The shortest marriage in Hollywood belongs to Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman. The couple tied the knot on November 14, 1998, but their marriage only lasted nine days. Rodman filed for an annulment just nine days after their wedding, claiming that he was intoxicated when they said their vows.
Although their marriage was short-lived, it took a full year for the annulment to be finalized. During that time, the couple made several attempts to reconcile, but to no avail. Electra has since commented that the whole experience was a “very bizarre time” in her life.
The couple’s nine-day marriage was the shortest in Hollywood, although there have been several other celebrity marriages that have lasted less than a year. Britney Spears and Jason Alexander, for example, were married for just 55 hours in 2004. And, in 2006, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries were married for just 72 days.
The shortest marriage in Hollywood may have been between Electra and Rodman, but it certainly wasn’t the most scandalous. The couple’s relationship was relatively low-key compared to some of the other celebrity marriages that have ended in divorce.
In the end, Electra and Rodman’s nine-day marriage was a blip on the radar of Hollywood’s celebrity marriages. Although it was short-lived, it serves as a reminder that even the most unlikely of couples can find themselves in a whirlwind romance.
