8. Hillary and Bill Clinton

When Love Began: Former President Bill Clinton and president hopeful Hillary Clinton were both in law school at Yale when they locked eyes.

But she conveyed a sense of strength and self-possession I had rarely seen in anyone, man or woman."

Who Cheated: The Clintons are used to being in the public eye discussing political and global issues. But nobody could forget the TV sitcom-worthy scandal that they faced while Bill was in office in the mid 1990s that revolved around a stained blue dress. The White House was never the same after allegations that the president was having an affair with his 22 year-old intern Monica Lewinsky hit Washington.

How They Dealt With It: Bill infamously denied these allegations proclaiming he "did not have sexual relations with that woman" and Hillary supported her man, but America wanted answers. Lewinsky's meeting with prosecutors and her bodily fluid stained dress ultimately led to his impeachment for perjury and obstruction of justice.

My friends just rallied around."
