‘Biggest Loser’ divorce: Cheating is alleged

News that “The Biggest Loser� contestants Sam Poueu and Stephanie Anderson are in the process of getting a divorce only two months from the due date of their first child has many fans asking one big question: Why?

If a People source close to the situation is to be believed, the answer is not a good one.

With the baby’s birth approaching, Anderson, 33, felt they “weren’t connecting� and sought couples counseling, the source told the mag. And in one of the sessions, Poueu, 28, allegedly decided to come clean.

“He [admitted] that he had cheated on her with multiple women throughout the course of their courtship and marriage,� the source said. “He told her everything.�

That was enough for Anderson, who, according to the source, initiated the split.

Poueu didn’t exactly jump to defend himself, the mag said, as he said in a statement, “The circumstances and specifics of our marriage and our separation are extremely difficult and private.�

He said the two are focused primarily on the July birth of their son and doing what’s best for the boy.
