Charley Hull Opens Up About Her Past
Charley Hull, known for her candid nature, recently shared insights into a personal chapter of her life that has remained largely private. During a conversation on Jason Day’s YouTube channel, The Lads, Hull discussed her previous marriage to MMA fighter Ozzie Smith, which ended in a challenging divorce four years ago.
A Wedding to Remember
Hull’s wedding was a grand affair, attended by nearly 1,000 guests, reflecting the cultural traditions of her ex-husband’s Romani gypsy heritage. Despite the large gathering, Hull’s marriage to Smith, which began on September 21, 2019, in Burton Latimer, North Northamptonshire, soon took a toll on her well-being.
Life in a Caravan
During her marriage, Hull lived in a caravan, embracing aspects of the Romani lifestyle. Although she didn’t travel extensively, she learned some of the Romani language, picking up phrases like ‘jellon mush’ and ‘kek’. These experiences, however, did not interfere with her golf career.
Struggles and Strength
Hull’s relationship with Smith quickly deteriorated, leading to a controlling and manipulative environment. Despite these personal challenges, Hull continued to excel on the LPGA Tour, achieving top-10 finishes in major tournaments. Golf became her refuge during this tumultuous time.
ADHD Diagnosis and Coping Mechanisms
In 2023, Hull was diagnosed with ADHD, a condition she manages through structured routines and playing golf. Initially, she struggled with medication, which led her to smoking as an alternative. Hull has since addressed these issues, finding balance in her life.
Reflections and Resilience
Hull’s revelations provide a deeper understanding of her resilience and strength. Her candid reflections offer a glimpse into a challenging period that has shaped her into the person she is today.
