London Influencer Divorces Herself After One Year of Sologamy
Sullen Carey, a London-based influencer, has made headlines once again by filing for divorce after just one year of being married—to herself. The 36-year-old Brazilian model became a global sensation in 2023 when she wed herself in a ceremony that was part of the growing trend of “sologamy.” The unconventional practice of self-marriage gained her considerable attention, especially from her 400,000 Instagram followers. Carey had shared her journey of self-love and independence, portraying her wedding as an empowering moment of self-commitment. However, a year later, she has chosen to end her sologamous union, stating that the emotional pressure had become too overwhelming.
Therapy and Self-Reflection
In her efforts to maintain the unusual marriage, Carey revealed that she had gone through 10 therapy sessions—alone. “I wanted to make this work,” she said, emphasizing how seriously she took her commitment, despite it being unconventional. She described her solo therapy sessions as a means to understand and process the emotional toll her self-marriage was taking on her mental well-being. “I was putting too much pressure on myself,” she admitted, pointing out that the journey to make her sologamous marriage succeed led to exhaustion. While some may view the divorce as an odd decision, Carey sees it as an essential step for her personal growth.
Looking Toward New Beginnings
Despite ending her marriage to herself, Carey remains positive about the experience. “Marrying myself was an enriching experience, but I realized that personal growth sometimes means moving in different directions,” she stated. Reflecting on the journey, she stressed that the year of self-marriage had been a healing process, one that allowed her to embrace her independence and self-worth. However, with the chapter now closed, Carey is ready to explore new relationships. “I’m ready to open my heart again and possibly find a partner,” she concluded, hinting at her openness to traditional relationships in the future.
