Pamela Anderson
Pamela Anderson
Anderson's first marriage was to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee in 1995. The couple famously wed after only knowing each other for a few days. Their relationship was tumultuous, with both parties accusing the other of infidelity. The couple officially divorced in 1998, but their on-again, off-again relationship continued for years.
In 2006, Anderson tied the knot with musician Kid Rock. However, their marriage lasted only a year before they called it quits in 2007. That same year, Anderson married poker player Rick Salomon, but the marriage was annulled in 2008. However, the two couldn't seem to stay away from each other, and they remarried in 2014. Their second marriage ended in divorce in 2015.
Anderson's fifth marriage was to legendary producer Jon Peters in January 2020. However, just 12 days later, the couple announced their split, with Anderson eventually claiming they were never legally married.
Most recently, Anderson married her bodyguard Dan Hayhurst in December 2020. However, their marriage was short-lived, and they separated just a month later in January 2022.
Anderson's multiple marriages may be seen as a cautionary tale, but the actress continues to live life on her own terms. Despite the ups and downs of her love life, she remains an icon of beauty and style.

Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson's first marriage was to actor Ryan Reynolds, which lasted from 2008 to 2011. She then married French journalist Romain Dauriac in 2014, but the couple split for good in 2017. Johansson began dating Colin Jost, a comedian and writer on "Saturday Night Live," in 2017.

Johansson has been open about her personal struggles with divorce, and even received an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of an actress going through a divorce in the film "Marriage Story." In an interview with Vanity Fair, she discussed how her own experiences informed her performance: "I had some kind of shared experience with the character, or with any person going through a divorce, really. I understood the bittersweetness of it somehow, in a way. All those kind of in-between feelings that the character has. I understood them because I had gone through them myself."

Angelina Jolie
Jolie has been candid about her relationship history and how it has affected her outlook on love and marriage. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, she said: "I probably have a very long list [of mistakes] for myself! I think one of the things that’s been important to me as I get older is to really know myself and understand what makes me happy and what I’m capable of dealing with and accepting. And I’m not willing to compromise that for anybody or any relationship."
While it can be easy to get caught up in the glamorous world of celebrity romance, it's important to remember that even the most famous and successful people have their share of relationship challenges. However, as Johansson and Jolie have shown, it's possible to learn from past mistakes and find happiness and fulfillment in love, even after multiple marriages.

She added: "In every one of those situations, as hard — and sometimes embarrassing — as it was, I learned so much about myself. All of those relationships were necessary for me. We all come here with lessons that we have to learn and those relationships provided me with lessons that got me to where I am right now. For that, I'm grateful. But it has been hard. It's been a difficult part of my life."
