Cher, famous for her marriage and partnership with Sonny Bono, married singer Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers only days after her divorce from Sonny came through, leaving behind many teary-eyed “I Got You Babe” fans. It seems like Cher didn’t know her new husband very well because only days after the wedding, the raven-haired singer decided to pull the plug.
Cher filed for divorce nine days after the wedding citing her husband’s problems with drugs and alcohol as the cause for the split.
Quickie Marriages Don't Last
Rick Salomon is undeniably an expert on short-term marriages. This shared experience could be what brought Rick and Shannen Doherty together. The pair married in 2002, but the honeymoon period didn’t last for too long. The couple decided to go their separate ways after only nine months.
It’s unclear which of Salomon’s relationships is the most outrageous. His infamous sex tape with Paris Hilton? His two marriages and divorces from Pamela Anderson? Or his nine-month marriage to Shannen Doherty?
A Broken Marriage
Actor Charlie Sheen and model Donna Peele C met when they both starred in a cigarette commercial. Sheen was clearly smitten with her when he said, “She’s an angel sent from heaven to take me through the rest of my journey.” The couple tied the knot on Charlie’s birthday in 1995 after six weeks of dating (this should've been a red flag).
The marriage only lasted five months. When asked about the divorce, Sheen said, “You buy a bad car, it breaks down.” That guy is a real charmer!
Barely Lasted the Honeymoon
Sinead O'Connor was famous for her failed marriages. Her fourth marriage to Barry Herridge is especially notable as it only lasted as long as the honeymoon.
The pair met online when Sinead was seeking suitors, and they seemed happy at the wedding, but their life as a married couple was only 16 days long.
Young Love Wasn't Enough
One of Janet Jackson's earliest scandals involved her childhood sweetheart James DeBarge. The pair eloped when she was just 18 years old!
For whatever reason, the marriage was short-lived. Janet and James divorced after only four months and the marriage was later annulled. Over the years there have been persistent rumors that the couple had a daughter and secretly gave her up for adoption.
