DWTS' Carrie Ann Inaba makes unexpected marriage confession ahead of TV return
Carrie Ann Inaba is living her best life, and she's not afraid to let people know about it!
The Dancing with the Stars judge made a rather surprising - but powerful - comment about marriage in response to Chelsea Handler's recent Instagram post, which saw the comedy star talking about marrying herself.
The former Talk host was one of the first to respond to Chelsea's post, admitting: "I have married myself and then divorced then remarried, then separated, the took a mini break and the found myself and then eloped in a Vegas themed ceremony. Lol.
"But honestly… I have come to believe this may be the way.Im so much more at peace now that I have committed to myself. Love this … keep it up."
Carrie is currently single, but over the years her love life has certainly made headlines.
She began dating DWTS pro Artem Chigvintsev in 2006 and the pair were together for three years. When they split, Carrie opened up about the dancer, calling him a "fine gentleman", and admitting that their split was amicable.

The star got engaged again in December 2016, to Days of Our Lives actor Robb Derringer. They called it off after nine months.
