Just weeks before her divorce filing became public, Mercedes Javid was sharing hopeful messages about change, growth, and self-discovery. The “Shahs of Sunset” alum, who officially filed for divorce from her husband Tommy Feight on Monday, October 20, had been reflecting on her next chapter long before the announcement made headlines.
Mercedes Javid’s Message About Growth Before Divorce Announcement
On September 30, Mercedes posted a calm, introspective video on Instagram, offering followers a look inside a chic bedroom and pool area. The video included a close-up of a wall art piece that read “Dream Big,” while her message — written over the clip — hinted at personal transformation.
“Prioritize your dreams. Manifest your goals. Change is beautiful. Growth is necessary,” she wrote.
The video’s audio added even more emotional weight, with a soft voiceover saying, “One day, you realize it was never about the big things. You realize it was actually about the little moments that feel like magic.” Fans quickly noticed how peaceful and introspective the post felt, with many now viewing it as a sign of what was coming.
