Yes, platys do that a lot. Be suspicious if your ex-girlfriend does, though.

emeraldking has told us they can use stored sperm packets for up to a year.

Most female ovoviviparous livebearers (so, not all) are able to store sperm packets for over a year. All Xiphophorus breeds (where platies belong to) have this ability as well.
