Some Hollywood love stories start with a little controversy, but that doesn’t stop them from turning into loving memories. And if this list is anything to go by, many celebrity mistresses have gone on to become Mrs. From Angelina Jolie to Debra Messing, these stories prove that relationships in the spotlight can take unexpected turns. But not all Hollywood couples start with scandal, and some have been together for decades, standing the test of time. Want to know which couples had a controversial start and which among them have had the longest-lasting love? Keep reading as we reveal it all!
Melanie Griffiths
Melanie Griffith’s love life has always been a Hollywood headline. In the 1980s, however, she was involved in a pretty high-profile romance with her Two Much co-star, actor Antonio Banderas. The catch? They were both still married. The chemistry between lovebirds Melanie and Antonio was undeniable, and their relationship quickly turned serious. Both divorced their current spouses and in 1996, they walked down the aisle, officially becoming husband and wife.
Their love story had its ups and downs over the years, with many considering them one of Hollywood’s golden couples. Sadly, their marriage lasted just less than 20 years, with the couple divorcing in 2014. Let’s hope it was amicable.
Britney Spears
Britney Spears has had her fair share of love stories in the spotlight. At one point, she found herself in a relationship with her backup dancer Kevin Federline – while he was still engaged to someone else, and they were expecting their second child. The romance caused plenty of drama, but Britney was head over heels, and the couple tied the knot in 2004. Their marriage, which lasted only three years, was a mix of love and chaos, causing a media frenzy that made them one of the most talked-about couples of the time.
While their marriage didn’t last as long as they both hoped, Britney and Kevin welcomed two sons together, and they remained connected by co-parenting Sean Preston and Jayden James.
