There’s a lot of handwringing about the kids and I wanted to share some perspective. My parents divorced when I was 16 after 25 years of marriage, both remarried after 2-3 years, and have only been in the same room maybe half a dozen times. It doesn’t bother me a bit and I’d rather keep them separate anyway. Twenty-five years is long enough to know you never want to interact with that person ever again. I was the youngest of three and still old enough to know that my parents were more than just my parents. They’re people with their own problems outside of parenthood. It wasn’t about being bitter or jealous or mad. They were just done with each other. I never wanted to see them together again either! Weddings, babies, holidays, we were all launching from the nest soon anyway. It’s just not a problem.

I think Jen is an over-the-top, toxic-positivity-spewing moron, but I think that’s authentically her. Concerned about appearances, always performing, etc. But Brandon is so laughably gross. Terrible tattoos, motorcycle cosplay, cowboy-hat weirdo. He just comes off like he’s trying to be white trash? Like, who aspires to that?!

I'd wager good money that she's split from Tyler, but she's going to find a way to delay announcing that until after the trainwreck sex podcast. Agree with pp that once she runs out of content and if the numbers drop hard enough, she'll go ahead and write a tell-all book about the dissolution of her marriage.

She will 100% have to meet Tina eventually. As a pp stated, they will likely be co-grandparents someday (glam-maw made me LOL) or both sitting on the parent pew at a wedding. THAT’S no place to meet. Learning that they’ve not met yet is one more shocking-but-not-too-shocking example of how she gives the appearance of one thing while reality differs. In this case, a platform geared toward being inclusive and nonjudgmental and secure in herself, but really…
If Tina wasn’t the other woman in the Hatmaker affair, then that just makes her a woman who married a divorced man, right? A woman who has regular influence and affection in Jen’s kids’ lives. Yes it’s weird Jen won’t meet her. Petty and weird.

Also didn’t she say at some point in a post or video that she planned to visit Remi over the holidays?

The last friends post I can see looks like it was the Carrie Underwood concert- early November- and some idiot commented that they thought it was her book tour. Bless their heart. The last Tyler post is from maybe mid-November? After that, no signs of them actually together- just a polite online nod here and there.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, y'all.

The last post I've seen Jen in with her friends is from Halloween. And props to the above pp who made the snarky comment about not building another porch swing- hilarious!! (And probably on point!)

Are Jenny, Shonna, Megan, Trina the Vespa crew? Those are names pulled from cookbook dedication. Anyone follow their socials—and have they been together sans Jen during holidays or was she present and just not posting about it?

I just imagine one of the Vespa friends ranting to her husband, "and there are more red flags than a Nascar race and she won't listen to anyone and when it all falls apart, we'll have to put her back together AGAIN and I am NOT BUILDING ANY MORE PORCH SWINGS!"

In her latest 'going solo' podcast on youtube shared less than a week ago, she starts in on Tyler and relationship stuff around the 3:00-minute mark and continues for at least 10-15 minutes. Still all-in gushing... It's befuddling.

The way she talks about him being overwhelmed by a bunch of white women (her community) suddenly following him…when his whole long-time friend group is white women? And he gushes about white women? She acted like she was the person introducing him to white women, but she wasn’t. Did he pull the wool on her or was she delusional?

Yes seeing that his 2 best friends are single white women, his church is, his other friends are, he gushes over weird white celebrities (Chris Harrison etc), it’s def not overwhelmingly to have a white fan base. Typical Big Sis spinning to take credit where no credit is due.

Ok been following this for awhile. It’s crazy to me that this is anonymous to anonymous with no way to tell who is who.

But anyway- 2 years ago or around there, I was SO mad that Brandon had been a cheater. I told her if he cheated WITH her- he would eventually cheat ON her (which I still think). I messaged Tina and SHE WROTE me BACK! So, she might be the one with “reliable source” tidbits on here. She said something to the effect of “not everything is how it seems to the public” or something or another. I deleted it. But anyway she could
Definitely be on here!

Almost daily. As recently as 6 hours ago. Best I can tell, he mostly just shares TMP posts. This is the account his bestie tags though, not TMP like his girlfriend.

yes he posted 6 hours ago and before that he had a post in early december. there's prob posts in between those that aren't set to public

Tyler’s BFF has likely lurked here, right? Someone curious about Jen would find this thread in a pretty short Google search—the same way most of us got here. Tyler has a FB profile that’s not TMP. Lists himself as single and not one pic of Jen.
