10. Michael Douglas Divorce

Michael and Diandra Douglas married in March of 1977. The couple called it quits in 1995, possibly because Michael visited rehab in the early 90s for sex addiction. He also had some drug and alcohol problems. The couple tried to make things work, but even their marriage counselor couldn’t help. Their divorce was settled in early 2000.
