The highly anticipated third season of Hulu's gripping reality series, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, premieres on Thursday, 13th November 2025, promising another dramatic look into the lives of its stars.
The show, which became a hit after its second season concluded in July, follows a group of Mormon social media influencers who first found fame through their 'MomTok' content. While the series focuses on the women—Taylor Frankie Paul, Jennifer Affleck, Mayci Neeley, Demi Engemann, Whitney Leavitt, Jessi Ngatikaura, Mikayla Matthews, and Layla Taylor—their husbands also frequently appear, offering a glimpse into their complex relationships, many of which began when they married young.
Inside the Marriages and Scandals
Jennifer and Zac Affleck met on the Mormon dating app Mutual in 2018. Jennifer was just 18 when she married Zac, then 21, in June 2019. They have three children: Nora, Luca, and Penelope. Their relationship faced public scrutiny during the first season, with co-stars labelling Zac's behaviour as controlling. The couple briefly separated between seasons one and two but have since reconciled, with Jennifer stating on 'The Viall Files' podcast that she has found her voice.
Whitney and Conner Leavitt have been married since August 2016. Whitney, 32, had known of Conner's family since her mission trip in the 2010s, but they didn't officially meet until a double date in 2015. They are parents to three children: Sedona, Liam, and Billy Gene.
Jessi and Jordan Ngatikaura's marriage, which began in 2020, was rocked by a cheating scandal during the season two finale. Jessi, 33, was allegedly involved with Marciano Brunette from 'Vanderpump Villa' during a crossover filming trip to Italy in the summer of 2024. Jessi has admitted they were going through a 'rough patch' but are 'working through things.'
Overcoming Past Trauma and New Beginnings
Mayci Neeley married Jacob in 2018. Her journey to this marriage was marked by tragedy; her previous boyfriend, Arik Mack, was killed in a car crash in March 2015. Later that year, she gave birth to their son, Hudson. She met Jacob through friends when Hudson was seven months old, and she credits him with healing her 'broken heart.' Jacob has since adopted Hudson, and they have two daughters together.
Demi Engemann was previously married to Blake Corbin from 2015 to 2020, with whom she shares a daughter, Maude. After struggling with postpartum depression, she divorced and reconnected with childhood friend Bret Engemann. Despite a 16-year age gap, they began dating in the summer of 2020 and married in an intimate ceremony in March 2021. Demi is now a stepmother to Bret's two children from previous relationships.
At just 25, Mikayla Matthews has been married to Jace Terry since 2018. They met after she left home at 15, had their son Beckham when she was 17, and married the following year. They now have three daughters, and Mikayla has praised Jace for supporting her through a chronic illness.
Divorce and Moving Forward
The show's lead, Taylor Frankie Paul, 31, was married to Tate Paul for six years before their 2022 divorce. The split occurred after Taylor confessed to crossing a boundary in their 'soft-swinging' agreement and falling for Dakota Mortensen. They had a son, Ever, in March of last year but broke up in May of this year. Taylor is now single and preparing to lead season 22 of The Bachelorette.
Layla Taylor, 24, was married to Clayton Wessel for three years before divorcing in 2023. They married after she fell pregnant a year into their on-and-off relationship, which she later described as 'toxic.' She is now a single mother to their two sons.
The cast also includes Miranda McWhorter, who was involved in the swinging scandal that inspired the show. She has since divorced her husband, Chase, and remains on the series.
Season three of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives arrives on Hulu on Thursday, 13th November, ready to unveil more of the intricate and often turbulent lives of its compelling cast.
