For sure: Joyce, Dean, Affleck, Depp and Lapaglia.

I am also checking in periodically on Thomas Gibson, the FBI boss in Criminal Minds.

He was fired for kicking a coworker in the shin shortly after divorcing his wife of over 20 years.

And Ewan McGregor, as Millie pointed out, is probably also gone.

There are a few others we can check after their initial euphoria has worn off. It will be very interesting.

Ewan McGregor was a well known cheater. Sorry, he had an open marriage (or so he always said  ::) ). His OW was married and it said she and Ewan are back together. Two, not one, marriage were broke in that case. He was a home wrecker to her marriage as well.

Ben Affleck is another well known cheater. This time, like Ewan, he left. Previous times, like Ewan, they always got back to the marriage/their wives always took them back.

But Garner gets no sympathy, she cheated with Ben. She was married, he was engaged to Jennifer Lopez. Jen was the other woman, and Ben the other men. How exactly was that relationship going to end, other than the way it did?

Are Ben and Ewan having a MLC. I think so, but those two were cheaters prior to it and Ben and Jen were home wreckers. Not exactly that same as someone whose onfy affair come with MLC. Or whose marriage did not start as an affair.

Tori is a mess and so is her husband. Those two have far more serious problems that MLC and have always had.

I think it’s interesting to watch how life turns out for all these OW.
Jennifer Garner: left her husband for Ben; Ben cheated on her with the nanny
Tori Spelling: reports are her H cheats constantly; latest reports are she’s had a nervous breakdown
Angelina Jolie: reports say Brad cheated and was drunk and not treating her well
Amber Heard: broke up Johnny Depp’s marriage and then her very short marriage to Depp ended violently
And sorry, but America’s sweetheart Jennifer Anniston was also an OW. Her SBXH Justin was in a long term relationship and living with a woman named Heidi and he dumped her for Anniston. And now he and Anniston are getting divorced

Thomas Gibson is interesting. I am a huge, huge Criminal Minds fan but hadn’t read too much about his circumstances. It will be interesting to see if he appears to have any characteristics of MLC.

It makes you wonder if what Brad and Angelina did to Jennifer, made her see things in a different light...and make it ''okay'' for her to go on and be the OW.

I think that probably happens a lot. Someone gets hurt by a partner, then thinks ''everyone'' does it...so they go on to do the same.

It is really sad state of the world these days.

You know this is MLC when you have played emotional hot potato with a pair of crotch-less tights.

I watched the OJ Simpson interview last night.

OMG, from what he was describing, Nicole was having a classic MLC in the years leading up to the murder. The ILYBINILWY, wanting a separation but saying they might get back together again, wild partying and exposing their kids to crazy behavior, then touch and goes where they were reconnecting off and on again. No excuse for murder, but what he described was pure script and I have no doubt he was an LBS being pulled through the wringer by her.

Watch it, you will never look at the OJ Simpson case the same again.

Any British people on here reading the story of Ant McPartlen from Ant & Dec and thinking total MLC.

For anyone who doesn't know who he is, he is one half of Ant & Dec who are huge light entertainment stars in the UK and among the highest paid celebs in the country.  He is in the middle of total melt down involving divorce, pain killer addiction, rehab, and drink driving  (which resulted in the injury of a small child).  It is incredibly sad to see photos of him getting married, 11 years ago, and photos of him today.   He is 43 years old.

I concur about the Ant McPartlen thing..... thought it when he suddenly divorced his wife amid addiction problems and then reading what Piers Morgan said about him not being the person he knew....plus his background, definitely seems, on the surface, a MLC situation...he is blowing up his whole life...very sad....and I do feel for his wife, she must be feeling like all of us...."what happened to our life" :(

Yes I agree Ant McPartlen's antics indicate a MLC, so sad to see and his wife does look shell shocked.  It's bad enough being a LBS without the whole world knowing.

Another one who I feel is in the middle of a MLC is Paul Hollywood, of British Bakeoff fame.  Left is beautiful wife for a 22 year old bar maid.

Hope this works!!!

Not sure how I missed so many in in MLC in the past.  Knowledge is power!
