Brace yourself for an intimate family update from Mikayla Nogueira, as she offers a glimpse into her husband Cody Hawken's poignant journey towards sobriety. Exactly five weeks after Cody concluded a grueling 45-day rehabilitation program for his struggle with drug and alcohol addiction, Mikayla, a beloved TikTok personality, has provided her followers with a heartwarming peek into their renewed life together.
On a heartfelt TikTok post dated May 17, Mikayla curated a montage of their shared moments outdoors, capturing tender kisses, playful interactions with their pug dogs, car rides, and cozy dinners. Overlaying the video, the 26-year-old penned, "When the sparkle returns to your husband's eyes, and his smile transforms into a genuine radiant beam."
Cody embarked on his inpatient treatment journey in March, a period when Mikayla recounted having only limited, cherished encounters with him. "For the past month, my husband has been on a path to recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, and our weekly cafeteria dates were a lifeline," she revealed in an April 6 TikTok video. "If there's a phrase that resonates deeply with me, it's 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'—I've never felt its truth more profoundly."
Despite the physical distance, Mikayla's unwavering support shone brightly. "I am Cody's biggest cheerleader. I stand by him every step of this journey. I have unwavering faith in him, and I know deep down that he can conquer this. If anyone can triumph, it's Cody," she declared. Later that month, she joyfully marked his graduation from the rehab facility.
"Let me be candid about my emotions: I'm bursting with excitement," Mikayla exclaimed in an April 14 TikTok video, her voice tinged with longing. "I've missed my husband immensely." Amidst her exhilaration, however, she admitted to a hint of apprehension about Cody's return. "Yet, I couldn't be more proud of my husband," she emphasized.
The founder of the Point of View beauty brand has always been transparent about Cody's sobriety journey and the reasons behind his quest for help. "Cody has grappled with addiction since his youth," Mikayla confessed through tears in a poignant April 4 TikTok post. "Addiction is an incredibly challenging battle, folks—whether you're facing it yourself or supporting someone close."
She further extended encouragement to others battling addiction, asserting, "Sobriety and recovery are not straight paths. Addiction is a complex disease, and unless you or someone near and dear to you has walked this path, it's hard to comprehend its depths. Relapses are part of the recovery journey—they are not signs of failure."
