A woman who has splashed out $200,000 (£134,000) in the past 10 years on her puppets has revealed how her fiance made her choose between him and them.
Ventriloquist April Brucker, who lives in New York City, broke up with her partner after he gave her the ultimatum – and she picked the dummies.
The 30-year-old revealed that she considers her 16 puppets – who even have their own bedroom - to be her children, and she lives alone with them in her apartment.She buys the puppets clothes, airfares – and dreams of touring the world with them.
'They are like my children,' she said. 'Yes, they are expensive, but if they need things, they need things.'I will go without clothes for them. I'm a parent – that's what you do.
She said her relationship failed when her fiancé – who she doesn't want to name - said her dolls were 'weird'.
