For some cheating may just be cheating, but for other people that may not be the case. They might actually end up divorcing their current partner and getting married to their mistress. In fact that seems to be the norm in the Hollywood world. A lot of Hollywood’s biggest and most popular couples began their relationship while they were still dating, engaged or married to someone else. For many the cheating proved to be more than a hookup as they later got married and the mistresses assumed the role of wife. Some people believe that women who get involved with men that are already in relationships will not be able to convince the man to leave their partner wrong. These mistresses turned into wives are proving those people wrong. Despite what many may think, some of the couples on this list have been able to remain together. This proves that while cheating may still be wrong, it doesn’t mean you can’t find true love through it.
