Some cast members are practising members, some were raised in the faith and drifted away, and some have openly said they\u2019re not Mormon. So, who on Mormon Wives: Orange County is actually Mormon? Here\u2019s where every cast member stands.<\/p>\n<h2>Jen Affleck<\/h2>\n<p>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.<br \/>\nbiography<\/p>\n<h2>Madison Bontempo<\/h2>\n<p>Madison is about as Mormon as it gets on this cast. \u201cWe\u2019re actually Mormon,\u201d 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 \u201cwould show more of what our religion is.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>McCall DaPron<\/h2>\n<p>If McCall looks familiar, that\u2019s because she\u2019s the older sister of original Mormon Wives star Mayci Neeley. Like Mayci, she\u2019s an active member of the church.<\/p>\n<h2>Jordan McClanahan<\/h2>\n<p>Jordan wasn\u2019t 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\u2019s a convert, and first came to the church through a programme it runs.<\/p>\n<h2>Ashleigh Pease<\/h2>\n<p>Ashleigh is also listed as Mormon, and she\u2019s shared posts about baby blessings, a tradition closely linked to the church.<\/p>\n<h2>Salom\u00e9 Andrea<\/h2>\n<p>Salom\u00e9 was raised Mormon, but her relationship with the church today is a little more complicated. Speaking on Avery Woods\u2019 podcast in 2023, she said she still sees herself as Mormon, just \u201cnot a Utah Mormon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She explained that she and her husband Aaron don\u2019t go to church, they drink and they have tattoos, but they each have their own relationship with God, which is why she says, \u201cI don\u2019t like to come out and say, \u2018I am not Mormon.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Bobbi Althoff<\/h2>\n<p>Bobbi has been completely upfront about this one. \u201cI am not Mormon, but I do have a Mormon brother,\u201d she said in an Instagram Story on 29 September. \u201cAnd I grew up going to Mormon church, like, twice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She was brought up in a household that considered itself Christian, but she said she \u201cstopped being religious\u201d during her four-year marriage to her ex-husband Cory Althoff, because religion \u201cwasn\u2019t a part of our lives.\u201d After their divorce in 2024, she started going to church again. \u201cDivorce is a very sad thing. I had to find something, so I started going to church again,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<h2>Avery Woods<\/h2>\n<p>Avery doesn\u2019t leave much room for doubt either. On a 2023 episode of her Cheers! podcast, she described herself as \u201cthe opposite of Mormon.\u201d She\u2019s also said she has never been religious.<br \/>\nhercampus<\/p>\n<h2>Aspyn Ovard<\/h2>\n<p>Aspyn\u2019s connection is a little more tangled. She was baptised and grew up in what she calls a \u201cMormon-adjacent\u201d community in Utah, but \u201cthat\u2019s kind of where it ends for me.\u201d Her dad grew up in the church and her mum was baptised when they got married.<br \/>\nyahoo<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like you\u2019re not Mormon,\u201d she explained on the Girlscamp podcast in 2025, \u201cbut you do follow a lot of similar things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><i>For
