Mel B and Eddie Murphy
In 2006, Spice Girls star Mel B had a relationship with comedian Eddie Murphy. After their split, the latter publicly denied being the father of their daughter Angel. In an interview on Dutch show ‘RTL Boulevard’, the ‘Nutty Professor’ star said: “We’re not together anymore. I don't know whose child that is until it comes out and has a blood test. You shouldn't jump to conclusions." The DNA test revealed that he was in fact the father, and since paternity was proven Eddie has been a major part of Angel's life. Their daughter turns 16 in 2023.

Russell Brand and Katy Perry
‘Dark Horse’ singer Katy Perry, 38, married comedian Russell Brand, 47, in India in 2010. They divorced two years later. In 2015, however, he released his documentary ‘Brand: Second Coming’, where he explores fame, popularity and success as unachievable concepts. One of the scenes features Brand speaking about his ex in a less than complimentary way. He said: “I'm associated with the very thing I detest: vapid, vacuous, plastic, constructed, mindless celebrity. That's the very sea we're swimming in. ‘Oh, who's he?’ ... ‘He's married to Katy Perry.'" (©BANG Showbiz)

Jennifer Lopez and Ojani Noa
‘Love Don’t Cost a Thing’ singer Jennifer Lopez, 53, was married to Ojani Nao from 1996 to 1997, a total of just 11 months. Following their break-up, Nao threatened to release a sex tape starring him and J.Lo which was recorded on their honeymoon. Nao’s associate, Ed Meyer, told In Touch magazine: “We are going to produce a DVD and also have a streaming release of the J.Lo home video footage. There is revealing video of her with a lack of clothing and in sexual situations, especially in the hotel footage from the honeymoon.” Luckily for Lopez, her lawyers were able to act quickly and the sex tape did not go public.

Sofia Vergara and Nick Loeb
Sofía Vergara, 50, and businessman Nick Loeb, 47, dated from 2010 to 2014. When they were together, they decided to freeze embryos in case they wanted to have a family in the future. However, after their split, things quickly turned into a nasty situation as the pair got involved in a legal battle over the embryos. Loeb sued the ‘Modern Family’ star over two embryos that he wanted to implant in a surrogate to become a single father. Sofia refused. Speaking to Howard Stern on his radio show she said of the situation: "Makes no sense. A child needs a loving relationship of parents that get along, that don't hate each other. I don't hate him but obviously he has a problem.” In 2021, Vergara won the legal battle, with the court determining that Loeb was not able to use the embryos. (©BANG Showbiz)
