Who: Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson
How long were they together? Since August 2016 when they were seen canoodling at A.’s Bootsy Bellows nightclub. Their official coming-out-as-a-couple moment was the next month at Flo Rida’s birthday bash.
When did the cheating occur? In April of 2018, Tristan Thompson was reportedly seen kissing another woman at a New York City nightclub. Khloe Kardashian was nine months pregnant at the time. Then, TMZ released video they obtained of Thompson kissing not one, but two other women at a D.C. nightclub in October of 2017.
Aftermath: Kardashian welcomed a baby girl, True, on April 12 at a hospital in Cleveland, merely days after the cheating story broke. Things were rough for a while, but Kardashian took back Thompson, and the two have been raising baby True ever since. Rumors are even flying that Kardashian and Thompson are trying for baby number two.
Who: Cardi B and Offset
How long were they together? Since February 2017… Cardi B and the rapper’s first date was Super Bowl LI. They got engaged in October 2017, revealed in mid-2018 that they were expecting their first child together (a girl), and married in September of 2018.
When did the cheating occur? The first headlines that Offset was cheating arrived in December of 2017 when a video of the rapper in bed with two women emerged. Cardi B took it in stride and generally moved on, stating that she wanted to work things out “with my man.” Yet now that news has slowly, but surely, emerged in early December 2018 that rapper Offset was seen cheating on Cardi B with two women—Cuban Doll and Summer Bunni. The latter took to social media and posted a video, claiming that “I never meant to break up a happy home.” Quick question: Then why sleep with a married man?
Aftermath: On December 5, 2018, Cardi B announced on Instagram that they had split up. “Things just haven’t been working out between us for a long time,” she said on the social media post. There is only so much cheating one person can handle.
Who: Olivia Culpo and Danny Amendola
How long were they together? Since early 2016
When did the cheating occur? Late October 2018
Aftermath: The former Miss Universe, Olivia Culpo, and the Miami Dolphins wide receiver, Danny Amendola, were cruising in a relationship that seemed to be pure bliss. Culpo had successfully moved on from Nick Jonas and many believed she had found love with Amendola. Think again. While she was away, the Miami Dolphins player was seen in Miami Beach with sports reporter Bianca Peters, not even trying to hide it. RadarOnline.com Online ran exclusive details of the tryst back in October, and needless to say, Culpo has dumped the NFL pro.
Who: Sean “Diddy” Combs and Cassie
How long were they together? Since 2007
When did the cheating occur? Sean "Diddy" Combs and Cassie had been together for 11 years when rumors surfaced that the rapper/mogul was seen in Miami and LA with model Jocelyn Chew.
Aftermath: It is likely not a coincidence that Cassie announced their split merely weeks before the affair with Chew went public.
Who: Noah Cyrus and Lil Xan
How long where they together? Since July 2018
When did the cheating occur? September 2018
Aftermath: Noah Cyrus and Lil Xan made a record together, “Live or Die,” and quickly realized that they made beautiful music together romantically. The short-lived romance unraveled as quickly as it escalated. Cyrus learned that her rapper boyfriend had cheated on her and she immediately ended it. She wrote on Instagram, “Cheaters like to accuse their partners of cheating to make themselves feel less guilt.” Perhaps it was doomed from the beginning as Lil Xan shot back on the social media platform with a pic of Cyrus with her arms draped around another dude.
Who: Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus
How long were they together? Just over a year, since April of 2017… at least publicly. Sources familiar with the pair claim that they had actually “been spending time together” for three years.
When did the cheating occur? Ben Affleck had not officially finalized his divorce with Jennifer Garner when he went public with SNL producer Lindsay Shookus. The two gelled immediately and it appeared to be just what the Oscar winner needed in the romance department. On August 16, 2018, Affleck was spotted with Playboy playmate Shauna Sexton at Nobu in Malibu.
Aftermath: Some say that Shookus and Affleck were on the outs when he went out with the Playboy bunny. Even if they weren’t, the end was solidified when news broke about Affleck and Sexton.
Who: Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima
How long where they together? May 2017 through August 7, 2018
When did the cheating occur? The 14-years-younger Younes Bendjima had quite the catch in Kourtney Kardashian. Apparently, Bendjima needed more because he was caught getting cozy in Mexico with Jordan Ozuna on August 7.
Aftermath: Who needs a girlfriend worth millions upon millions or the spotlight that comes with dating a Kardashian (just ask French Montana about that!)? Proud as she is, Kardashian dumped the former boxer and aspiring model immediately upon seeing the pics of Ozuna and her boy toy together.
Who: Staci Nelson and Evan Felker
How long were they together? Barely two years.
When did the cheating occur? It’s not exactly clear, but Evan Felker started seeing Miranda Lambert earlier in 2018, and at one point over the summer, didn’t even try to hide it while their picture was being taken as the two were at a bar—and he was still married to Staci Nelson.
Aftermath: Nelson divorced Felker, even going on a ladies-only retreat on what would have been her second anniversary to The Turnpike Troubadours singer. In a move that should surprise no one, Lambert and Felker aren’t even together anymore. Felker even dropped out of the opening slot on Lambert’s tour, citing kidney stones.
Who: T.I. and Tiny
How long were they together? Since 2001, but married since 2010
When did the cheating occur? According to Tiny, T.I. has never truly been faithful. The proof that her rapper husband had strayed arrived in June of 2018 when video surfaced of T.I. slapping Green Leaf star Asia’h Epperson’s behind and fondling her breasts.
Aftermath: Tiny has been meeting with divorce lawyers but has yet to do anything about it. As their show, T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle, came back for their latest season in October, the duo were seen talking about the cheating allegations. As of 2018, the couple is still together.
Who: Scott Disick and Sofia Richie
How long were they together? Since May 2017
When did the cheating occur? Late May at a listening party for Kanye West in Wyoming.
Aftermath: Sofia Richie had enough with rumors flying that her womanizing boyfriend had strayed… again. Scott Disick has made headlines surrounding his inability to stay faithful for years (dating back to his time with Kourtney Kardashian). Enough was enough, and Richie kicked him to the curb. However, the pair are back together currently.
Who: Alex Pall and Tori Woodward
How long were they together? Four years.
When did the cheating occur? January 2018
Aftermath: Chainsmokers’ Alex Pall probably thought he had gotten away with cheating on his girlfriend at the time, Tori Woodward. Problem was, surveillance video surfaced of him making out with model Katelyn Byrd. Pall claimed it was a one-night-only type of deal, but then he was seen hooking up with Byrd again at a Dior party later that week. Needless to say, Woodward has dumped the musician.
