The issue of marital infidelity is indeed quite complex, isn’t it? Some are convinced that turning a blind eye to such behavior is unacceptable. However, as in any debate, there are those who are willing to pardon their unfaithful partners. Today, in our material, we feature famous women who forgave their husbands’ affairs and even supported them at times when the public was outraged.
Forgave the affair: Victoria Beckham
It seems that when it comes to women who forgave their husbands’ affairs, Victoria Beckham should be mentioned first. Ironically, the former member of the Spice Girls and football star are considered one of the strongest celebrity couples. After all, as you know, they have been together for over 20 years now. However, this doesn’t stop journalists from continuing their hunt for information about David Beckham’s escapades on the side.
One of the most prominent such adventures could be the affair of the athlete with his personal assistant, Rebecca Loos, in Madrid. It may seem that this story happened back in 2004. However, some details resurface even today. Nevertheless, no sooner did talks about Rebecca subside than model Sarah Marbeck appeared on the horizon. By the way, the Australian herself revealed to the tabloids about her relationship with Beckham.
Irma Nici, Catherine Jenkins, and even Lady Mary Charteris. It seems like every other woman in the world wants to lure the football legend into bed. Meanwhile, Victoria herself tries not to react publicly to either affairs or, even less so, speculation. Moreover, every time journalists wrote about the impending divorce of the couple, another heir of the spouses was born. Coincidence?
Beyoncé
A similar story can be traced in the relationship between Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Today, the singer and rapper appear to be exemplary parents and a beautiful couple. But it hasn’t always been this way. Problems in their romance began in 2005 when the music producer started collaborating with Rihanna. Their joint appearances in public were perceived by the public not as professional relations. Only later were such speculations refuted and these rumors forgotten like a bad dream. But they were not the only ones.
By 2014, Jay-Z was already praising Rita Ora’s talents in one of his interviews. To nip all the rumors in the bud, Beyoncé had to grant HBO exclusive rights to broadcast a documentary film about the happy family life of the Carters. However, just two years later, the singer released the song «Sorry,» in which she unmistakably hinted at her husband’s infidelity.
A year later, the rapper found the strength to admit his mistake and even repent for his actions. However, Beyoncé never dared to take up the executioner’s tool. On the contrary, the singer not only forgave her husband but also bore twins for him. And, apparently, it was these babies who were able to finally put everything in its place.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Interestingly, Sarah Jessica Parker also belongs to the women who forgave their spouse’s infidelity. Moreover, as in Beyoncé’s story, children played a significant role. However, the actress was quite seriously considering divorce. It’s not surprising, considering she learned about Matthew Broderick’s escapades from the latest issue of Star magazine.
Undoubtedly, initially, the celebrity thought it was just another fantasy of the tabloid editors. Alas, the material was accompanied by photographs of the man’s meeting with a 25-year-old waitress. Somehow, Broderick managed to not only elicit forgiveness but also the birth of another heir. In 2009, a surrogate mother gave the couple twin girls, who clearly helped Sarah and Matthew forget about the scandal.
Gisele Bündchen
Yes, that’s indeed the case. In fact, outer attractiveness and career success are not a guarantee of loyalty from one’s partner. In the fall of 2015, Kristin Ouzounian, known as the woman who contributed to the breakup between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, began actively communicating with the model’s husband.
In no time, rumors of the American football star’s infidelity reached Gisele. The model, without beating around the bush, immediately threatened her negligent husband with divorce. He, not intending to exchange a model for a nanny, promptly severed all ties with Ouzounian. Only a few months passed, and Bundchen even shared a sweet joint photo with her husband on social media. Unfortunately, in the fall of 2022, the Victoria’s Secret model did file for divorce after 13 years of marriage.
