Alicia Keys met her now-husband Beatz (whose real name is Kasseem Dean) when she was 16 but didn’t like him. In an interview with Marie Claire UK, she admitted that she “didn’t really like him” then 17-year-old Beatz. According to the ‘No One’ singer, he was “too ostentatious”. Fast forward to 2008 and a then 38-year-old Keys and 40-year-old Beatz were rumored to be dating. However, at the time, Beatz was still married to his (now ex)wife Mashonda Tifrere. According to People, despite initial rumours that Beatz left Tifrere to pursue Keys, the couple has denied this. Though he claimed he and Tifrere were separated, Tifrere took to Twitter to accuse Keys of “destroying a family”. This didn’t stop the two from moving o together as they got married in 2010 and have had two children since. Now, Tifrere, Keys and Beatz are on good terms with Tifrere saying of Keys,
“We love each other. We hang out with each other. We go to dinner together,” Keys said. “Our family is one big, beautiful family… It is a beautiful partnership. I’m very, very proud of that. It’s a real thing, and it’s possible.”

Probably one of the most controversial and public affairs is that of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles. Prince Charles had met Bowles back in the early 1970s, but they both married other people – Prince Charles to the late Princess Diana and Camilla to an army cavalry officer named Andrew Parker Bowles in 1973. Prince Charles first met Diana when she was 16 and he was dating her older sister. Prince Charles had only met Diana 13 times before he proposed to her. However, according to Sally Bedell Smith’s biography of Prince Charles, he and Camilla reportedly began having an affair in 1986, after the birth of the Princes William and Harry. Apparently, both Princess Diana and Andrew Parker Bowles were aware of the affair. It was in 1992, that things came to a head when an intimate transcript of a 1989 phone call between Charles and Camilla was released to the public. Both couples then divorced in 1995 and 1996 respectively. Prince Charles and Camilla finally got married in 2005.
