YikesAll The Celebrity Couples That Were Completely Torn Apart By Cheating Scandals

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson

Kristen and Rob quickly became couple goals after they started dating in 2009. But when rumors hit the web that the Twilight actress had cheated on her beau with married Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, she issued a public apology.

“I’m deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I’ve caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry,” she wrote.

The couple called it quits one year later.

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson

On February 19, 2019, news broke that Tristan had cheated on Khloe with Kylie’s best friend Jordyn. Then, on March 1, 2019, Jordyn finally addressed the allegations when she sat down with Jada Pinkett Smith for a tell-all interview.

“On the way out, he did kiss me,” she said. “No passion, no nothing on the way out. He just kissed me. It was a kiss on the lips. But no tongue kiss. No making out. Nothing.”

That unfortunately wasn’t the first time the basketball star was caught cheating on the reality star. Back in March 2018, the Cleveland Cavaliers player was video taped kissing another woman, just days before their daughter was born. And let us not forget when the world was shook when we found out he cheated on Khloe for a third time in in December 2021. Us Weekly confirmed that Maralee Nichols welcomed a baby whom she claimed was fathered by Tristan.

Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas

Joe and Taylor dated back in 2008, and their messy breakup definitely went down in history. Not only did Taylor reveal during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that the Jonas Brothers singer broke up with her in a 27-second voicemail, but she also later alleged that Joe had left her for Camila.

“They’ve been together since we broke up. That’s why we broke up — because he met her,” the singer said, when asked about Joe’s romance with Camilla. But don’t worry because the two are on good terms now. They’ve both publicly apologized to each other, and have even been spotted hanging out a few times.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

Selena and Justin first started dating back in 2010, and were on and off for almost eight years. Their relationship was definitely a rollercoaster ride — one month they would be spotted packing on the PDA or walking hand-in-hand, and the next they’d be shading each other on social media or in interviews! But fans were pretty shook when Selena’s BFF Taylor Swift seemingly revealed that the singer had cheated on Selena at one point, when she liked a super shady post about it on Tumblr.

During her public feud with Justin and his manager, Scooter Braun, Taylor hit the like button on a post that read, “‘We haven’t gotten to communicate our differences’ — You cheated on her best friend and then publicly sided with the man who made revenge porn against her. Was she supposed to invite you over for tea? F**k outta here.”

Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goulding

Fans practically lost it when Ed and Ellie were spotted holding hands at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. Although the blonde beauty denied the romance at the time, writing in a now-deleted tweet, “I love that holding hands with my friends means we’re an item. In that case I am in many relationships. Lover not a hater,” Ed later revealed that they did indeed have a brief romance.

“I mean, normal people don’t hold hands if they’re just friends,” he said. “It was going on. And now it’s not.”

It’s widely believed that the singer wrote the song “Don’t” about the relationship, and that Ellie ultimately cheated on him with Niall.

“I never intended to be next / But you didn’t need to take him to bed, that’s all / And I never saw him as a threat / Until you disappeared with him to have sex, of course,” the lyrics read. “It’s not like we were both on tour / We were staying on the same f–king hotel floor.”

Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards

Everyone was obsessed with Zayn and Perrie‘s relationship back in the day. But in March 2015, rumors started spreading that Zayn had cheated on the blonde beauty after a photo of him cozying up to a mystery girl hit the web. The “Like I Would” crooner quickly denied the allegations, writing on Twitter, “I’m 22 years old… I love a girl named Perrie Edwards. And there’s a lot of jealous f–ks in this world I’m sorry for what it looks like.”

But in August 2015 — just months after Zayn left One Direction — fans were devastated when he revealed that he had officially called off his engagement to Perrie. The Little Mix singer later alleged that Zayn had cheated on her after all in her song “Shoutout To My Ex.”

Dove Cameron and Ryan McCartan

Once upon a time, Dove and Ryan were the ultimate Disney Channel power couple. But fans of the Liv and Maddie stars know that things weren’t exactly pretty when their relationship ended.

During a Q&A with fans in January 2020, Ryan accused Dove of cheating on him. One of his Instagram followers asked him what his proudest moment was, and he responded, “Within two weeks, my fiancée cheated on and left me [and] I almost died from food poisoning … I truly didn’t think I would be able to make it through that part of my life. I’m proudest of the light that came from the darkness, and my ability to survive and turn the anger and sadness I had into positive life changes and a new way forward.”

After making headlines for his comments, Ryan took to Instagram again, writing, “I have elected to remain silent about my past because I thought it would be the most effective way to leave it where it belongs. I am no longer comfortable watching the events of my life become so darkly misconstrued. I would like to fairly and diplomatically write about this once and finally.”

“I think Dove and I fundamentally agree about our relationship with one another. We were young and immature. Our relationship was dysfunctional. We were a bad match,” he continued. “She has made claims about me and about our past that I don’t think are fair or even true, but she is entitled to her opinion. I have made claims about her and our past that I’m sure she doesn’t think are fair or true, but I am entitled to my opinion. We have individual and conflicting perspectives on the dysfunction of our relationship. That is very normal amongst exes. I wish her nothing but the best. I am grateful for our relationship. I learned what love is by learning what it isn’t. People are allowed to be young and make mistakes. People are allowed to grow up and grow apart.”

The actor explained that despite their rocky past, there are no hard feelings between them now.

“We are not at war with one another. This vortex of repetitive conflict is the result of freely and peacefully sharing our individual perspectives on our past, which is almost always followed by a myriad of social media posts creating a fight where there isn’t one,” he added. “Some of these outlets make their money on ads, clicks and controversy, and if they don’t have a story, they manufacture one. Any claims of lasting or current conflict between me and my previous partner have been methodically manufactured, and are baseless. This paradigm is one that exists all over the social media landscape. It is my hope that consumers of social media will use this as an example to guard themselves against bias and hyperbole, and to increase their social media fluency in an increasingly untruthful world.”

Louis Tomlinson and Eleanor Calder

Louis and Eleanor were together for four years before they reportedly split in March 2015, with reports at the time claiming that their breakup was because of the musician’s hectic work schedule.

“They tried really hard to make it work but it was just impossible – he’s away for nine months a year and they just grew apart,” a source told People Magazine.

But when Louis was spotted kissing another girl days later in Thailand, rumors quickly started spreading that he had cheated on the social media star. He seemingly confirmed these rumors in various songs on his debut solo album, Walls, where he sang about hurting someone he loves.

Niall Horan and Hailee Steinfeld

Rumors first started swirling that the Niall and Hailee were dating back in February 2018, after they were spotted getting pretty cozy at a Backstreet Boys concert. And when they were photographed smooching in August 2018, fans of the couple got all the confirmation that they had been waiting for. But they unfortunately called it quits in December of the same year, and after they went their separate ways, it definitely didn’t seem like they ended on great terms. Why? Well, Hailee seemingly shaded the pop star multiple times on her Instagram Stories, and when she released her song “Wrong Direction” in January 2020, she even alleged that Niall had cheated on her.

“Lookin’ back, I probably should have known / But I just wanted to believe that you were out sleepin’ alone / Loved me with your worst intentions / Didn’t even stop to question,” the lyrics read. “Every time you burned me down / Don’t know how; for a moment it felt like heaven / Loved me with your worst intentions / Painted us a happy ending.”

Tana Mongeau and Brad Sousa

Tana and Brad made things Instagram official back in December of 2018, and after that, they started posting a ton of PDA-filled snaps together. But in April of 2019, Tana revealed that they had split after he she caught him sending another girl some flirty DMs.

“A lot of crazy s**t happened at Coachella, and during it all I wound up finding out a lot of really f**ked up stuff,” Tana revealed in a YouTube video. “I woke up the next day expecting to have, like, a private breakup, and I get online to a bunch of screenshots of girls saying and showing a lot of stuff — some of it fake, some of it not — going really viral about Brad.”

And in a video of his own, Brad confirmed the allegations.

“What happened in her video is true,” he said. “There was a little bit of over-exaggeration to some of it, but what she was going through and what I have done, I mean, I don’t blame her for speaking her mind and her truth and her heart.”

Brad claimed that he never physically cheated on her, but he did admit to sending inappropriate messages to other girls.

“I did Snapchat a few girls from back home and they did send me nudes and I replied,” he continued. “I was drunk, stupid, didn’t realize what was going on. Regardless, I’m an idiot and every single day I wish I could just take back what I did because I really regret answering these stupid, pointless people that gave me absolutely zero percent of what Tana did.”

Noah Cyrus and Lil Xan

Noah and Lil Xan made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards in August 2018. But fans were shocked when they split one month later, and it definitely did not end well. Get this — both stars later accused each other of cheating via their social media accounts.

“I feel like I’m probably being cheated on,” Lil Xan wrote on his Instagram Stories. “I broke up with her because she was all over another dude.”

But Noah shut these rumors down, writing in a post of her own, “The truth is I haven’t seen him in almost a week. Every time we tried to hang out something always got in the way. I then saw a picture of a girl on a court on his story at 2 A.M. When I FaceTimed him later on, I noticed a hickey. He told me it was just a bruise. I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and ignored it. Cheaters like to accuse their partners of cheating to make themselves feel less guilt. This isn’t the first time this has happened to me and now I’m being forced to deal with crazy accusations when I’m not even sure where all this came from.”

“I’ve been there for you during your dark times Diego. When you felt alone and like no one was there for you, I was,” the singer added. “If this was your way of breaking up with me and breaking my heart along with it, then you’ve succeeded.”

Mod Sun and Bella Thorne

Mod Sun seemingly accused Bella of cheating on him during an appearance on The Domenick Nati Show.

“I sure as hell was [faithful],” the 32-year-old star said in the interview. “I’m not going to speak for her. You already saw that she be with someone the next day so you know how my head gonna head gonna be after I see that, right? You know what I’m going to be thinking. You can put those two together. But me? I got no reason to look at another girl for two years. I’m not even kidding. I didn’t even look at another girl and I’m still f**ked because I still think Bella is the hottest girl in the whole entire world so I don’t even know what the hell I’m gonna do.”

Luke Hemmings and Arzaylea Rodriguez

Luke and Arzaylea first went public with their love in October 2015. But after two years together, the two stars called it quits in 2017. At the time of their split, rumors surfaced that Arzaylea had been cheating on Luke with singer, Blackbear, due to some steamy photos that made their way around the web. Neither of them have addressed the speculation.

Charli D’Amelio and Chase Hudson

Chase Hudson was accused of cheating on Charli D’Amelio in March 2020, just two months after they were speculated to be dating. Josh Richards‘ diss track called “Still Softish,” on March 20, sparked the cheating rumors as it accused Chase of infidelity.

The two had a public split in April 2020, but relationship rumors swirled between the duo shortly after. Fast forward to July 2020, Charli accused Chase of cheating on her in August 2020 on Twitter. Then, Charli spoke out and wrote, “I hope she was worth it,” in a since-deleted tweet.

In response, Chase took to his own social media and in a since-deleted post, he added, “All of this drama is going on because I kissed Nessa [Barrett] when we were both single.” Charli quote-tweeted his post about the kiss and added, “Then you shouldn’t have come to my house after without telling me.”

Then, the entire internet was shook after Chase posted a since-deleted photo from his notes app that seemingly called out his friends and other influencers for their alleged infidelities. Charli then called him out via Twitter and said, “Stop deflecting your actions onto others because you can’t take responsibility chase. Want me to talk about how you treated me throughout our relationship or do you just want to continue to play the victim?” Yikes!

On July 8, 2020, Charli took to Instagram and in a livestream told fans that her and Chase had a “very long talk” and realized that they weren’t right for each other. The couple would stay in an on and off relationship up until late 2021. Charli is currently dating Chase’s friend, Landon Barker.
