Jen Hatmaker is recounting one of the most difficult moments in her life.
Five years after ending her marriage to Brandon Hatmaker, she revealed how she learned about his affair, which, as she noted in her forthcoming memoir Awake, went on for a “devastating time span.”
Indeed, as she remembered, it was in the early hours of July 11, 2020, per excerpts from the book per The New York Post, where she heard overhearing him tell a woman over the phone, “I just can’t quit you.”
The 51-year-old recalled spending hours after her husband of 26 years’ 2:30 a.m. phone call following his “trail of betrayal,” writing in the book, out Sept. 23, that his infidelity was “the end of my life as I [knew] it.” When Brandon woke up the next morning, she threw him out of the house and their marriage was over.
The My Big Family Renovation alum—who cofounded the evangelical Austin New Church with her husband back in 2008—was so shocked by the revelations that she couldn’t fully wrap her mind around what she’d uncovered.
