Suellen Carey, a London-based trans model and influencer, has found herself back in the news after reportedly ending her one-year-long 'sologamous' relationship. Confirming the divorce on August 30, she told the Mirror that the relationship was putting a lot of pressure on her.
Hailing from Brazil, Suellen had people across the globe shocked last year after news broke out about her marrying herself at a church in London. At the time, the model documented the event for her 400,000 Instagram followers, making herself a target of global attention.
After almost a year in the sologamous relationship, the 36-year-old model was struggling with loneliness and decided divorce to be the right choice. Suellen who reportedly spent over $10,000 to look like Mariah Carey, is now considering giving monogamy a try.
Talking about the expectations and struggles of her relationship and how she decided to end it, Suellen Carey told the Mirror:
"I realised that self-analysis and reflection is essential. It's crucial to know when to end a cycle. Even commitment to oneself can have its challenges, such as dealing with the expectation of being perfect for yourself all the time."

Talking to the Mirror about the struggles of the marriage on August 30, Suellen Carey said:

Sullen Carey does not seem to have any regrets about the sologamous marriage. She believes that her relationship with herself was a small chapter on her journey to self-discovery and healing.
She called her one-year-long sologamous marriage an enriching experience and hinted that she was ready to open her heart and try finding a partner.
"I also understood that personal growth can lead us in different directions. I've decided that now is the time to open my heart to new possibilities, including the chance to find a partner."
At the time of writing, Suellen Carey has not confirmed if she has any prospective partners in mind. The model has been spending plenty of time in the gym and hinted that it was a way for her to move on and get stronger.
