Beth Ditto & Kristin Ogata

Being in a relationship with your best friend can be very fulfilling. When you break up, as was the case with Beth Ditto and Kristin Ogata, it can also be painful. These two had been married from 2013 to 2018, but their romantic wedding in Hawaii ended up with visits to the lawyer’s office soon enough. It was quite heartbreaking considering they waited for same-sex marriage to be legalized in Oregon before they got married there for the second time (the first being in Hawaii).

At one point, during an interview in 2017, Ditto realized that being married to someone who is not white and an LGBT posed a threat due to the political climate at the time. This could have been one reason why they split. Nonetheless, Ditto is happy now and is in a relationship with an openly transgender man, Ted Kwo.
