If you believe some scholars, Sonnet 40 was written to Shakespeare's male lover after he'd run off with Shakespeare's female lover. If you believe Thomas Betterton, he was Shakespeare's bastard child got on a woman who lived in a roadside tavern.
So, there are lots of rumours suggesting that Shakespeare did not remain faithful to Anne, but this might just be gossip and speculation. There is not any real proof of any of these stories. Betterton's mother did not, for example, successfully prove Shakespeare's paternity of her child in court. She did not even attempt to do so.
In any event, Anne took Will back, apparently without ructions.

What is the name of the recreated theatre from Shakespeare 's time in London?
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, completed in 1996, is an attempt to create an almost faithful reproduction of what we think the Globe Theatre which was built in 1599 looked like. I say "almost faithful" because in order to be used as a public theatre, it had to conform to fire regulations, and the people who make such regulations do not give a fig for historical accuracy.
Was Shakespeare faithful to his wife how and why?
We do not know for sure whether Shakespeare was faithful to Anne. Certainly she was happy to have him return home to Stratford in 1613--no objections were ever raised. But it is entirely possible that Shakespeare may have succumbed to the temptations of the city and his lonely exile from his home and family. Thomas Betterton claimed to be the illegitimate son of Shakespeare by his mother who lived on the road between London and Stratford. He might have been lying to boost his image, but we cannot prove it. If the sonnets reflect personal experience, he had an extra-marital affair with a dark haired, dark eyed woman who has become known as the Dark Lady of the Sonnets. Some scholars speculate that she was a Jewish musician from Venice whose married name was Lanier.
Was Shakespeare's family church Catholic or Protestant?
It depends on which family members you are talking about. Shakespeare's mother was from a family with strongly Catholic leanings, and a document (of disputed veracity) has been found in which his father confesses himself to be a secret Catholic. But on the other hand, Shakespeare's daughter was strongly Protestant and married a man with Puritan leanings. She was fined for not attending church, a failing both of Puritans and secret Catholics. Shakespeare himself, however, was a faithful church attender and never did anything which would put his status as a Church of England member (and thus a moderate Protestant) in any doubt.
Is Othello a play about a person who has a big nose in a shakespeare play?
No. The play about the guy with the big nose is Cyrano de Bergerac, a great play but not by Shakespeare. It's by the French playwright Edmund Rostand. Othello is a play about a man who is induced by a man he thinks is his friend to become so jealous of his wife that he decides to kill her. He only finds out that she was completely innocent and faithful after she is dead.
What does Shakespeare mean by the word 'constant'?
The same as it means in David Beckham talk i.e. unchanging , loyal and true, as in the quotation from Julius Caesar, "I am as constant as the Northern Star". The modern sense of "continuous" derives from this, since an unchanging event is a continuous one. It means the same as it does today, it means steady or all the time. it means forever and constant.

Read or watch Othello by William Shakespeare. Such doubts are driven by emotion, the fear that the wife in question will prove unfaithful. They are not driven by any real evidence.
