Jen Affleck, star of Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, has filed for divorce from her husband Zac Affleck after more than seven years of marriage. The reality television personality submitted the petition on November 3 in Utah’s Fourth Judicial District Court in Provo, according to court documents reported by PEOPLE and TMZ.
The filing comes as Jen is expecting the couple’s fourth child, adding another major development to a relationship that has been closely followed by viewers of the Hulu reality series. Alongside the divorce petition, Jen reportedly submitted a proposed parenting plan, although its details have not been made public.
The court documents do not disclose the reason for the separation or specify the custody arrangements being requested. Neither Jen nor Zac had publicly addressed the filing in the initial reports.
A Relationship That Played Out on Mormon Wives
Jen and Zac first met in 2018 through Mutual, a dating app associated with the Mormon community. They married in June 2019 and have since welcomed three children: Nora, Luca and Penelope. Jen announced her fourth pregnancy in June 2026.
Their relationship became a significant storyline on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which follows the personal lives of Utah’s MomTok influencer circle. During the show’s first season, viewers saw the couple navigate disagreements involving Zac’s gambling and Jen’s social life, raising questions about the future of their marriage.
The pair later sought therapy and briefly separated during the show’s second season. They eventually reconciled and continued appearing together in subsequent seasons, although tensions surrounding their relationship and Jen’s career ambitions remained part of the series.
Season five brought renewed attention to their disagreements, particularly over Jen’s professional opportunities and independence. Those developments now provide context for the divorce filing, although the petition itself does not establish a specific reason for the split.
Jen Affleck’s Next Chapter on Hulu
The divorce news arrives shortly before Jen’s appearance in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, the upcoming spinoff following her move from Utah to Southern California. The series is scheduled to premiere on Hulu on November 12.
According to reports, Zac did not participate in filming the spinoff, meaning the show may not provide his perspective on the couple’s latest developments. Whether the divorce filing will be addressed in the series remains unclear.
For viewers who have followed Jen and Zac’s relationship across multiple seasons, the filing marks a significant change after years of reconciliation efforts and public discussions about their marriage.
With Jen preparing to welcome another child and continuing her reality television career, the next chapter of her personal life is likely to remain a subject of interest. However, the reasons behind the divorce and the details of their parenting arrangements have yet to be publicly established.
