EJ DiMera and Sami Brady were a favorite couple among "Days of Our Lives" fans. However, their relationship was also one shocking moment away from crumbling. Although Sami and EJ had many good years together, they also had some very difficult times. The couple were married on two occasions, but could never really seem to make things work.
When they were apart, EJ often turned his attention to Nicole Walker. During EJ's relationship with Nicole, the two seemed like a well-matched pair as they both caused a lot of trouble with their scheming, but also had redeeming qualities. EJ also married Nicole two times and got her pregnant twice. Sadly, Nicole lost both of the pregnancies. One of the couple's messiest breakups occurred when Nicole's sister, Taylor Walker, came to Salem. EJ was infatuated with Taylor and ultimately began to have an affair with Taylor shortly after marrying Nicole. Nicole found out about the affair and later plotted to get revenge on EJ. This wouldn't be the first time that EJ would have an affair with one of his sisters-in-law.
During one of his romantic stints with Sami, EJ found himself entangled in a torrid affair with Abigail Deveraux, who went on to marry his younger brother, Chad DiMera (via Soaps). The steamy affair led Sami to melt down and humiliate EJ on their wedding day. Sami got revenge by taking over EJ's company and fortune and sending him to jail.
