Courtney Stodden, Doug Hutchison: Controversial Couple Split After Two Years of Marriage [VIDEO]
After two years of marriage, 19-year-old Courtney Stodden and 53-year-old Green Mile star Doug Hutchison have split.
The controversial pair reportedly parted ways after Stodden decided to end the marriage, leaving Hutchison heartbroken.
The split comes just two months after Stodden appeared on the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother. Her appearance on the show likely sparked the couple's end, sources told The Daily Mail.
While on the show, Stodden reportedly grew distant from her much-older husband, and even flirted with fellow housemate Mario Falcone, 25.
Hutchison also reportedly handled the separation poorly, freaking out and becoming concerned Stodden would leave him.
"Courtney has changed so much since being in that house. She is more independent and just wants to have fun like any 19-year-old," a source said.
Stodden admitted she was worried she would grow apart from her husband while on the show, telling housemate Lauren Harries on-camera that "he means so much more to me than this freaking house and I don't want to leave this house feeling so strong and independent that I can't depend on him anymore."
The coupls caused controversy when they married back in 2011, when Stodden was just 16-years-old. The marriage made her an instant celebrity as several media outlets reported the couple's nearly 40-year age difference, and the fact that Stodden was still a minor at the time.
They reportedly met after Stodden signed up for an acting workshop with Hutchison, and marries after a several month-long period of courtship.
