A year later, the Brazilian-born influencer and London-based model revealed she was “divorcing” herself. In an interview with The Mirror, she explained that the self-marriage became emotionally exhausting.
She put intense pressure on herself to be “perfect,” which led to burnout, as she even attended 10 solo therapy sessions framed as “couples therapy” to try saving it. Ultimately, she felt lonely at times and decided ending the cycle was the healthiest choice. She doesn’t regret the initial marriage, viewing it as a healing process, but now she’s open to new possibilities, including finding a partner.
