Jessi Draper isn’t keeping her dating life a secret.
At the 2026 American Music Awards on May 25th, star of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives gave an update on her dating life while attending with Marciano Brunette from Vanderpump Villa. This came as she is going through a divorce from Jordan Ngatikaura.
Jessi recently shared with TopMob News at the American Music Awards that she’s enjoying being single and dating after starting the divorce process. She was accompanied by Marciano, but emphasized she’s keeping things casual and focusing on enjoying life.
How are Marciano and Jessi enjoying their time together, especially since they were central figures in the drama during the show’s third season?
“I’m having a lot of fun,” he told TopMob News. “I’m enjoying it every day. It’s a blessing and I couldn’t be happier.”
Despite a difficult beginning, things have improved significantly, as Jessi described.
Jessi acknowledged that everyone’s probably gotten used to the drama, but she sees it as an unavoidable part of the work. She thinks you just have to learn not to take things too seriously.
She explained that their connection was especially strong at first, but now that people are accustomed to seeing them together, they’re simply enjoying themselves.
A sentiment Marciano couldn’t agree with more.
The most important thing for us was keeping the lines of communication open. We were honest with each other and didn’t want to hide anything, which allowed us to resolve the issue and move forward.

And as for her ongoing divorce, Jessi noted that though it can be painful, she’s taking it one day at a time.
Honestly, going through this is just… everything changes you, you know? Some days are amazing, and then others… I just completely fall apart, can’t even get up. Even on good days, I know the first year is going to be incredibly tough. Thankfully, we’re managing to co-parent, which is a huge relief – it’s all about the kids. They are my entire world, seriously. As long as they’re happy and okay, that’s all that matters to me, even if I’m a mess sometimes.
