Influencer Mikayla Nogueira and her husband, Cody Hawken, have split after more than two years of marriage.
“I want to start this video by saying I appreciate you and I love you and you’re going to want to be sitting down for this video. I am getting a divorce. Take a minute, take it in. I am getting a divorce,” Nogueira said in a Thursday, February 12, Instagram video. “Cody and I love each other so much. We love each other so much. We would do literally anything for each other. I want you to know that. I’m not going to be sharing any details whatsoever as to why Cody and I have made this decision.”
She continued, “The main reason I am doing that is because I want to protect Cody. Cody deserves that. We both want to heal. Cody deserves to be happy. Cody deserves to be happy. So do I. This is an extremely s****y thing. No one gets married to get a divorce. Absolutely no one.”
Nogueira explained that “this is very amicable,” noting that she and Hawken “talk every day” and he “comes over for dinner” and “sees the dogs.”
“He and I were together for five years, married for two and they are some of the best memories of my life. Memories that I will cherish forever,” she said. “And I do not regret a single thing, nor does Cody. I know there is going to be so much speculation as to why Cody and I are getting a divorce, but I want to guarantee you that no amount of speculation, no one claiming they know why we are getting a divorce, no video from a tea page or a drama channel, knows why Cody and I made this decision. The only people that know why Cody and I made this decision is Cody and I. I just want to make that very, very clear.”
Nogueira continued with a request for her more than 3.5 million followers, asking that fans not “pit people against each other or pick sides” as she has seen with other high-profile splits in the past.
“Cody and I are in this together. Please don’t pull us apart,” she said, before adding another request. “Second thing I’m going to ask is — Cody and I have been very open with his struggles with addiction — and I’m going to ask you if you can please leave that out of the conversation. They are two separate things. It is hard enough as it is to be an addict and to struggle to stay sober.” (Nogueira has been candid about Hawken’s struggles with addiction, sharing in April 2025 that he was in rehab.)
Nogueira then revealed that she and Hawken made the decision to call it quits “last year,” explaining that she’s “spent the last few months processing this, a lot of crying, a lot of talking to family [and] friends, therapy, everything you can think of to get to a place where I can make this video.”
“Now I heal,” she said. “I just want you to know that I appreciate the support you have shown Cody and I over the last five years. You guys rooted for my relationship and my marriage so hard and I appreciate it so much. Cody and I are both terrified. We are entering a completely new chapter of our lives, an unexpected chapter, and we are embracing it. Even if it’s terrifying, it’s exciting too. Listen, sometimes life has different plans for you. And Cody and I have both accepted that.”
She continued, “So what happens now is nothing. I have been going through this with Cody for the past few months. S*** is tough. There’s a lot of crying, there’s a lot of emotions. But I’m still going to show up every day.”
Nogueira assured followers that she would still be doing her annual “cute little Valentine’s Day videos” and noted that “nothing is really changing on the work side.”
“I’m still going to be creating my beauty content and my makeup content, but I just want you to know I’m still here,” she said. “Anyways, hopefully I’ve said everything I wanted to say and I appreciate the support. And again, please don’t tear Cody and I apart because that’s not what we want. Love you.”
Nogueira simply captioned the post, “We love you.”
