"Last week I got married to some guy I met on grindr…," she captioned the post. "Now, I have A LOT of strong opinions about the institution of marriage but you can hear all about those on my Strange Love tour… For now I’ll just say that I love @dougyills and I’m so happy to be his hersband".

Meanwhile, last year Yvie spoke out against the edits for her All Stars season, expressing a wish that fans "could've seen even a quarter of the REAL journey we experienced together".
"TBH my experience was pretty gruesome from the start. And while you can be assured that 'none of that will make the edit', it doesn't change anything in the moment," she said. "Going back I learned a lot about myself, as I was forced to question whether or not I fit into this specific world (even as a winner).
"But instead of showing ANY of that struggle (or really any reason for me to be there), I've been lobotomized and presented as some goofy big-dicked mascot, bravely laughing through my chronic illness, happy to be along for the ride."
Yvie added: "The only part of my truth that was shown was how the girls were my rock in this competition, and how happy it's made me to share any more of my art with you… so for that I'm truly thankful."
RuPaul's Drag Race US airs on MTV in the US and WOW Presents Plus in the UK.
