Celebrity Ex-Husbands And Ex-Wives: Where Are They Now?

Cindy Costner & Kevin Costner

Kevin Costner still remains to be one of the biggest names in Hollywood ever since his career beginnings in 1974. He has earned numerous acting credits in various films, including Dances with Wolves, Waterworld, and Field of Dreams. Along with his bountiful career is a long list of romantic relationships that he had over the years. However, before he became the actor we all love today. While working on his college degree, he was dating Cindy Silva.

After his graduation, the couple tied the knot and Costner went on to pursue his dream acting career. Together, they share three children together, namely Joseph, Anne, and Lily. During the height of his career, the couple managed to keep their personal life away from public view. Sadly, their marriage of 16 years came to an amicable end in 1994. After their separation, the two have been living their individual lives. Costner has been married to Christine Baumgartner since 2004.

Mel B & Eddie Murphy

He was one of the most defining comedians of the ’80s for his work on Saturday Night Live and his original style of stand-up comedy. She was a part of a musical group that revolutionized and defined a generation with their rallying vows to bring ‘Girl Power’ to the forefront of the spotlight. Melanie ‘Scary Spice’ Brown and Eddie Murphy are two well-credited public icons from the last four decades, yet the two share a lot more than we realize. Murphy and Brown dated for about a year in the mid-aughts and have a kid together, but they’ve kept the facts of their relationship under wraps.

Brown has only positive things to say about her ex-fiancé, suggesting that she is determined to change the public’s perception of her brief relationship with Murphy. She has repeatedly stated in interviews how meaningful their brief romance was, despite what fans may believe.

Jacqueline Ray & Tom Selleck

Tom Selleck currently stars in the CBS series Blue Bloods. He rose to a high degree of fame in the ’80s thanks to his starring role on Magnum, P.I. He was at the end of his first marriage when the show launched him into stardom, but he later remarried and began a new chapter in his life. While Tom has been happily married to Jillie Mack since 1987, he was once married to model and actress Jacqueline Ray.

Tom and Jacqueline used to be a Hollywood power couple. Their relationship, however, was not meant to last. After tying the knot in 1971, the former couple decided to break up in 1982. Selleck adopted Ray’s son when they were together, and he continues to be a father figure to him. As for Jacqueline, she is currently serving an 18-year prison term. Although their marriage did not last, the actor most likely matured before meeting Jillie, who has held his heart ever since.

Mary Lee Harvey & Steve Harvey

Being a celebrity wife is difficult, but being a celebrity ex-wife is even more difficult, especially for Mary Lee Harvey, who was married to Steve Harvey for a long time. Several well-credited marriages have ended in breakups. Sometimes the breakup is amicable, and the relationship survives, but more often than not, the split is not a bouquet of roses. Steve Harvey’s divorces are no exception, particularly his breakup with Mary Lee.

In 1989, Mary Lee met Steve while still working as a stand-up comedian in Arlington, Texas. The former couple hit it off right away and fell in love at first sight and eventually getting married in 1996. The pair were together for a while and were blessed with a son by the name of Wynton in 1997. Like any marriage, their relationship had issues, and despite staying together for a long time, they filed for separation in 2005. Although Steve and Marjorie Harvey’s separation was difficult, it was the best decision they could have made.

Maggie Johnson & Clint Eastwood

Clinton Eastwood is a film director, composer, and producer who has worked in various credit roles. He soared to international recognition with his roles as the Man with No Name in Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy of Spaghetti Westerns in the mid-1960s and as antihero cop Harry Callahan in the five Dirty Harry films in the 1970s and 1980s, after finding acclaim in the Western TV series Rawhide. Eastwood has become a cultural icon of masculinity as a result of these and other roles, and winning four Academy Awards, four Golden Globe Awards, three César Awards, and an AFI Life Achievement Award.

Eastwood has been married twice in his 90 years, but he is also known for his countless affairs, some of which have resulted in children whose mothers are unknown to the world. Maggie Johnson was his first wife, whom he met on a blind date in 1953 and married six months later. They are the parents of two children. Maggie started the separation process in 1978, and it was finalized in 1984.

Catherine Bell & Adam Beason

These love birds first met on the set of the 1992 blockbuster hit, Death Becomes Her. At the time, Catherine Bell was the body double of Isabella Rosellini. Adam Beason, on the other hand, was the production assistant of the film. It was love at first sight for them, thus, the beginning of a sweet romantic relationship. After two whole years of dating, they eventually tied the knot on May 8, 1994.

Their union gave birth to two wonderful children, Ronan and Gemma. They used to live in one of their several property investments, a 5,700-square-foot Tuscan-style mansion in Calabasas as a happy family. However, Catherine needed to be true to herself. Turns out, she is a lesbian, which means that her relationship with Adam had to end, and it did in 2011. A year after their split, Catherine moved in with her newfound flame, Brooke Daniells.

Greg Allman & Cher

Allman Brothers leader, Greg Allman, had a tumultuous relationship with Cher. The two got married in 1975, just three days after Cher’s split with her first husband, Sonny Bono, was finalized. A lot were surprised that the two got hitched, but what was even more surprising was the fact that nine days into their marriage, Cher wanted to dissolve it. One reason behind this was Allman’s alcohol and drug use. Fortunately, Allman sobered up really quickly and was able to win Cher back after a month.

In 1976, Allman filed for separation but turned around after learning that his wife was pregnant. However, their marriage was later dissolved because of issues between the couple. Afterward, Cher found love in the arms of Gene Simmons while Allman had gone his way. Whatever investments the two had for each other did not translate into friendship.

Kirstie Alley & Parker Stevenson

Kirstie Alley gained a degree in interior design, but things changed after she appeared on the famous shows Match Game and Password Plus. Following that, she appeared in several other films like Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and television shows like Cheers. She was once married to teen heartthrob Parker Stevenson, a fellow actor and cast member of The Hardy Boys. Even though Alley said she would have left her husband for Patrick Swayze during that period, the couple was married for 14 years. However, Kirstie and Parker’s love did not last long, and they decided to go their separate ways back in 1997.

Although their relationship wasn’t always ideal, they now have a good co-parenting relationship for the sake of their children. Stevenson married chef Lisa Schoen almost ten years after their split. As for Alley, her career had already begun to slow down before the birth of her grandson, so it’s only natural that she will see this as an opportunity to spend more time with her growing family.

Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux

Before meeting Justin Theroux, Jennifer Aniston was tied to Brad Pitt. The former power couple got married after two years of dating in July 2000. The union seemed unbreakable, but in early 2005, the two announced the end of their marriage, which certainly saddened and shocked their fans. Later, she dated John Mayer from 2008 to 2009. A few years later, news flocked after Aniston was reportedly dating Theroux. By January 2012, the two purchased a breathtaking estate for over $20 million in Bel-Air with no mortgage loans involved. In August, the same year, they got engaged and eventually tied the knot in August 2015.

However, the two called it quits, which was only two years after the wedding. As a bankable actress, Aniston landed several projects like Mother’s Day and Storks, both released in 2016. These films probably helped her forget yet another failed marriage. Theroux, on the other hand, might have drunk a couple of bottles and then got back to the dating game again. He was in a relationship with another Emmy-award-winning actress, Emma Stone, in 2018.

Diana Douglas & Kirk Douglas

Diana Douglas met Kirk Douglas while they were both studying at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Since then, she has made a name for herself in Hollywood both on film and on TV with films like Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and TV shows like The West Wing. Kirk was serving in the army back then, but the two married in 1943 but separated in 1951.

On a good note, their separation was an amicable one, and they were both supportive of one another. They even appeared in films together, which showed how they were on good terms. They married other people after and raised a family on their own, but their love for one another remains. Thanks to their success in Hollywood, they did not have to worry about personal loans since they have saved up quite a sum.

Dennis Rodman & Michelle Moyer

NBA legend Dennis Rodman is no stranger to shaky romantic relationships. The one he shared with Michelle Moyer was one of them. They first met at a bar in 1999 and dated afterward. A year later, their first son, Dennis Jr., was born and was followed by a daughter named Trinity the following year. The couple officially tied the knot in May of 2003. However, after a year of being married, Moyer filed for separation from Rodman. While they tried to reconcile, Moyer re-filed in 2012 and successfully parted ways with Rodman. Moyer, through her lawyer, demanded that Rodman pay her $808,935 in child support, with an additional $51,441 in alimony.

Currently, both Rodman and Moyer are single. Despite their rocky relationship, their children still managed to grow up well. Both Trinity and Dennis Jr. are athletes, with Trinity being a soccer player while Dennis Jr. a basketball player. It seems that despite their falling out, both Rodman and Moyer remain to be loving parents to their children.
