Criss Angel and Cameron Diaz may have had a very short-lived romance, but they certainly made their mark on the tabloids while romantically linked. Diaz was spotted with the magician several times in May and June 2007, and Angel even gave her a shout-out at one of his shows. While performing a stunt in New York City, the illusionist said, per People: “I’d like to dedicate this to my girl Trouble, a.k.a. Cameron. I love you, baby.”
While Angel soon admitted to Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show that he and Diaz were just friends, his soon-to-be ex-wife, Joanne Sarantakos, had a different story. The New York Post reported that Sarantakos had filed for divorce from Angel, while not only alleging that he’d cheated with Diaz, but also accusing the magician of abandonment and mental cruelty. The actor’s rep, Brad Cafarelli, denied the claims that July, telling People: “When Cameron met Criss Angel in May of this year, he had been separated from his wife for over a year and she had already filed a petition to divorce him in 2006.” He went on to add: “Cameron and Criss went on only four dates over a month ago and have no current relationship,” he said.

Angel also denied his then-estranged wife’s allegations (via Today), stating in part, “Cameron is a good friend and an amazing person and to defame her and myself and paint her as the reason for my marriage’s demise is factually inaccurate, ridiculous and just plain wrong.”
