Halle Berry
Halle Berry’s last two marriages have significantly impacted her finances. After beginning a relationship with model Gabriel Aubry in 2005, the couple welcomed a daughter before splitting in 2010. The court ruled that Berry must pay Aubry $16,000 a month in child support, along with a one-time payment of nearly $500,000.
Berry later married French actor Olivier Martinez in 2013, and they had a son. Two years later, they separated, with the court ordering Berry to pay $8,000 a month and 4.3% of any earnings over $2 million annually.
Janet Jackson
Janet Jackson tied the knot with dancer Rene Elizondo in 1991, and their relationship flourished, with Elizondo managing several aspects of her career. However, their marriage ended in the early 2000s, and in 2003, they filed for divorce. Elizondo requested between $10 million to $25 million. The court settled on $10 million, plus legal fees.
Britney Spears
From 2004 to 2007, Britney Spears was married to dancer Kevin Federline, with whom she had two children. Their dramatic divorce, alongside Spears’ well-publicized personal struggles, resulted in Federline gaining custody of the children and Spears being ordered to pay him $20,000 a month. In 2017, Federline successfully doubled that amount, though the payments will end as the children have now turned 18.
Jennifer Lopez
J.Lo also had a dancer husband. In 2001, she married backup dancer Cris Judd. After just 18 months of marriage, they split, with the divorce costing Lopez approximately $13 million.
Melanie Brown
Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown has faced financial setbacks due to her relationships. She had a child with Eddie Murphy, who initially denied paternity. After a court-ordered DNA test confirmed otherwise, Murphy was ordered to pay $7 million to Brown.
Later, Brown married producer Stephen Belafonte, and after 10 years together, they divorced in 2017. Brown accused Belafonte of abuse, but the court still ordered her to pay him $40,000 a month in spousal support.
Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson married her manager, Brandon Blackstock, in 2013, and the couple had two children before announcing their split in 2020. After a legal battle over finances, Clarkson was required to pay Blackstock $45,000 a month in support and a lump sum of $1.3 million. However, Clarkson also sued him for $2.6 million, claiming he mismanaged her career.
Madonna
From 2000 to 2008, Madonna was married to filmmaker Guy Ritchie, and they had a son together. When they divorced, the court awarded Ritchie approximately $70 million in the settlement.
