‘Teen Bride’ Courtney Stodden’s two year marriage to her husband Doug Hutchison is going strong, but RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that sadly, her parents are divorcing.
Krista and Alex Stodden have been separated for more than a year and are in the process of getting a divorce after more than two decades of marriage and RadarOnline.com has all the details.
“Alex and Krista haven’t spent any time together in the last year. In fact, they've lived separate lives for several years,” a source close to the family tells RadarOnline.com.
“They’ve grown apart, and they are going to go in their own directions.”
When 16-year-old Teen Bride Courtney married her 51-year-old actor boyfriend Doug after meeting him on-line, both of her parents offered their support for the unconventional union.
“Courtney is one of the most level headed girls out there, and I’m not just saying that because she’s my daughter. Doug is the nicest man I’ve ever met in my life,” Alex said at the time.
Her mother Krista moved to Los Angeles after Courtney’s wedding and has been her manager for the last two years, but the distance caused a strain in her own marriage.
Courtney’s dad remained in Washington state and their long distance relationship proved too difficult for the couple.
“They’ve started the legal process of ending their marriage,” the source says.
Meanwhile, Courtney turned 18 on August 29, and the source says she is supporting her parents in this difficult time.
“She really loves them both.”
