Atlanta, GA
– Derrick Jaxn, the once-celebrated relationship guru known for his advice tailored to empower women and critique male shortcomings, has found himself at the center of yet another scandal. The influencer, whose 2021 cheating confession derailed his marriage, recently went live on social media in tears after learning that his current girlfriend – the woman he left his ex-wife for – is pregnant by another man.
Jaxn, who built a massive following with books like A Cheating Man’s Heart and YouTube videos preaching fidelity and accountability, admitted to serial infidelity in 2021 after being exposed by multiple mistresses, including one who claimed a baecation affair. He and his then-wife, Da’Naia Jackson, appeared together in an awkward confessional video where he detailed “loose boundaries” leading to sex and flirtations outside their marriage. The couple divorced in 2022, with Jaxn later blaming feelings of “rejection” from Da’Naia for his actions.
Social media erupted with schadenfreude as users recirculated Jaxn’s old content, highlighting the irony of a man who “pander[ed] to women” and blamed men for relationship woes now facing betrayal himself. Posts described the live stream as “karma” and a “successful hate watch,” with one viral thread noting how Jaxn “got burnt by a woman, whom he used to defend.” Another account reported that the girlfriend, often referred to online as the “baddie” Jaxn upgraded to post-divorce, confirmed the pregnancy belongs to someone else, leaving the coach visibly devastated.
The backlash echoes Jaxn’s past, where he was accused of hypocrisy for advising women on spotting “unworthy men” while cheating extensively. Da’Naia later revealed the emotional toll, including studying the bodies of her husband’s mistresses and nearly losing her life amid the scandal. Jaxn’s career, once bolstered by biblical-infused relationship tips, has struggled to recover, with recent updates scarce until this emotional outburst.
Online reactions range from sympathy for the betrayed to outright mockery, with calls for clips of the tearful live going unanswered so far. As Jaxn navigates this personal crisis, it serves as a stark reminder of the pitfalls he once warned others about – pitfalls he failed to avoid himself.
