Season 3 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives focuses heavily on Jessi Ngatikaura’s affair with Marciano Brunette. Viewers saw Jessi initiate a 90-day separation from her husband, Jordan Ngatikaura. While Jessi made it clear that there were marital problems before Marciano arrived on the scene, his revelation about the affair was the icing on the cake.
During the Season 2 SLOMW finale, Marciano told Layla Taylor that he and Jessi had an affair. Jessi met Marciano when some of the cast journeyed to Italy and stayed at Vanderpump Villa. Of course, Marciano also struck up a flirtation with Jessi’s former bestie, Demi Engemann.

Jessi previously stated that both she and Jordan made mistakes in their marriage. “Mine being the affair and his being the emotional abuse,” Jessi stated, “but I think it takes two to tango.”
The hair salon owner stated in SLOMW that she and Marciano shared two kisses and had an “emotional affair.” Jessi told US Weekly, “I wouldn’t say I was in love with him. It only lasted about two weeks, so it was quick. But I will say I confided in him a lot.”
She continued, “I did feel a connection to him in that sense because he was there for me and he made me feel special. Jordan would put me down a lot. Marciano told me how pretty and cool and fun I was.” Jessi added, “I felt like there was a connection there because he was giving me something I was lacking.”
Once Jessi told Jordan about Marciano, the couple thought that Jessi’s secret wouldn’t be exposed. “He was hurt that I ended what we had, and so it was his way of getting revenge – or just maybe telling my story to make himself feel better,” Jessi said of Marciano. “But I definitely know that Demi [Engemann] was a part of it as well.”
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
