At the end of the show, "millionaire" Rick Rockwell chose Conger to be his wife and married her on the spot. In addition to being wed to Rockwell, Conger also won a 3-carat (600 mg) diamond ring and more than $100,000 in prizes. After the honeymoon, it was announced that Conger was seeking an annulment, saying Rockwell had misrepresented himself.[6] The annulment was finalized on April 5, 2000. Conger was the focus of media attention for not only winning the "contest" but also for getting an annulment so quickly after the marriage. After the show aired, Conger made numerous public comments about how she was offended by Rockwell's forcibly kissing her on stage, that they never consummated their marriage, and how the entire episode went against her morals.[7] She then posed nude for Playboy magazine in August 2000.[2] In February 2001, Conger and Rockwell appeared on The Larry King Show and sparred over comments each of them had made about the other, but Conger also said that she should not have appeared on the program at all and was harsh in her statements about Rockwell. Later lifeConger faced Olga Korbut on an episode of Celebrity Boxing which aired on May 22, 2002. Conger won by unanimous decision.[1][8] She later married physician assistant Jim Arellano in 2003,[9] with whom she had one son, Cassius, who was later diagnosed with autism. They divorced in 2009 and she and her son live in Northern California while she works as a nurse anesthetist.[10] References1. ^1 2 {{cite episode |title=Celebrity Boxing 2 |series=Celebrity Boxing |network = FOX|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Oavrvkq9Lo&t=2m6s|airdate=May 22, 2002}} 2. ^1 {{cite book|author=Napoleon, Dr. Anthony |year=2003|title=Awakening Beauty: An Illustrated Look at Mankind's Love and Hatred of Beauty|page=60|publisher=Virtualbookworm.com|isbn=1589393783}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book|author=Huff, Richard M. |year=2006|title=Reality Television|pages=133–134|publisher=Praeger |isbn=0275981703}} 4. ^1 St. Louis – Best Of – Best Local Girl Made Bad – Darva Conger (2000), riverfronttimes.com; accessed November 23, 2017. 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20133317,00.html|title = Darva Conger: A Wrong Turn at the Altar Led to Wedding Bell Blues—and a Silver Lining|accessdate = 2015-04-02|author = |date = 2000-12-25|publisher = People/Time Inc.}} 6. ^{{cite book|author=Hallenbeck-Huber, Marjorie |year=2010|title=Celebrities' Most Wanted: The Top 10 Book of Lavish Lifestyles, Tabloid Tidbits, and Other Superstar Oddities|publisher=Potomac Books Inc|isbn=1597975109}} 7. ^{{cite book | last=Oppliger | first=Patrice | author-link = Patrice Oppliger | title = Girls gone skank: the sexualization of girls in American culture | year = 2008 | publisher = McFarland and Company Inc., Publishers | location = Jefferson, North Carolina | page = 156 | isbn = 9780786435227 }} 8. ^{{cite book|last1=Sagert |first1=Kelly Boyer |last2=Overman |first2=Steven J.|year=2006|title=Icons of Women's Sport |page=320|publisher=Greenwood |isbn=0313385483}} 9. ^{{cite web|url =http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2002/Nov-24-Sun-2002/news/20123268.html|title = NORM!: Conger back in Vegas for bachelorette party|accessdate = 2007-06-29|author = Norm Clarke|date = 2002-11-24|publisher = Las Vegas Review-Journal}} 10. ^{{cite web|url =http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20426034,00.html|title = Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?
