It’s a lot, so here’s how many times all the Mormon Wives have been married and divorced
This is a whole mess
If there’s one thing The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives delivers, it’s relationship chaos wrapped in picture-perfect Utah aesthetics. And honestly? The cast’s marriage histories are wildly varied.
Some of these women married young and stayed put, others have had whole other lives (and husbands) before the show even started.
So, let’s get into who’s been married to who, who’s divorced who, and how it all fits into their lives on and off the show.
Jen Affleck – married once

Jen Affleck is the simplest to explain, because she’s only ever been married once.
She tied the knot with Zac Affleck in 2019, and that’s been her one and only love story.
No previous marriages, no divorces, no hidden exes waiting in the wings. Compared to the rest of the group, her situation is refreshingly drama-free.
Demi Engemann – married twice, divorced once

Demi Engemann, on the other hand, has a much more layered romantic history.
She first married Blake Corbin in 2015, and that relationship eventually ended in divorce in 2020.
Not long after, she married former NFL quarterback Bret Engemann in 2021, and his own past, including his previous marriage to Angie Harrington, who’s well-known in Utah circles, adds even more texture to their blended family.
Demi and Bret’s dynamic has become one of the show’s central storylines.
Whitney Leavitt – married once

Whitney Leavitt has had one long marriage, too.
She married Conner Leavitt in 2016, and while they’ve had their bumps (some of which have played out on social media and the show), there are no divorces or previous husbands in her past.
Just one relationship that’s been evolving in real time.
Mikayla Matthews – married once

Mikayla Matthews also has just one marriage behind her.
She married Jace Terry when they were building their young family, and they’ve stayed together ever since.
There are no past splits or secret timelines with her. Mikayla’s story is much more about navigating motherhood and group friendships.
Mayci Neeley – married once

For Mayci Neeley, it’s the same thing.
She married Jacob Neeley in 2018, and that’s the only marriage she’s ever had.
No divorces, no ex-husbands, just a solid long-term partnership that mostly stays out of the chaos.
Before Jacob, Mayci had a significant relationship with her ex, who sadly passed away in 2015.
Jessi Ngatikaura – married twice, divorced once

Jessi Ngatikaura’s timeline is more complex.
She was married once before, though her first husband wasn’t a public figure, and that marriage ended before she moved forward with Jordan Ngatikaura.
Jessi’s ex-husband was a man named Zach Gish. They were married from 2014 to 2019.
She and Jordan married in 2020, and their relationship has brought plenty of emotional ups and downs to the show, often becoming one of the most talked-about dynamics in the group.
Taylor Frankie Paul – married once, divorced once

Taylor Frankie Paul famously married Tate Paul in 2016, and their marriage came undone during the “soft-swinging” scandal that basically blew MomTok into mainstream attention.
Their divorce became official in 2022, and she hasn’t remarried since.
She and Dakota’s messy romance has played out over the past two seasons, and they hit an all-time low at the reunion.
Layla Taylor – married once, divorced once

Layla Taylor was also married once before her divorce.
She wed Clayton Wessel when she was younger, and the marriage lasted about three years before they officially split in 2023.
Since then, she’s been navigating single life and co-parenting, which has become a big part of her storyline.
Speaking to Reality Shrine, she said she had no regrets about her divorce and is now totally loved up with Mason McWhorter.
Miranda McWhorter – married once, divorced once

Miranda McWhorter married Chase McWhorter, but their relationship came to an end in 2024.
Their divorce, along with some of the fallout surrounding Chase, has shown up in both press coverage and the larger group narrative, adding even more intensity to an already dramatic cast.
Bret Engemann – married twice, divorced once

Bret Engemann has become one of the most recognisable husband-names orbiting the Mormon Wives world, mostly because his life intersects so many corners of Utah’s influencer scene.
Before marrying Demi in 2021, Bret was previously married to RHOSLC‘s Angie, who is still a familiar name among viewers and locals.
His past marriage, his kids from that relationship, and the way his worlds have blended with Demi’s all add an extra layer of intrigue to the show.
Bret’s presence brings a slightly different energy. He’s older, he’s been through a high-profile divorce before, and he tends to stand at the centre of some of the more layered family dynamics.
Whether he’s helping with the kids or navigating the tension that sometimes bubbles up between the women, Bret’s history is arguably part of what makes Demi’s storyline feel so full and messy.
Jordan Ngatikaura – married twice, divorced once

Jordan Ngatikaura has also become a major figure thanks to his complicated, very public relationship with Jessi.
The two married in 2020, and their marriage has carried a level of intensity that’s often spilt onto the show, from emotional ups and downs to moments the viewers immediately start dissecting online.
Jordan wasn’t Jessi’s first husband, but he’s the one who’s been part of the MomTok spotlight and the drama that follows the group.
Jessi also wasn’t Jordan’s first wife. He explained on an episode of Going Deeper with Nick Viall that he was married before.
He said that he lost his virginity at 18 and had a “shotgun wedding.”
The Mormon Wives star explained: “…Very soon, we realised she wanted to do the whole Mormon route… I just didn’t believe in it… But I wanted to, but I just couldn’t, and we decided not to be together any more. I felt so upset that I let my daughter down…”
