Cheating heart: Men who stray

Wayne Rooney

To everyone the marriage between the poster boy of the English football team and his childhood sweetheart Coleen McLoughlin seemed perfect till the day the news of his alleged sexual romps with a prostitute Jennifer Thompson surfaced. Rooney is believed to have bedded Jennifer in September 2009 when Coleen was pregnant with their son Kai.

Some days later, another prostitute Helen Wood claimed that she too was part of Rooney's romps and had a threesome along with him and Jennifer.

Meanwhile a British Airways stewardess Rebecca Haynes revealed that Rooney had once repeatedly made advances at her at a pub on a stag night and she turned him down each time.

More skeletons are expected to tumble out from the cupboard a la the Tiger Woods controversy.


Saurav Ganguly



In the year 2000, India's two favourite pastimes - cricket and films - came together in the most scandalous manner. Cricketer Sourav Ganguly who was married to wife Dona, was reported to be having an affair with actress Nagma. The affair came to an end soon after. Nagma said they broke up because they didn't want to hurt his career. Sourav didn't say much - he just took off his shirt instead. This time, it was on the field.


Jude Law




Jude Law was dating actress Sienna Miller, but apparently that wasn't enough to keep him occupied. No, he chose to spend more time than necessary with Daisy Wright, the nanny for his children with ex-wife Sadie Frost.


Amitabh Bachchan



Amitabh Bachchan and his alleged affair with Rekha may just go down in history as one of our top unsolved mysteries. For years, the country has speculated on their status, cameras at award functions have panned over their faces in succession and even now many claim it's the worst-kept secret in Bollywood. The real truth? We'll probably never know.


Mel Gibson



Mel and Robyn Gibson, who married in 1980, have seven kids -- and now, a Hollywood divorce. Robyn filed for divorce in April, citing the ever-popular "irreconcilable differences." We wonder if those "differences" included Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva, who just gave birth to Mel's eighth child.


Hrithik Roshan



A few months ago, the grapevine was buzzing about Hrithik's alleged liaison with his co-star Barbara Mori. While neither party confirmed the hook-up (duh!), Hrithik did take one drastic step to declare his love for wife Susanne - he got her name tattooed on his wrist. The jury's still out on whether this was an act of love or atonement.


Brad Pitt



Brad took up with costar Angelina on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Too bad Mrs. Pitt -- otherwise known as Jennifer Aniston was also in the picture. Not for long -- Brad dumped Jen in 2005, and Brangelina was born.


Shiney AhujaShiney Ahuja



While many men in Bollywood cheat, Shiney had the misfortune of doing so with his maid, who then went and charged him with rape. Shiney first denied everything, then conceded that it was consensual and in all the confusion, he landed up in jail. The man was recently released on bail. We're guessing his current domestic help is only of the masculine sex.


Hugh Grant



Hugh Grant sure was caught with his pants down -- literally -- with prostitute Divine Brown. The world wondered why he was hanging with a hooker when he had actress Elizabeth Hurley -- who showed off her hot bod in a Versace safety pin dress on the red carpet -- at home.

Silvio Berlusconi


The longest serving prime minister of Italy and one of the richest men in the world also has a very interesting love life. In April of this year, his wife filed for divorce on the grounds that she couldn't stay with a man who consorts with younger girls and "is not well". His most high profile link up was with model Noemi Letizia. Many more have been known to occur.
