How Many People Married And Divorced Seven Times?

Question

Looking for fictional marriage tropes where characters have multiple marriages, maybe in romance or harem novels, after watching a drama with similar themes.

RubyStar · Answer

That's pretty specific and not something you'd see in real life often, outside of wild tabloid stories. It's a common trope in some dramatic fiction, though, where a character's repeated marriages are used to show their search for something or a cycle they can't escape. A book I read recently, 'Married Twice, Loved Once', actually plays with a much more grounded version of that idea—it's about a woman who enters a second marriage of convenience, and the whole story hinges on the unresolved feelings and complex history with her first husband. It makes the stakes of just two marriages feel huge.

I once read about a woman who married seven times—each husband died under mysterious circumstances. Turns out, she was a black widow! But barring true crime scenarios, multiple marriages usually stem from optimism or impulsivity. My aunt married three times and says she’d ‘rather be alone than settle,’ which I respect. But seven? At that point, it’s less about love and more about collecting exes like Pokémon cards.

Seven marriages sounds like a sitcom premise. Imagine the custody battles, the blended families, the awkward Thanksgiving dinners. Realistically, it’s a fringe thing—less than 0.1% of people, probably. But it’s fun to speculate: Are they romantics or commitment-phobes? Either way, their life story would be a wild read.

Seven marriages? That’s not love—that’s a full-time job! I can’t imagine the paperwork alone. The closest I’ve seen is celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor, who famously married eight times. But for regular people? It’s practically unheard of. Most of us learn after the first divorce that maybe we should slow down. Then again, some people treat relationships like trial runs, which feels equal parts brave and exhausting.

Honestly, I’m more curious about the why than the how many. Were they addicted to weddings? Terrified of being alone? Or just terrible at compatibility? It’s a fascinating glimpse into how differently people approach commitment. If I ever meet a seven-time divorcé, I’m buying them a coffee and taking notes.

Seven divorces? That’s a lot of alimony checks. I’ve only known one person who married four times, and even that felt excessive. Statistically, it’s so rare that it barely registers—most people don’t hit double digits in relationships, let alone legal marriages. It makes me think of that guy in the Bible who married seven times (and none of it worked out). Some patterns just don’t change.

Marrying and divorcing seven times is incredibly rare—I’ve never met someone who’s done it, but I’ve heard wild stories. Most folks settle down after a couple of tries, but there’s always that one person who treats marriage like a revolving door. It makes me wonder about the emotional toll; seven heartbreaks (or seven messy splits) sounds exhausting. Maybe they’re chasing an ideal that doesn’t exist, or maybe they just love the drama. Either way, I’d need a spreadsheet to keep track of all those exes.

Statistically, it’s a tiny fraction of the population. The average person divorces once or twice, if at all. Seven marriages feels like something out of a soap opera—like 'Days of Our Lives' on steroids. I’d love to hear the backstory of someone who’s lived that life. Were they hopeless romantics or just terrible at picking partners? Either way, it’s a cautionary tale about love’s unpredictability.

Let's not forget fanfiction. In fanfic, especially for long-running series, characters can be put through endless romantic permutations. A popular 'divorced AU' trope for a beloved couple might involve them divorcing and remarrying multiple times in different timelines or stories. The number seven could come from a famous fanfic series or a meme within a fandom. For example, in the 'Sherlock' fandom, there are probably dozens of AUs where John and Mary divorce and remarry in various configurations. Seven might be a number used humorously in a fanfic title or summary.

You know, this might be from a children's book or a young adult novel in a metaphorical way. A kid learning about their grandparent's many marriages could be a framing device for stories about different eras. The number seven could be exaggerated to make a point about the grandparent's adventurous or tumultuous life. It would be a way to teach history or empathy. Something like 'The Seven Wives of Baba Yaga'? No, that's not it. But the concept of seven significant relationships could be simplified for a younger audience as 'seven marriages.'

Seven times? Good grief, that's a full-time job just dealing with the paperwork. I can't think of a single character who's done that, but it immediately makes me think of someone like Zsa Zsa Gabor in real life—she was married nine times, I think. In fiction, maybe a character in a soap opera or a telenovela could rack up those numbers over decades of plotlines. It's the kind of outrageous backstory you'd give a flamboyant, wealthy socialite character for comedic effect. If you're writing something, it's a great hook! But as for finding an existing story with that exact count, I'm stumped. Could be an urban legend or an internet meme.

You know, this reminds me of a character from the game 'The Sims'. You could easily create a Sim who marries and divorces seven townies if you're playing a certain way, but that's not canonical storytelling. In published narrative fiction, that level of marital chaos is rare because it's hard to write convincingly without it becoming a parody. It might exist in a satirical novel about modern relationships or a hyper-stylized noir story where the detective has a new ex-wife in every chapter. I'd look into cult classic authors known for absurdist humor, like Christopher Moore or Tom Robbins. They might have a character like that.

CozyCat · Answer

No clue. But this whole thread has been a delight to read through. The sheer variety of guesses—from the Bible to soap operas to video games—shows how one bizarre question can tap into our collective knowledge and imagination. Even without a definitive answer, we've explored a hundred different stories and possibilities. That's what makes community discussions like this so great. You all have fantastic minds, and I'm just here enjoying the ride. Let me know if there's a breakthrough!
