11. Jerry Lee Lewis And Myra Gale Brown

Can you imagine getting married at 13? Well, to one legendary singer’s wife that was more than just imagination.

Called “the most notorious rock and roll romance of all time” and the “big bang of pop music scandal,” Jerry Lee Lewis and Myra Gale Brown’s marriage was the most controversial thing around at the time.

Only the people closest to the pair knew about their marriage, but that all changed while Lewis was on his world tour.

When they landed in London, the reporters wanted to know who the young teenager by Lewis’ side was.

Myra, completely unaware of the huge controversy she was about to let out into the world, honestly answered that she was his wife.

The British tabloids went totally ballistic, and the tour was cancelled. When they got home, it had been discovered that the 22-year-old performer was still technically married to his previous wife.
