Michael Douglas & Diandra Luker

Luker met Douglas while promoting his picture One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. Then 19 years old, Luker had no idea who Douglas was, but they struck up a conversation that led to two days of being together and a marriage proposal only two weeks later. They married in March 1977 and welcomed Cameron, their only child, the following year. While the specific cause of their breakup is unknown, credits to the 1995 statement by People magazine, stated in 1995 that Douglas’ substance usage and infertility had damaged their relationship. However, despite Douglas’ harsh statements, the ex-couples appear to have maintained a close connection and have both gone on and had children with other people.

Then, credits to her website, she married him in 1961, wearing a dress she’d made herself, making herself a lifestyle tycoon. Andrew Stewart, her then 26-year-old husband, was the publisher. This year marks the four-decade anniversary of their separation, being separated for longer than they’ve been married.
The two were put up on a blind date when they first met, and Martha told New York Magazine years later that the soon-to-be celebrity couple “fell in love the first date, that type of thing.” They married a year later, in July 1961. Martha and Andrew’s first apartment as newlyweds was at the 21st-floor Upper East Side penthouse. Before eventually separating in 1990, they were married for 29 years and had one child, Alexis Stewart.

For the first time in years, some people started to reflect on their marriage, which lasted from 1986 to 2007 and seemed to endure forever.
Blosil and Osmond reportedly met at the Jordan River Temple in Utah, where they shared their Mormon faith. They married less than a year after meeting and immediately started having children. Then, after 20 years, they split up, and Osmond did not mince words about why. In addition to having Rachael and Matthew Blosil biologically, the two adopted five children: Jessica, Michael, Brandon, Brianna, and Abigail. Many fans still consider Osmond to be a super-mom.

Over the years, there have been suspicions that Cannon has been disloyal to Carey and that he is always working and away from his family too much. However, the actor denied cheating and stated that the reason for their breakup was because they were no longer progressing as a pair. Despite their separation, Cannon and Carey have remained friends. Cannon said to a credited source that he and his ex-wife can co-parent so well as they have always prioritized their twins. “When you put your children first, you understand that it is all unconditional love,” he explained, adding, “All of the other stuff just falls apart.”

Despite their separation, she and Elvis remained close friends, with the King of Rock once stated that despite their breakup, they’re the best of friends and made a commitment that they would always remain as friends.

They had three children: twin daughters Karli and Brandi, born in 1982, and Broderick Harvey Jr., born in April 1991. After Steve became well-known as a stand-up comedian, his marriage to Marcia became quite unstable.

In addition, the rock musician and Bonet’s current spouse, Aquaman actor Jason Momoa, have forged a close connection.

Bonet was already a legitimate sensation when she met Kravitz, thanks to her portrayal as Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show. Initially, the two were merely housemates and friends. However, they eventually became romantically involved, eloping in 1987 and welcoming their daughter, Zo, in December 1988.
