Celebs who don’t leave cheating partners

[Soundsgoodtome]

Do you think it’s unusual that partners of cheating celebs stay with them .. even when they know that the cheating has happened and is public knowledge and they are celebs in their own right, either by their work or by association . I find it hard to understand . I can only think of una Healy off hand who left her husband immediately when she learned of his infidelity . I know that for a lot of us , money and children , are a reason to stay but for some , there are no children involved and money is not an issue ?

I was raised a Catholic - convent school, the lot - and don't encounter the kind of attitudes you describe among my contemporaries at all.

Obviously none of us knows Colleen, but given how common it is for the non-celebrity spouses of famous men to stick with them no matter how frequently and publically they cheat, I doubt it has much to do with Catholicism.

My ex is famous, personally I doubt there are many celebrity relationships that don’t involve cheating/open relationships, especially where one of the couple tours, goes away for long periods etc.

I think the Rooneys lead separate lives. CR is always on holiday, with the children and her parents. Speaking of which, I love to know what her parents really think of him!

I'd say that's probably true, though I'd say it's likely that one of the 'rules' in such relationships is that any extracurricular activities are discreet and don't attract the attention of the press. Wayne is probably too dumb for that.

Yes that would be sensible, but no, he doesn’t seem like he would have the intelligence to keep it on the down low.

Aren't we bored of piling on Colleen yet?

The life of wondering who he's shagging next wouldn't be for me, but I do think that for the likes of Wayne Rooney, being plunged in to a world where money is flying everywhere and the world is falling at his feet must make it very difficult for celebrities of that ilk to have normal relationships and lives.

I guess you could say the same for a lot of these multi-millionaires with huge fan bases really - perhaps the wives have just accepted that their lives are in no way 'normal' and it kind of comes with the territory?

What about the husbands of famous women? Do they just shrug and accept it when their wives cheat on them regularly? I doubt it.

Is this about Kate Middleton?

It seems to matter more to some men for some reason. Maybe those who view their wives as possessions?

I'm not sure that it matters more to men - I honestly think that very very few women are happy with their men cheating on them, even if they say they don't mind. But to some extent women are still raised to think that any man will cheat if he gets the chance, so it's not realistic to expect them to be faithful. Whereas most men still consider absolute fidelity to be their right, even if they don't consider themselves to be bound by similar rules.

I think IcedPurple has nailed it.

I think that’s basically what I said.

IcedPurple but do these famous women cheat?

I'm sure at least some of them do. Just as I'm sure that at least some famous men don't. But as has been mentioned above, women tend to be a lot more discreet when it comes to cheating, probably because we are judged so much more harshly.

Now now... but if it was then I'd say there's one woman who definitely wouldn't leave as she'd be worse off!

How do we know Coleen doesn't have a very attractive pool cleaner, driver or tennis coach 😉

Didn't colin firth's wife cheat and he stayed with her?

I think there is a difference between relationships where cheating happened once and where it is a repeated event
The motivation for staying or going isn't the same. In a one off, where the cheater is truly remorseful I think it would be possible to maintain the love and the relationship. But if someone was constantly doing it and didn't care about the public humiliation of their spouse, staying might be more about protecting lifestyle or brand.

I think with very long relationships like The Rooneys it feels unthinkable to leave. They’ve been together since they were teenagers and their entire lives are entwined from a very young age. It would be like cutting off a close blood family member - a very hard thing to do. She’s clearly never been with anyone else and has four children with him. I don’t judge her at all.

I think some women just want a husband for the status and money he can give them. They don’t want to be independent or to be a single parent. They want someone who will provide for them. They’re not going to leave because that’s not what they want, even if the relationship isn’t working romantically.

I find it hard to understand as I’m the opposite, I leave at the first opportunity. I suppose it’s not necessarily harmful to stay in a bad relationship. My parents though had a very unhappy relationship but stayed as it was too much upheaval to stay until my df had an affair and he left. I think the leaving was less difficult for us kids than the previous bad relationship.

I don’t get why people say that the partners overlook the indiscretions of their celeb partners due to being “well-compensated” when they’re married.

Surely the cheated-on partner would be able to get very nice divorce deal that would set them up in luxury for life!

Not if you're someone like the Duchess of Cambridge. She'd end up like her late mother-in-law, not being able to spend Christmas etc with her children. I don't think anything financial could compensate for that.

I agree about Mark Owen, what a dog. He still seems to have the nice guy image though.

True - but I think some women (and some men - but it's generally considered more acceptable for women to derive their status from marriage than the reverse) like the 'prestige' of being married to a rich and/or famous man. Yes, they would do well financially from a divorce deal, but would they get the invites to the Oscars, the chance to meet celebrities, the public interest? Probably not.

Of course I'm not suggesting that all or even most spouses of famous people are in it for the above. But I don't think there's any doubting that some of them are.
