Trigger Serial bride had 8 husbands at same time
A busty
Bronx woman went on a decade-long bridal binge — and was married to as many as
eight men at once, court papers revealed on Thursday.
Liana
Barrientos turned walking down the aisle into an Olympic sport, getting hitched
10 times since 1999, including one stretch in 2002 when she said “I do” five
times.
The
38-year-old blonde had collected six husbands before the first one filed for
divorce in 2002. She added three more before the second one dumped her in 2003.
Prosecutors
haven’t said why Barrientos is so marriage-mad.
“The motive
was definitely not love,” one source said.
Her most
recent nuptials came on March 4, 2010.
Barrientos
is accused of falsifying official records. She allegedly claimed in documents
for her 2010 wedding that she had never been married before.
And she told
an investigator from the Bronx District Attorney’s Office that her exchange of
vows with a man named Salle Keita “was her first and only marriage,” court
papers charge.
Barrientos
also allegedly submitted different variations of her name in marriage papers,
omitting or abbreviating her middle name or changing spellings.
She was
busted Oct. 1 on two felony counts of offering a false instrument for filing.
She is due back in court Friday.
Barrientos’
apparent fondness for marriage runs counter to sentiments she expressed on Twitter.
A Bronx DA
spokeswoman declined to say if other charges, such as bigamy, would be filed,
or if any of her hubbies would be charged.
In addition
to those men, Barrientos has two baby daddies. One of them, Carlos Garcia,
kicked her out of his Bronx apartment a few weeks ago, the building’s super
said.
“She was
arrested . . . and he doesn’t want her back,” Ruben George told The Post. “They
have a kid together. She has one with him and one with somebody else.”
Garcia,
whose daughter with Barrientos is about 4 months old, didn’t answer a knock on
his door.
Barrientos’
lawyer, Chris Wright, declined to comment.
