Courtney Stodden ‘s nine-year marriage to 59-year-old actor Doug Hutchinson is over.
The 25-year-old blond bombshell made the announcement about the finalization of her divorce via Instagram by posting a photo of herself in a bathroom standing in front of a mirror. She wore a black tank with one strap hanging off of her shoulder and a tan sweater on top, and also wore a pair of denim shorts. She styled her long blond hair up in a ponytail and her makeup was done beautifully. For her pose, she left one arm at her side while holding her phone in her other hand. Rather than smiling, she decided to stick out her tongue for the mirror selfie.
In the caption, she revealed that her divorce is official, including a hashtag that read “divorce day.” She also included a butterfly emoji at the end of her text. The photo earned over 6,000 likes from her followers as of this writing, as many of them also left her encouraging comments.
TMZ reports that the couple filed papers in court in which they stated they were able to reach an agreement with regard to their assets. While together, they shared an Italian Greyhound which they named Dourtney, who will now be staying with Doug. He also gets to keep a 2001 Jeep Wrangler, according to the report. Courtney, on the other hand, will get to keep the furniture and appliances.
As far as financial matters go, Doug will be keeping his retirement money and taking responsibility for one of their credit card debts while Courtney will have to pay for three others. The former couple will be splitting their life insurance policy. In addition, Courtney and Doug will now have separate bank accounts, according to TMZ , with each one retaining a different branch.
Courtney married Doug back in 2011 when she was 16-years-old and he was 50-years-old. The marriage was controversial given the age gap among the two, but she was able to marry him with her parents’ permission.
Back in June 2019, Courtney spoke to Fox News about getting married at such a young age. She was asked if she regretted marrying so young, but she insisted that she didn’t. She added that she had planned to focus on her music career.
In 2016, Courtney revealed that she was expecting a baby with Doug, but she suffered a miscarriage that same year. She then filed for divorce from her husband in March 2018 — close to two years before it apparently became final.
