It's over between Jenna Jameson and Jessi Lawless.

After less than a year of marriage, Lawless filed for annulment in April 2024. She announced the news on Instagram — stating that Jameson's drinking was the root cause of their split.

The former adult film star and Lawless tied the knot in Las Vegas on May 23, 2023, after dating for roughly five months.

"I found the person that I truly should have always been with," Jameson told PEOPLE in June 2023. "I try to go over in my mind why I ever dated or married men, and it's selfish and bad to say, but I think my driving force [was] children."

Similar to Jameson, Lawless is no stranger to the public eye. The entrepreneur, a retired hairstylist who goes back to her former trade for charity events these days, also doubles as a social media personality. Lawless is active on Instagram and TikTok, garnering nearly two million followers on both platforms combined.

Lawless is an Alabama native who grew up in a small town before moving to Florida when she was 17 years old. She lived there for 22 years before moving to Las Vegas, where she currently resides with her wife.

Although Lawless was born in Alabama, she and the Sunshine State go back even further. "I was conceived in Panama City Beach, Spring Break 1982 after my mother won a bikini contest," Lawless told PEOPLE with a laugh.

Prior to her Las Vegas move, Lawless — nicknamed "Flawless Lawless" — worked as a barber in Cocoa Beach, where she in part used her craft to host charity events to give back. In addition to her work as a barber, she hosts her own podcast (titled, Born Lawless) and is a part-owner of Savage Sip Coffee.

She has a huge following on TikTok

Lawless has racked up quite the following on social media, with nearly 2 million followers across TikTok and Instagram. Per her website, she is known online for her "unapologetic approach to life advice and has built a reputation for resilience & tenacity."

Lawless — who posts a variety of content ranging from blunt (yet motivational) pep talks to comedic lifestyle videos — "hopes to inspire her audience to overcome adversity through positivity & determination."

TikTok has a special meaning to both Lawless and Jameson, as the former adult star found the social media personality star when scrolling, then Jameson wound up contacting her on her Instagram page.

Lawless admitted to PEOPLE that it took her a moment to realize who Jameson was. "Who is this Jenna Can't Lose?" she recalls reading the star's social media handle. "It's Jenna f------ Jameson. Oh my God. All right, get your s--- together."

Jameson added: "I was crushing on Jessi for a long time because she's quite large on TikTok and I love TikTok. I just scroll at night when I'm trying to calm down, and I just loved her perspective on things, I related to it. So I just started mass commenting her trying to get her attention, and it seemed to have worked."

Her dad walked Jameson down the aisle

Lawless and Jameson tied the knot at Little Church of the West in Nevada, the same place the former model's parents exchanged vows. The newlyweds have plans to throw a bigger wedding in the future, but for now, Lawless told PEOPLE they "run and gunned it." She added, "Very Las Vegas."

Only a few people in the pair's inner circle were in attendance at the intimate Vegas ceremony. Lawless told PEOPLE that her father was there and "walked Jenna down the aisle [since] her father passed away."

"I was standing up there waiting for her, and I looked at the back of the church and I saw her standing there and I looked at my dad and I said, 'Dad.' And he looked over at me and I said, 'Go walk Jenna down the aisle right now,'" Lawless explained.

In a video on Instagram, Lawless revealed that she'd filed to annul her marriage to Jameson.

"There are a lot of rumors going around that Jenna and I are getting a divorce. And I'm making this video to confirm that," she said before explaining that Jameson had relapsed, causing their split. "I told her at the beginning of our relationship that I was drawing a hard line and that drinking had led to so many problems in her life that I would not tolerate it at all under any circumstances."

The former barber continued: "Maybe I shouldn't have had such high expectations. I'm sure you'll see this, Jenna. I love you with all of my heart. And I really hope the best for you."

Jameson seemingly responded to Lawless' video when she wrote, "I keep it classy," on her Instagram Story.
