American singer-songwriter Brittany Porter, known by her stage name Brooke Lynn, is seeking a "normal divorce" after claiming she was unwittingly married to a Malaysian sultan in a ceremony she assumed was simply a celebration of their engagement.
Porter, 30, claimed he first met Sultan Muhammad V of Kelantan, the former king of Malaysia, in January 2024 through mutual friends.
Muhammad V has been the 29th Sultan of Kelantan since 2010 and was also King of Malaysia from 2016 to 2019.
"We had instant chemistry and great conversation," she said, saying she was particularly drawn to his "cute" British accent. "At first we were just friends, but we started talking every day and the next thing you know," she explained.
The two began a whirlwind romance, marked by luxury trips to Asia and lavish gifts. "He took me and my friends all over the world. He was very generous, with the best hotels, giving my friends the best treatment, experiences and gifts. He loves hotels, he probably spent millions on them for our trips," Porter claimed.
However, before their first overseas trip to the Middle East last April, Porter says, the 56-year-old Sultan proposed to her.
"He asked me if I wanted to go on holiday to Oman with him... I felt like I was in a real Disney princess movie. He proposed to me straight away and gave me a blue diamond because I said I wanted it to match my eyes," she told the Daily Mail.
However, a religious ceremony was held there, which he had assumed was simply a celebration of their engagement.
"In my culture, the big ceremony is a wedding, which we planned for January 2025. So I got confused. They brought in an imam and I did the whole conversion, but he didn't teach me much about Islam... I only recently learned that a nikah constitutes a marriage under Islamic law," she explained.
At this point, she was already a married woman, despite the fact that she had not achieved her planned wedding. When they returned to Malaysia, she also claimed that she was expecting to become pregnant by a male "heir", but failed.
This, she says, led to conflict between the couple, but she went ahead with their wedding plans. After flying to the US to meet with a wedding planner, she said "he was distant from me and I panicked, so I flew back to Malaysia". But when she got there, he was nowhere to be found and she had reportedly "blocked" him on social media.
Instead of explaining where he was and what was going on, she said he “just texted my best friend saying things weren’t going to work out” and hasn’t heard from him since. Now, she says she wants a “normal divorce.”
Mohammed V has three other marriages, the first from 2004 to 2008, the second in 2010, and in 2018 he married Russian beauty queen Oksana Andreevna Voevodina. They divorced a year later when he denied paternity of the son he had given birth to.
