Beauty Influencer Mikayla Nogueira Announces Divorce from Husband Cody Hawken
In a heartfelt and emotional video shared with her massive online following, beauty guru Mikayla Nogueira has publicly confirmed her divorce from husband Cody Hawken, ending their two-year marriage. The announcement comes after months of intense speculation and rumors swirling across social media platforms regarding the status of their relationship.
Emotional Announcement to Millions of Followers
The 27-year-old Massachusetts-based influencer broke the news in a solo sit-down video posted on Thursday, February 12, addressing her 17.4 million TikTok followers directly. Nogueira began the nearly five-minute video with a dramatic message urging fans to "sit down for this" before revealing, "I am getting a divorce. Take a minute, take it in."
After a brief pause, she continued with emotional transparency, stating, "Cody and I love each other so much. We would do literally anything for each other." Despite the heartbreaking nature of the announcement, Nogueira emphasized that their separation was "very amicable" and that they continue to maintain a positive relationship.
Protecting Privacy Amid Personal Challenges
Nogueira made it clear that she would not be sharing specific reasons for the divorce decision, explaining her desire to protect Hawken's privacy. "The only people that know why Cody and I made this decision is Cody and I," she told her followers. "I'm not going to be sharing any details whatsoever as to why Cody and I have made this decision. The main reason I am doing that is because I want to protect Cody."
The beauty influencer specifically addressed Hawken's well-documented struggles with addiction, asking her followers to keep those issues separate from their divorce announcement. "They are two separate things. It is hard enough as it is to be an addict and to struggle to stay sober," she noted, demonstrating her continued support for her estranged husband.
Timeline of Their Relationship and Challenges
The couple's relationship began in 2021, with Hawken proposing just months into their romance as Nogueira's social media fame was rapidly growing. They married in a lavish ceremony in Rhode Island in July 2023 after less than two years of dating, frequently sharing their relationship with Nogueira's millions of followers.
However, their marriage faced significant challenges due to Hawken's ongoing battles with drug and alcohol addiction. After years of sobriety, Hawken experienced a relapse in January 2024 and subsequently began consuming alcohol again. Nogueira previously revealed that she faced "some of the scariest nights of my life" during this period, including calling police because she feared for her husband's life.
In March 2025, Hawken checked into a rehabilitation facility, completing a 45-day program and achieving three months of sobriety by June of that year. During this difficult period, the couple engaged in marriage counseling, with Nogueira initially insisting they were not headed for divorce but simply seeking "help" for their relationship.
Quiet Separation and Moving Forward
Nogueira revealed that she and Hawken actually made the decision to divorce "last year" but kept it private from the public while she processed the emotional impact. "I have spent the last few months processing this," she shared, mentioning that she's done "a lot of crying and a lot of talking" with family, friends, and a therapist.
Despite the separation, Nogueira described their current relationship as cordial and ongoing. "We talk everyday. He comes over for dinner. He sees the dogs," she said of their post-separation dynamic. She emphasized that neither she nor Hawken regret their marriage, calling their five years together "some of the best memories of my life. Memories that I will cherish forever."
Professional Success and Personal Resilience
Nogueira rose to fame during the COVID-19 pandemic through her relatable beauty content, including skincare and makeup product reviews that resonated with millions. Her social media success has translated into significant financial prosperity, with Forbes estimating her net worth at nearly $8 million. She boasts lucrative brand deals with beauty giants like Estee Lauder and Elf Cosmetics, in addition to her 3.5 million Instagram followers.
Last summer, the couple purchased a 9,300 square foot mansion in Massachusetts for $4.35 million, a transaction that occurred months after Hawken's rehabilitation stint. Nogueira has assured her followers that her professional life will continue unchanged despite her personal circumstances. "Nothing's really changing on the work side. I'm still gonna be creating my beauty content," she confirmed, even mentioning that she has Valentine's Day videos planned despite her heartbreak.
Looking Toward the Future
As she enters what she calls an "unexpected chapter" of her life, Nogueira expressed both fear and excitement about the future. She admitted that she and Hawken are "both terrified" as they navigate "a completely new chapter of our lives" but emphasized that they are "embracing it" fully. "Listen, sometimes life has different plans for you and Cody and I have both accepted that," she reflected philosophically.
The beauty influencer closed her emotional announcement by reiterating her appreciation for her fans' support while making a final request: "Please don't tear Cody and I apart because that's not what we want." Her message emphasized healing, privacy, and mutual respect as both individuals move forward separately while maintaining their connection and care for one another.
