You have to embrace it for everything that it is.”

The ladies’ relationship is what really gave Holmes the edge she needed against her ex-husband, because she ultimately gained everything she hoped for in their rapid one-week settlement.

By now, we’ve all read the tabloids or heard the news that Tom’s obsession with Scientology was a huge factor in their divorce (source), but how important is religion to a marriage?

Nothing in Hollywood is juicer than a celebrity scandal. Many Hollywood couples work through humiliating experiences while dating, including Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush, who went through a sex tape scandal; Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, who recently dealt with Bieber’s accusation of getting a fan pregnant; and Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, who had to deal with negative press on Cyrus’ sexual antics.
Many of us can relate to similar problems on a smaller scale, but it can still be exhilarating and deeply saddening to watch our favorite famous relationships let us down in these ways. Sometimes, celebrity couples even begin their love lives under this sort of scrutiny. Although not all celebrity affairs work out, some blossom into long-lasting relationships and love. Here are six famous couples that made the headlines with their scandalous splits, affairs, and ensuing sprint to the altar.
