The couple tied the knot in a glamorous wedding last April.
But suspicions were raised when Jaxon abruptly stopped appearing on his wife’s Instagram grid August 2022.
Four months later in December, Davina hinted at heartbreak when she shared a cryptic post about 2022, her year of self-discovery..
“2022 has been the greatest year of spiritual and mental growth for me and for the first time in my life I can finally hear the whispers of my heart,” she wrote.

“I’m in touch with my institution and I’ve stopped pleasing people and I’m tackling my fear of judgment head-on.
“This year I’ve grown into something I never imagined… MYSELF.”
Nevertheless, in January Davina insisted they were still together, telling So Dramatic, “We’re definitely still married. Although I should probably post more pictures of him.’
Davina rose to fame as one of the original MAFS villains during the 2018 breakout season. She was infamous for cheating on her “husband” Ryan Gallagher with right-wing YouTuber Dean Wells, but later blamed her actions on poor editing.
