Morphology
The phrase is largely compositional — 'divorced' + 'guy' + 'energy' can be parsed as 'the vibe/persona of a divorced man' — so a learner who knows the words can approximate the literal meaning. However, the use of 'energy' as slang for a particular vibe/persona and the cultural connotations tied to this label are modern and somewhat idiomatic, so a B1 learner may not grasp the full pragmatic nuance without exposure.
Etymology
Divorced guy energy may come from the picture of a divorced guy who, after his marriage ends, stops trying to impress people and relaxes into easy jokes and simple habits. So the phrase now means a 'relaxed, relatable vibe' that someone gives off.
