Stars who said 'I do' twice to the same person!
Many celebrities have rekindled their relationships with former spouses, and their experiences demonstrate that love can sometimes be worth a second chance. Despite encountering obstacles that led to their initial breakups, several famous couples ultimately decided to rekindle their romances and say "I do" for the second time to each other. Let’s take a look at the celebs who took two trips down the aisle with the same partner.
Eminem
Rapper Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, initially tied the knot with Kim Scott in 1999. But their marriage endured only until 2001. Their separation was marked by tumultuous events, with Kim often becoming the subject of his songs. Despite the rocky start, they managed to put their differences aside and embarked on a second marriage journey in 2006. However, their attempt to rekindle their relationship was short-lived, resulting in another divorce within the span of 12 months.
Elon Musk
In a parallel narrative, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk embarked on a relationship with actress Talulah Riley in 2008, eventually leading to their marriage in 2010. However, their love story encountered a hurdle, resulting in their separation in 2012 and subsequent divorce. Yet, their story took a twist when they chose to recommit to one another just a year later in July 2013. Regrettably, their second marriage also encountered challenges, culminating in their second divorce, which was finalized in 2016.
Pamela Anderson
Pamela Anderson, the former Baywatch actress, initially tied the knot with Rick Salomon in 2007, but their first marriage lasted only a year before they decided to part ways through divorce. However, they decided to give their relationship another shot and remarried in 2014. Despite this reconciliation, Pamela later filed for divorce once again, but she had a change of heart and withdrew the divorce filing. Finally, in February 2015, she filed for divorce from Rick Salomon for the third time. And this time, the decision stuck.
Melanie Griffith
Melanie Griffith's journey with Don Johnson began when she was just 14 years old, and he, 22. Their youthful romance led to an engagement on her 18th birthday and a marriage in 1976, but sadly, their union dissolved in the same year. However, destiny had other plans, and 13 years later, the couple decided to give love a second chance, culminating in their remarriage. This marriage came after the birth of their daughter, Dakota Johnson. Nevertheless, their second attempt at marriage ended in 1996.
NeNe Leakes
The relationship between NeNe and Gregg Leakes has been prominently featured on the reality show ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’. The couple first married in 1997 but decided to part ways in 2011. However, their love story took an unexpected turn when they reconciled and re-entered wedded bliss in 2013.
Larry King
Larry King's marital journey was marked by eight marriages in total, with two of them involving the same person. In 1961, he exchanged vows with former Playboy bunny Alene Akins. Their union endured for two years before they parted ways in 1963. Larry proceeded to marry and divorce someone else before rekindling his relationship with Alene in 1969. During this reunion, they welcomed their daughter, Chaia, in 1969. However, their second attempt at marriage also faced challenges, leading to another separation in 1972.
Snoop Dogg
Snoop Dogg's love story with Shante Broadus began during their high school days at Polytechnic High School. They even attended prom together. Their official union took place in 1997, and over the course of eight years together, they welcomed three children. In 2004, Snoop initiated divorce proceedings, but he called it off shortly after their daughter Cori was diagnosed with lupus. Their daughter's condition strengthened their bond, with Snoop expressing that it made them realize they needed to be together forever. Although they were never officially divorced, they reaffirmed their commitment by renewing their vows in 2008.
Natalie Wood
Natalie Wood's connection with Robert Wagner had a serendipitous beginning and their love story truly blossomed when, on her 18th birthday, she was set up on a date with him, leading to an immediate connection. After more than a year of dating, they exchanged vows on December 28, 1957. However, the pressures of fame and the weight of their relationship led to a divorce in 1962, after five years of marriage. Following Wood's divorce from her second husband, Richard Gregson, in 1972, she rekindled her romance with Wagner. The two actors remarried in an intimate ceremony and remained married until Wood's tragic death in 1981, when she was just 43 years old.
Elizabeth Taylor
The late Elizabeth Taylor's romantic life was marked by a total of eight marriages, involving seven different husbands. However, Taylor and Richard Burton's connection on the set of 'Cleopatra' was undeniable, leading to the dissolution of their respective previous marriages. In 1964, they decided to formalize their love and tied the knot. But, in 1974, they chose to part ways through divorce. However, their story took another turn when they reunited and remarried in 1975. Unfortunately, their second attempt at marriage was relatively short-lived, lasting only a year.
