The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County star Aspyn Ovard has revealed that one of her daughters has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.<\/p>\n
The influencer shared the news in the show\u2019s premiere episode, during a therapy session with her ex-husband Parker Ferris. Aspyn and Parker share three daughters, and they haven\u2019t said which of their girls is ill or what type of cancer she has. Aspyn said the family has been living with the diagnosis for more than three years.<\/p>\n
The Mormon Wives spin-off landed on Hulu on 12 November, and Aspyn opened up about the diagnosis for the first time on screen. \u201cEverything happened just out of nowhere,\u201d she said. \u201cOne day she was okay, and then the next day, she wasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
Recalling the moment doctors broke the news, she said: \u201cAt the hospital, you\u2019re like, \u2018It has to be fine.\u2019 You can\u2019t fathom they\u2019re actually going to tell you that your baby has cancer. And that it\u2019s terminal.\u201d<\/p>\n
She also opened up about the uncertainty the family lives with every day. \u201cShe could be gone in a month, we don\u2019t know,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve been living like that for over three years, just having no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Aspyn, the family has been living \u201cscan to scan\u201d, and when the show was filmed their daughter had just had another stable scan.<\/p>\n
Aspyn was candid about how the diagnosis affected her marriage. \u201cMy marriage was nowhere near in a place to be able to make it through something like this,\u201d she said. \u201cWe weren\u2019t even going to make it through before this happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added that she still looked after Parker through it all. \u201cAnd through all of it, I feel like I still tried to take care of him because I know how hard he\u2019s grieving,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
In the therapy session, she told him: \u201cYou know that I will always take care of you because I always have! When everything goes to s**t, and things get really hard, I don\u2019t want you to have to do anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Later in the series, Parker reveals that doctors have called their daughter a \u201cwalking miracle\u201d, because it\u2019s unusual for a child with this type of cancer to have had this much time. <\/p>\n
Aspyn and Parker have three daughters: Cove, seven, Lola, five, and Elle, two.<\/p>\n
The pair married in October 2015, and Aspyn filed for divorce on 1 April 2024 after eight years of marriage. She filed on the same day she announced Elle\u2019s birth.<\/p>\n
