Shock: David Boreanaz, pictured at a Us Weekly Hot Hollywood Style party in LA two weeks ago, has admitted cheating on his wife Jaime Bergman


Former Buffy, The Vampire Slayer actor David Boreanaz has admitted cheating on his wife.

The actor, currently starring in Sky1 crime drama Bones, decided to come clean over his infidelity to his wife Jaime Bergman after a former mistress threatened to sell her story.

The 40-year-old actor admitted he was 'irresponsible' and was determined to fix his nine-year marriage.

Boreanaz and former Playboy Playmate Bergman, 34, married in 2001 and have a son Jaden, eight, and daughter Bardot, eight months.

The actor, who played good vampire Angel in the Buffy TV show and its spin-off Angel, revealed he had been unfaithful after his former lover contacted a lawyer and asked for money to buy her silence.

In an interview with America's People magazine, he said: 'Our marriage has been tainted with my infidelities.

'I just want to be open and honest. I was irresponsible.'

Boreanaz declined to name his mistress, adding: 'I was associated with a woman who I was involved with and had a relationship with.

'She asked for money. I felt as though I was being blackmailed or there was some sort of extortion.'

With the truth out in the open, Boreanaz is hoping his wife will forgive him so they can move on with their marriage.

He explained: 'We're working on our marriage. We're working on repairing what has been damaged so badly.'

Boreanaz and Bergman were originally set to wed on 11 September 2001 but postponed their marriage until 11 days later after the terror attacks in New York and Washington D.C.

Their whirlwind marriage came just seven months after they met at a Valentine's Day party at Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion.

Boreanaz was previously married to social worker Ingrid Quinn for two years before divorcing in 1999.

The actor is the latest in a long list of celebrity males whose alleged infidelity has been revealed in recent months.

He joins England footballers John Terry and Ashley Cole, Take That singer Mark Owen, golfer Tiger Woods and Sandra Bullock's husband Jesse James, who have all been involved in alleged cheating scandals.
