The kids seem to be ranked in the following order:
1- Sydney Beth!!!!!
2- Ben, Jen's true soul mate
3- Caleb- we never talk about his running off the beaten path unless it's funny
4- Gavin who?
5- Remy, who will forever be in counseling from the shaming of Jen's posts.
*please note that 1 and 2 are interchangeable, depending on the day.

I don't think Tyler is gay, unless he just hasn't yet figured it out for himself, because his book talks about several heterosexual relationships from his past. But it does seem like Brandon and his new gf are legit and it seems very threatening to Jen. Did you notice how she posted pics of Caleb's graduation and one of them was Brandon's family (because she and Brandon are so chill, guys!) but in the same pic, she cropped out new girlfriend? (Oops- didn't mean to.) Anyway, i feel like Tyler is relatable and honest- kind of like where Jen was when she was writing 7- and I hope he stays that way. I also feel like he's way more guarded (and rightly so) about their relationship.

I don’t think it’s fake, as in they ”agreed” to do this for publicity or something, but I do think it’s just verrry convenient for both of them. I think Brandon‘s posts with his girlfriend kills Jen so she needed a man to show off too, and I think she wants to be relatable to everyone, so it was very convenient for her to find this boyfriend that lives far away and that she doesn’t have to be around all the time, but that she can post and gush about all over the Internet for everyone, especially Brandon, to see. For Tyler, he gets a lot more exposure than he's ever had. And for both of them, it’s a long distance. Absolutely no way this would be a relationship if they lived in the same town.

Ffffaaaaaaaaakkkkkke.
Their publicist set them up! He gets thousands more followers on social media and a huge jump in book sales. (You know everyone in Jen’s “tribe” ran out to buy his book.) And he gets to hold off the gay rumors by FINALLY having a serious girlfriend. (But let’s be honest - he’s obviously gay, right?)

She gets way more social media attention (all of her “love” posts get hundreds if not thousands more likes and comments than her boring podcasts). And she gets some social justice cred. “See guys! I totally understand the black experience now! I have a BOYFRIEND!”. She also had to do something in response to Brandon’s new girlfriend. I refer to their constant posts responding “at” each other as their “pissing contest”. And he’s usually winning it. I don’t think that relationship is fake At. All. Brandon’s actually getting attention from a female. And she’s hot. Jen had to do something!

I think the boyfriend is a contractual deal. There is no chemistry and I suspect he is gay.

Who’s contract?! And what level of benefits would either of them get from it? They aren’t super famous international stars trying to raise their global influence. They’re barely even D-list celebrities (if that?!) Contractual relationships just aren’t a thing at their level.

I think Jen is trying to prove to everyone how COMPLETELY over Brandon she is. Like, could new guy be any more opposite?! She’s not even attracted to white redneck men anymore, and this is “proof” of how much she’s grown and moved one. I also think Jen loves the idea of shocking people - because even though it’s totally normal to most of us - under her little rock it’s shocking and edgy to be in an interracial relationship.

This relationship is definitely fake. I’m just not sure she’s as aware of that as the rest of us are.

Sometimes I wonder if you’re Caleb or Remy, how do you feel about JH’s overly effusive posts about your siblings, and then your own birthday post takes a detour to discuss Sydney and your mom’s new weird faux boyfriend. 😒

Been a follower for close to ten years.

Back then she was a funny, folksy, relatable mommy blogger and Bible teacher.

Then, with a lot more fame, she and her ex became quickly more secular and a lot more about building a lifestyle brand. Like she wanted to be Joanna Gaines. She became more Influencer-y.

Now she’s all about constant product shilling and bragging about a supposed amazing life. But all I see is sadness abs desperation.

I hope Jen is okay - I got serious "something is wrong" vibes, like either a specific bad thing just happened, or maybe some kind of mental health struggle? I felt weird watching it, because it just did not seem like she is doing well.

I can’t stomach ANY of her social media anymore, so I’m curious if those who regularly keep up with her feel this way? Or if she’s always like this.

Anonymous wrote:Omg her most recent story. Watch to the end where she talks about pizza. 🤣😬🫣 She has perfected the humble brag….or not so humble brag.

OMG I completely needed that on my Friday afternoon. ALL SHE DOES IS WIN, GUYS.

Did she seem extremely stuffed up to you? Between the sunglasses and the red nose, she looked post sobfest to me. I would have guessed that Tyler dumped her but then she made sure to point out he was meeting her in Knoxville this weekend.

I get the sense that Jen has periodic spells of being deeply insecure about things and feels the need to brag about her life to her audience to fill a deep spiritual gap.
