* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'': Rick Jones and Marlo Chandler eventually married, although the wedding was nearly called off, as Rick discovered a porn film that featured Marlo, one of several such films she appeared in just after she had finished high school. The couple reconciled thanks to the Hulk's intervention.

* ''Series/HappyDays'': Howard remembers that he saw Fonzie's fiancée as "The Lone Stripper" at a hardware convention. Having been under the impression that his lady was a virgin, they break up.
* ''Series/StepByStep'' directly rips-off ''Series/HappyDays'' when Frank recognizes Cody's potential bride as a stripper by her distinctive laugh just as Howard recognized Fonzie's.
* ''Series/FamilyMatters'': Carl recognized his boss's fiancée as a stripper and was worried about breaking the man's heart by telling him. The boss was not only aware of his fiancée's job (they'd met in a strip club in the first place), but he was offended that Carl portrayed it as a bad thing.
* Inverted in ''Series/{{Friends}}'' when Phoebe visits her boyfriend's stuck-up parents and proudly announces a few shocking details of her past to them without any prompting. The [[AnAesop Aesop-y]] end result is the same.
* ''Series/{{Moonlighting}}'': Dave's father was engaged to marry a younger woman. When Dave meets her, he recognizes her as someone he met in a bar years earlier and had a brief but intense affair with. When Dave confronts her, she admits to having a troubled past in which she habitually got drunk and seduced random strangers. She'd met his father when she attempted to do the same to him, but he'd won her over by ''not'' sleeping with her, and treating her with respect. The kicker being that she'd had so many of those affairs, she doesn't remember Dave at all. Dave is moved enough to keep his mouth shut and give the wedding his blessing.
* In ''Series/TheGeorgeLopezShow'', Ernie is dating a woman who has a history of alcohol abuse and gambling problems. Angie tells George that the woman is pregnant, but not sure who the father is. Unfortunately, she tells Ernie it's his.

* Girlfriend version in ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' when Amy reveals to Sheldon "We all have a past". Of course her shocking history was once punching all of the buttons on an elevator before exiting.
* ''Series/DharmaAndGreg'' has a variant: while attending the wedding of Kitty's housekeeper, Dharma and Greg run into her now-married niece, whom Greg supposedly lost his virginity to as a teenager. This information reaches her husband, who's angry because she told him that she was a virgin on her wedding night. Eventually Greg confesses that the two ''almost'' had sex, but he, er, [[JizzedInMyPants finished rather early]]. Greg explains this to the Spanish-speaking husband ([[HilarityEnsues the priest offers to translate]]), who finds it hilarious.

In truth though, Jenny was always completely honest about her background to Erich and ''he's'' the one with the dark and secretive past.
