Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks saw her marriage to her soon-to-be ex-husband, Apollo Nida, fall apart in front of the cameras.

According to reports, a currently incarcerated Nida has been caught committed credit card fraud from behind bars and he's going hard to secure some big bucks in his divorce settlement against his lawyer wife.

This one dates back to 2008. Pop music icon Madonna divorced her then husband of eight years, Guy Ritchie, citing irreconcilable differences.

"He just wants out, he has had enough of the Madonna circus and he is massively relieved."

The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul is currently involved in a nasty divorce battle with her husband of 12 years, Kendu Isaacs. According to MJB, Isaacs, who once also served as her longtime manager, is only making the proceedings a pain as he constantly makes demands he is "undeserving" of. She claims he believes he is entitled to a load of cash, but she begs to differ. “Why would he be entitled to something?” she said in an interview with Angie Martinez, “Because he’s used to living the way he used to live? Why else would he think he’s entitled to something? Because if you did what you did because you love me and you managed me because you love me and you rock with me as my husband because you love me, why should I have to pay you now?”

Many thought Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry made the picture-perfect couple while they were together, but once the couple announced their split in 2010, many were shocked. Fans grew even more surprised when learning in 2014 that a Superior Court ruled for the actress to pay the male model $16,000 a month in child support for their daughter, Nahla, in addition to a retroactive payment of $115,000 and a sum of $300,000 for his attorney fees.

Former talk show co-host Sherri Sherpherd made headlines in 2014 when she filed for divorce from her TV writer husband, Lamar Sally, after four years of marriage.

Sally later requested that the amount she pays him be raised.

On top of this, Federline also receives $20,000 per month from Britney in child support.

Former Spice Girl Mel B was married to dancer Jimmy Gulzar from 1998 to 2000. After a rocky marriage, the singer filed for divorce from Gulzar in 2000, with it being finalized that same year.

Novelist Terry McMillan notoriously married Jonathan Plummer back in 1998, but divorced him in 2005 after learning he was gay. It is rumored that she was ordered to pay him $50,000 in the divorce settlement. Not much of Plummer has been heard of since then.

Jennifer Lopez has a few failed marriages under her belt, but it is her split with former back-up dancer Chris Judd in 2003 that hit her pockets the hardest.

Janet Jackson and music producer René Elizondo kept their nine-year marriage a secret for some time, but everyone learned of it following their pricey split in 1999.

WNBA superstar Brittney Griner married fellow baller Glory Johnson in 2015, but their marriage was very short-lived as Griner filed for an annulment of the marriage the next day citing fraud and duress. This came on the heels of Johnson announcing she was pregnant with twins, who Griner said she had no connection to. In 2016, Griner reportedly agreed to pay Johnson $2,516 in child support and an additional $2,835 for nannies for the children. She will also pay back childcare expenses amounting to $8,505.
