Santa may have brought one reality star her gift early this year.
Courtney Stodden, who famously married actor Doug Hutchison when she was 16 and he was 51, was seen Christmas tree shopping this weekend with a mystery man.
Stodden and Hutchinson confirmed they were splitting up in early November. They signed official separation papers on November 9.
The mystery man isn’t a complete mystery. E! Online revealed that his name is Ray and he is a model/actor and according to one source he is “one of many suitors that have approached Courtney” since her split from Hutchison. Mystery man Ray’s age is still unknown.
It seems that their trip to finding the perfect Christmas tree was also the couple’s first date. “They had a nice time. He’s a really nice guy and he’s already planning their second date,” added the source.
The now 19-year-old Stodden tweeted about her venture to shop for a Christmas tree, but made no mention of Ray.
Went Christmas Tree shopping today! Wooooo

One person tweeted out a photo of the couple while they were shopping for a Christmas tree.

The Celebrity Big Brother UK star and Hutchison tried to work out their problems this past summer. At the time the two were featured on Couples Therapy, but it seems their biggest problem was the 35-year age difference between the two.
At the time of their separation, the couple continued to live together and agreed that Hutchison would still be involved in Stodden’s career. This may all change now that Ray is in Stodden’s life.
I guess the newly brunette Stodden prefers her men closer to her age than blonde Stodden.
And it looks like Stodden’s new brown locks are approved by one very happy fan.
