After breaking up with Lasinio, Cossey met Elias Fattal, a businessman, who was unaware of her history until he proposed marriage on St. Valentine's Day 1988. When she told him, rather than rejecting her, Fattal merely asked if she would convert to Judaism. She agreed.[1] They were married on 21 May 1989, which was weeks after the European Court of Human Rights decided legally to recognise Tula as a woman.

awww yisss, good for them:))

They returned from their honeymoon to find that the News of the World had published a story on their wedding, which led Fattal to seek an annulment.

wtf

That outing is appalling. Good on Cossey for surviving it and continuing on.

Wow, that is awesome

Edit: just looked up some of her modeling photos, she's gorgeous! I should be so lucky.
