Infidelity in celebrity relationships is like, a total magnet for gossip, right? But getting cheated on is not your fault, theygossip.com reports.
Everyone’s always watching these stars, so when they get betrayed, it’s not just their drama—it’s front-page news for the media and fans.
Fame can seriously mess with people’s heads, making some celebs feel like they deserve special treatment and act out of character.
Plus, being in the spotlight means every little argument or slip-up is on blast for the world to see, which can be super tough.
And let’s be real, the crazy schedules and pressure of being famous can create some serious emotional distance in relationships, sometimes leading to cheating as a way to fill those empty spots.
However, an idea has been stuck in my mind that cheating is never your fault, the responsibility for infidelity lies solely with the person who cheats, not the partner who was betrayed.
Honestly, I think that no matter what problems pop up in a relationship, if someone decides to cheat, that’s totally on them. They gotta make that choice.
Here are some famous examples of celebrity couples who faced cheating, along with the reasons or situations that led to these events.
I aim to show that cheating is often not the fault of the person who was cheated on, but rather the person who cheated.
