Adult star Bonnie Blue has explained why she's not filed for divorce from her husband, despite the fact the childhood sweethearts are separated.
The adult performer, whose real name is Tia Billinger, claims to have slept with over 1,000 men in just 12 hours - something which is explored in her recent Channel 4 documentary, titled 1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story.
The documentary also delves into Bonnie's rise to fame as well as her controversial sex stunts, and hears from her family - including her husband Oliver Davidson - on what they make of her career.
Bonnie has previously explained that she and Oliver met when they were teenagers and got married 'very young', and despite the fact they are now separated, they remain married.

Oliver is supportive of Bonnie's career in porn, explaining in the doc: “She really connects with the fans… most people, if they do porn, they seem out of reach.
“You’re never going to meet them. You’re never going to be able to film with them. Whereas Bonnie, she puts her location online. Then her fans can actually film with her.
“Mainstream porn has been around a lot longer… but nothing’s really changed until this point. It’s a defining moment in porn. She’s completely changed the game.”
The pair split in late 2023, with Oliver insisting in an interview with The Daily Mail that it was nothing to do with her work.

"We were together a long time," Bonnie previously said.
"We just grew apart. There was no dramatic split-up or anything like that. We just grew apart naturally."
Meanwhile, speaking on the Saving Grace podcast, Bonnie revealed why the pair haven't divorced, despite the fact they're no longer together.
She said: “We’re on really good terms. He works for me now. He helps with some behind-the-scenes stuff. It is convenient. It’s handy for me.

"He’s going to get some of the money regardless. He might as well work for it. This job benefits everyone in my family, including him.
“Things have just been so busy that the divorce keeps getting put on the back-burner. The divorce has been decided. So it’s more just me being lazy with that. Like, it’s going to happen, but it’s not a ‘Oh my God, quickly, I need to to get divorced’.
"When I get the time to take the calls and sign the paperwork, I will. But it’s not a priority."
Following the release of the doc, many fans were outraged over Channel 4's decision to air sexual scenes.

One person wrote online: "Putting a documentary on tv abt bonnie blue at 10pm showing literal porn with no filter just days after the age verification thing went live is actually crazy work channel 4."
However, in a response to LADbible, Channel 4 said: "The explicit content in the documentary is editorially justified and provides essential context; making pornographic content is Bonnie’s job, and this film is about her work and the response to it.
"Crucially, the content is presented in a non-gratuitous manner and viewers will be alerted of the sexual content in a programme warning at the start to ensure they understand from the outset the nature of the programme.
"The programme was broadcast after watershed and is compliant with the Ofcom broadcasting code."
