Mikayla Nogueira and Cody Hawken’s love story kicked off on Tinder back in December 2020, where a striking first message turned into a whirlwind romance. They hit it off immediately, and after a couple of years filled with heartfelt moments and heartfelt challenges, the pair exchanged vows in a beautiful Rhode Island ceremony in July 2023. Unfortunately, the bliss didn’t last long, as Nogueira shared on TikTok in February 2026 that the couple was getting a divorce, highlighting the struggles they faced along the way.
Nogueira opened up about her husband Cody Hawken’s ongoing battle with addiction, which they navigated together. She expressed gratitude for their years together and emphasized that their split doesn’t lessen their love or the memories they created. It’s a poignant reminder that even the most glamorous love stories can take unexpected turns, leaving us to wonder: does love really conquer all? To love and to let go, perhaps love sometimes requires navigating both the highs and the lows—like a relationship rollercoaster with a few unexpected drops along the way.
