Jena Frumes Shares Her Relatable 'Mom Life' Struggles On Social Media

Jena Frumes makes motherhood look accessible to her 4.8 million Instagram followers, but she has many of the same mom struggles as everyone else.

The single mom to Jason, who will be 2 in May, with ex Jason Derulo, shared a video on Instagram of relatable "mom life" struggles and how she recently took a day to enjoy some fun relaxation.

"We all know it's easier said than done not to let things that we have no control over affect us, but I have a friend who manages to stay positive through a lot of situations; she decided to come over today, and she was like, 'We're gonna have a pool party today,'" Frumes began her video. "So I ordered a bunch of stuff from Five Below for the kids, and she came over with her daughters and dog, and everyone just had a blast."

Her video shows the kids blowing bubbles, playing in the pool, eating pizza, and enjoying the day poolside.

Frumes captioned the video explaining how tough the "mom life" can sometimes be and why it's essential to have "friends who understand."

"It's been so hard having a life outside caring for Bubba, cooking, cleaning, and remembering to shower. I hope I can one day get back to regular social life. Until then, I need friends to understand. Sometimes, I need someone to keep me company for a good cry, vent session, and pool day. #MomLife"

Many of Frumes' followers could relate to the mom's struggles and hopped into the comment section to leave their thoughts.

"You need good “mom friends” who are in the trenches of motherhood too," one person wrote. Another added, "The days are long, but the years are short. Enjoy every second! Before you know it, he’ll walk 50 feet ahead of you at the mall because he will be too cool. ❤️"

Another follower could relate and gave Frumes some motivating words. "Raising toddlers is one of the hardest things a person can go through in their life. I’m speaking from experience. It’s lonely and draining, but the most rewarding and beautiful moment of your life. Hang in there. You look like you’re doing a great job ❤️."

Another mom left a comment about how moms understand her struggles. "Moms everywhere understand. We’re all going through the same thing 🤗."

Frumes and Derulo broke up in September 2021 after she accused Derulo of cheating on more than one occasion during their on-again-off-again relationship.

In June 2022, the model shared a bikini selfie on Instagram and captioned, "You are beautiful, you are worth it, and YOU are irreplaceable. Don’t forget that💙," which attracted some hateful comments. She shared an Instagram Story explaining a few things to address the unnecessary hate.

According to Page Six, the Story reads, "Women don't deserve to be treated and judged the way they are. No one aspires to be a single mom. It's the biggest heartbreak and failure for me knowing I',m alone in this when I wanted to love and marriage & the happy family unit," she wrote. "But if your non-negotiables are being tested, you'll never find peace in that relationship."

Her Story continued to explain there's nothing she wanted more than for her family to be together, but she realized that wasn't going to happen with the situation the way it was. Her Story also had a plea for people to "stop blaming the women like we chose the single mother life."

Many of her followers have left comments on her Instagram content supporting her single mom's life and the relatable things she shares.

"I love how you cook with your boy. More mommies need to incorporate this into their daily routines. Normalize this, 🙏🏾" one follower wrote on a cooking demo video. In another video of Frumes painting the walls in her home, a follower wrote, "Where did you find all that energy? You are a businesswoman and mother and also do all this housework. I am proud to follow a woman like you. ❤️"
