Many influencers are turning to social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram to share their experiences of going through divorce. These posts often explore emotional and practical aspects of life after a divorce, including financial independence, co-parenting, and dealing with heartbreak. Monette Wagner, a 36-year-old mother of three and professional photographer from Indianapolis, has been posting real-time videos on Instagram that capture the emotional journey of her recent divorce. Her content includes reflections on personal growth, lessons learned, and a desire to reconnect with the confident, curious person she was before her now-former husband. Divorce-related content is increasingly common on social media, with TikTok users often referring to it as “divorce-tok.” The level of detail shared varies widely—some creators, like Wagner, avoid mentioning their ex-partners, while others provide detailed accounts of their marital issues and the divorce process. Online trends related to divorce include “hot divorcée summer” videos and “glow-up” content showcasing post-divorce transformations. Both TikTok and Instagram have millions of posts tagged with the #divorce hashtag. Jen Hamilton, a labor and delivery nurse with over 5 million TikTok followers, has been sharing the “nitty-gritty” details of her divorce. She has revealed how her husband led a “double life” with another partner and has posted videos of herself crying, laughing, and processing the news while maintaining a positive outlook. In a more celebratory post, she commemorated what would have been her 14th wedding anniversary with a “Jendependence Day” party, highlighting her personal growth and independence. While some men share similar content, women make up the vast majority of creators discussing divorce online. Many of these creators say they are not seeking pity or sympathy but rather a sense of community with others who have gone through similar experiences. Alex Daly, a 41-year-old content creator in Philadelphia, started posting about her divorce around three years after it occurred. She aims to support those “still in the thick of it,” acknowledging how isolating the process can feel. Despite the potential for support and connection, public posts about divorce can carry risks. Jackie Combs, a family law attorney in Los Angeles, advises against sharing personal details or grievances online, as they could be used as evidence in legal matters. However, creators like Wagner and Daly often face trolling and negativity, with some commenters claiming they are “ruining lives” or questioning their morals. Daly says these negative comments reinforce the stigma around divorce, which motivates her to share stories of resilience and new beginnings. She believes that divorce doesn’t have to be an ending but can be a fresh start.
