The other person
The other woman is a mistress of a married man. But what if the other woman found that this man has relationships with the a woman other than her and his wife?
What do you call such a woman?
I need this word as there are some sex scandals about a very famous sports host in our country. And I want to know whether there is a word for such men and women.

I'd say she's her lover. I've never heard "other man" except in jest. If you said "I spent three years being 'the other man' and I finally accepted she would never leave her husban
