Courtney Stodden poses in a bikini as she posts powerful message about ‘coming back’ after scandal

Newlywed Courtney Stodden has shared a new sultry bikini photo on Instagram.

The 30-year-old blonde bombshell was spotted in a periwinkle blue two-piece suit as she posed by a pool at a home in Calabasas, California.

Her blonde hair was worn down in a bedhead style, as she chose to wear very little makeup.

“Winter in the city #westcoast,” wrote the former child bride who has appeared on several reality TV shows.

This comes just as the Washington native shared a comment about “coming back,” while touching on her “strength and ambition” following her teen marriage scandal more than a decade ago.

Stodden’s comment on her Insta Stories was powerful.

“She comes back to herself… Look at her,” the passage began.

“Everything that happened in her life is handled by her. She works hard. She is strong, she is ambitious, she is resilient. She is sincere and loyal.

“Anyone who doesn’t value what she brings to the table doesn’t deserve her. She sees her value. She lives life on her terms. She comes back to herself.’

The quote came from Women Of The Future.

Stodden was probably talking about how she is regaining her power after a difficult time with the scandal of her teenage marriage to a famous actor.

She was just 16 years old when she married Hutchison, who was 51 at the time, in a wedding chapel in Las Vegas in 2011.

Because she was a minor, Courtney’s parents had to sign the union.

“I think the marriage that I went through in Vegas was so quick and I couldn’t process it because I was 16,” Courtney explained to UsWeekly.

This comes after the star got married in November at the Casa de Monte Vista hotel in Palm Springs, California. Her new husband is a film producer Jared Safier, 41.

It was during a “last-minute” ceremony, she said.

The beauty told We weekly that she said “I do” in a vintage white wedding dress that cost $60,000.

It sat low in the front and had thin spaghetti straps as it fell to her ankles. The sides were cut so low that her tattoos were visible.

The former reality TV star wore her blonde hair down as she added a very long white sheer veil with lace on the sides.

For a sentimental touch, her father Alex Stodden gave her the wedding ring he gave her mother Krista Keller when they got married. Alex and Krista are no longer together.

With only twenty guests it was an intimate affair.

Courtney started dating the Emmy-winning TV producer in the summer of 2023 after meeting on the set of a film project, and they were engaged by June 2024.

She told the outlet that she and Jared felt this was the “perfect time” to get married since both of their families were in Los Angeles for the Thanksgiving holiday.

‘We planned to get married, but we didn’t have a date. We just looked at each other, and we’re just as crazy. We just looked at each other and said, ‘This is the perfect time to do it,'” she explained.

They started planning their wedding three weeks ago, amid the stress of buying their first home and the holidays.

“It’s the holidays, it’s already stressful and we just bought a house together, so we’re dealing with that,” Courtney said. ‘Our family said, ‘Are you crazy?’ and we say, “Yes!” It just felt like the right time.”

After taking their vows, Courtney and Jared treated their guests to vegan food at the reception.

Getting married at the last minute just felt natural to Courtney, who describes herself as a “free spirit.”

‘I really am a free spirit and I always have been and I don’t think that will go away after marriage, and so I felt like this was the right time and it all came together. she said.

Courtney said she’s “excited” to get married again and said Jared “lights up” her life.

‘I feel excited. I feel like I’m on a journey to where I need to be. Everything that has happened so far has led me here.”

Jared also spoke to the outlet. He called Courtney his “best friend” and said he was so “excited” to marry her in front of all their loved ones.

‘I feel great. I get to marry my best friend and the love of my life and I get to do it in front of her family and my family, so very excited,” said the CEO of Safier Entertainment.

Courtney reflected on the first time she met Jared and his reaction when she warned him not to “fall in love” with her.

‘He looked at me like I was crazy, and he said, “What? Aren’t you going to fall in love with me at a business meeting?!” But I just felt like if this guy falls in love with me, I’m kind of done with it because I just felt this calling towards him, and our first kiss almost felt like it was our 80th kiss, the first kiss for me ‘ she recalled.

“It’s something I’ve never experienced before and it felt like it was an unspoken feeling. I felt like this is exactly where I need to be. It’s weird, but I just felt like I was meant to be with him, and I just needed to be with him, and everything is effortless and chaotic.”
