Hollywood has witnessed numerous breakups and divorces through the years, which are common among celebrity couples who are always in the limelight.
According to Alessandra Contri, a celebrity matchmaker from Matchmakers In The City, "a lot of high-profile people are quick to jump into relationships," adding that they commonly break up because of the intense amount of pressure and stress, having less economic pressure, facing "more temptation" and spending a lot of time apart due to work.
However, breakups may also lead to a second (or third) shot at finally finding true love. Below is the list of 11 high-profile celebrities who have been married three or more times, according to Insider.
1. Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor was one of the most popular Hollywood actresses during the 1950s and was well-known for her flawless beauty. So, it's no question that men would fall for the movie star.
Taylor was married eight times and had seven husbands to her name, including Conrad Hilton Jr. (1950 to 1951), Michael Wilding (1952 to 1957), Mike Todd (1957 to his death in 1958), Eddie Fisher (1959 to 1964), John Warner (1976 to 1982), Larry Fortensky (1991 to 1996), and Richard Burton, whom she married twice, the first from 1964 to 1974, and then again in 1975 to 1976.
