In a heartfelt Instagram post dated July 21, Jen, 37, expressed, “There were moments when I genuinely questioned my survival, you know? As you unearth new truths, the notion of not being able to endure becomes overwhelming.” She dedicated the emotional video to both herself and her followers.
Having publicly announced their impending split on TikTok on June 15 after almost 15 years of matrimony, Jen disclosed that she relies on what she calls the “five Ms” to navigate this challenging phase. Tops on her list is meditation, with other essentials being “meds,” “mentorship,” “mingling,” and a bit of inspiration from “Megan Thee Stallion.”
“My recent meditative mantra has been ‘THANK GOD’ for revealing the wrongs against me, empowering me to walk away from the negativity,” she explained, overlaying calming visuals with her narration on the practice of meditation.

Because I know that I’m not alone.”
Jen’s separation announcement arrived as a joint statement from Brian. “Yes, we are separating,” the June statement read. “This comes with enormous pain for the both of us but also gratitude for the 15 years of shared history, love, and friendship.
