To the Left: Celebrity Couples That Didn't Survive Cheating

A-list relationships that ended over infidelity.

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton - Celebrity relationships go against the odds for lots of reasons — schedules, distance, life in the spotlight — but nothing will turn a red carpet pair into mortal enemies faster than cheating.   Our gallery of star relationships that fell apart because of cheating kicks off with Robin Thicke and Paula Patton. The "Blurred Lines" singer has been on an epic (or, completely inappropriate, depending on who you ask) campaign to win back his wife of eight years after rumors of infidelity hit a fever pitch earlier this year, but failed miserably. Not only does Paula want nothing to do with him, his album — which he named after his ex and packed with melancholy love songs — also crashed and burned.  (Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/WireImage)

Adrienne Bailon and Rob Kardashian - They were once one of the cutest couples on reality TV, but things quickly went south for the Cheetah Girl and Kim Kardashian's bro after it was revealed he cheated on her. Bailon recently told Latina being a part of Rob's camera-ready world damaged her career and that he manipulated their relationship for ratings. Needless to say, Rob's sisters didn't take too kindly to Bailon's accusations — and promptly fired back at her.  (Photo: Michael Buckner/Getty Images)

Halle Berry and Eric Benèt - This beautiful match turned ugly after Benèt admitted to bedding more than 10 women while married to one of the most beautiful women in the world. The couple divorced in 2003, but not before Hollywood had a new term for "can't keep it in his pants" — sex addiction. Thankfully, both Berry and Benèt have moved on and are now happily married to other people. (Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

Chad Johnson and Evelyn Lozada - The football player and the reality star went from blissfully married to bitterly divorced in less than 90 days. The beginning of the end started when Lozada discovered a receipt for condoms (not hers) in Ocho's car. A vicious fight, a night in jail and a whole lot of drama later, the couple were dunzo. While Johnson made a couple of attempts to win back his wife, Lozada had clearly moved on. She is now engaged to the father of her baby boy, Los Angeles Dodgers Carl Crawford.  (Photo: Christopher Polk/Getty Images for PepsiCo)

Notorious B.I.G. and Faith Evans - For years, Faith was the woman behind the man. And when Biggie met his untimely death, the world grieved with his widow. So it came as something of a shock when, a decade after his death, Evans published a memoir chronicling the many women who had slept with her husband, and how she systematically tracked down and beat up each one of them...including Lil Kim. The R&B star also revealed that she and Biggie had been separated at the time of his death.  (Photo: Courtesy of Vibe.com)
