Influencer Jen Hamilton confirmed she is going to keep her last name despite the breakdown of her marriage to estranged husband Brian Hamilton.
“It’s my name now,” she vowed via Instagram on Monday, July 27. “I made this name special and I’m gonna keep it.”
Jen announced her separation from Brian after “15 years of shared history” on June 15 and has since accused him of living a “double life.” (Brian has not responded to Jen’s accusation, as of publication.)
“Yes, he had a double life with a lady who was 56 years old. Yes, I must have left him way earlier — giving myself grace,” Jen, 35, said on Monday. “I’m so fortunate to have the means and resources to go away a nasty relationship. There are such a lot of women who’re unable to accomplish that, whether from funds, resources, etc.”
Jen acknowledged her privileged situation while promoting her Sisterhood of Solidarity fashion line, which features “girl power” slogans akin to “I Survived,” “Selecting Myself Today,” and “G.Y.A.U. (Get Your Ass Up).” Last week, the influencer promised that “100% of the proceeds will go to charities that help women rebuild their lives.” (Jen has also promised that each one other merchandise bought from her website through the tip of August may even profit women’s charities.)
In her latest video, Jen shared the exciting news that she’d raised “over $50,000” in the previous few days alone.
“Is what I’m going through just probably the most craziest s*** I’ve ever heard of in my life? Nope. It’s awful though,” she said. “I really like to take something awful and switch it into something good for other people.”
Earlier this week, Jen — who works as a nurse — opened up greater than ever before about what allegedly led to the tip of her marriage.
“While I used to be on the hospital, taking good care of people, he found the time to have an entire other life. As someone who’s never even passionately kissed anyone else in my entire life, this has broken me beyond comprehension,” Jen told her Instagram followers on Sunday, July 26. “I’m done being people’s PR manager. My kids know, everybody in my orbit knows, so I’m just going to present you the nitty-gritty details so it may well give you sufficient information to be, like, ‘OK, I get it.’”
Jen said that she “repressed [her] own natural human desires” throughout their marriage because Brian allegedly showed little interest in intimacy.
“A direct quote I got [from another woman] was, ‘I knew about you. He talked about you on a regular basis. But I didn’t know you had so many followers,’” Jen claimed. “I’ve never, ever in my life told this man a lie. Even once I was getting next-to-no physical affection in any way, I might not in 1,000,000 years take a look at one other guy like that.”
Influencer Jen Hamilton is in her carefree era amid her divorce from husband Brian Hamilton. Jen, 37, took to Instagram on Sunday, July 26, to share a mirror selfie wherein she showed off her sexy ensemble for an evening out: a certifiable black high-neck “revenge” top with sheer patterned sleeves, paired with high-waisted jeans, […]
“Secrets and hiding are what I consider made all this possible, so the way in which I’m coping with it’s by not having any secrets,” she concluded.
Jen and Brian got married in August 2012 and so they share two sons, Ellis and Luke.
