'IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS': Influencer who married herself now getting divorced

Article content

This is an instance where the saying “It’s not you, it’s me” totally applies.

A transgender influencer who chose to tie the knot with herself in a London ceremony last year became so fed up with her own company that she is calling it quits.

Suellen Carey, who is also a Mariah Carey impersonator, married herself after years of dating struggles.

But after months of sologamy, the 36-year-old has now announced her divorce, admitting it was a “lot of pressure on myself,” the Mirror reported.

“After undergoing couples therapy with myself, I realized that self-analysis and reflection is essential,” Carey reportedly said. “It’s crucial to know when to end a cycle.”

She added: “Even commitment to oneself can have its challenges, such as dealing with the expectation of being perfect for yourself all the time.”

Carey went on to say that she “realized I was putting a lot of pressure on myself and that sometimes left me exhausted. I understood that even in a marriage with ourselves, it’s important to accept our imperfections.”

Carey, who was born in Brazil but lives in London, said that the marriage ended up making her feel lonely and that she missed connecting with people.

She attended therapy but decided divorce was the only answer.

“I realized that my sologamous marriage was a process of healing and self-discovery,” she continued. “But I also understood that personal growth can lead us in different directions.”

Carey added: “I’ve decided that now is the time to open my heart to new possibilities, including the chance to find a partner.”

She shared a post about her divorce on her Instagram Stories with the caption, “I need a new husband,” as well as an emoji of a laughing-crying face and a heart.

On Sept. 21, 2023, Carey shared a photo of herself in a wedding dress with her 434,000 followers, noting that it was “one of the happiest days” of her life.

“Today I value and love myself, I married myself here in London,” she wrote.

“This celebration is important because I learned to prioritize my well-being and mental health. In my vows, I wrote and declared my commitment to caring for and valuing my self-love.”
