A couple has shared the ups and downs of their relationship that led them to rack up a $100k debt after filing for divorce before reconciling and renewing their wedding vows to one another.
TikTok user Brittany (@brittanyjade___) and her husband have gone viral with their videos making light of pricey turn of events when they ended up filing for divorce after nine years of marriage and were separate for a year and a half - only to get back together and renew their vows.
In one particular video, Brittany reveals she “wanted a divorce” but that her husband “didn’t want a divorce but filed first anyway.”
They ended the video by chest-bumping each other and divulged that they are in $100k debt as a result of getting back together and recently renewed their vows in a ceremony.
“Our happily ever after is paying off a divorce we never got,” Brittany explained in the video caption, “But for the record, We ALMOST have (my side) of it paid off.”

Since sharing their expensive split and reunion, the couple’s video has been viewed 6.7m times, with nearly 185,000 likes, and left some people with niggling questions in the comments section about the pair.
One person wrote: “How mad were your lawyers”
“Lol honestly not mad at all cause they still got paid for everything,“ the TikToker replied.
Meanwhile, another person asked: “What kind of divorce costs $100k?”
To which Brittany answered: “A divorce that wasn’t mutual and I was struggling really bad with addiction so there were restraining orders and a huge custody battle.”
In another video of theirs that went viral with over 10m views, the couple is sporting wedding outfits with Brittany in a white dress and her husband in a suit as they mouth the lyrics to the Taylor Swift song “Enchanted” that say “Please don’t be in love with someone else / Please don’t have somebody waiting on you.”
While their video caption reads: “When you just renewed your vows but you’ve also filed for divorce twice before.”
The post led to thousands of people commenting on the twists and turns of their relationship.
One person wrote: “I’m so curious... when you got married again did you use the same date?”
Brittany replied admitting they “never even got divorced once,” detailing that the first time around her husband filed but “he cancelled it two days later.”
Then the second time around, they filed together, were separated for a year and a half before calling off the divorce “right before it was finalised.” The TikToker added that this is their 10 year wedding anniversary vow renewal.
“When I say I want toxic love, this is what I mean,” another person wrote.
Someone else asked: “I am happy for y’all... and the trauma bond is strong in y’all.”
