The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars are continuing to make headlines. Jessi Draper’s split from husband Jordan Ngatikaura happened after Season 4 of SLOMW dropped. However, it wasn’t exactly a shock.
In March 2026, Jordan filed for divorce from Jessi. The former couple shares two children, Jovi and Jagger. It was a contentious split, and Jordan requested a restraining order against Jessi. His request was later denied. Meanwhile, Jessi accused her ex of attending “orgies and sex parties,” and hiring escorts. Now, Jessi is addressing her post-split dating life and sharing her feelings about her divorce.

Jessi stunned SLOMW fans by smooching Miranda McWhorter’s ex-husband, Chase McWhorter, at a party. Then, she was seen hanging out with a group in Nashville, including Vanderpump Villa star Marciano Brunette. After Jessi and Marciano met during a crossover at Castello Rosato in Itay, they had an emotional affair.
In her Instagram video, Jessi shared how she is healing from her divorce. “I did a lot of mourning in my relationship,” Jessi explained. “I don’t know if anyone can relate to that.” She stated that “people don’t understand that I’m dating and hanging out and just having fun, and when you’re in a relationship where you don’t feel valued … it feels so nice to just talk to people who make you feel valued and treat you well.”
The MomTok member continued, “And I think one of the biggest comments I see is, ‘Go heal and focus on your children.'” She added, “I have my kids 50 percent of the time now, so I am focusing on healing and spending time with them. But when I don’t have them, I’m also focusing on myself and reprioritizing being happy, honestly.”
Finally, she added that “another part of healing is dating” and she is embracing this “new phase of life.” Naturally, Marciano popped up in the comments, stating, “Love this for you!!! @_justjessiiii you deserve the best and to be happy.” She responded, “@marcianob thanks for showing me what a man is.”
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is now streaming on Hulu.
