Secret Girlfriends Throughout History
Secret girlfriends are not a new concept. Throughout history dudes have gotten action on the side and gone to great lengths to keep their secret girlfriends, well, secret. So who are the ladies who make this juggling act worth it? Behold!

1. Marilyn Monroe
Perhaps the hottest secret girlfriend of all time...possibly for both Bobby and John F. Kennedy!

Yes, this secret girlfriend isn't so secret anymore after David Letterman's very public revelation of their in-office affair.

3. Lucy Page Mercer Rutherfurd
Mistress to FDR himself, originally hired as personal secretary to Eleanor Roosevelt (can you really blame the guy?).

4. Claire Danes
Secret girlfriend of actor Billy Crudup, Danes actually tore him away from Mary Louise Parker when she was 7 months pregnant with her son. Yikes.
