Reality Star Jen Affleck Files for Divorce While Pregnant With Fourth Child

Jen Affleck, a cast member of Hulu's "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," filed for divorce from her husband Zac Affleck on November 3, 2026, in the Fourth Judicial District Court in Provo, Utah. The filing comes as Jen is pregnant with their fourth child, which was announced in June 2026. The couple met on the Mormon dating app Mutual in 2018, got engaged in 2019, and were married later that year. They have three other children: Nora (4), Luca (3), and Penelope (15 months).

According to court documents, Jen submitted a proposed parenting plan alongside the divorce petition, though the reasons for the separation and specific custody arrangements remain private. The filing occurs just days before the November 12 premiere of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County," a spinoff series documenting the couple's relocation to Southern California.

Throughout their marriage, the couple's relationship dynamics have been publicly documented on the original series, which premiered in September 2024. In interviews, Jen acknowledged the challenges of their seven-year marriage in recent months. In August 2026, she told People magazine: "It's been a lot the past couple of months, I'll be honest. But I do feel like I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and just trying to count my blessings every single day." She also disclosed that she experienced prenatal depression during her first trimester of her current pregnancy.

Jen Affleck rose to prominence as a MomTok influencer—a group of Utah-based mother content creators—before joining the Hulu docuseries. The couple previously separated, an event that was featured as a major storyline in the show's second season. During that separation, Jen discovered she was pregnant with their third child. In a 2024 Instagram post reflecting on the marriage, Jen wrote: "We were just kids when we got married. Young, naive, and inexperienced, we truly had no idea what we were getting ourselves into," while acknowledging that Zac had consistently supported her aspirations, including during her appearance on season 34 of "Dancing with the Stars."
