Influencer Sara Buckley announced her divorce after 21 years of marriage — and she’s addressing it with her signature humor.
Buckley, known on Instagram as @NotTheWorstMom, shared a video on Sunday revealing that her husband, Sterling Buckley, are getting a divorce.
Sara and Sterling met when they were teenagers and now have three adult children together.
“Welp … welcome to divorcecore, I guess,” she wrote over a video of herself planting flowers outside.
“Getting divorced and moving halfway across the country wasn’t on my f–kn vision board, I can tell you that.”
In the video, which now has 348,000 views, she shared that she’ll be moving from Las Vegas to Oklahoma City to “start a whole new life” with her sister — “and we plant flowers and s–t on Sundays,” she wrote in the expletive-filled post, explaining why she’s planting flowers.
“Blah blah blah some sappy s–t about uprooting your life and blooming somewhere else,” she joked.
But she didn’t let the news get her down, writing that the lighting was “too good” to not record, plus her hair looked “fabulous.”
“Anywho, still getting yoked while being hot and funny,” she added, flexing her muscles.
Buckley got a lot of support in the comment section, with one person even asking, “What are we doing? Are we mad at him? Do we unfollow him? Are we going to battle? Do we send him 100 pizzas that he has to pay for? What’s our mission?”
Just a few hours later, she posted another video sharing her thoughts — and shutting down the hate toward her soon-to-be ex-husband.
“Pump the Sterling hate breaks, OK? You didn’t see me say anything bad about him. Did you?” she asked her followers.
“No, so don’t jump to conclusions. I will not be speaking badly about Sterling ever, so calm down. You get us both in the divorce. Relax.”
She added in the caption, “Just bc we’re divorcing doesn’t mean I don’t have his back. It’s still the 5 of us vs everyone.”
Sterling, an influencer himself, shared a video on Instagram shortly after Sara’s announcement post regarding mental health.
“For years I’ve encouraged people to take their mental health seriously, to be open about any struggle you’re going through,” he said in the video. “Going through a depression is not shameful, you’re not alone, and there are lots of people who are willing to be there for you.
“That has come back to me a hundredfold the past couple weeks,” he continued, sharing that after he posted about the divorce on his Instagram Stories, his followers started reaching out to him.
“I’ve received dozens and dozens, over 50 messages of encouraging words like this: ‘Hey Sterling, you’ve talked about your mental health and the struggles you’ve gone through a lot, so I’m just checking in to make sure that you’re okay,’ ” he shared.
“It has been so encouraging and has made me feel so loved.”
Sara commented on the video with four red heart emojis.
