Why She Is In the News
On June 13, 2026, Hamilton posted a 67-second video of herself visibly crying on X (formerly Twitter) . The caption read: “Day 1: absolutely devastated. Please don’t try to reach out to anybody on my behalf. That would make everything so much worse for me. Please just let me grieve. My heart is absolutely shattered. ‘He broke my heart but I still love him with all the pieces'” .
In the video, through tears, she said: “I just want the healed version of myself to come and tell me that it’s going to be okay. I need me. I need me in like a year, and me in five years to tell me that I’m not gonna feel like this forever” . She also shared a heartbreaking exchange with her son Luke, who asked: “Are you gonna cry all the time?” She replied, “I hope not, buddy” .
When one follower commented that “divorce is hard,” Hamilton replied cryptically: “I’ve just never been enough for him” .

Neither Jen nor Brian has publicly confirmed or denied the rumors, though Hamilton has not walked back her comment.
Major Event or Controversy

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” . The post included wedding photos and showed Hamilton getting her makeup done before the ceremony.
