Brandon Hatmaker, author and former pastor, faced a significant life change when he and his wife, Jen Hatmaker, a popular Christian author and speaker, announced their divorce in September 2020. The couple was known for their progressive Christian views and social justice work.
The announcement of their divorce was a surprise to many followers, as the Hatmakers were often seen as a strong couple advocating for various social issues together. They had been married for over two decades and have five children. The reasons behind their divorce have been kept private, with both Brandon and Jen asking for respect and privacy during that time.
Before the divorce, Brandon Hatmaker was actively involved in ministry work. He co-founded Austin New Church in Texas and Legacy Collective, a community of donors supporting sustainable solutions to systemic issues. He also co-starred with his family in the HGTV series “My Big Family Renovation.”
Since the divorce, Brandon has kept a relatively low profile compared to his ex-wife, who has continued to be active on social media and in her writing and speaking engagements. He has not been as publicly vocal about his personal life or his current endeavors, and it appears he has chosen to step back from the public eye to some extent. However, he remains involved in community work and continues to share his thoughts and experiences through his personal blog and social media platforms, albeit less frequently.
