David Boreanaz Admits to Cheating on His Wife

By PopEater Staff Posted May 3rd 2010 06:08PM

'Bones' star David Boreanaz is joining the Tiger Woods' club of infidelity. (Other members include Jesse James and Tiki Barber.)

Boreanaz admits to PEOPLE that he was unfaithful to his wife of 9 years, Jaime Bergman. "Our marriage has been tainted with my infidelities. I just want to be open and honest. I was irresponsible," he revealed.

The actor is coming forward because his former mistress threatened him. "I was associated with a woman who I was involved with and had a relationship with. She asked for money. I felt as though I was being blackmailed or there was some sort of extortion."

He says now he's focusing on Bergman. "We're working on our marriage. We're working on repairing what has been damaged so badly."

According to TMZ, the woman hired Gloria Allred, who contacted Boreanaz's lawyer, demanding money. Rather than pay up, the actor came clean.

Boreanaz and the unnamed mistress allegedly met two or three times, and he had already paid her thousands of dollars.

Interestingly enough, TMZ says that the woman is not Rachel Uchitel -- also an Allred client -- who David reportedly had an affair with last year. RadarOnline, however, is reporting that the woman involved is indeed Uchitel, who you may know from such past sex scandals as the infamous Tiger Woods fiasco.

Star magazine claims that the former 'Angel' star and Tiger Woods' mistress number one hooked up while Bergman was pregnant with their second child. (The couple have two children -- 8-year-old Jaden and 8-month old Bardot.)

"He was attracted to Rachel and asked her for her number. She gave him her card, and he texted her that night to have a drink with him. She went, and they had a major connection," an insider told Star.

According to the source, Rachel and David had a lot of chemistry. "David would walk in the door, and they'd have sex right away. He told her, 'Every time I have sex with you is like the first time.'"

The supposed last straw for Uchitel, however, was when Boreanaz called her when his wife went into labor. "He was on the phone with Rachel, giving updates. That grossed her out, because she felt that should have been private."

"There is no such thing as 'secret romance' in cheating terms anymore," attorney Vikki Ziegler tells PopEater. "Male celebrities don't only have to worry about their scorned wives leaving them and taking up to half of their net worth -- today the trend is worrying about ex-mistresses requesting money to keep quiet and lots of it. If Tiger, Charlie and Jesse haven't taught Hollywood at large their love lessons who will?" Get More From Ziegler >>>

Boreanaz and Bergman met on Valentine's Day in 2001. In November of that year, they married in a small ceremony. Plans for a bigger wedding in September had been postponed due to the September 11 attacks.

"I never thought I could feel like this," David said at the time.

"Celebrating our love -- that's what our marriage is about," Bergman added. "And starting a family." A few months later, in May of 2002, Jaime gave birth to their first son.

So can Boreanaz repair what's been broken? "Jaime will have to dig deep to salvage this marriage when she finds out about the dirty details of David's sexcapades," says Ziegler, who can't believe Boreanaz's mind would have been wandering while his wife was pregnant. "How low can you go? Narcissism is truly an epidemic in Hollywood. Good luck Jaime, but not sure you should throw a dog a bone."

Yes giving the baby an STD is cool but listening to find out what kind or if it was deadly which it can be for infants in utero is too much to ask.

By sharon

As many men as she does, I'm surprised he didn't fall in!

By Kaci

I am surprised. If I was David I would go straight to the Doctor and get out for vd'. Just in case. I don't know why guys do that. I guess opportunity. Stupidity.

By gwayneb

Ahh, David, say it isn't so. Loved him on Angel and Buffy. Dang.

By GloriaMia

I'm a long time fan of David as well, and must admit that I probably got sucked in by identifying him with some of his characters. It makes me very sad to see that he's not the man I though he was. I can't even imagine how his wife must feel. Whatever she decides, I'm on her side!

I STILL LOVE THE "CHARACTER" OF THE DARK SEXY ,MASCULINE,VAMP, WITH A A HEART OF GOLD ANGEL,ALSO LOVE THE SHOW BONES. AS FOR WHAT THE "ACTOR" DAVID BOREANAZ, WHAT GOES ON BETWEEN HIM AND HIS WIFE IS HIS BUSINESS, I REALLY DONT THINK HE OWES THE PUBLIC ANY EXPLANATION, ASD LONG AS HE DOES HIS JOB AND KEEPS US ENTERTAINED, WHATS ITS TO US, WHAT HE DOES BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.?

By Angel Heart

Couldn't have said it better. The most disgusting people in all of these stories (TW, JJ) are the gold diggers who try to make a fortune with the personal disasters of humans. Especially the so called journalists and tabloid reporters. People can fail, no matter how hard. Just leave them alone it's their business and beside their professions as actors, golfers or whatever not ours. What does the public expect those guys to do? Neverending guilt, suicide? They are humans and there are much worse things going on in the world.

By rob

he made it public that is why people feel they can judge him.

By Traci

I agree whole heartedly! What David and his wife are going through shoudn't be public, would any of you want your spouses affair to be publily known to the whole world? He made a huge mistake that he has to live with. And I hope that they will be able to work through this, and I wish both of them the best of luck!!!

I agree, Julie. We are confusing the actor with the characters he portrays. I am still going to watch Bones regardless of all this stuff. Obviously, David Boreanaz is not Agent Booth or ANGEL. But frankly, I don't care. Is it wrong to cheat on your wife? Definitely. But it is none of our business. He and his wife have to work it out and it really doesn't involve the public one way or another. He's not the first guy to stray (especially in Hollywood) and he won't be the last, sadly. And yes, woman stray too. It takes two to tango. I guess when you are in the public eye you give up your privacy. But I am sure his wife knew about this long before he made it public.
