Actors, Marriage, Infidelity and Divorce.

A quick look and there's at least three actors whom are on their second marriage, with the second relationship, officially, occurring within a span of 12 months.

  1. Tom Hanks who cheated on his first wife, divorced her, and then married Rita Wilson a year later.
  2. Kerri Russell: had her second child with her now ex-husband in 2011. She started filming The Americans in 2012 were she had a main role with fellow actor Matthew Rhys. No official word of when Russell and Rhys started their relationship/affair, but celebrity gossip sites said that their on-screen sex scenes during the first season were so "real" that onset staff of the series speculated that "they definitely were fucking" offset. The series began filming in 2012. Russell and her now ex-husband separated in 2013 and eventually divorced in 2014. Since 2014, she and Rhys have in a relationship.
  3. Allison Williams and her now ex-husband were separated in 2019. In late 2019, Williams started dating past co-star Alexander Dreymon. Both Williams and Dreymon had lead roles in the Horizon Line that was filmed in earl 2019. No word that Williams had an affair with Dreymon, but no doubt at least one of them, or both, had the other in mind once the separation was official. They had a child in 2021.
A pattern holds up: the following relationship of each actor has been with a fellow actor whom they shared significant screen time with; with the relationship officially beginning within 12 months after the dissolution of the first marriage/relationship.
