Which Mormon Wives: Orange County cast members are actually Mormon, and which aren’t
It's less than you'd assume for a show revolving around that!
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County is finally here, but anyone expecting a cast full of churchgoers might be in for a surprise. Some cast members are practising members, some were raised in the faith and drifted away, and some have openly said they’re not Mormon. So, who on Mormon Wives: Orange County is actually Mormon? Here’s where every cast member stands.
Jen Affleck
The only cast member to make the jump from the original show, Jen is a practising member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which already sets her apart from a lot of her new castmates. She and Zac met on the Mormon dating app Mutual in 2018.

Madison Bontempo
Madison is about as Mormon as it gets on this cast. “We’re actually Mormon,” she said on the Pretty Dirty podcast in February 2026. She and her husband Kyler have five children and are members of the LDS church. On that same podcast, she said she wished the original Hulu series “would show more of what our religion is.”
McCall DaPron
If McCall looks familiar, that’s because she’s the older sister of original Mormon Wives star Mayci Neeley. Like Mayci, she’s an active member of the church.
Jordan McClanahan
Jordan wasn’t part of the original cast announcement. Reports suggest she was promoted to series regular during filming, taking the place of another cast member who had already been announced. She’s a convert, and first came to the church through a programme it runs.
Ashleigh Pease
Ashleigh is also listed as Mormon, and she’s shared posts about baby blessings, a tradition closely linked to the church.
Salomé Andrea
Salomé was raised Mormon, but her relationship with the church today is a little more complicated. Speaking on Avery Woods’ podcast in 2023, she said she still sees herself as Mormon, just “not a Utah Mormon.”
She explained that she and her husband Aaron don’t go to church, they drink and they have tattoos, but they each have their own relationship with God, which is why she says, “I don’t like to come out and say, ‘I am not Mormon.’”
Bobbi Althoff
Bobbi has been completely upfront about this one. “I am not Mormon, but I do have a Mormon brother,” she said in an Instagram Story on 29 September. “And I grew up going to Mormon church, like, twice.”
She was brought up in a household that considered itself Christian, but she said she “stopped being religious” during her four-year marriage to her ex-husband Cory Althoff, because religion “wasn’t a part of our lives.” After their divorce in 2024, she started going to church again. “Divorce is a very sad thing. I had to find something, so I started going to church again,” she said.
Avery Woods
Avery doesn’t leave much room for doubt either. On a 2023 episode of her Cheers! podcast, she described herself as “the opposite of Mormon.” She’s also said she has never been religious.

Aspyn Ovard
Aspyn’s connection is a little more tangled. She was baptised and grew up in what she calls a “Mormon-adjacent” community in Utah, but “that’s kind of where it ends for me.” Her dad grew up in the church and her mum was baptised when they got married.

“It’s like you’re not Mormon,” she explained on the Girlscamp podcast in 2025, “but you do follow a lot of similar things.”
So, despite the name, Mormon Wives: Orange County is really a mix of practising members, people who left the church and people who just grew up surrounded by it.
