Influencer Jen Hamilton and her husband, Brian, have been candid about their relationship through the years.
The couple exchanged vows in 2012, before welcoming sons Ellis and Luke. In June 2026, Jen — who sparked speculation that the pair had called it quits — shared her side of the story on where they stand in an emotional TikTok.
“He is my bestest friend still. There’s no meanness, there’s no yelling, there’s no animosity between the two of us. I want him to win. I want him to be the very, very best version of himself, one that he’s never even seen before. I feel like sometimes we can hold each other back from truly healing from the stuff we need to heal from,” she said, in part.

August 2012
The pair tied the knot inside of a church. In 2025, Jen reflected on their nuptials with a series of intimate photos.
“On August 4, it will be 13 years,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “It hasn’t always been awesome or fun and there was even a time we didn’t think we were going to make it. But I’m grateful for mending our family and sticking it out. Social media is fake. Don’t believe people who act like they have it all together. No one does. ❤️.”
March 2022
In a TikTok, Jen replied to a fan’s question about how she “got through” her separation. “[Brian] and I were separated and it was not a fun time — bad news — but also the best thing that ever happened to us,” she said.
June 2026
After sparking speculation that she and Brian had split, Jen broke her silence in an emotional video.
“I’m feeling embarrassed and feeling exposed and feeling sad, feeling every single thing you probably possibly feel. My publicists say that I should make a statement ‘when I’m ready.’ There is no being ready. But there’s already been a bunch of articles about it, so I might as well just rip the Band-Aid off and put it out there in the wind,” she said in a TikTok at the time, explaining that she wanted to write her own statement. “I wanted it to be something that we came up with together. And I called him and that’s what we did,” she added. “So I’m going to show you what we wrote together and then I’m gonna add some things [of] my own.”
The statement was then displayed on the screen behind her.
“Yes, we are separating,” it read. “This comes with enormous pain for the both of us but also gratitude for the 15 years of shared history, love, and friendship. What we are committed to is loving each other well through this transition and placing the wellbeing of the family we created at the center.”
The statement continued, “We are hoping our paths diverging in physical location will make space and room for mental healing for the other. We still are committed to being a team. We even wrote this together (and without chatgpt). We both want to be very clear. This wasn’t about falling out of love. That’s why this is so devastating. It was about recognizing that sometimes the most loving thing you can do is give someone space to figure out complex things. And that’s exactly what we are doing.”
