Courtney Stodden Changed Their Pronouns
In since-deleted social media posts in April 2021, Courtney Stodden came out as non-binary and told their followers to use they/them/theirs as "she" and" her" do not identify them. They added in the posts that they never felt like they ever "fit in anywhere."
"I'm excited to begin to truly start expressing myself without worry of others' judgments or opinion," they said. "I've lived too long hiding from who I really am. I'm so excited for everyone to see my true self creatively and spiritually."
Stodden at 16
Stodden scored the spotlight when they married the then-51-year-old The Green Milei and Lost actor Doug Hutchison on May 20, 2011, in Las Vegas after they met in his acting class.
Their relationship, however, attracted criticism and controversy since Stodden was only 16 at the time of their union.
Following the ceremony, the former beauty queen and Hutchison released a statement to E! News through their spokesperson in which they noted they were aware of their controversial age difference and that they were very much in love.
While the public was searching for Stodden's parents, the then-aspiring country singer's mother revealed to RadarOnline.com that they had parental consent so they could wed in Las Vegas.
"We are totally supportive of this marriage," Krista Stodden said. "Doug is a wonderful man and we love him. Courtney was a virgin when she married Doug. She is a good Christian girl."
Courtney Stodden and Douglas Hutchison's Relationship
Stodden and Hutchison met when the model aspired to become an actress in 2009.
In a 2011 interview with ABC News, the Pleasure singer said their meeting was "beautiful" since Hutchison's friend informed their mother he was having acting workshops nearby. Meanwhile, the actor revealed that his world turned upside down when he learned about their age gap— though it did not make him want to walk away.
In the interview, Stodden revealed they were a virgin when they walked down the aisle in Las Vegas' Little Chapel of Flowers.
"I knew that if I kept that, I would really be blessed with a beautiful gift. And God did," they said. "He blessed me with my soulmate. So I'm really thankful for that."
They went through an on-again, off-again marriage before they officially filed for divorce in January 2020. The singer also suffered a miscarriage months prior to their split.
Did They Suffer Depression After Their Split From Hutchison?
Following their breakup, Stodden revealed on Instagram that they struggled with divorce and anxiety. During their last year of marriage, they spoke about how the miscarriage affected their relationship and how it led to their separation.
"Yeah, I feel like [my marriage] affected me in ways," they said. "And they're playing themselves out now. I feel like I really didn't get a chance to do a lot of the things a normal 16-year-old … ultimately 22-year-old girl experiences."
Are They Currently Married?
Currently, the 28-year-old Couples Therapy star is single and ready to mingle again after their recent breakup.
