BREAKING: London Woman Who Married Herself Last Year Is Now Bored and has filed For Divorce

Reported by Suzan Daniel

Brazilian influencer Suellen Carey, who made headlines last year after marrying herself in a symbolic self‑loving act known as sologamy, has announced she is ending that marriage. [1]

Here are the key facts:

What Happened

•⁠ ⁠Suellen Carey, a 36‑year‑old influencer (and Mariah Carey impersonator), married herself in September 2023 in London as a public expression of self‑love and independence. [2]
•⁠ ⁠After trying to sustain this unconventional union — including attending “couple’s therapy” alone — she began to feel bored and emotionally drained. [1]
•⁠ ⁠Reports say she felt pressure to always be perfect for herself, and despite her efforts, loneliness crept in. Eventually, she decided she needed a change. The self‑divorce was filed about a year after the solo wedding. [1]

Suellen’s Reflections

⁠“Even commitment to oneself can have its challenges, such as dealing with the expectation of being perfect for yourself all the time.” [3]

She also called the experience a “journey of self‑discovery” and acknowledged that it opened her up to learning about her own needs in relationships. [2]

Why It’s Worth Knowing

Suellen’s story touches on deeper conversations about self‑love, mental health, expectations, and the limits of symbolic acts. While many praised her initial sologamy as courageous, others say her decision to end it underscores the emotional toll of trying to maintain a relationship with oneself under public scrutiny.
