Brazilian influencer who married herself has divorced herself after a year

Brazilian-born influencer and model, Suellen Carey, has announced the end of her one-year self-marriage, revealing that her sologamy journey ultimately became overwhelming.

Carey, 36, first gained international attention last year after marrying herself in a widely shared ceremony in London, documenting the event for her 400,000 Instagram followers.

Solo union and therapy

Despite the unconventional celebration, Carey attempted to make the commitment work.

She even attended ten sessions of couples-style therapy alone, aiming to navigate the challenges of her unique union.

However, she admitted that the constant expectation to be perfect for herself left her mentally and emotionally drained.

I realised I was putting a lot of pressure on myself, and that sometimes left me exhausted,” she said, reflecting on the experience.

Lessons in self-reflection

Carey described her sologamous marriage as a process of healing and personal growth.

She noted that self-analysis and reflection were essential, emphasising that commitment to oneself can still carry emotional burdens.

Even in a marriage with ourselves, it’s important to accept our imperfections,” she explained.

The influencer called the journey “enriching” but acknowledged that it was time to move forward.

Open to new possibilities

Carey said she is now ready to explore relationships with others while embracing the lessons learned from her solo venture.

Personal growth can lead us in different directions. I’ve decided it’s time to open my heart to new possibilities, including the chance to find a partner,” she added.

Fans of the influencer continue to praise her honesty and courage in navigating such an unconventional life choice.
