While a divorce typically signifies the end of a relationship, it wasn’t the case for these celebrities who married their exes for a second time.
Below are some celebrities who remarried the same spouses:
1. Eminem
Rapper Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, was first married to Kim Scott from 1999 until 2001. Their marriage ended badly with Kim being the subject of many of his songs. However, they overcame their differences and married again in 2006, before divorcing within 12 months.
2. Elon Musk
Tesla and SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk started dating British actress Talulah Riley in 2008, with the couple going on to marry in 2010. The couple split just two year later but re-married just a year later in July 2013. Unfortunately, their second marriage also failed, and the couple’s second divorce was finalised in 2016.
3. Jean-Claude VanDamme
Movie star and martial artist Jean-Claude VanDamme married his current wife, Gladys Portugues for the first time in 1987.
The couple split in 1992 but remarried seven years later in 1999. “The JCVD family is still strong,” the actor told the Daily Mail.
4. Marie Osmond
Marie Osmond also had better luck second time round with her partner Steve Craig. The pair were married for three years from 1982 until 1985, with Marie going on to marry Brian Blosil the following year. Although she was married to Brian until 2007, Marie found love once again with Steve, and the couple remarried in 2011.
5. Richard Burton
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton met and fell in love on the set of Cleopatra in 1963. Both were married to other people at the time, so this was very scandalous. They eventually got divorced and then married each other again in 1964.
It ended after ten years, due to Richard Burton having an affair with someone else, according to Marie Claire.
6. Melanie Griffith
Movie stars Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson met when she was just 14 years old and he was 22. They got married in 1976 and divorced in the same year. The couple gave marriage a second shot in 1996 after making up and having a daughter, but ended up splitting for a second time.
7. Judge Judy
Television’s Judge Judy married Jerry Sheindlin for the first time in 1977, but they announced their divorce in 1990. It wasn’t long until the couple rekindled their romance, and they walked down the aisle for a second time in 1991, with their marriage still going strong today.
