Beauty TikToker Mikayla Nogueira responded to fan speculation over why she hasn’t been wearing her wedding ring in her recent videos and detailed her weight loss journey.
Mikayla Nogueira is clearing up the rumors.
The TikToker, who wed Cody Hawken in 2023, responded to speculation after fans noticed that she wasn’t wearing her engagement ring in a recent TikTok video, revealing that there’s nothing to worry about when it comes to her marriage.
“I’m ready to spill the tea as to why I have stopped wearing my wedding ring,” Mikayla said in a Jan. 28 video. “But I have to tell you the tea is ice cold. There is no tea.”
“The reason is this s–t doesn’t fit me,” she continued. “Because I lost 60 pounds, this ring is now humungous on me, and I either need to get it resized or a new ring perhaps, because it’s too big. It doesn’t fit.”
The beauty influencer—who has been open with her followers about past changes to her weight and struggles with an eating disorder—demonstrated how loosely her ring fits on her ring finger now.
“I have a ‘C’ tattooed on my finger—that’s not good, and I need to get that fixed and I will—but, yeah, if I wear this it’ll fall off and I’ll lose it, so that it literally the tea,” Mikayla added. “Same thing goes for my wedding band, they’re the same exact size [and] my fingers are much skinnier than they were when I was heavier.”
In a second video, the 26-year-old said that she gets comments about her wedding ring “10,000 times a day” and said that she’s “very much still married.”

Mikayla’s marriage update comes over a year after fans noticed her significant weight loss, which the content creator attributed to changing in her relationship with binge eating amid speculation that she was taking Ozempic.
“In recovery I happened to have lost 30 lbs. because I was struggling with binge eating disorder,” she said on TikTok in December 2023. “And when you go through recovery and you stop binging, sometimes you’ll lose weight with that. But to just put in all that work for months to recover from something that has literally nearly taken your life away multiple times, to just be hit with ‘Laugh my ass off, she’s on Ozempic,’ it just sucks.”
“I just feel like it really takes away from anyone who puts in the extreme mental strain to get healthy,” Mikayla added at the time. “I will never personally do Ozempic because I don’t want to cheat my recovery. That’s just my personal opinion.”
She went on to explain that she believes that using a weight loss drug would negatively impact her recovery from her eating disorder.
“For me, I don’t believe that would be good for my recovery,” she shared. “Therefore, I will never do it. I need to develop a healthy relationship with food and exercise and my body image … and that is extremely difficult. And Ozempic just would not be the path for me.”
“Yes, I have lost weight,” she continued. “I have done it completely naturally and normally and, you know, better food choices, better life choices. I am proud of myself that I did it entirely healthy because it’s the first time in my life that I have, so that’s a huge deal for me.”
