Model marries herself, divorce self after 90 days
In a similar story previously published on Briefly News, Cris Galera, who made headlines for holding a wedding to get married to herself, divorced herself 90 days after the wedding.
It appeared that Galera had had enough and could no longer stay in the marriage with herself.
The divorce had been informed by the fact that she had met and fallen in love with someone special.
"I started to believe in love the moment I met someone else special," she said, adding that she was happy while her "marriage" lasted.
When she was asked about her decision to wed herself in September 2021, Galera explained that she reached a point in life where she matured and realised that she was a strong and determined woman.
