Stars of the reality series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Jessi Ngatikaura and Jordan Ngatikaura, are embarking on a new chapter in their lives. The couple recently moved into a new home after listing their previous property in Salt Lake City for $2.499 million in November. The timing of the sale coincided with the release of the third season of their show on Hulu, igniting speculation about their relationship status.
On Instagram, Jessi, 33, shared her excitement about the move on December 6, 2023, posting, “First day in our new home and feeling so blessed.” The property sale attracted significant attention, prompting a playful remark from their real estate agents about the swift transaction, which was completed in just 96 hours.
Recent events have kept the couple in the spotlight, particularly after Jessi revealed an affair with Vanderpump Villa star Marciano Brunette. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, she described their brief relationship, stating, “I wouldn’t say I was in love with him. It only lasted about two weeks so it was quick.” Jessi confided that during a difficult period in her marriage, she found solace in Brunette’s attention, contrasting it with her experience with Jordan, who she felt often belittled her.
The affair came to light when Jordan discovered it after checking Jessi’s phone. She acknowledged that the situation marked a turning point, stating, “It was a blessing in disguise because it needed to end.” Despite the turmoil, Jessi revealed she had previously contemplated divorce but chose to work on their marriage instead.
Jordan, 30, addressed the drama during an appearance on the The Viall Files podcast, expressing his commitment to focus on their family. “My plan is just to focus on my family. There’s going to be people that hate me and there’s going to be people that hate her,” he remarked. He emphasized the importance of moving forward together, stating, “What we’re doing now is what matters and turning into one another and not away from one another.”
Jordan also reassured Jessi that divorce was not an option for him, saying, “I told Jessi that if it ever gets like that again, I don’t want anything to do with this relationship either.” His resolve indicates a strong desire to rebuild their marriage amid the challenges they face.
As the couple settles into their new home, fans of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how Jessi and Jordan navigate this fresh start. Their journey reflects the complexities of relationships in the public eye, marked by personal struggles and the search for redemption.
