TikTok star Mikayla Nogueira has announced her divorce from Cody Hawken, ending their marriage less than a year after buying a $4.35 million Massachusetts mansion they called their “forever home.”
The split comes after years of navigating addiction struggles and personal challenges.
The 27-year-old beauty influencer shared the heartbreaking news with her 17.4 million followers, emphasizing that despite parting ways, they still care deeply for one another.
What makes this divorce announcement different from typical celebrity breakups is Nogueira’s protective stance toward her ex-husband—and her insistence that speculation needs to stop.
A Marriage That Started With Promise
Nogueira and Hawken began dating in 2020 and married in 2023. Their relationship blossomed during challenging times, including Hawken’s ongoing battle with substance abuse.
In her TikTok announcement, Nogueira made clear that both parties approached this decision together.
I am getting a divorce. Take a minute, take it in. I am getting a divorce. We would do literally anything for each other. I want you to know that.
She refused to share specific reasons behind their separation, stating her priority was protecting Hawken’s privacy and well-being.
The “Forever Home” That Wasn’t
Just months before announcing their divorce, Nogueira and Hawken purchased a stunning 9,300-square-foot property with seven bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms. They closed on the home in March 2025.
The influencer had described the purchase as necessary for their mental health and relationship recovery.
Last year was a really difficult year in my marriage, for my husband and for me. We want a fresh start. Cody and I have made a lot of beautiful memories in this home, but the bad ones kind of outweigh the good.
The move represented hope—an opportunity to leave behind traumatic memories from their previous $2.4 million home, which Nogueira purchased in 2022.
That earlier property measured 4,600 square feet and featured four bedrooms. Their new dwelling essentially doubled that space, offering room for what they hoped would be a growing family.
Addiction’s Shadow Over Their Relationship
Hawken entered rehab in early 2025 after relapsing with drugs and alcohol. Nogueira has been transparent about his struggles, though always with his permission.
In April, she opened up about the severity of his addiction and how it affected their daily lives.
I’m talking calling the police because I’m scared my husband’s going to die. To anyone who has had a spouse or a family member who struggles with addiction, you know what I mean when I say I didn’t know who that person was anymore. I felt like I had lost my husband.
Nogueira even made the difficult decision to have Hawken live separately during particularly challenging periods. He got his own apartment, though she kept a key in case of emergency—specifically, in case he overdosed.
She maintained contact throughout his treatment, speaking with him daily via FaceTime and waiting for his return after completing rehab.
Setting Boundaries Around Public Speculation
What stands out most about Nogueira’s divorce announcement is her firm stance against speculation and side-taking.
I want to guarantee you that no amount of speculation, no one claiming they know why we’re getting a divorce, no video from a tea page or a drama channel, knows why Cody and I made the decision. The only people that know why Cody and I made this decision is Cody and I.
She specifically addressed Hawken’s sobriety journey, insisting it remain separate from divorce discussions.
It is hard enough as it is to be an addict and to struggle to stay sober.
Nogueira asked her followers not to pit the couple against each other or choose sides, emphasizing they remain united despite ending their marriage.
Processing Grief While Maintaining Public Presence
The makeup artist, known for her chatty “get ready with me” videos, admitted spending months processing the separation before going public. Therapy, conversations with family and friends, and countless tears marked this period.
I’ve spent the last few months processing this. A lot of crying, a lot of talking to family, friends, therapy, everything you can think of, to get to a place where I can make this video. Now, I heal.
Despite personal turmoil, Nogueira committed to maintaining her content schedule. She reassured fans that her videos wouldn’t fundamentally change.
There’s a lot of crying, there’s a lot of emotions, but I’m still going to show up every day, and I’m still going to do my cute little Valentine’s Day videos I do every year, and nothing has to really change on the work side.
Cherishing Memories While Moving Forward
Nogueira emphasized that her time with Hawken wasn’t wasted or regrettable. Their five years together—two as a married couple—created memories she’ll treasure forever.
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. And I do not regret a single thing.
She acknowledged that divorce is “an extremely s—-y thing” but noted they’re navigating it as amicably as possible.
What Happens To The Mansion?
The fate of their recently purchased $4.35 million property remains unclear. Nogueira also still owns their previous home, which remains registered in her name.
Their new dwelling features modern architecture with white paneling, black window frames, and extensive luxury amenities including:
- Expansive living spaces: Light wood flooring throughout
- Wine cellar: For entertaining and storage
- Lush surroundings: White-fenced backyard with greenery
- Ample space: Room that once held promise for raising children
Nogueira documented their moving process extensively on TikTok, sharing emotional moments of packing her beauty room and saying goodbye to their former residence.
They officially moved into their new home on June 1, picking out furniture and decorating together—choices that now carry bittersweet significance.
Moving Into An Unexpected Chapter
With an estimated net worth approaching $8 million according to Forbes, Nogueira has financial stability as she navigates this transition. But money can’t ease emotional pain.
We’re entering a completely new chapter of our lives, an unexpected chapter, and we’re embracing it. And 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.
Nogueira’s approach to this divorce announcement reflects maturity beyond her 27 years. Rather than fueling drama or seeking sympathy at her ex-husband’s expense, she chose protection and dignity.
She acknowledged that healing takes time and won’t happen overnight. But she’s committed to showing up—for herself, for Hawken’s privacy, and for her millions of followers who’ve supported her journey.
The beauty influencer’s transparency about addiction’s impact on relationships may help others facing similar struggles feel less alone. Her insistence on maintaining compassion during divorce offers a refreshing alternative to typical celebrity breakup drama.
As both Nogueira and Hawken move forward separately, their story serves as a reminder that sometimes love isn’t enough—and that’s nobody’s fault. Sometimes protecting someone means letting them go, even when you still care deeply.
