The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives couple Jessi Draper and Jordan Ngatikaura marked their wedding anniversary just months before divorcing.
“Five years married to my ride or die, my best friend and the love of my life,” Jordan, 31, wrote via Instagram in October 2025. “We’ve been through it all highs, lows, laughter, lessons and somehow we just keep going.”
He added, “I’m so grateful for you @_justjessiiii for your heart, your fire and the way you love our family. Here’s to everything we’ve built and everything still ahead. I love you more than ever.”
Jessi, 33, replied, “Love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
News broke five months later on Thursday, March 19, that Jordan filed for divorce from Jessi.
“This has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart,” the DadTok founder told Us Weekly in a statement. “I’m grateful for the shared memories and the lessons. While our paths are now moving in different directions, my priority remains my children and ensuring they feel loved, supported, and protected through this transition.”
He concluded, “I am committed to handling this next chapter with kindness and respect. I kindly ask for privacy and understanding as we navigate this as a family.”
Jordan and Jessi had been married since 2020, during which time they welcomed two children. (Jordan also has an older daughter from a previous relationship.)
The JZ Styles owner and Jordan initially separated during Mormon Wives season 3 after Jessi admitted that she had an emotional affair with Vanderpump Villa personality Marciano Brunette.
“I wouldn’t say I was in love with him. It only lasted about two weeks, so it was quick. But I will say I confided in him a lot,” Jessi exclusively told Us in November 2025 of her connection with Marciano, 32. “The dynamic with Jordan that I had had in my marriage, I hadn’t really talked to anyone about it. My family and friends had been aware because they’d seen things, but I tried to be like, ‘Everything’s fine.’”
According to Jessi, her affair with Marciano was brief and never turned physical. When Mormon Wives cameras picked up for season 4, she and Jordan were still navigating their next steps.
“I haven’t made a decision about Jordan and I,” Jessi said during a confessional for season 4, which premiered on Hulu earlier this month. “I met with my dad to go over this prenup, but it’s been over five years.”
While revisiting her prenuptial agreement, Jessi allegedly discovered that there weren’t any witnesses listed in the contract.
“That could mean that the prenup is voided. This information has really rattled me because I just don’t know what that could mean for me, my business and the security of my family,” she noted on the show. “I just don’t know what will happen. I’ll probably lose millions. He’s entitled to anything in the last five years that I’ve created. When we got married, I was worth a lot less than I am now. So it just sucks and I don’t want to do that to my family.”
