I used to have to carry wood, feed the cows and pigs and farm animals ''. Personal life He reportedly married model Genevieve Gallen on February 22, 2004, but filed for an annulment the next day. Though the couple 's engagement was widely reported, Troyer and his attorney deny that the two ever had any formal wedding plans, saying that Gallen had fabricated the story for her own financial gain. On June 25, 2008, a private home video leaked of Troyer and his former live - in girlfriend, Ranae Shrider, having sex. The video, filmed in 2008 in Beverly Hills, California, and Shrider 's hometown of Fort Cobb, Oklahoma, was leaked to the public by Shrider and TMZ.
