Most of the time, when people get divorced, they don’t remarry that person. But it does happen.
If you ever broke up with someone, pre-marriage, and got back together with them again, not many people would bat an eyelid about it. But remarrying the same person sounds a bit more scandalous, even though the reasons why people would do it are pretty much the same: they miss each other, they still love each other, they want to fix things and make another go for it.
While you might not know anyone who has done this in real life, or maybe you know just one or two people who have, there have been plenty of celebrities over the years who have remarried someone after divorce.
1. Pamela Anderson
Film producer Rick Saloman was Pammy’s third and fourth husband married in Las Vegas in 2007, but it was annulled after two months. They got back together again and remarried in 2014 – but it was to be short-lived once more, and they filed for divorce after just six months.
2. Judge Judy
Everyone’s favourite TV judge divorced her second husband Jerry Scheindlin in 1990, after 13 years of marriage. One year later, they got back together and remarried. They’ve been together ever since.
Taylor was famously married eight times – two of them to actor Richard Burton, and their romance was legendary. The pair first got together filming Cleopatra in Italy in 1962, despite them both being married to other people at the time. They married in 1964 and became a celebrity power couple, starring in 11 films together.
They divorced for the first time in 1974, but reconciled and remarried the next year. The second marriage lasted less than a year and they divorced in 1976 for a second time.
It’s believed Richard was the love of Elizabeth’s life. She once said “after Richard, the men in my life were just there to hold the coat, to open the door. All the men after Richard were really just company.”
4. Natalie Wood
Natalie Wood was married three times – the first and third times to fellow actor Robert Wagner. They were first married in 1957 when Natalie was 19 years old and divorced in 1962. Both of them went on to have a second spouse who they each divorced before remarrying for the second time in 1972. They were still together at the time of Natalie’s death in 1981.
5. Elon Musk
The billionaire who made his money from Tesla and Paypal has had a tumultuous relationship with actress Talulah Riley. They married in 2010 but called it quits and divorced in 2012 after two years. But 18 months later, in 2013, they got married for a second time. Elon decided this was a bad idea and filed for divorce on New Year’s Eve 2014. He withdrew his divorce application in June 2015 and it looked like the second time around for this pair might work out after all…until he filed for divorce again in March 2016.
