Anthony Bourdain recently divorced his second wife after 9 years of marriage. Note the matching tattoos. Bourdain also has spoken openly about past issues with drug addiction, tying in to the views expressed in "I Don't Want to Talk About It" on the commonalities between addictions of all kinds, whether drugs or an OW. http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/anthony-bourdain-ottavia-busia-separating-after-nine-years-of-marriage-w440899

OMG!  ANthony was just on the Today Show and if he is not a MLCer, I don't know who is!  He looks horrible and has all those tattoos.  Time will tell how he proceeds from this.

If you are feeling down, know that God Has always had a wonderful plans for you.  Unfortunately, there are things that happen and forces that work to try and keep us from reaching what He has for us.  The good news is that there is healing at work.  God is always working in and through your life to try to get you to where He wants you.

There was an article in People magazine recently about Jon and Kate plus 8.  She said that it was like one day Jon became an different man.  He had a younger girlfriend at one point, has minimal contact with the kids and went into hiding for awhile.  Reading it screamed MLC me.

It looks more like he has come out of MLC. The marriage to the second wife, who is 22 years younger and the matching tattoos  just after a couple of dates seem totally MLC to me.

This break up looks more like the crisis is over. They remain amicable and sound very polite towards each other.

He had been married for twenty years to his highschool sweatheart up until 2005. By then he would had been 49. That smells of long term marriage with ending because of MLC. And now marriage number two also seems to have end because of MLC.

The first marriage for begining of MLC, the second for end of it.

Or maybe he is still in crisis and much younger wife number two was not enough ...

I always thought Patrick Dempsey has a MLC when he separated from his wife not too long ago. They are trying to work on their marriage now: http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/patrick-dempsey-estranged-wife-jillian-trying-to-be-a-couple-again-20151011

I always thought Tea Leoni got fed up with David Duchovny's MLC. He has been treated for sex addiction but she ended up divorcing him.

Oh, and Gavin Macleod had a MLC in the 80s, left his wife, divorced, returned and they remarried three years after divorce. It was at the height of The Love Boat so I'd reckon his ego was big then. He said he owes much of his turn around to becoming a Christian.

Nick Knowles is a TV celebrity in the UK. The section where the actress Gemma talks about how they met and how he dumped her is an insight into classic MLC behaviour on his part.  Obviously she is OW but that actually is irrelevant - it's how he seems to be bouncing from woman to woman and back and forth.

Wikipedia info -  Personal life[edit]
Knowles married his first wife in the 1990s.[4] Having separated from his wife, after meeting on set whilst shooting City Hospital for the BBC in 2000, Knowles lived with fellow-TV presenter Suzi Perry until September 2003.[5] He dated his second wife Jessica Rose Moor from 2009 until they married in September 2012.[11][12] The couple have a son, Edwin, born August 2014, but announced they were separating in January 2016. He tweeted support for Jessica in July when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. 

He  reunited with his second wife (26 years younger than him) later this year but has, as of yesterday, split up again.

My mother just told me how Mick Jaggar 73, had a baby with OW 29.  What is wrong with these men and more so with these young girls?

FYI - Mick has always been a serial cheater.....

What is wrong with these men?  They are children.  Never grew up.  He has the $$ to attract young women...so he does.

What is wrong with the OW?  Well, she just set her (and her child) up for perpetual $$ support.  He's got plenty of money, so why not, right?

Mick Jaggar is a joke.

Add Rod Stewart to that list, too. He's got kids younger than his grandkids, I think, and a wife probably younger than his kids! All of his wives are that same Stepford model. Mommy issues? Who knows, but they'll always be able to finance it, so doubtful that they'll stop.
