The Love Contracts Behind Famous Celebrity Relationships

Diddy has been taking a lot of heat for his proposed love contract with Cassie. But he’s not alone. These celebrities thought they were headed down the road to marriage — until their partners surprised them with these unconventional relationships. Are these abnormal affairs a good idea? Or a cop-out for commitment phobes?

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel

Why did Diddy bring up Goldie Hawn when discussing his love of love contracts? Because she and Kurt Russel are famous for avoiding marriage after 32 years of dating.

Hugh Hefner, et al…

Not all love contracts last forever. Once upon a time, Hugh Hefner dated his women seven at a time. That is, until Hugh traded in six of his girlfriends to get married to Crystal Harris in 2012.

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan

Not all love contracts involve money or other people. What’s in the Facebook mogul’s love contract? More time with his wife.

Priscilla Chan included a clause that requires Mark to spend at least one night and 100 minutes of non-virtual quality time with his wife per week.

Tilda Swinton, Plus Two

It may take two but Tilda Swinton would rather have a plus one. Although she’s been in a relationship with Scottish artist John Byrne for over 20 years (and is mother to his 18-year-old twins), Tilda has also been in a relationship with 37-year-old artist Sandro Kopp since 2004.

How does that work? Tilda says, “What is true is that John and I live here with our children and Sandro is sometimes here with us, and we travel the world together. We are all a family.”

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman

What’s in Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s love contract? Keith doesn’t get a penny in their divorce settlement if he’s caught falling off the wagon and going back to using cocaine.

Andrei Kirilenko And Masha Lopatova

NBA star Andrei Kirilenko says he loves the love contract he’s worked out with his wife: she lets him have a once-a-year pass to sleep with another woman.

What inspired former Russian pop star Masha Lopatova to give her husband a hall pass? She says “When I’m aware and I let him do it, it’s not cheating.”

Mo’Nique and Sidney Hicks

Oscar-winning actress Mo’Nique says that she and her husband Sidney Hicks have an understanding too. While sex with another woman isn’t part of their love contract, Mo’Nique says that if he does sleep with another woman, “That’s not a deal-breaker.”

Charlie Sheen And The Goddesses

In the middle of his public meltdown, Charlie Sheen — who’s been married three times, traded in matrimony for an arrangement with two “Goddesses.”

How did the Goddesses feel about their unconventional relationship? Bree Olson said:

“Our bed is big enough for all three of us, and we take turns sleeping in the middle.

We do whatever Charlie wants us to do. This is the type of lifestyle I’ve always wanted, and I’m thrilled with it.”

Now that Charlie seems to be feeling better, he’s back to living the single life again.

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore

Remember when Ashton got caught canoodling with a blonde before his divorce with Demi Moore? Rumor has it that he had a pass to do it. Apparently, Demi and Ashton were trying out an open relationship before the end, but it only drove them further apart.

Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee

Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis say love contracts and unconventional relationships are certainly nothing new. According to their joint autobiography, Ossie and Ruby’s 56-year-old marriage worked because it was open:

“It occurred to us, from observation and reasoning, that extramarital sex was not what really destroyed marriages, but rather the lies and deception that invariably accompanied it—that was the culprit.

So we decided to give ourselves permission to sleep with other partners if we wished—as long as what we did was honest as well as private, and that neither of us exposed the family to scandal or disease.

We both came to realize that we were very fortunate that, in all of the deep profound, fundamental ways, we really, really only wanted each other.”

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones

Can a love contract stop a serial cheater in his tracks?

Catherine Zeta-Jones was willing to give it a try when she married sex addict Michael Douglas. If he gets caught cheating, Catherine gets a $5 million dollar bonus — and $2.8 million per year that they were married if they decide to get divorced.

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake

Catherine isn’t the only one with an anti-cheating clause in her love contract. Reportedly, Jessica Biel

Jessica Biel gets $500,000 if Justin gets caught cheating.

Miley Cyrus and Her Next Date

Why don’t you hear many of the deets from Miley’s dating life? It could be because she has all of her romantic partners sign a love contract before they start dating.

What’s in it? Dates can’t bring their cameras or phones with them to sneak any pics, gifts are a no-no and a non-disclosure agreement is a must.
