The romantic relationships of the cast members on Hulu’s ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ have consistently been a key element of the show, driving much of its emotional weight and drama. Viewers have been given a glimpse into the intimate details of their personal lives, often revealing more than expected. In the second season, Jessi and Jordan Ngatikaura took center stage. Although their relationship appeared strong and harmonious for the majority of the season, a surprising revelation toward the finale disrupted that image and cast doubt and stirred tension.
Jessi and Jordan’s Relationship Was Shaken Amid Cheating Allegations
Jessi first crossed paths with Jordan while she was separated from her former husband, Zach. The connection between them was immediate and was grounded in their shared progressive outlook and openness toward building a fresh start. By the end of 2019, they made their relationship official and publicly praised one another for the emotional support they provided during life’s transitions. In July 2020, they discovered they were expecting their first child, and just two months later, Jordan proposed. Jessi happily accepted. Their son, Jagger Zayn Ngatikaura, was born on April 20, 2021, and the joys of parenthood were unbridled for them.
A few months later, on October 8, the couple tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony held in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. They began their new life together in Utah and formed a blended family that included Jordan’s daughter, Peyton, from a previous relationship. In January 2023, their family grew again with the arrival of their daughter, Jovi James Ngatikaura. Throughout the second season, Jessi and Jordan were viewed as a fun-loving and emotionally open couple. Jessi often spoke about how refreshing it was to be with someone who was neither possessive nor controlling.
However, things took a dramatic turn in the season finale when ‘Vanderpump Villa’ star Marciano Brunette sat down with Layla Taylor and claimed that he had an affair with Jessi. He alleged that during a trip to Italy in August 2024, they kissed and spent the night together, and that their connection continued beyond that. Jessi responded to the claims during the reunion episode via video call, firmly denying the affair. She stated that while she couldn’t reveal much due to the storyline unfolding in season three, Jordan was fully aware of the situation, and she had never betrayed his trust.
Jessi and Jordan Are Working Their Way Through the Separation
Following the dramatic end to season two, fans were left wondering whether Jessi and Jordan’s relationship would endure. Jessi has since confirmed that she and Jordan are currently separated and taking time apart to reflect and heal. At the same time, the couple has explicitly reiterated that they are still married. In a recent podcast interview, she shared that both of them recognized the need for growth and change, but emphasized that they were actively working toward it. She expressed hope for reconciliation, revealing that in season three, they’ve been transparent about their struggles and addressed everything head-on. Jessi admitted the past year had been challenging and acknowledged that reality TV can strain even the strongest of relationships.
Despite their separation, Jessi and Jordan have continued to demonstrate a lot of respect and a shared commitment to co-parenting their children. On Mother’s Day, Jordan publicly celebrated Jessi with a heartfelt message, praising her devotion and love as a mother. “There are so many things I admire about Jessi,” he wrote, “but the way you love and mother our kids is something I’m endlessly grateful for.” Jessi responded similarly on Father’s Day and expressed her love and appreciation for Jordan as a father and partner. While the two haven’t shared every detail, they’ve confirmed their separation while leaving the door open for a possible reunion in the future. In the meantime, they are spending a lot of time together socially and also seem to be seeking professional therapy alongside each other.
Jessi and Jordan Are Widely Recognized as Reality TV Stars
Together, Jessi and Jordan Ngatikaura have built a successful presence in both reality television and digital content creation. The former is the founder of JZ Styles, a thriving brand that includes a hair extension company, salon, and professional academy. She’s poured her energy into growing the business, which has already gained major traction in the beauty industry. Jordan, on the other hand, has transitioned from his earlier roles, including manager at RISE Energy and affiliations with Nasun solar panels and the Naughty Kitchen blog, into a full-fledged entertainment personality.
Jordan has become a well-known face in the digital space, especially on social media, as an ambassador for Bucked Up, a fitness supplement company, and a key figure in the DadTok community (an unofficial spinoff of the popular MomTok network). While their relationship has faced challenges, professionally, both Jessi and Jordan have established strong individual identities and have continued to connect with their audiences through authenticity and an open window into their family life.
