From shocking affairs to messy divod men traded longtime partners for much younger women, igniting media storms and heartbreak. Kelsey Grammer left his wife for a woman 24 years younger, Eddie Cibrian’s affair with LeAnn Rimes exploded across tabloids, and Jason Aldean’s marriage ended after a drunken kiss with a former “Idol” contestant. Even Ben Affleck’s rumored romance with a younger producer overlapped with his marriage to Jennifer Garner, while Hugh Jackman’s nearly 30-year union ended amid whispers of an on-stage affair.

Mel Gibson’s split cost him millions, only to be followed by a toxic relationship with a much younger partner. Patrick Stewart left his wife for a fresh drama school graduate, and Sylvester Stallone once dumped Jennifer Flavin by FedEx — only to rekindle the romance decades later. Whether public or private, each betrayal left a lasting mark, proving that in Hollywood, age may just be a number — but scandal never gets old.
