Tiffany Haddish has opened up about the impact of ‘marrying’ herself on her dating life.
The actress held a ‘self-marriage’ ceremony where she walked down the aisle and vowed to herself. This unconventional step was taken to strengthen her independence and confidence, and aimed at helping her set boundaries in future relationships.
Haddish has been committed to her self-marriage by taking solo trips, a practice she has embraced since her ceremony.
In a recent update, Haddish candidly discussed how her dating life has evolved since she embraced this unique form of self-love.
So, what effect have her self-nuptials had on her interactions with potential partners?
Things appear to be going well.
Speaking with PEOPLE, Haddish said: “Since I married myself, my dating life has been amazing.”
The Girls Trip star elaborated on how her self-marriage has contributed to this positive change.
She stated: “First of all, I’m never alone, never alone. And it’s been a lot easier because I have boundaries now. We have limits. And these men have to fall in line with what our requirements are.”
But what specific requirements has she established since marrying herself?
“They gotta have a good credit score because they need to be responsible. When I’m responsible, they need to be responsible,” she noted.
She clarified that having a good credit score doesn’t equate to being wealthier than her.
“I don’t need you to have more than me, it’s okay if you have less than, but you better have that credit score right,” she continued. “That’s your grown-up report card.”
Haddish also intends to treat herself to a solo Thanksgiving trip.
“My plan this year [for Thanksgiving] is to go to the Bahamas,” Haddish announced.
“Normally, I serve the homeless, and I’m making collard greens and mashed potatoes and all kinds of stuff. But not this year. This year, I’m taking me. I’m married, so we are going out on a little trip. A little married trip. A solo married trip.”
The idea of self-marriage first came to Haddish in 2018 during an unsatisfactory relationship.
“I was like, ‘I’ll be my husband. I could take care of me better than you could,'” she shared with USA Today.
