15 Celebrities Who Have Been In More Than Three Marriages
Divorces happen all the time, and people find new love.
If you pay attention to what happens in the movie industry, you’ll observe that celebrity marriages are unique. Marriages do not always work out in real life, and we don’t actually know many individuals who have remarried more than once or twice.

Nicolas’s first marriage was to Patricia Arquette, which lasted from 1995 to 2001; then came Lisa Marie Presley, from 2002 to 2004. He later remarried Alice Kim from 2004 to 2016, and his fourth marriage to Erika Koike surprisingly ended in less than a week after they wed in Las Vegas.
Furthermore, David Foster surely added to his fame when he married Katharine McPhee in 2019 because there’s a 35-year age gap between them. David and Katharine are still happily married to this day, but prior to Katharine, David had married four other women: B.J. Cook, Rebecca Dyer, Linda Thompson, and Yolanda Hadid, respectively.
