The couple first connected on Tinder in 2020 and had a whirlwind romance, getting engaged in 2021 and tying the knot in 2023. However, their marriage faced challenges as Hawken struggled with substance abuse issues, leading Nogueira to share that he had entered rehab in 2025. Though they seemed to be working through their issues, the couple has now decided to end their marriage.

Why it matters

Nogueira and Hawken's relationship and divorce announcement provides a glimpse into the personal lives of social media influencers, who often present a curated image to their followers.

The details

Nogueira and Hawken first connected on the dating app Tinder in December 2020 and started chatting. They met in person for the first time in January 2021, and Nogueira said she knew she would "spend [her] life" with Hawken. The couple got engaged in November 2021 and married in July 2023 in a romantic ceremony in Newport, Rhode Island. However, their marriage faced difficulties as Hawken struggled with addiction. In March 2025, Nogueira revealed that Hawken had entered rehab following a relapse, and she had been "putting on a brave face" for the previous year. Hawken completed rehab in April 2025, and the couple seemed to be working on their relationship, even buying a new house in June 2025 as a "fresh start." But in February 2026, Nogueira announced that she and Hawken were getting divorced, stating that they still "love each other so much" but wanted to protect Hawken's privacy regarding his addiction struggles.
