Well, we all have our quirks. And this woman decided to follow her passion, to say the least. It’s an age-old divorce story. This marriage didn’t work, so after 10 years, this woman ditched what seems to be a pretty awful husband and got a pet that her ex had banned her from owning.
From the picture, yes, it’s a pig. Gayle Thompson, 33, bought a baby pig, which has grown into a 50-pound beast. Ms. Thompson is now thinking about opening a little farm. Does this shock her family? Nope. She’s always been an animal lover (via NY Post):
Freshly divorced, the 33-year-old Nashville native traded in her messy husband for an even messier pig pen. In November 2025, Thompson welcomed eight-week-old Daisy — a tiny nine-pound piglet.
“I traded one pig for another,” Thompson said.
The divorcee says finalizing the split was the moment she decided to do something just for herself — securing the baby pig. Rolling in the mud, Daisy quickly grew into the center of her world.
“My ex-husband always told me I couldn’t have a pet pig,” Thompson said. “So when the divorce was settled, getting my dream pig was the best way to start my new life.”
Thompson is even planning to build a mini farm, where she aims to finally get her fairytale ending her marriage never did — even if it comes with a pigsty.
Now at 4 months old and weighing in at 50 pounds, Daisy has her own bed, toys and litter box — she even gets the weekly ride to her local spot.

Despite raised eyebrows from strangers, the freshly divorced Thompson said her family wasn’t surprised in the slightest. Thompson was always an animal lover, helping rehabilitate injured creatures since she was a child.
Mmmmmmm bacon — I mean, how nice that Ms. Thompson got her dream pet after what seems like an awful marriage.
