The facilitator Jen Hamilton confirmed that she is quitting her nursing job due to separation from her husband, Brian Hamilton.
“I’m taking time off from work, which I never wanted, never wanted,” Jen, 37, announced in a vlog on Monday, June 29. “My patients don’t deserve the state of mind I can bring to the bedside right now. One second, I’m fine. The next second, I’m not fine.”
According to her website, Jen has worked as an ER and obstetrics nurse for over a decade, specializing in helping mothers with childbirth.
“I don’t know when those times are [of not being OK] and my patients deserve better than that,” she said. Just know that I am a cheating mother, not only to my children but to myself.”

On June 15, Jen fought back tears in a TikTok vlog where she revealed that she had split from husband Brian.
“I feel ashamed and I feel exposed and sad, I feel everything you’re probably feeling,” he shared with fans. “My announcers said I should do the speech ‘when I’m ready.’ 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.”
He then shared a statement with Brian, thus confirming the breakup.
“Yes, we are separating,” their joint statement read. “This comes with great pain for both of us, but also gratitude for 15 years of shared history, love, and friendship. We are committed to loving each other well in this transition and putting the well-being of the family we have created at the center.”
Host Jen Hamilton and her husband, Brian, have been open about their relationship over the years. The couple exchanged vows in 2012, before welcoming sons Ellis and Luke. In June 2026, Jen – who sparked speculation that the couple had called it quits – shared her side of the story on where they stand. […]
The Hamiltons continued, “We hope that our different paths will create space and space for each other’s mental healing. We are still determined to be a team. We even wrote this together (and without chatgpt). We both want to be very clear. This was not about falling in love. That’s why this is so devastating. It was about seeing complex things and sometimes it can give you a very loving person. That’s exactly what we do.”
In that video, Jen promised fans she was “going to be okay” – but compared the breakup to the pain of childbirth in a subsequent vlog.
“It feels like work,” Jen said in a June 20 video.
HGTV couple Jen and Brandon Hatmaker’s 2020 split and subsequent divorce rocked both of their worlds. Former Your Big Family Renovation host Jen surprised fans in July 2020 by announcing that her family “was a little bit out of the textbook and didn’t have a single clue of how to navigate this in private, let alone public” as she split up.

I Birthday Vibes The author continued, “The thing that annoys me right now — which I know shouldn’t annoy me, but I wish there was something stable that I could rely on — is how loose my emotions are right now. Because I can wake up feeling good again, do things and do things and feel like a boss and someone says something and I just fall apart.”
In Monday’s vlog, Jen made it clear that she will continue to focus on Brian despite how their marriage ended.
“Even after everything that has happened, I don’t have any hatred, I don’t have a bad heart, I want him to find himself,” he explained. “I want him to be the best version of himself that he’s ever been. I’ll be his biggest cheerleader as he’s on that journey.”
Jen then vowed, “I will also be my own great cheer leader. I will model for my children what it means to have healthy relationships, healthy self-esteem and allowing those we love most in this world to accept and accept the gift of accountability and the outcome of the choices we make in this life.”
