SUPATRA 'Natty' Sausuphan was once dubbed the 'hairiest girl in the world' after suffering from excessive hair growth.
Now 25, the Thai woman from Bangkok, has revealed she has married the 'love of her life' and looks unrecognisable in new pictures.

She recently shared that she and her new partner, who are in a civil partnership, had celebrated seven months together despite publicly revealing another man as her husband in 2018.
Supatra suffers from an extremely rare genetic condition called Ambras Syndrome.
It is also known as Werewolf Syndrome, a form of hypertrichosis which causes excessive body-hair growth.
Supatra is one of a few dozen known sufferers of the condition, which has been documented since the Middle Ages.
In 2010 she held the Guinness World Record as the 'hairiest teenager' with her entire face, ears, arms, legs and back covered in thick, black hair.
But it now seems to be a thing of the past as Supatra now regularly shaves her body, minus the lush locks on her head and has done so for several years.
A selection of posts on her Facebook page reveal she's been in a loving relationship with her partner since September 2024, reports MailOnline.
One loved-up image of the couple shared on April 5 contained the English caption 'Happy Anniversary 7 months' along with a red heart emoji.
Their romance could be felt through the screen as Supatra was pictured lifting the person up in the air while staring lovingly into their eyes.
Other images on her social media show the couple embracing and spending time together at various places such as parks and social events.

Videos also show them frolicking on the beach and hanging out by waves, while one post shows them celebrating the crossover into the new year in December 2024.
It is unknown why Supatra split from her husband, but a series of cryptic posts seems to be quite telling of the broken marriage.
Alongside images and clips showing her new partner, Supatra penned statements such as: 'as free as the ocean', 'every moment is a fresh beginning' and perhaps the most telling comment of all: 'It's never too late to start again'.
Back in 2018, Supatra, who was 17 at the time, happily flaunted a man she called her 'husband' on her social media account.
Hair Loss 101
HAIR pro Samantha Cusick has revealed everything you need to know about hair loss.
Why Does Hair Loss Happen?
Hair loss can be influenced by so many factors, from genetics and hormone changes to lifestyle choices.
Stress, diet, and even hair care habits can all impact hair strength.
It's perfectly normal to lose some hair each day, but sometimes the body can shed more than usual, responding to things like hormonal shifts or even life stressors.
Why It Happens More This Time of Year
Have you ever noticed your hair seems to shed more in autumn? That's seasonal shedding!
During summer, we hold onto extra hair to protect our scalp from the sun.
As the weather cools, it's like our body recalibrates and lets go of those extra strands.
Dry, cooler air can also make hair more brittle, making it easier to lose a little extra volume during these months.
Hacks and Affordable Buys to Treat Hair loss
The great news? You don't need to spend a fortune on pricey treatments to support your hair.
Try daily scalp massages—they're so simple but really help boost blood flow to the follicles.
Castor oil is another fantastic, budget-friendly option that's rich in nutrients to strengthen your strands.
Adding a bit more protein to your diet and a biotin supplement can also work wonders for overall hair health.
Products to Avoid
Steer clear of products with high levels of alcohol, sulphates, and parabens - they can be drying and damage hair over time.
Heat styling and chemical treatments can also cause breakage, so try to use them sparingly.
Instead, look for gentle, hydrating formulas to support your scalp and keep hair healthier through the seasons.
It was thought that she had found happiness with her unnamed husband after she posted: "You're not just my first love, you're the love of my life."
But from 2024 onwards, it became clear that things had changed as she revealed a completely new lover.
I'm very used to this condition. I can't feel the hair as it has always been like this. I don't feel anything.
Saputra Sausuphan
In the past, Supatra has said that her hairiness made her feel 'special.'
"I don't feel any different to anyone else, and I've got lots of friends at school," she told Guinness World Records TV show 'Lo Show Dei Record' in Italy.
"Being hairy makes me special... this the happiest day of my life!"
However, she did reveal that other people had been negative about her appearance and she has tried methods to rid the excess hair.
It was previously reported that laser treatment failed to completely stop the hair growth, and so she took to shaving her body, her father told local media.
"There were a few people who used to tease me and call me monkey face but they don't do it anymore," said Supatra.
"I'm very used to this condition. I can't feel the hair as it has always been like this. I don't feel anything.
"It does sometimes make it difficult to see when it gets long. I hope I will be cured one day."
