The real-life relationship map of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is constantly moving. Hulu’s current cast guide lists Jen Affleck, Demi Engemann, Whitney Leavitt, and Mayci Neeley as married; Mikayla Matthews as separated; and Jessi Draper, Layla Taylor, and Miranda Hope as divorced or divorced and single. Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen are no longer together, and their current story includes an unresolved legal and custody dispute rather than a settled romance.

Below, current status, relationship history, and show/legal context are kept separate. That distinction matters because the series was filmed earlier than some of the reporting, and allegations involving Taylor and Dakota or Jessi’s storyline should not be written as proven facts.

At a glance: who is married, separated, divorced, or single?

The table below uses Hulu’s current cast guide where it provides a relationship label, then adds the relationship history reported by Us Weekly and Marie Claire. These are publication snapshots, not permanent descriptions of the cast members’ private lives.

Cast member Current status Partner, ex, or co-parent Important context
Taylor Frankie Paul No longer with Dakota Mortensen; legal and custody issues remain unresolved Former husband Tate Paul; former partner and co-parent Dakota Mortensen A 2026 domestic-assault investigation involves allegations in both directions. No final criminal finding is established by the reporting reviewed.
Jen Affleck Married Zac Affleck They reportedly separated briefly off-screen, reunited during Jen’s third pregnancy, and welcomed daughter Penelope in July 2025.
Demi Engemann Married Bret Engemann Demi was previously married to Blake Corbin, with whom she shares daughter Maude.
Whitney Leavitt Married Connor Leavitt Their marriage was tested by Connor’s reported secret Tinder account and the couple’s move back to Utah.
Mayci Neeley Married Jacob Neeley Mayci has two daughters with Jacob and a son, Hudson, from her earlier relationship with Arik Mack.
Mikayla Matthews Separated Jace Matthews Us Weekly reported that they separated while filming season three; Hulu’s guide lists Mikayla as separated, not divorced.
Jessi Draper Divorced Jordan Ngatikaura They separated in September 2024, and Us Weekly reported Jordan filed for divorce in March 2026. Hulu’s current guide labels Jessi divorced.
Layla Taylor Single and divorced Former husband Clayton Wessel; former dating partner Chase McWhorter Layla and Clayton share two sons. Hulu also notes that Layla briefly dated a co-star’s brother.
Miranda Hope Single and divorced Former husband Chase McWhorter Miranda and Chase share two children. Chase also appears in Layla’s reported dating history.

How to read this guide: Current status means the relationship label in the most recent Hulu cast snapshot or the latest dated reporting supplied for this article. Relationship history covers former spouses, dating partners, and co-parents. Show/legal context identifies what was documented on the series or reported as part of a legal dispute. Those categories are not interchangeable.

Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen

Current status: Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen are no longer together in the relationship history covered here. Their current public situation is better described as a co-parenting and legal matter than as a romance.

Relationship history: Taylor previously married Tate Paul. Us Weekly reported that they married in 2016, had two children, and divorced in 2022. Taylor later had a son with Dakota, but Taylor and Dakota subsequently split.

Show/legal context: A 2026 incident involving Taylor and Dakota led to an open domestic-assault investigation, with allegations reported in both directions. The Associated Press reported in April 2026 that a Utah court commissioner ordered Taylor’s visits with their son to be supervised on an interim basis.

That development should not be presented as a final criminal finding against either person. The allegations remain allegations in the reporting reviewed here, and an interim family-court visitation order is not the same thing as a criminal conviction or a completed fact-finding process. Because the matter involves a child and competing claims, older footage or social-media posts should not be treated as proof of either person’s current circumstances.

Jen Affleck and Zac Affleck

Current status: Hulu’s current cast guide lists Jen Affleck as married to Zac Affleck.

Relationship history: Us Weekly reports that Jen and Zac began dating in 2018 and married in 2019. The couple reportedly experienced a brief separation away from the cameras after joining the show. They reunited during Jen’s third pregnancy and welcomed their daughter Penelope in July 2025.

Show/legal context: Their storyline illustrates why the show’s timeline can be confusing. A relationship may look uncertain in material filmed months earlier even when the cast guide later describes the couple as married. The brief separation and reunion are reported developments, while the current status supplied by Hulu is married.

Demi Engemann and Bret Engemann

Current status: Hulu currently lists Demi Engemann as married to Bret Engemann.

  • Designed for concrete, brick and wood studs wall (single stud).
  • Designed for TVs up to 80 lbs (36.3 KG) and display sized 26" - 55" (66 CM - 140 CM).
  • Designed for VESA sized from 3.9'' x 3.9'' through 15.7'' x 15.7''.
  • Comfortable View with tilt range from +10° to -5°.

Relationship history: Before Bret, Demi was married to Blake Corbin from 2015 to 2020. Demi and Blake share a daughter, Maude. Us Weekly reports that Demi married Bret in 2021. Hulu’s cast guide identifies Bret as a former Bachelorette contestant.

Show/legal context: Demi’s relationship map includes both a previous marriage and a current marriage, so describing Bret as her husband does not erase Blake’s role as Maude’s father. The available sources support those relationship facts without establishing a broader account of every private dispute or allegation involving people connected to the cast.

Whitney Leavitt and Connor Leavitt

Current status: Hulu lists Whitney Leavitt as married to Connor Leavitt.

Relationship history: Us Weekly reports that Whitney and Connor have been married since 2016. Their relationship was tested after Connor admitted to maintaining a secret Tinder account to solicit NSFW images.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Show/legal context: The first season documented the couple’s move back to Utah and their efforts to work on the marriage. Connor’s reported admission is part of the relationship history covered by the show and entertainment reporting; it should not be expanded into claims about conduct that the supplied sources do not establish.

Mayci Neeley and Jacob Neeley

Current status: Hulu currently lists Mayci Neeley as married to Jacob Neeley.

Relationship history: Mayci’s earlier relationship history includes her son Hudson with Arik Mack. Mack died in a 2015 car crash before Hudson was born. Mayci later met Jacob, and they have two daughters together.

Show/legal context: Mayci’s past challenges are also reflected in her writing. Hulu identifies Told You So as Mayci’s memoir, making it the most direct way for readers to explore her personal story beyond the cast’s relationship chart. It is a memoir about Mayci’s experiences, not a comprehensive account of every cast member’s romantic history.

Mikayla Matthews and Jace Matthews

Current status: Hulu’s current cast guide lists Mikayla Matthews as separated from Jace Matthews.

Relationship history: Mikayla and Jace married in 2018 after welcoming their first child. They later had three more children, giving them four children together.

Show/legal context: Us Weekly reported that Mikayla and Jace separated while filming season three. The distinction between separated and divorced matters here: the supplied sources support Hulu’s separated label, but do not establish that the couple has finalized a divorce.

Jessi Draper and Jordan Ngatikaura

Current status: Hulu’s current guide lists Jessi Draper as divorced from Jordan Ngatikaura. Us Weekly reported that Jordan filed for divorce in March 2026, so the guide’s label and the dated filing should be understood as separate points on a changing timeline rather than as interchangeable legal documents.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Relationship history: Jessi was previously married to Zac Gish from 2014 to 2019. She later married Jordan in October 2020. Marie Claire reported that they formed a blended family that included Jordan’s daughter Peyton and their two children together.

Show/legal context: The relationship became a major storyline after allegations involving Vanderpump Villa personality Marciano Brunette. Marie Claire reported that Jessi and Jordan separated in September 2024 while dealing with relationship problems. Those allegations should remain attributed and qualified; they are not established facts simply because they became part of reality-TV coverage.

Jessi’s background also extends beyond relationships: Hulu and Marie Claire describe her as a salon entrepreneur. That business context helps explain her place in the wider #MomTok cast, but it does not support an endorsement of any particular hair-care product or styling tool.

Layla Taylor and Clayton Wessel

Current status: Hulu currently lists Layla Taylor as single and divorced from Clayton Wessel.

Relationship history: Us Weekly reports that Layla was married to Clayton for three years and that they share two sons. They divorced in 2023. Layla later dated Chase McWhorter, but that relationship ended.

Show/legal context: Hulu also notes that Layla briefly dated a co-star’s brother. The available material does not require identifying that relationship as a marriage or treating it as more than a reported dating connection. Layla’s status as Clayton’s ex-wife and Chase’s former dating partner should be kept distinct from her current single status.

Miranda Hope and Chase McWhorter

Current status: Hulu lists Miranda Hope as divorced and single.

Relationship history: Miranda was married to Chase McWhorter from 2017 to 2023, and they have two children together.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Show/legal context: Chase also appears in Layla Taylor’s reported dating history after Layla’s divorce from Clayton. That overlap is relevant to the cast’s relationship web, but it is not a complete account of either Miranda’s or Layla’s private life. The safest description supported by the sources is that Miranda and Chase are divorced co-parents and that Chase and Layla were previously reported to have dated.

Why the cast’s relationship statuses can look contradictory

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives follows the women associated with #MomTok, but reality television is filmed, edited, and released on a delay. A marriage can be intact when an episode is released but have gone through a separation during filming; a filing can occur after a season has finished production; and an official cast page can later use a shorter status label than a detailed news timeline.

For that reason, the most responsible way to describe these relationships is to name the source and date when the detail matters. Hulu’s guide is useful for the current snapshot. Us Weekly supplies several dating, marriage, and separation timelines. Marie Claire provides additional context for Jessi’s family and business history. The Associated Press is the appropriate source for the reported 2026 legal development involving Taylor and Dakota. None of those sources turns an allegation into a proven fact.

Season-five update

The franchise is continuing, but future-season information is volatile. According to the August 2026 update reviewed for this guide, season-five production had paused and later resumed after a pause linked to the Taylor-Dakota investigation. That update did not confirm a premiere date.

The return of production also does not automatically update the relationship statuses above; those should be refreshed against Hulu’s latest cast information and dated reporting at publication.

Where to watch and what to read next

Hulu’s official guide identifies Hulu as the exclusive streaming home for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. To revisit the #MomTok cast and compare the show’s filmed timeline with later developments, stream The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu. Subscription terms, availability, and commercial offers can vary by geography and change over time.

For a companion read directly connected to the cast, look for Mayci Neeley’s memoir, Told You So. It offers Mayci’s own memoir-based perspective on her past challenges rather than a gossip-style summary of the entire ensemble.

Source note: This guide uses Hulu’s cast and series information, the Associated Press report from April 2026, and dated relationship reporting from Us Weekly and Marie Claire. Because relationship labels, legal proceedings, streaming availability, and future-season plans can change, verify the latest status before republication.

The supplied Hulu snapshot lists Jen Affleck, Demi Engemann, Whitney Leavitt, and Mayci Neeley as married. Mikayla Matthews is listed as separated, while Jessi Draper, Layla Taylor, and Miranda Hope are listed as divorced or divorced and single. Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen are no longer together, with an unresolved legal and custody matter covered separately.

No. Taylor and Dakota subsequently split. A 2026 domestic-assault investigation involved allegations reported in both directions, and the Associated Press reported an interim supervised-visitation order involving Taylor and their son. The supplied reporting does not establish a final criminal finding against either person.

Is Jessi Draper’s divorce from Jordan Ngatikaura final?

Hulu’s current cast guide labels Jessi divorced, while Us Weekly reported that Jordan filed for divorce in March 2026. Those facts describe the reported timeline, but the sources reviewed here do not independently establish the date of a final court dissolution.

The Bottom Line

The cast’s relationship map is more complicated than a simple married-or-single list: Jen, Demi, Whitney, and Mayci are listed as married; Mikayla is listed as separated; Jessi, Layla, and Miranda are listed as divorced or divorced and single; and Taylor’s situation with Dakota is now primarily a contested legal and co-parenting matter. The show’s filming timeline should not be confused with the cast’s latest reported status.
