Jen Hatmaker<\/strong><\/a> and ex-husband Brandon Hatmaker<\/strong><\/a> made a splash in 2014 with the premiere of their HGTV show, My Big Family Renovation <\/em>\u2014 and their divorce drama<\/a> has kept them in the spotlight a decade later.<\/p>\n

While their reality TV show only lasted two seasons, fans continued to keep up with the Hatmakers and their five children<\/a>. Their openness online made it even more surprising when Jen announced in 2020 that she and Brandon were getting divorced.<\/p>\n

Five years later, Jen opened up about the split in her Awake<\/em> memoir<\/a>, revealing that Brandon was unfaithful<\/a> before their split. The revelation brought the exes back into the limelight and left fans with questions about what the Hatmakers are doing now.<\/p>\n
