These celebs bailed on their long-term partners the minute they got wealth and stardom.
BIG SEAN
The 26-year-old rapper dated his high school sweetheart, Ashleigh until his Finally Famous album dropped in 2011. After the success of the album, they broke up and he moved on to Glee actress, Naya Rivera (whom he’s also reportedly broken up with). He says things didnt work out with Ashleigh because of distance and growth and not as a result of his fame. “It’s not like I’ve changed. It’s not like that at all. We just really had our differences and it just clearly didn’t work out “ he says.
LAMAR ODOM
Before marrying and divorcing Khloe Kardashian, the NBA basketballer had been in a ten year relationship with reality star, Liza Morales of Starter Wives Confidential. The former couple has two children together. Their last born died six months after he was born from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in 2006. When his career took off, Lamar gave Liza the boot and ran off with Khloe – marrying her in less than nine months of dating.
JENNIFER HUDSON
After her career took off in 2008, the singer began dating footballer Kerry Rhodes. When that relationship ended, she began a new one with professional wrestler, David Otunga whom she is now engaged to. This comes just after a year when she ended her relationship with her hometown sweetheart of eight years, James Peyton, whom she had promised to marry if she ever won a Grammy.
KERRY WASHINGTON
In 2007, the actress broke up with her high school sweetheart and fiancé of three years, David Moscow. She admits that she left him in order to find herself (and her fame). By the time Kerry dropped him, she had become widely recognised and one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood for her roles in award-winning movies including Ray and The Last King of Scotland. Kerry says the break up was mutual. She is now married to her baby-daddy football player, Nnamdi Asomugha.
SWIZZ BEATS
In 2004, Swizz married his now ex wife, Mashonda Tifrere after dating for 10 years. The couple struggled to break into the music industry; Mashonda as a musician and Swizz as a producer. When things started picking up for Swizz, it wasn’t long until rumours of him cheating with singer, Alicia Keys servised. Swizz eventually divorced Mashonda in 2010.
