“With all the promotion surrounding Jen’s new memoir, conversations about our divorce are circulating again—many of them fueled by headlines rather than facts,” he said, giving the following examples: “I read a recent TMZ article that literally had nine mistruths in six short paragraphs. Another US Magazine headline called Tina by the name of Kelly.” Hatmaker included a screenshot of the latter post.
“This is just one of the reasons I urge people to be cautious about what they read and where it comes from. Real lives are far too complicated to be reduced to secondhand headlines or algorithm-written summaries,” he said.
In his Sept. 26 post announcing he is done publicly commenting on his divorce, Hatmaker said, “This space will become what it was intended to be: a place for honest conversations about mental health, recovery, faith, resilience, and the pursuit of becoming better humans.” In a similar post on Facebook, he implied that his Substack posts on his divorce will be removed at some point.

“We’ve all experienced loss, regret, and turning points,” he continued. “My hope is that by sharing lessons learned—without rehashing the past—we can all find encouragement for the road ahead.”
“Thank you to those who have read with empathy and understanding. Your support means more than you know,” Hatmaker concluded. “The future of this space is bright, and I’m looking forward to talking about the things that bring life, hope, and healing. Here’s to what’s next.”
