NATALIE NUNN'S PRIVATE-PUBLIC WEDDING
In May 2012, media outlets went into a frenzy when it emerged that the famous "Bad Girl" Natalie Nunn had tied the knot with her boyfriend of one year, Jacob Payne.

The hastiness of Nunn's marriage, coupled with the hushed celebrations, pushed some media outlets to suggest that the wedding was fake. While responding to the rumors, Nunn said:
"They've been saying my wedding is fake and because of that, I've cut a lot of people out of my life. Jacob and I have been dating for a year, and there's nothing fake about it."
Natalie Nunn, who is no stranger to the spotlight, decided to share her wedding experience with her fans, and the event was broadcasted on three episodes of We TV's "Bridezillas."

NUNN'S MARRIAGE ROCKED BY CHEATING ALLEGATIONS
In 2019, Natalie Nunn's marriage suffered a setback when Nunn's "Celebrity Big Brother" co-star Chloe Ayling alleged that she was involved in a threesome with Dan Osbourne and Natalie Nunn.
Ayling added that the romp happened in 2018, after a night of heavy drinking in London. Chloe Ayling was very detailed about her revelation.

Despite Dan Osbourne and Natalie Nunn coming out to vehemently deny the allegations, it still did not do much to convince Payne, who was seen moving his things out of their home on December 6, 2019.
A few days after Natalie Nunn's husband, Payne, was seen moving out of their home, he was seen arriving in London alone and conspicuously missing his wedding ring.
Later that week, the couple appeared to have patched things up after they were spotted showing some PDA on the streets of London.
