Supattra Sasupan, who once gained global recognition for her exceptional body hair growth, has announced her marriage in a heartwarming social media post.
The 25-year-old Thai woman revealed that she has been in a civil partnership with her partner for seven months through photos shared on Facebook.
While her partner’s name remains private, the photos on her page show the couple kissing, cuddling and enjoying romantic moments together at parks and social events.

This isn’t Supattra’s first public romance – in 2018, she made headlines when she announced her marriage to an unnamed man on social media. “You’re not just my first lover, you’re the love of my life,” she wrote.
Though the timeline of that relationship’s end remains unclear, Supattra began sharing photos with her current partner last year.

Supattra first captured worldwide attention in 2010 when she was awarded the Guinness World Record for being the world’s hairiest teenager. She was born with hypertrichosis – or werewolf syndrome – which causes excessive hair growth on her face and body.
Growing up with the condition wasn’t always easy. As a child, Supattra faced bullying at school, with some classmates calling her “monkey face” and “wolf girl”.
Despite these challenges, she developed a positive outlook. “I don’t feel any different to anyone else and I’ve got lots of friends at school. Being hairy makes me special,” she previously said.
“I’m very used to this condition. I can’t feel the hair as it has always been like this. It does sometimes make it difficult to see when it gets long. I hope I will be cured one day.”
Despite numerous laser treatments and shaving attempts, Supattra’s hair continued to grow throughout her youth. However, recent photos with her new partner show a noticeable change in her appearance, with significantly less visible facial hair – a new look to go with her new love, perhaps.
