Unfortunately, even marriage cannot save from a “stab in the back.” In modern show business, there are many examples when one of the partners dares to cheat, and sometimes more than once.
And although the second partner dares to say that he forgives, sometimes such unions fall apart, because the wound in the soul and heart often reminds of itself. 24 Channel will tell which of the Ukrainian stars suffered the fate of being betrayed by their own loved ones.
Snezhana and Sergey Babkin
The couple met in 2007, and a year later they got married. They had two children. It seemed that everything was fine in the family, but in 2021 Babkin shocked with the statement that he had cheated on his wife more than 100 times.
According to the artist, alcohol and sex with other women was like a ritual for him.
This is what you need to know about me and the life I lived before meeting Snezhana. Then there was alcoholism, everything was. I didn't restrain myself either with women or with alcohol. This is the inertia of that life, the drive that was still driving. That demon that is in me said: “Wait, what stop?! No! We've gone far, we're still driving,
– he told in “Social Life”.
Snezhana herself said that the main thing for her was that the list of those women did not include fans, girlfriends, or acquaintances. Babkin used the services of prostitutes and paid them from $50 to $500 per hour.
My father left my mother when I was 3 years old, he cheated on her. And all the men I met on my way – they all left me, cheated on me. And the first man also cheated, and the second. I realized that if I left – there would be a third, fourth, fifth,
– answered Babkina.

Snezhana herself assured that she forgave her husband, and the artist himself stated that he had already managed to get rid of this habit. Moreover, sometimes the couple can even talk about Serhiy's experience with prostitutes, supposedly discussing the spicy details of sex.
Olga Gorbacheva and Yuri Nikitin
In the late 90s, Yuri met Olga. He saw her at the “Tavria Games” and fell in love. Later, the singer gave birth to a daughter, Polina, but the couple got married a few years after the girl's birth. In 2009, the couple called it quits.
Two years later, the former couple decided to give their love a second chance. So, in 2014, another daughter was born. And in 2016, the wedding took place for the second time.

In an interview with Slava Demin in 2025, the star revealed what actually caused their first divorce. It turned out that Nikitin had cheated on Gorbacheva with his co-worker.
It was a very strong physical pain, because Yura stood on such a pedestal for me. I idealized him. Therefore, I was not ready even for such a possibility. Betrayal is a mistake, but there are different ways to get out of it. Yura turned out to be weak in this regard,
– explained Olga.
She wasn't able to forgive him right away, but two years later they tried again. However, it was difficult for her, because her husband didn't fire the person from the office, claiming that it wasn't her fault, but his.
In the same interview, Gorbacheva announced that they were getting divorced. She was the one who initiated it.
Nina Matvienko and Petro Gonchar
The late actress was married to her husband for 50 years. Everyone was shocked by the news when, at an advanced age, the couple announced their separation.
But four years before that, Nina Mytrofanivna told the 5.UA website that there were betrayals in her marriage on Peter's part.
I was going through some things, betrayals. I also had hobbies, I understood that, I let go. I saw how he became interested. But when I found out that these betrayals were much more serious, I realized that you shouldn't get attached, you should let go of a person,
– the People's Artist said frankly.
She once said that if such a situation happened again, she would kick her husband out the door.

In 2021, in the program “Behind the Eyes”, the singer said that she broke up with Peter on her own initiative.
I've been a man all my life, providing for my family. So why do I still need it in my old age?
– the artist shared frankly.
Kateryna Buzhynska
The singer's first husband was producer Yuri Kvelenkov. When Kateryna was 19, he forced her to have an abortion because he said that work was her priority.
But then the relationship became worse and worse. The man raised his hand against the artist and also humiliated her.
However, the greatest pain she felt was caused by Yuri's betrayals.
He himself was walking around, cheating, and covering for me. But I never even looked away and we lived eight years of marriage. And I never cheated on him and it was very painful for me to live with him,
– Buzhynska shared in the “ZhVL” program.
Yuri also always said that Kateryna was not beautiful, forbade the singer to wear revealing clothes because he was afraid that she would leave him.

Unfortunately, this is how the personal lives of famous people are. Some managed to forgive betrayal and move on, but others were unable to “swallow” the pain from their loved one.
