Courtney Stodden went naked this week for her 30th birthday – more than a decade after she rose to fame as a ‘child bride’.
She rose to fame in 2011 after her acting coach Doug Hutchison married her when she was just 16 and he was 50.
They split in 2017 after a stormy on-again, off-again relationship that Courtney later described as “grooming.”
Now, years after their divorce, Courtney is celebrating her ‘Dirty 30’ with a racy album she posted to her Instagram page.
She posed nude on the bed with two large balloons strategically positioned across her front as she happily bit into a festive cupcake.
Courtney Stodden went naked for her 30th birthday – more than a decade after she rose to fame as Doug Hutchinson’s ‘child bride’
The showbiz personality, who uses both the pronouns “they” and “them,” was the picture of good cheer as she beamed for the cameras in her photos.
Courtney, who got engaged to her third fiancé, Jared Safier, 41, in June, did not specify who took the suggestive photos.
Jared’s ring glittered on Courtney’s left hand and a few pink roses lay in the sheets.
The birthday girl clearly enjoyed the warm bond with her photographer, smiling at the camera and at one point playfully covering her face.
She met Doug at age 16 through an online acting class he was teaching, and within a few months he married her at the Chapel Of The Flowers in Las Vegas in 2011.
“We fully support this marriage,” Courtney’s mother, Krista Keller, told Radar online at the time. ‘Doug is a wonderful person and we love him.’
Krista insisted the couple were “very much in love,” saying, “Courtney was a virgin when she married Doug. She’s a good Christian girl.”
Doug, who has now had three wives, said Fox News in 2020 that he “lost my family and friends” and “ruined my career” by marrying Courtney.

During her time with Doug, Courtney became pregnant and suffered a miscarriage, and has since opened up about the pain of her loss.
In 2016, Courtney appeared on The Mother/Daughter Experiment: Celebrity Edition, where another layer of her issues came to the surface.
Krista claimed she had an “emotional affair” with Doug, who denied her allegations and called his mother-in-law a “compulsive liar.”
In Doug’s version of events, Krista told him she loved him two weeks after he married Courtney, but he didn’t respond in kind.
On the show, Courtney accused Krista of giving her permission to marry Doug, hoping to eventually have a relationship with him herself.
Courtney and Doug split in 2013 and got back together in 2014. However, in 2017 it became clear that they had split again and in 2018 Doug filed for divorce.
When the divorce was final in March 2020, she posted a throwback photo of Doug kissing her at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont, writing, “Looking back at this photo makes me feel so violated.”
She told Doug, “I will always love you; but I will always be angry. You left me – a child, who feels belittled and confused. I will overcome these things. I wish you the best. But please don’t ever do this to a minor again.”

The couple split in 2023 and in August of that year, she started a relationship with her current fiancé Jared Safier, who is also a film producer.
During a major cleanup this year, Courtney dramatically flushed Chris’ ring down the toilet. A few days later, it was revealed that she and Jared were engaged.
Jared popped the question to Courtney at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel wearing a ring identical to the one Chris gave her, according to TMZ.
