.
Douglas later got married to Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, while Luker dated hedge-fund manager Zach Hampton Bacon III. Luker and Bacon had twins via surrogate and another adopted daughter, but it was the latter that caused the two to split since Bacon did not want to adopt just yet. The former flames were able to reconnect after their son, Cameron, was out of jail, and they are both using their investment money to help him out.
Mel B & Eddie Murphy
The relationship between former Spice Girl Melanie Brown and actor Eddie Murphy made them one of the hottest couple to step out in Hollywood. The singer was reported saying that the comedian was the love of her life after she got pregnant. The two then got married and later had their daughter Angel, but their relationship eventually soured. This led to the couple splitting, with Murphy not having much interaction with his daughter at the start.
However, the Nutty Professor star had come to terms that he was the father of Angel and has since reached out to her. One thing to be said about the comedian is that he made sure that his children will not want for anything. After all, he has ten children to his name now. Perhaps he needs to reach out to a financial adviser on how he can ensure that he has enough funds to raise his growing family.
Mary Lee Harvey & Steve Harvey
Not all Hollywood romances last. A good case in point is the marriage between comedian Steve Harvey and his second wife, Mary Lee Harvey. At first, they were pretty much close to one another and were raising their blended family for 16 years. However, when a third party entered the picture, the couple decided that splitting up was better for everyone. Steve got custody of their biological child, which Mary Lee fought tooth and nail against. However, her husband was awarded full custody.
Steve’s former flame continued to talk about him to the press, which also affected his career in the entertainment industry. The court ordered his ex-wife to cease and desist talking about their ongoing court hearing, but she could not resist. She was arrested and was jailed for a month. Moreover, Steve has already split some of his investments with his wife during their hearing.
Martha & Andrew Stewart
There is such a thing as falling in love at first sight, as Martha and Andrew Stewart are living evidence of that. Andrew met Martha while he, then 23-year-old, was studying law at Yale University. She was known then as Martha Kostyra and was already a professional model. She was working on the side, as she was studying to obtain a degree in European history at architectural history.
The two were set up for a blind date and years later, Martha revealed in an interview with the New York Magazine that she fell in love right away. In July 1961, just after a year of serious dating, the two wedded. The couple had one child together, a daughter they named Alexis, whom they raised in New York. It was unfortunate that the two eventually had to part ways, but we hope that this event did not negatively affect their lovely daughter.
Marie Osmond & Brian Blosil
Marie Osmond and Brian Blosil were together for over twenty years. During that length of time, they raised seven children together. In a recent interview, Osmond disclosed that their two decades together were not really that enjoyable for her. This revelation has sent fans in a frenzy because surely, they would have been happy to last that long.
At the start of their long-married life together, Osmond and Blosil were the hallmarks of happiness. They got married after a very short engagement and had two biological children and five adopted ones together. In the end, these same children advised their mom to get out of the relationship, seeing that she was no longer the happy person she once was. She had bouts of illnesses, which affected her relationship with Blosil. Osmond then followed her children’s suggestion and set the motions for separation through her lawyers.
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon
Once a darling couple of Hollywood, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon seemed to be in it for the long haul. We know that before marrying Cannon, Carrey was married to Tony Mottola, and in between that period, a whole decade was spent on recovering from that marriage. Their separation was somehow amicable, and it was not over ego. According to the Real Husbands of Hollywood alumni, it was really about their loved ones.
The two were able to move on quickly from their breakup, with Cannon welcoming a child with Brittany Bell in 2017. Meanwhile, Carey was confirmed to be dating James Packer in 2015, but later in 2016, Carey moved on to Bryan Tanaka. So how are the kids? The Carey-Cannon twins appear to be shaping up to become celebrities themselves so that we might see a music or film credit in the future for these two.
Marco Garibaldi & Priscilla Presley
The well-loved and famous Elvis Presley was once married to Priscilla Presley. The two, however, called it quits after about six years, but they were able to produce one daughter, Lisa Marie. What most people assume is that the family tree stopped growing right there, but Priscilla actually fell in love again. Filling in the shoes of the King of Rock and Roll was Marco Garibaldi. It would be futile to compare the two relationships, as they are not meant to be compared anyway, but the couple also produced one son, Navarone.
The two were together for 22 years before they decided to go their separate ways. While they never officially married, we could feel and see the degree of love they had for each other. Even Lisa Marie was welcomed into the family and has shared photos of them online. It was also easy to mistake Navarone and Lisa Marie’s own daughter as sisters, as they were born just about two years apart!
Marcia Harvey & Steve Harvey
When the two met at a common friend’s party, Marcia and Steve Harvey immediately hit it off. This was the early years of Harvey’s career, and he was still working as an insurance salesman then. They then ended up getting married in 1980 and had a pair of lovely twins together and later had a son named Broderick. When Steve started getting projects as a comedian and gained recognition, their relationship got a bit rocky.
They worked it out and made commitments to spend more time with watch other, but later on, Steve was accused of giving up his wife and children for the sake of ambition. Whether that was true or not, we can never say. Meanwhile, after they separated, the twins spent a good chunk of their life in Ohio and had remained close to each other. Brandi, in particular, has been active in promoting wellness among women of color.
Maggie Johnson & Clint Eastwood
Rawhide actor Clint Eastwood has had a rather extensive list of women with whom he had a relationship, but the first to capture his heart was Maggie Johnson. He met his future wife Maggie on a blind date back in 1953, and the relationship quickly blossomed. Johnson and Eastwood had two children together, Kyle and Alison. Sadly, after 31 years of being together, Johnson decided to call it quits and initiated the separation process with the help of her lawyers.
Given that they parted ways when their two children were already grownups, there was very little concern about how it would affect them. The two also turned out fine, with Alison becoming a director and actress, while Kyle also followed in the footsteps of his father and became an actor. He is mainly a music artist, however, and has released ten studio albums so far.
