FROM TEEN MOM TO TEEN WIFE?!
There aren't any rules in the Hollywood game...who knew that MTV's Teen Mom would be such a hit, and now possibly in the works is a new show concept: Teen Wife...
The most recent headline is the marriage between Lost actor Doug Hutchison [51 years old] and his girlfriend Courtney Alexis Stodden [16 years old], an aspiring country singer. The two got married in Las Vegas this past May. Since Stodden was a minor, she had to get the consent of her parent or legal guardian in order to obtain a marriage license in Nevada.
Surprisingly, Stodden's parents aren't too phased about the marriage. Her mother Krista Stodden told Radar Online, "We are totally supportive of this marriage. Doug is a wonderful man and we love him. They are very much in love and we are so supportive of this. Courtney was a virgin when she married Doug. She is a good Christian girl."
Amongst controversy between their 35 year age difference, the couple commented, "We're aware that our vast age difference is extremely controversial. But we're very much in love and want to get the message out there that true love can be ageless."
The Doug Hutchison I know is the one who starred in The Green Mile opposite Tom Hanks where he played such a grimey jerk and it's crazy how roles can stay with a person for years after. Though they are in "love" and are already married, I don't see the rush to get married especially when you're so young. Since she is an aspiring country singer, maybe her motives are to get some Hollywood connects, but who knows. This is just another day in Hollywood I guess...
You Just Do You, Imma Do Me
