Who would’ve thought The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives would be a petri dish of controversy? Actually, we did.

For those who need a refresher on the Chippendales episode, Demi Engemann, as a surprise for the group, organized a trip to see Chippendales, a male strip club. Taylor Frankie Paul, Jen Affleck, and Mikayla Matthews weren’t so psyched about the surprise though. “I literally will be a divorced woman,” Jen told Mayci. I’m not even kidding. I’m not even just jokingly saying that. I’m literally telling you Zac would literally divorce me over something like this.”
Zac did actually threaten to divorce Jen over this—“He said he doesn’t want to be married to me if I do stuff like this,” she said tearfully to Taylor.
“When it comes to Jen and Zac’s relationship, it is a little alarming to me the way that she talks about how Zac wants things to be a little bit more traditional,” Demi said in a confessional about Jen and Zac’s relationship. “Especially when it comes to the church, they think that their women owe them by doing things a specific way to prove that they are only that man’s wife and it’s so strange to me. It’s like you can have fun with your girls and go out and wear what you want to wear and be completely loyal to your husband.” Fast forward to Season 2, and Jen and Zac’s relationship still seems to be on the rocks. But are they still together?
Are Jen and Zac still together from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives?
Jen confirmed she and Zac were still together in an interview with People in May 2025 in which she revealed that they had moved past their Chippendales incident from Season 1 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
“Zac and I can’t run away from Chippendales apparently, but hey, we’ve seen the light at the end of the tunnel. If you’ve followed my social media, you know that,” she said. “We’ve taken some trips to Chippendales now, so now it’s something that we laugh about.” She continued, “Obviously it’s still traumatizing to think about actually what we went through regarding Chippendales. Can’t seem to run away from it.”
During The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 2 premiere episode, Jen revealed that she and Zac had separated in between Season 1 and 2, though they reconciled later in the season. Jen and Zac met in 2018 and married in 2019. They share two children, a daughter named Nora and a son named Lucas. “We were so young when we first became parents, with lots to learn, but Zac has always been there every step of the way. He’s never wavered in giving Nora and Luca everything they need,” the mom wrote on Instagram in honor of Father’s Day 2024.
Jen announced that she was pregnant with her and Zac’s third child in February 2025. “I was a few days late, and while it was a surprise, we both had a feeling there was another baby waiting for us,” she told People at the time. “We were very excited, there were a lot of emotions after a very crazy year!”
She continued, “Nora has been hoping for a little sister, and I can tell she really wants it to be a girl! I have a strong feeling it’s a girl. I’ve dreamed about this little girl for a while now, and I truly believe she’s the one I’m carrying.” The moment Jen learned she was pregnant played out in Season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. The episode saw her break down in tears once she saw the positive pregnancy test, given that she and Zac were still separated and not officially back together at the time.
