When you’re rich and famous, there’s a strong likelihood that you have a lot of people working for you, for a variety of different reasons. But, there are often situations where those professional relationships turn into something more. These celebrities got caught cheating with people who worked for them.
David Beckham
During the height of David Beckham’s soccer career, his PR assistant, Rebecca Loos, claimed to have had an affair with him. “Golden Balls,” as he’s known in the media, vehemently denied the claims. Thankfully, Victoria believed her husband and the couple relocated to L.A.

The Dream
For a moment there, The Dream and Christina Milian looked like a serious power couple in the world of R&B. They first started dating in 2009 and tied the knot shortly after. However, the cracks started to show and things came to a head in spectacular fashion.
Shortly after Milian gave birth to their child, The Dream was caught cheating on her with their personal assistant, of all people — Melissa Marie Santiago. They got separated immediately and divorced two years later.
James Cameron
He might be known for having made some of the most successful movies of all time — but James Cameron’s personal life has been pretty rocky, to say the very least. The Titanic and Avatar director was once with Linda Hamilton, but seemed to have an on and off relationship with an actress who worked for him, named Suzy Amis.
Despite tying the knot with the former, Cameron’s heart was ultimately with the latter and he settled with Amis shortly after breaking up with Hamilton.
Future
Future and Ciara were a poster couple that many people considered as “relationship goals.” Although things seemed to be going so well for the couple, not even their son could keep them together. The rapper and singer were engaged when Ciara discovered that her fiancé was having an affair with their wardrobe consultant, Tyrina Lee.
Despite this, Future was quick to deny such claims and suggested that they had simply drifted apart. But, Ciara called off their engagement because of the accusations.
Gavin Rossdale
In theory, being married to Gwen Stefani should be the ultimate happy ending. And yet, not even the former lead singer of No Doubt was enough for Gavin Rossdale. Stefani reportedly discovered some texts and indecent photos on her ex-husband’s iPad of their nanny, Mindy Mann.
Sadly, the former couple’s three kids were caught up in all the drama. Without haste, the singer filed for divorce and since then, she has happily moved on with country legend Blake Shelton.
Ben Affleck
Ben Affleck’s personal issues have been well-documented over the last decade, so much so that it even inspired his role in David Fincher’s Gone Girl. The actor/filmmaker announced his divorce to Jennifer Garner.
This came just a week after it was revealed that their nanny, Christine Ouzounian, had been fired. It soon came to light that the two had been having an affair. Despite this, Affleck has bounced back, has reached sobriety, and is successfully co-parenting with Garner.
Tiger Woods
This list certainly wouldn’t be complete without the enigma that is Tiger Woods. It’s been a decade since the iconic golfer experienced a dramatic fall from grace.
This example is kind of different, though, as Woods ended up with his ex-wife — Elin Nordegren — while she was working as a nanny for fellow golf star Jasper Parnevik. It was later on that Woods was guilty of philandering and sleeping around. Thankfully, he has since made a comeback to the world of golf and is doing OK.
Jon Gosselin
Jon and Kate Gosselin’s marriage fell apart in spectacular fashion and was virtually broadcast on their reality show. But, it was only later that reports suggested that Jon’s infidelity was what led to the breakup.
Former waitress Stephanie Santoro worked as the family nanny at one point. She claimed to have had an affair with the patriarch of the family. According to her, they entered his hot tub together, started to massage each other, and one thing led to another.
Bray Wyatt
To be fair, Bray Wyatt had an affair with a different kind of “help.” While he seemed to be happily married at the time, this didn’t stop the WWE superstar from sleeping around — specifically with his ring announcer, Jojo Offerman.
His ex-wife, Samantha, filed for divorce upon learning the shocking news. After lengthy legal issues between the former couple, Wyatt ended up starting a relationship with Offerman and the couple has since had two kids together, Knash and Hyrie.
Robin Williams
The world of entertainment simply hasn’t been the same since the beloved Robin Williams passed away under such tragic circumstances. During his lifetime, though, the comedy man wasn’t always making the best decisions, especially in his private life.
The Aladdin star ended up leaving his first wife, Valerie Velardi, for their nanny, Marsha Garces. They enjoyed two decades of marriage before Williams moved onto his third wife.
Jude Law
Jude Law’s affair with his nanny might be one of the most well-documented stories on this list. During his relationship with Sienna Miller, the British actor was caught by one of his kids while fraternizing in bed with nanny Daisy Wright.
Amazingly, Law was caught between Wright, Miller, and his first wife, Sadie Frost. Despite his desperation to make things work, things eventually fell apart between Law and Miller. It took a while for Law to recover from the scandal and has only recently resurfaced in Hollywood.
Britney Spears
For a couple of years there, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were the celebrity couple that everyone else wanted to be. However, things came crashing down pretty abruptly for the two pop stars.
The “Oops I Did It Again” singer reportedly cheated on her N*Sync boyfriend with her choreographer, of all people — Wade Robson. The war of words carried on long after the relationship ended, and JT got his own back on Britney with his song “Cry Me a River.”
Mick Jagger
It’s no secret that Mick Jagger’s relationship with Jerry Hall came to an end because of his infidelity. He had affairs with models such as Carla Bruni and Lucia Gimenez Morad, the latter of which had Jagger’s child.
But, not many people realize that Jagger also had a secret relationship with the nanny. Surely enough, it was just a matter of time before Hall knew that she needed to part ways with The Rolling Stones frontman.
Ashley Cole
One of the most heavily publicized celebrity breakups in British history came between “golden couple” Ashley and Cheryl Cole. Ashley was one of the most celebrated soccer players of his generation, while Cheryl was a successful pop star who first found fame through a reality talent show.
Just months after they tied the knot, it was reported that Ashley had cheated on Cheryl with hairdresser Aimee Walton. By the time 2010 came around, the Girls Aloud singer was ready to sign divorce papers.
Chris de Burgh
1994 was certainly a tough time for the de Burgh family. Popstar Chris de Burgh was busy taking care of his wife Diane, who had recently broken her neck during a horse-riding accident and was recovering at home.
Little did she know though that the “Lady in Red” singer was cheating on her with their kid’s 19-year-old nanny, Maresa Morgan. Unlike a lot of other stories on this list, de Burgh managed to prevent his wife from leaving him.
