Jessi Draper Ngatikaura, a star of Hulu's 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives', is seen grappling with the fallout of an emotional affair with a cast member from 'Vanderpump Villa' in the newly released third season. The series, which dropped all episodes today, follows the group of Mormon wives as they navigate personal turmoil and group dynamics.
Draper Ngatikaura described the season as the 'most intense, emotional, vulnerable' yet, adding that filming was difficult but freeing. She noted that while she bonded with the other cast members, revisiting the affair months later for public consumption reopened old wounds.
Producer Jeff Jenkins praised Draper Ngatikaura and her husband Jordan for sharing their story, calling it rare to capture a couple in such a critical moment. He stressed the sensitivity of the situation, especially with children involved, and said they let Jessi and Jordan dictate how much to share.
The season also features drama among the wider group, including Taylor Frankie Paul, Layla Taylor, Miranda McWhorter, Demi Engemann, Jen Affleck, Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Matthews, and Whitney Leavitt. The show, which debuted in September 2024, has become Hulu's biggest reality hit, surpassing even 'The Kardashians'.
