You seem so much more genuine now (not that you seemed fake before! Please don't take this the wrong way.) What's crazy is I had a hard time watching your Bali vlogs and I just couldn't figure out why, because everything was so well-shot and seemed perfectly normal on the surface. Anyway, you look incredible and your resilience is so inspiring to me. I'm not a stay-at-home girlfriend, as I'm a teacher, but I could always sense your independence and strength, and I always felt like there were things that I could learn from you despite our different lifestyles. I can't wait to see where your journey takes you.

[@eileenchen8446]

P.S. I had my first serious break-up when I turned 26, and I went on lots of lunch dates with my mom :)

Hi Kendel❤ I’ve watched your material and I think you are very special. I’m 41. I got into a relationship when I was 22 that ended in divorce when I was 31 and with a 2 year old. I always knew it wasn’t right. The last 20 years have taught me alot…. Choose someone who has a heart of gold, same family goals in life as you and do NOT let too much time pass. Reflect, but absolutely move toward your best life. I met someone and had two more children later in life (at 37 and 40) it’s very hard to be older and do this :/ no man is perfect. But he can be perfect for you ❤

[@mignoncobra]

I find your content super relaxing, Kendel. I listened to your podcast and I just wanted to say, you're going to do amazing things, regardless of who is by your side. You are a wonderful shining light and your subscribers will continue to watch your content and support you, no matter what!!

[@Tinelft]

I‘m 26 and still the best thing to do, when I feel bad ist spending time with my mom 💕 Wishing you all the best and I hope you had a great time 🎀💕

[@kendelkay]

ok we are the same! moms are wonderful sometimes. thank you for the sweet message 😍

[@Jennifer-tt6jd]

I am listening to your podcast and want to tell you that you are so sweet, kind, and thoughtful. This is just a little bump in the road! You will get through it. We are your people!! Much love 🩷

[@parultiwari3966]

you and luke were my favs to watch together so wholesome !! 🎀✨🌻but everything happens for a reason , with my entire heart keep glowing & shining 🌼🕯️✨

[@JasmineWuRealEstate]

Aww love these vlogs Kendel! Keep staying true to yourself ❤ as a Christian girlie, that sucks how hypocritical the reason your partner used to end the relationship - he knew from the beginning and you were perfectly honest from the start. Your energy from your ig to KZbin to podcast is so wholesome and positive - that’s terrible to describe your partner as “demonic”. And it’s so interesting that I was just showing my mom the pic of you in the bikinis including the red one and she thought you looked like a real life Barbie - this was a week ago before I knew about what happened. Stay strong and trust in the universe / whatever higher power you believe in to guide you ❤ the right man will love you for who you are

[@frugalhousewife9878]

Right? Surely the fact that Kendel is a model and looks the way she does is part of what attracted him in the first place? I guess I just don't understand why men can be so possessive.

[@DenaJeanne]

What a beautiful tree and loved seeing you with your family. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season as well as healing vibes as you start this next chapter of your life.

[@elizaperez2211]

Your vlogs are so wholesome :) beautiful vibes ❤ ily

[@hollowclarity]

With all that happened, I hope you keep on doing great🩷🩶 also the mood of this vlog is just really pretty. Such a lovely family 🌸

[@SeattleDonna206]

Time and distance are great minimizes of past events that were unpleasant. I’m happy you made the extremely long trip home!! Beautiful video as always.

[@domiorellana8935]

Omg Kendel ! I just heard the podcast and I am here to tell you everything is gonna be fine ! And also I am hear cause the vibes are vibing ! You give girly angel energy, someone that says the contrary … bye lol 🎀

[@HotaruMimiuchi]

Such a nice wholesome vlog. Your mom is great. Glad that you got to have a nice Thanksgiving with them. Your tree is so cute. I just put up mine too. It's a pencil tree too (best for the space of our apartment). I look forward to vlogmas!❤

[@kendelkay]

[@ximechavez1940]

I’m from South Lake Tahoe and it’s still not snowing. We usually have snow at the end of October. December 3rd today… By the way you look so glowing. I see beautiful things coming. I’m really enjoying more your lifestyle right now than before. You are a very interesting person Xxoox 🌸✨🎀💖

[@kendelkay]

wow! so it's the same for you. thank you for the sweet message this means so much ☺

[@SheDetective]

You’ll get through this Kendal! You’ll find love again! I was torn over my ex and found an amazing man whom I love so much! I am so lucky to have him & so thankful we found each other! Sometimes life gives us what we need, even if we go through darkness to get it! ❤❤❤❤

[@alyssamariedavid5398]

Where can I watch your podcast?

[@marcusmole6372]

Sending love to you Kendel! This is a great opportunity for you to find someone who appreciates you for who you are💕 You are going to be sad for a while but be happy you are not wasting more years on someone who’s not helping you to be the best version of yourself ✨great things lie ahead 💘

[@AnuKumari-yz9bu]

Hi Kendal, I just heard your podcast and I'm so sorry you had to hear all that, but I still feel you should ask him to provide for your lifestyle till you don't get back on your feet. He is a traditional man and I believe traditional men should never leave their women like this.

[@kendelkay]

thank you for your compassion! and i appreciate your point of view. i will take this into consideration

[@melf.123]

He’s been telling her all this time to stop doing that kind of videos because he doesn’t approve it and she did it anyway. Of course he would give up on her and break up. So you’re wrong he should not provide for her anymore. ( no hate just my opinion )

[@studyhardplayhard5086]

LOLOLOLOL they werent married. he owes her absolutely nothing. she needs to provide for HERSELF. he told her what she was doing bothered him. She's not a victim.

[@AnuKumari-yz9bu]

@@melf.123 I agree but she also was too much dedicated to him. And he should consider her life after him as well. Because it was not just dating they were in a proper relationship.

[@gettingfmstatic]

my comment was deleted but.. girlfriends dont get alimony. shes not entitled to anything. she took a financial risk by making "stay at home girlfriend" her schtick and it didnt pan out. she'll be okay, but overall its a lesson as to why women need their own money and independence

[@tracychow7989]

Hi, Sorry to hear about you and Luke. Nevertheless, you’re much better without him. How dare he use the term “demonic” to describe your modeling . Sounds like a Puritan hypocrite. You are not “starting from scratch” you are a successful content creator and no need to be a stay at home girlfriend. Be true to yourself!

[@studyhardplayhard5086]

oh please. it was a matter of time. anyone with a brain knew he wasn't going to marry her. men don't want do nothing women..successful men are attracted to women with their own shit going on. she's the opposite of that

[@user-dv8bs7tb5c]

Id agree he's a hypocrite.. being that he lived with her and had sex before marriage I'm sure and was cool with not marrying you for this many years. Your young years are for learning. I don't think that it's wrong for him to say that he's uncomfortable with something.. and sounds like he was giving an indication of what he'd like his future wife to behave like... However if that's not for you ... Ok. I don't know you guys Kendall, but anyone who holds values half the time, is a bit questionable...

[@jessicapeters7102]

Was the fact that Luke is so religious a red flag for you?

[@PebbleBeachLife]

Wait, what?? You and Luke? 😭😭😭😭

[@user-dv8bs7tb5c]

Just let this be a lesson not to give up on loving a home making lifestyle...but giving a taste of that is fine but you only go all in when he's your husband, I think Luke's right to express that he's not comfortable with certain things.. but you hit the nail on the head.. he should have never persued an only fans girl if his values don't align with that. He is clearly conflicted himself .. I say this as someone new to Christianity myself and can't be on my high horse. Sounds like you are not on the same wavelength and it just came to a head. I hope it doesn't make either of you bitter in anyway for your next relationship. If he wants a Christian woman, he ought to probably look at what he's doing.... And focus on aligning himself with God not worry so much what the other person is doing. Sex before before marriage etc isn't exactly a highly Christian way to go about it if that's what he wants. Sounds like he dragged you along. I'm sorry. On the flip side, as a wife, and not a perfect one, I agree with Luke on what bothered him, I think that's a fine and reasonable request to not want you having bikini photo shoots at home or at all. I don't know a guy who would love that. However you also just seem comfortable and look at it a different way than be does - It's just a total mismatch at a base level. You sound lost, and I feel so bad. Thinking of you. I hope you still pour into a future relationship , but understand what to reserve for your husband. I don't think his love was NOT unconditional, I think he wanted you to value what he values... and you just don't. That's part of life. Clearly he needs to live differently himself to attract what he says he's into. Good luck to you both

[@jessicapeters7102]

He's a typical so-called Christian picking and choosing the parts of the religion that suit him. 🙄

[@gettingfmstatic]

@@jessicapeters7102 so spot on. from their podcast, i thought it was weird when she said that he brought up her onlyfans work when he broke up with her, but i see that her photos got leaked and now its got me wondering. he and his family probably didnt like that. the irony of them meeting through her onlyfans manager too i think it was awesome she does onlyfans and acknowledged its legitimate work, because it is!

[@jessicapeters7102]

Right? It's her body, not his.

[@gettingfmstatic]

@@jessicapeters7102 exactly! he is weak. she wasnt hurting anyone. meanwhile, google around on luke and his family and theres some less than christian things going on

[@user-dv8bs7tb5c]

@@jessicapeters7102 I'd agree with that, I think if you're born in it it's probably alot harder to appreciate... Hope he figures it out truly and doesn't just have a mother in his ear.

[@studyhardplayhard5086]

your skin looks so dry and leathery. Try eating more fats. Try eating MORE in general. starving yourself is ruining your skin.

[@s.r6331]

It's cold weather. Do u not know what that does to your skin?

[@studyhardplayhard5086]

her skin looks like this no matter the season. She starves her body, hence the aging. plus, she lives in so cal. its like 70 degrees @@s.r6331
