Tiffany Haddish turned a girls’ trip into a personal milestone when she married herself during a private ceremony in Africa, aiming to embrace self-accountability and inner growth.
The Emmy-winning actress and comedian, 45, staged the symbolic wedding while filming her upcoming Peacock docuseries, Tiffany Haddish Goes Off, set to premiere Thursday (November 13). The six-part series follows Haddish and her childhood friends—Selena Martin, Shermona Long and Sparkle Clark—through Zimbabwe and Cape Town, South Africa. The trip wasn’t just for adventure. Haddish used the journey to reflect on her personal challenges and renew her commitment to herself. The self-marriage comes after a turbulent stretch for Haddish, including two DUI-related arrests in 2022 and 2023.
In 2024, she also drew backlash on social media after posting a TikTok video expressing surprise at finding a grocery store in Zimbabwe. Some viewed the clip as culturally tone-deaf. Haddish also faced criticism online after visiting Israel in early 2024, stating it was an “educational trip” to learn firsthand about the aftermath of the October 7 attacks and the ongoing conflict.
