Courtney Stodden Shares Marriage Update After Admitting She ‘Almost Ran Away’ on Her Wedding Night

Courtney Stodden is sharing insight into the state of her marriage with Jared Safier following a tumultuous beginning.

In a Daily Mail article published Monday, January 12, the 31-year-old model told the outlet, “I am really happy,” adding, “Everything is going very well.”

The former pageant queen’s update comes after she made a candid admission in a lengthy Instagram post last month while celebrating her first wedding anniversary. In her post, Stooden revealed that she and Safier, 43, got into a fight on their wedding night in 2024.

“I almost ran away. On the night I got married, Jared and I were both emotional, overwhelmed, and far too drunk to be making decisions with clear hearts,” she wrote in part. “A misunderstanding turned into a fight, outside voices added fuel, and everything spiraled faster than either of us meant it to.”

“In the chaos of the moment, he left because he truly believed space was the right choice,” Stodden continued.

The Celebrity Big Brother alum confessed she “felt like dying” as she spent the “night alone in the bridal suite.”

“But I didn’t run. And I’m grateful we came back with honesty, and a willingness to rebuild. Because I love him. And I know he loves me too,” she added. “We have been working on rebuilding; rebuilding safety, rebuilding connection … all while learning who we are as husband and wife. We are learning to communicate. Learning to love better. We are learning to choose each other even when it hurts.”

Before Stodden’s union with Safier, she notably tied the knot with actor Doug Hutchison in 2011, when she was only 16, and he was 51. The pair divorced in 2020.
