Celebrity break-ups and divorces are a dime a dozen in Hollywood. We regularly see famous people jump from relationship to relationship, or even from marriage to marriage. With this in mind one can’t help but seem doubtful that a celebrity couple can go the distance, and if ever a couple makes it past the 10-year mark we almost find ourselves gasping in surprise.

Someone else who may be left gasping in surprise are the men on the list below. Although even they themselves may not expect their relationships to last forever, we assume some of them were still very surprised to see that their ex-partners had moved on with other women. This definitely creates quite a messy love triangle. Take a look at our list to see just which celebrities we are talking about.

15. Meredith Baxter

Meredith Baxter was married three times before she admitted her true sexuality to the world. The Family Ties actress embarked on her first marriage to Robert Lewis Bush in 1966 but the pair divorced only three years later.

After her final divorce in 2000, Baxter embarked on her first same sex relationship in 2002. In 2005 the actress began her second female relationship with Nancy Locke, whom she is now married to. The actress once said: “I got involved with someone I never expected to get involved with, and it was that kind of awakening," she said. "I never fought it because it was like, 'Oh, I understand why I had the issues I had early in life.' I had a great deal of difficulty connecting with men in relationships."

14. Cynthia Nixon

Actress Cynthia Nixon was in a committed relationship with her male partner Danny Mozes for over 16 years, when the pair abruptly separated in 2003. The Sex and the City actress who had two children with Mozes, shocked many when only a short time after her divorce, she embarked on a relationship with a woman. Nixon’s girlfriend was revealed to be education activist Christine Marinoni. The pair became engaged in April 2009 and were wed in May 2012. Marinoni gave birth to the couple’s son, Max, in 2011. Speaking about her marriage and sexual orientation, Nixon stated in a 2007 interview that: “I don't really feel I've changed. I'd been with men all my life, and I'd never fallen in love with a woman. But when I did, it didn't seem so strange. I'm just a woman in love with another woman.” In 2012 the actress identified herself publicly as being bisexual.

13. Billie Jean King

Around this time, King’s secretary, Marilyn Barnett, made the claim that she and King had an affair starting in the early 70s. This came to light in 1981 after Barnett sued the Kings for wrongfully evicting her from their Malibu residence once the affair had ended. This lawsuit forced King to address the rumors and she stated: “I did have an affair with Marilyn Barnett. It has been over for quite some time.” Larry King did not seem upset by these revelations and stood by his wife by stating: “This has been a difficult time for Billie Jean, her family and her friends. I've known Billie Jean for 19 years and I don't think that anything that transpires will affect our relationship.” The tennis player’s comments on her relationship with Barnett made her the first prominent female athlete to come out as a lesbian. In 1982 it was also revealed by the sport star that she had an abortion in 1971 as she didn’t believe her marriage was strong enough for the inclusion of a child. Billie Jean King officially divorced from her husband Larry in 1987 but the pair remain friends; she now resides with Llana Kloss, her long-time partner and fellow tennis pro.

DeGeneres later stated: “The breakup was the worst, most awful event in my life. I thought we were going to grow old together and we'd be there for each other for the rest of our lives…I started to feel like Anne's mother, not her lover.” It is also thought that the wide media coverage the relationship gained is a reason that it fell apart.

In the years that followed, the Australian star admitted that one of the reasons she married Metcalfe was that she hoped to gain a green card in order to remain in the United States and make a name for herself as an actress. It’s possible the reason Metcalfe had the affair is simply due to the fact that de Rossi was not attracted to him. The star once stated: "By the end of our first year together, despite my desire to be attracted to him, my latent fear of my real sexuality was simmering and about to boil." A few years after at a 2004 awards show de Rossi was introduced to DeGeneres and the pair began dating. Four years later, in 2008, the pair were married and have been together ever since.

Just five days before filing for divorce, Heard had also applied for a temporary restraining order against Depp due to claims he had been “verbally and physically” abusive. Many believe that Heard’s bisexuality may have played a big role in the crumbling of the couple’s marriage. It is alleged that Depp believed something was going on between his wife and photographer iO Tillett Wright. Reports claim that things reached almost breaking point when Heard moved Wright into the guesthouse of the home she shared with Depp. It is not known if there is any truth to these rumors but many believe that Heard’s bisexuality made Depp suspicions of any girl she had a friendship with. It didn’t help when rumors surfaced that Heard was involved with Model Maria de Villepin, and her ex-girlfriend Tasya van Ree, during her relationship with Depp.

1. Lauren Morelli

The final place on our list goes to Orange is the New Black writer Lauren Morelli, who filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Steve Basilone, in 2014.
