Reality Star Jen Affleck Files for Divorce from Husband Zac After Seven Years

Jennifer Affleck, a prominent figure in the Hulu reality series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, has officially filed for divorce from her husband, Zac Affleck. Court documents obtained from the Fourth Judicial District Court in Provo, Utah, indicate that the filing occurred on November 3. The couple, who have been married for seven years, share three children—Nora, Luca, and Penelope—and are currently expecting their fourth child together.

The pair first met in 2018 through a dating application tailored for the Mormon community. At the time, Jen was 18 and Zac was 21. They married one year later, in 2019, and eventually gained significant social media attention as part of the MomTok influencer collective. Their relationship dynamics, including various periods of tension and reconciliation, became a central focus of the reality docuseries that brought them national recognition.

Throughout their time in the public eye, the Afflecks experienced several documented challenges. Following the first season of their show, the couple underwent a brief separation, which was later highlighted as a major narrative arc during the second season. It was during this period of separation that Jen discovered she was pregnant with their third child. Despite these difficulties, they remained together through subsequent seasons of the series.

In recent months, Jen had been candid about the pressures of navigating a high-profile marriage while managing personal health struggles. In August, she spoke with People magazine about the difficulties of the previous months, noting that she was working to move past significant challenges. Earlier in the year, she also shared her experience with prenatal depression, describing the first trimester of her current pregnancy as a particularly dark and isolating time, though she credited Zac for his support during that period.

The news of the divorce filing arrived just one day before the couple's daughter, Nora, celebrated her fifth birthday. In the hours following the public disclosure of the court documents, Zac Affleck posted a video tribute to his daughter on social media, expressing his affection for her. While the legal proceedings have commenced, details regarding a proposed parenting plan remain private.

Despite the dissolution of their marriage, Jen Affleck is scheduled to continue her television career. She is set to appear in the upcoming spin-off series, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, which is slated for a November 12 premiere on Hulu. The show follows the couple's recent relocation to Southern California as they navigated the complexities of their growing family and professional lives.
