Kerr and Kensit made the headlines in 1996 when their marriage hit the rocks. The couple's issues could be traced to several publications of Kensit flirting with other celebrities at star-studded events.

HER TIME WITH LIAM GALLAGHER

Liam Gallagher and Kensit's wedding was an ultra-private affair that evaded photographers. The pair tied the knot at Westminster, and even Liam's brother could not make it to the event.

Gallagher and Kensit could not keep the publicity and drama away from her marriage for so long. Gallagher had an affair with another woman and welcomed a daughter. This ultimately led to their separation.

KENSIT AND JEREMY HEALY

With Jeremy Healy, Kensit decided she was not opting for a private wedding. A 2009 announcement showed that the "Holby City" actress chose to throw a lavish event.

This was after her prolonged engagement period with Healy. The couple first announced their engagement in 2007, and then the wedding was scheduled and rescheduled. At one point, the pair called off their engagement.

By 2009, they were back together with their marriage plans underway. A close source made it known that Kensit was nervous about her big day and was determined to make her marriage work.

Once speaking about her romantic life, Kensit shared that she had no plans of getting married again. The actress shared that she was an unrepentant romantic, but she had no need for the presence of a man in her life.
