Influencer Jen Hamilton confirmed that she is stepping away from her nursing job amid her separation from estranged husband, Brian Hamilton.
“I’m taking some time off of work, which is something that I never, ever wanted,” Jen, 37, announced in a vlog on Monday, June 29. “My patients do not deserve the mental state that I would bring to the bedside right now. One moment, I’m OK. The next moment, I’m not OK.”
Per her website, Jen has worked as an ER and obstetrics nurse for more than a decade, specializing in helping mothers through giving birth.
“I don’t know when those moments [of not being OK] are and my patients deserve so much better than that,” she said. “There is so much happening that is so complicated that I wish that I could share right now and I cannot. Just know that I am being a kickass mom, not just to my children but to myself.”

On June 15, Jen fought back tears in a TikTok vlog where she revealed she’d separated from husband Brian.
“I’m feeling embarrassed and feeling exposed and feeling sad, feeling every single thing you probably possibly feel,” she shared with followers. “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 subsequently shared a joint statement with Brian, thereby confirming the split.
“Yes, we are separating,” their joint statement 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.”
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 […]
The Hamiltons went on, “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.”
In that video, Jen promised fans that she was “gonna be alright” — but she compared the separation to the pain of childbirth in a subsequent vlog.
“It feels like labor,” Jen said in a June 20 video. “You’ll be OK for a minute and here comes a contraction! And another thing about this and labor is I don’t know when it’s going to end.”
HGTV couple Jen and Brandon Hatmaker’s 2020 split and subsequent divorce rocked both of their worlds. Former Your Big Family Renovation host Jen stunned fans in July 2020 by announcing that her family was “in a moment with no handbook and without a single clue how to navigate this privately, much less publicly” as she split […]
The Birth Vibes author continued, “The thing that is annoying me right now — that I know it shouldn’t be annoying to me, but I wish that I had something stable to count on — is the labileness of my feelings right now. Because I can wake feeling OK and, like, do stuff and get stuff done and feel like a boss and then somebody mentions something and I’m just a puddle on the floor.”
In Monday’s vlog, Jen made it clear that she will continue to root for Brian despite how their marriage ended.
“Even after everything that has happened, I have no animosity, no ill will. I want him to find himself,” she explained. “I want him to be the bestest version of himself that he’s ever been. I’m gonna be his biggest cheerleader as he is on that journey.”
Jen then vowed, “I’m also going to be my biggest cheerleader. I am going to model for my children what it means to have healthy relationships, healthy self-worth and allowing those that we love the very most in this world to accept and embrace the gift that is accountability and consequence for the decisions that we make in this life.”
