14 Celebrity Affairs: When Nannies Go From Caretaker to Heartbreaker

A wild look into the world of celebrity couples who faced marital woes due to alleged affairs with nannies. High-profile divorces like those of Ben Affleck, Gavin Rossdale and Robin Williams highlight the blurry lines between professional and personal relationships. With affairs causing quite a stir, these tales demonstrate just how messy life can get in the spotlight.

Ah, celebrity scandals. They’re as old as time—or at least as old as the 80s, when Mick Jagger was allegedly caught with his on-the-road nanny. “Say it ain’t so!” we all gasped. Fast forward a few decades, and like a bad rom-com that just won’t quit, several stars, including Ben Affleck and Gavin Rossdale, have made headlines due to alleged affairs with, you guessed it, the nanny. Because where else would one find romance if not in the playroom?

Let’s start with Affleck. News broke in 2015 of his split with Jennifer Garner, and suddenly, everything went bonkers when his relationship with former nanny Christine Ouzounian caught fire. Reports claimed they were already in deep before the official separation announcement. But, hold your horses! Sources close to Ben denied the scandal, labelling it as “complete garbage.” A classic tale of he-said-she-said, really. Garner herself later chimed in, addressing it rather casually: “She was not a part of the equation.” Glad to clear that up!

Jumping from drama in Hollywood to the Garden State, we have the Real Housewives’ very own Teresa and Joe Giudice. The couple faced plenty of trouble, but Joe’s alleged fling with nanny Nicole Cemelli might have just taken the biscuit—or, you know, a slice of humble pie.

Moving on, Spice Girl Melanie Brown, who was married to Stephen Belafonte, hurled accusations of infidelity when Belafonte supposedly got close with their nanny, Lorraine Gilles. Between being a pop star and dealing with marital turmoil, Melanie found herself dodging scandal with the best of them.

What about SNL alum Joe Piscopo? He left his first wife for nanny Kimberly Driscoll, but alas, nothing says “I love you” like a good ol‘ affair; he later cheated on Kimberly with—wait for it—his personal assistant. Talk about a romantic rebound.

Then there’s Jude Law, never shaken off the constant partnership rollercoaster ride. His relationship with Sienna Miller famously ended when nanny Daisy Wright disclosed their affair in 2005, though they took a stab at a comeback, then split again in 2011. Twice the charm, twice the chaos!

Meanwhile, Gavin Rossdale’s puzzle with Gwen Stefani may have been exacerbated by allegations of a three-year affair with their nanny, Mindy Mann. “Right under Gwen’s nose” it happened, or so says the gossip wire. The snitch moment came when some racy pics popped up on a family iPad. Talk about technology being the downfall of romance!

And the rest of the star-studded cast isn’t far behind. The Dream, aka Terius Nash, was caught holidaying with his personal assistant, while Jon Gosselin took a tumble into drama when his nanny claimed their affair during her short time with the Gosselin family. We can’t leave out Arnold Schwarzenegger: while it wasn’t with a nanny, his secret love child with a housekeeper is the kind of plot twist even Netflix would love.

Ah, Jagger also couldn’t resist getting close to the hired help – Claire Houseman, to be precise. And what about Sara Evans? Her marriage was purportedly marred by accusations against Craig Schelske, who was said to be a little too friendly with their nanny.

Lastly, Robin Williams ended up marrying his nanny Marsha Garces. Wish we could say it was a fairy-tale ending, but they called it quits after 19 years. To sum it up, these tales of love gone awry, amidst the plush cushions of celebrity life, remind us all—perhaps not everyone’s cut out for the 24/7 chaos of domestic bliss in the limelight.

So here we are, folks. From Affleck to Williams and everyone in between, the nanny affair trope seems to continually rear its messy head in the glitzy realm of celebrity relationships. High-status homes are anything but simple, and as the boundaries blur between employer and employee, scandal just becomes par for the Hollywood course. Who knew that hiring someone to help with the kids could lead to such drama? It’s a reality check wrapped in an unexpected scoop!
