Move over, Kim Kardashian. ‘90s pop star Sinead O’Connor might not have had an extravagant wedding, but she’s bested the reality starlet when it comes to marriage length. O’Connor is ending her marital union -- after just 18 days.

The Irish singer made the announcement on her website, citing her husband’s family’s dislike for her unusual ways.

“Within 3 hours of the ceremony being over the marriage was kyboshed by the behaviour of certain people in my husband's life. And also by a bit of a wild ride i took us on looking for a bit of a smoke of weed for me wedding night as I don't drink.”

The Atlantic Wire says nothing compares to this break-up announcement, calling it, quote, “delightfully bizarre.”

“That is pretty perfect, we think ... Basically she is saying that his parents were like ‘Oh hellll no’ and that she took him on a Miss Sinead's Wild Ride around Las Vegas looking for hashish and that it terrified him. She added, ‘ … Aye, 'tis only the strongest o' men what can ride with Black Sinead.’ Congratulations, everyone.”

O’Connor’s soon-to-be ex is a 38-year-old therapist. The two tied the knot December 8th, her 45th birthday -- in the back of light pink Cadillac at A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. Billboard reminds us of how their short-lived love began.

“The two met during the singer's online search for a ‘wham-bam’ sexual partner that drew much media attention several months ago.”

Indeed -- news of that search sent O’Connor back into the spotlight, coupled with photos that surfaced of the formerly fit O’Connor looking hefty in a transparent top. Crushable says -- Sinead, can’t you get it together?

“Considering how much she hates being lonely, one might think Sinead O’Connor would fight harder to keep the guy ... [because he] works as a counselor for people with addiction problems, it might not be the best move for him to publicly do things like going on a ‘wild ride’ in search of marijuana … ”

So -- seems like third time is not the charm -- O’Connor was married twice before this one, but will her music career have nine lives? She releases her ninth studio album in February. Now all we’re wondering is if she’ll rip up those wedding photos.
