Relevant Quote: “I was trying to get a divorce, but I went back home and I fell back in love with my wife and kids. A lot of times you get cloudy. This music industry is a mother, man, and it’ll take your vision and blur it. But God is good, so I understand that I need my wife and my kids in my life — so I threw the papers away.”

No. 3 – Paula Patton

Spouse: Robin Thicke

First Met: Back in 1991 at an under-21 hip-hop club called Balistyx.

Relevant Quote: Back when LeBron James joined the Miami Heat, Savannah admitted she was nervous about the move, but then she heard about those warm temps. “When they told me it doesn’t get any colder than 50 degrees, that sold me. We get below-zero weather in Cleveland. I can’t wait to have a sunny Christmas. It will definitely be an adjustment, but we’ll make it. We’re not complaining.” Wonder she feels now that she’s back in the cold?
