They say third time's the charm.

Pop diva Britney Spears is ready to walk down the aisle for the third time, as she has agreed to marry her longtime boyfriend and former agent Jason Trawick.

Trawick, who has been in a relationship with the 30-year-old singer since May 2010, proposed to her recently.

Spears was previously married to backup dancer Kevin Federline for two years before the marriage ended in divorce. The singer's first marriage was with childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander that was annulled 55 hours later.

Here, we bring nine other celebs who got lucky thrice.

Her second marriage was with singer Kid Rock in 2006 and third with Rick Soloman in 2007.

Mission Impossible star Tom Cruise may have settled in marital bliss with Katie Holmes now but the actor has two failed marriages behind him.

His first nuptials were with actress Mimi Rogers, six years his senior, in 1987 and second with Australian actress Nicole Kidman in 1990.

Cruise and Kidman were married for 11 years after which they went their separate ways in 2001.

Demi Moore

Ghost actress Demi Moore's much-publicised marriage to Ashton Kutcher, who was 16 years her junior, ended this year following reports of the actor's infidelity.

Before this, Moore had married musician Freddie Moore at the age of 18 in 1980 but it lasted only five years.

She got hitched for the second time with actor Bruce Willis and had three daughters with him before calling it quits in 2005.

Melanie Griffith

Actress Melanie Griffith has been married to Spanish actor Antonio Banderas since 1996.

She married her first husband, Miami Vice actor Don Johnson, for six months when she was still a teenager.

Her second marriage was to Cuban-American Scarface actor Steve Bauer that lasted six years, ending in 1987.

Charlie Sheen

Troubled actor Charlie Sheen is another serial offender. He's been married thrice and has five kids.

The former Two And A Half Men star's first marriage with Donna Peele lasted a year, after which he married actress and former fashion model Denise Richards in 2002.

When that ended on a rather acromonious note -- Richards filed for divorce citing Sheen's drug abuse and emotional strain as reasons -- Sheen married actress and real estate agent Brooke Mueller in 2008.

The couple split this year.

Rod Stewart

And here's an addition from our desi lot of celebs.

Sanjay Dutt's first wife was Indian-American Richa Sharma, who came to India to debut in Dev Anand's film Hum Naujawan. She stayed back after she got hitched. In 1996, she died of brain tumour.

Dutt's second wife was model Rhea Pillai but that marriage crumbled under the pressure of the actor's TADA case when the couple split in 2005.

Dutt is presently married to Maanyata Dutt and has twins -- Shahran and Iqra.
