The TikTok star, best known for her makeup videos, first met Cody after matching on Tinder in the winter of 2020. They wed in a lavish ceremony in 2023. She has been candid about some of the challenges in their relationship, such as when he went to rehab for drug and alcohol addiction last year.
Telling her viewers that they’re going to want to “sit down,” Mikayla began a new TikTok by saying, “I am getting a divorce. Take a minute. Take it in. I am getting a divorce.”
“Cody and I love each other so much, we would do literally anything for each other,” she continued. “I’m not going to be sharing any details whatsoever as to why Cody and I have made this decision. The main reason I am doing that is because I want to protect Cody. Cody deserves that. We both want to heal. Cody deserves to be happy.”
“This is an extremely shitty thing. No one gets married to get a divorce, absolutely no one. But what I can tell you is that this is very amicable. We talk every day. He comes over for dinner. He sees the dogs. He and I were together for five years, married for two, and they are some of the best memories of my life, memories that I will cherish forever. And I do not regret a single thing, nor does Cody,” the 27-year-old said.
Asking people not to “pit people against each other” or “pick sides,” she said, “Cody and I have been very open about his struggles with addiction, and I’m going to ask you, if you can, please leave that out of the conversation. They are two separate things. It is hard enough as it is, to be an addict and to struggle to stay sober.”
“The reason I’m pretty put together in this video is because we made this decision last year, and I’ve spent the last few months processing this, a lot of crying, a lot of talking to family, friends, therapy, everything you can think of to get to a place where I can make this video. Now I heal,” she added, noting that her beauty content will remain the same.
