Derrick Jaxn’s Wife Files For Divorce One Year After Cheating Scandal

Derrick Jaxn Announces Split From Wife One Year After Cheating Scandal

Last year, social media star and relationship guru Derrick Jaxn, who has 1.3 million Instagram followers, confessed to having multiple affairs after fans uncovered his indiscretions and put him on blast.

Derrick Jaxn, who preaches “Healing & Healthy Relationships,” took to Instagram last year to confess in a video in which his wife, Da’Naia Jackson, also appeared.

“The truth is Derrick Jaxn was involved with other women outside the marriage,” he said to the camera, speaking about himself in the third person. “All of it falls under the category of cheating, affairs, stepping out.”

The video, dubbed “cringe-worthy” by fans, has amassed 2.6 million views in one day on Instagram, another 600,000 on YouTube and half a million on Facebook. At the time, Da’Naia defended her husband and her marriage. Well that’s all changed. Da’Naia filed to divorce Derrick two months ago. Derrick officially announced the split on IG today.

Derrick explained to his fans, “Over the past several months, my family and I have gone through many changes. Some of you have speculated while others of you have reached out to offer support as we privately established this new normal for ourselves and our beautiful children.”

The speculation that Derrick is talking about are the multiple side chicks that came forward to expose the relationship expert’s hypocrisy and narcissism. He continued, “Earlier this year after much prayer, counseling, and deep consideration, we decided to go our separate ways and filed for divorce. Making the decision to file was one of the hardest decisions of my life, but I’ve found peace knowing that our mission of raising healthy children, starting with healthy and whole parents is still being accomplished.”

“From falling in love as just teenagers, to becoming spouses and now co-parents, I’m grateful for the years we’ve spent together and wouldn’t trade them for anything. I was blessed to have such an amazing person in my life and will forever be thankful for all she’s meant to our family.”
