Celebrity Couples Who Stayed Together After Cheating Scandals

Everyone has a different attitude when it comes to cheating. For some, it’s a dealbreaker, no further questions asked. For others, circumstance is everything. At the end of the day, the only people who know what’s going on in a relationship are the people in it — but that hasn’t made us any less curious about A-list cheating scandals over the years.

Many of our favorite couples have gone through rumors of infidelity (or confirmed infidelity) and come out the other side unscathed, often saying it’s made their partnership stronger. From Beyoncé and Jay-Z to Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo, many celebrity couples have survived cheating scandals, and their comments to the public have given insight into how they found their way back.

In 2024, Goldie Hawn’s son Oliver Hudson opened up about his experience with infidelity, revealing that he and his wife managed to repair their relationship after he cheated on her before their 2006 wedding. But Hudson and Erinn Bartlett aren’t the only celebrity couple to survive cheating!

Talking to David Letterman in 2018, Jay-Z opened up about the work he and Beyoncé put into fixing their marriage after his infidelity. “I have a beautiful wife who was understanding and who knew I’m not the worst of what I’ve done,” he said. “We did the hard work of going to therapy. We love each other, so we really put in the work for years.”

We’re always in favor of couples doing this kind of hard work confronting their problems and upping their communication skills — a lesson any couple could learn from.

Read on for celebrity couples who are still together and better than ever after a cheating scandal.

Erinn Bartlett & Oliver Hudson

During an April 2024 episode of his Sibling Revelry podcast, actor Oliver Hudson admited that he cheated on his now-wife, Rumor Has It star Erinn Bartlett shortly before their 2006 wedding.

“When I got engaged, something happened psychologically, and I spiraled, and I was unfaithful, and I was cheating, and I was crazy,” he told guest Robyn Lively. “I told her everything because I couldn’t live with myself and get married and be married and have children with this sort of weight.”

The Rules of Engagement star, who went on to welcome three children with Bartlett, says he has tried to not live with regret over the infidelity.

“I’m not sure I have many regrets because if I didn’t, it was a choice that I made, whether it was a positive one or a negative one. Which I’ve made some horrible, horrible choices in my life just generally,” Hudson said. “You would think I regret doing that, but I don’t know where or who I would be if I didn’t make that choice.”

Sebastian Lletget & Becky G

Singer Becky G and her soccer star fiancé Sebastian Lletget are back together despite calling off their engagement in March 2023 after Lletget seemingly admitting to cheating on Becky, who he had been with since 2016.

“Over the last few weeks, during a moment I regret deeply, a 10-minute lapse in judgment resulted in an extortion plot,” the soccer player wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post. He shared the upload not long after an Instagram user claimed to have video, audio and text proof that Lletget had been unfaithful to Becky G (full name Becky Gomez) with another woman at a Madrid club in 2022.”
