Criss was a player from the beginning. He has had twelve relationships, which is not a small number—no wonder he remains unfaithful. The relationship between Criss and Sandra started falling apart when Sandra got to know Criss cheated on her.
Criss supposedly had gotten "another woman" pregnant. In 2014, Sandra found out that Criss was cheating on her with, guess who, SHAUNYL BENSON!! Not only did Criss cheat on Sandra, he even got her a ring worth $300,000, which Criss later gifted to his new partner, Benson.
The relationship ended on a worse note. Sandra and Criss took their relationship to the court. Sandra sought financial support from the magician after the breakup. However, Criss did not do so, he failed to honor an implied agreement to provide financial support.
Relationship with Shaunyl Benson
After a long reconciliation, Criss and Sandra split up in 2015. And you guessed it right, Criss decided to get married again. This time it was with Shaunyl, who got pregnant while in a relationship with Sandra. The two met in 2012 and decided to get engaged right after Criss's divorce from Sandra was finalized.

Upon hearing the news, Criss immediately flew to Australia to be with his son, canceling all his shows. After over four years of treatment, their son is now cancer-free. Interestingly, in 2023, Criss and Shaulyn rekindled, with Criss proposing to Shaulyn again.
