The facilitator Jen Hamilton she talks about the pain of her ongoing divorce from her estranged husband Brian Hamilton and why the experience reminds her of childbirth.
“It feels overwhelming,” Jen said of her breakup in a video titled “Breakup Vlog” shared on TikTok on Saturday, June 20. “You’ll be fine for a minute and then contractions! And the other thing about this and working out is you never know when it’s going to end.”
Hamilton, who confirmed that Brian’s marriage was over on Tuesday, June 16, then showed off his chickens while filming in his chicken coop – a way, he said, to feel normal during his divorce.
“People say, ‘Jen, it’s okay to take a break.’ This is the only thing that feels normal to me right now – telling you any random thought that pops into my head,” he said. “Which gets me into trouble sometimes, I know.”
He continued, “But I also want to be able to write where I’ve been and where I’m going and where I am. The thing that annoys me right now — which I know shouldn’t annoy me, but I wish I had something to rely on — is the looseness of my emotions right now. Because I can wake up feeling good, like, I’ve done things and done things and I just say something down and mention it like a boss.”

I Birthday Vibes The author quickly sparked speculation that her marriage was ending after she shared a viral video of herself crying. Later, when she confirmed her breakup with Brian, the social media star gave a statement to her fans and admitted that she was disappointed to release the video of her crying.
“I feel ashamed and I feel exposed and sad, I feel everything you’re probably feeling,” she said at the time. “My announcers said I should do the ‘when I’m ready’ speech.” There is no readiness. But there’s already been a lot of headlines about it, so I might as well just rip off the Band-Aid and put it out there in the air.”
She continued later in the announcement video: “I’m so embarrassed that I put a video of myself crying on the Internet and I shouldn’t have done that. It was a moment of incredible pain. And I just wanted someone to tell me that I’m going to be okay. There’s no part of me that thinks I’m famous enough to end up in People magazine or the New York Post because of something that happened inside me and that’s what happened inside me and now that’s what’s happening in my life. Of, like the real-time pain I’m feeling, I have to deal with that part of it all.”
On Saturday, Jen thanked the people who were in her corner as she continued to look into her divorce, revealing that she had been in contact with her estranged husband.
“My sweet mom brought pancakes and she’s folding my laundry right now, which is so sweet,” she said. “I have good people around me, I talked to them [Brian] this morning and he is recovering and doing well.”
