4 J-LO: MARRIAGES COME IN TRIOS
The most powerful Latina lady in music has a lot to be proud of. Jennifer Lopez has broken down barriers (and broken a lot of records) with her career. Now aged 48 and still going strong, the mom-of-two was a judge on American Idol and is a symbol of feminine empowerment. That said, J-Lo hasn’t always made the best decisions. First, there was her marriage to Cuban actor, Ojani Noa, in 1997. Like all Hollywood stars, it had the standard one year stamp. Then there was her backup dancer, Cris Judd. Again, one year. Jen lasted 10 years with Marc Anthony, but Jenny From The Block is back in the dating game.
Despite her relationship with A-Rod, Jennifer Lopez has a total of three marriages behind her. “I hung in there for seven years,” she told Elle, regarding her third marriage to Marc Anthony. “But I knew very quickly that it wasn’t the right thing. Musicians are so self-absorbed,” she concluded. Er, isn’t J-Lo a musician?
J-Lo and Marc Anthony did, however, last long enough to bring twins into the world. Max and Emme are now regularly papped with their mom and her current beau, pro-baseball player, A-Rod. Speaking on The Ellen Show, A-Rod said meeting J-Lo was “the luckiest day of my life.” Somehow, “luck” doesn’t seem to be the most fitting word on this list…
5 LARRY KING: 8 MARRIAGES (SERIOUSLY)
Larry King may not be the youngest (or the coolest) celeb on this list, but with eight marriages under his belt, he’s earned his spot here. The legendary TV host started out traditionally, with his high school sweetheart. Larry King and Freda Miller were married for one year in 1952, but five decades later, Larry is still talking all things “marriage.” His string of brides are almost too long to list, so, in a nutshell: One year with Freda, less than a year with Annette Kaye, two years with Playboy bunny, Alene Akins, plus three more.
Larry King tops the most-married list with a total of eight marriages. “Larry is completely embarrassed and anguished by all of this,” a source told People. The 84-year-old TV host has five children from his eight marriages.
Wait, we were halfway through up there. Just one year after divorcing his third wife, Alene, Larry was back walking down the aisle in 1964 with Mickey Sutphin. Pause. Hit. Rewind. In 1968, Larry had a change of heart and re-married Alene, although, they divorced in 1971. Add on production assistant, Sharon Lepore, and businesswoman, Julie Alexander, in 1989, you now have the full Larry King list (in all its failed glory). Larry may be rich, but he’s one weird guy.
6 KATE WINSLET: ONE OSCAR, THREE MARRIAGES
Maybe it was all that time on the set of a sinking ship in the Atlantic. Kate Winslet was nominated for an Academy Award in 1998 movie, Titanic, but this actress brings everyone down with her. The rosy-cheeked starlet keeps a fairly low-profile when it comes to her marriages, but we’ve done our research. Kate has been married a total of three times, although, it doesn’t seem to have damaged her career. Kate’s first marriage was to Jim Threapleton in 1998. In 2003, Kate said “I do” to the famous director, Sam Mendes. Fast-forward to a 2011 vacation where Kate met Ned Rocknroll, and you’ve got her third husband.
“No one really knows what has happened in my life,” Kate told the Wall Street Journal. “No one really knows why my first marriage didn’t last; no one knows why my second didn’t. And I’m proud of those silences.” Um, okay.
Kate definitely likes to keep her private life private, although that doesn’t stop her from marrying into the A-list. Her second husband, Sam Mendes, directed cult movies like American Beauty and James Bond: Skyfall. Kate is currently married to the billionaire, Richard Branson’s nephew, although, she chose a rather humble (and odd) name for their kid. Kate’s child is called Bear. Maybe he can be friends with Apple Martin and North West?
