I’ve been following MomTok for a while now, and honestly, the community itself is incredibly resilient – it’s weathered a lot of storms! But it’s sad to see that hasn’t always translated to success in the love lives of some of the creators I enjoy watching.
The fourth season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives arrives on Hulu March 12th, offering viewers an inside look at the relationships of Taylor Frankie Paul, Whitney Leavitt, Jen Affleck, Jessi Draper Ngatikaura, Mayci Neeley, Demi Engemann, Mikayla Matthews, and Layla Taylor.
After ending her relationship with Dakota Mortenson in late 2024, Taylor is now ready to find love on season 22 of The Bachelorette. In a preview for the show, she declared, “It’s time for me to do what I want with whoever I want.”
After ending her relationship with Dakota shortly after giving birth to her 23-month-old son, Ever, and having previously co-parented 8-year-old Indy and 5-year-old Ocean with her ex-husband, Tate Paul, she’s determined to make the most of a new romance.
She shared that she sees this as a new beginning, hinting at her upcoming appearance on ‘Bachelor Nation.’ She believes people will quickly realize she’s a sincere and kind person who deserves to find love again.
While Taylor began a new romance, Jessi and Jordan Ngatikaura faced challenges in their marriage. Jessi, who shares five-year-old Jagger and three-year-old Jovi with Jordan, and also has a thirteen-year-old daughter, Payton, from a previous relationship, is shown in a trailer for Mormon Wives telling Taylor, “None of my friends and family like you.”
Jessi and her husband went through a difficult time in their relationship after she became emotionally involved with Marciano Brunette from Vanderpump Villa, and they briefly separated to work things out. She recently shared that they’ve since been able to rebuild their connection after five years of marriage.
Jessi recently told TopMob News that she and her partner are working on rebuilding their relationship. She acknowledged that relationships aren’t always easy and that it will take time and effort for them to get back on track, admitting it won’t be a quick fix.
Okay, so she finally admitted it – we’re in therapy! It’s not always easy, we definitely have our struggles, but honestly, she says we’re just being real and sharing everything, hoping other couples see themselves in us and realize they’re not alone. It’s so raw and honest, and I think that’s what makes it so powerful, you know? It’s our story, and she wants to help people with it.
With everyone eager to learn more about the popular moms from MomTok, here’s an update on where things stand with their relationships.
Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen began dating while filming the show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and had a son, Ever, together in 2024. However, their relationship ended because Dakota was unfaithful.
Taylor shared on the Hulu series that shortly after her daughter Ever was born, she and her boyfriend, Dakota, were happily living together and she was even thinking about getting engaged. However, she then discovered he had been dishonest with her the entire time.
Taylor learned from a woman named Jenna that she had a romantic relationship with Dakota, and that they had spent multiple nights together.
Taylor, who also shares children Indy and Ocean with her former husband, Tate Paul, stated that Dakota claimed Jenna started their affair.
She told the confessional that it was him who had been intimate with her. He’d initially claimed they only kissed on the couch, but she clarified they actually had sex there, and then moved to another room to continue.
Now that Taylor has ended her relationship with the founder of Basin Tiling, she’s enjoying life and is open to finding love again. She’ll be looking for a partner on season 22 of The Bachelorette.
Nonetheless, she and Dakota are committed to developing a successful co-parenting relationship.
In May 2025, Taylor told TopMob News that she and her partner are both working on themselves to become happier and healthier, realizing they couldn’t achieve that as a couple. She’s currently prioritizing their child and her own well-being, and isn’t sure what the future holds.
I’ve been a fan of Whitney and Connor Leavitt for years! It was so lovely to see them get married back in 2016 – they’re such a beautiful couple, and amazing dancers! They’ve built a wonderful family with their three kids, Sedona, Liam, and Billy, but I know it hasn’t always been easy with all the attention they get.
For instance, the Dancing With the Stars alum had to shut down rumors about her husband’s sexuality.
I seriously can’t believe she even had to say this! It was on her podcast, Off the Vine, back in October 2024, and she was just… exasperated. She was like, ‘Do I need to prove we’re okay with a sex tape or something?!’ It was so frustrating to hear, but she quickly added, ‘We’re good, everything’s fine.’ Like, she had to reassure everyone! It just makes me want to defend her even more, honestly.
She explained that he had battled a pornography addiction, something I wasn’t aware of personally. She mentioned a scene where a friend observed his confusion surrounding sexuality, suggesting that was evident to those around him.
Despite facing challenges, the reality star shared that she and her husband, Connor, are closer than ever. They originally married when they were 23 and 22 years old, and recently reaffirmed their commitment by renewing their vows in February 2026, celebrating their 10th anniversary.
Conner shared with Brides that he and his partner got married at a young age. He explained that while their wedding day was special for them as a couple, it also felt very much about celebrating with their families. They wanted to create a uniquely personal experience, and they felt this was a really enjoyable way to do that.
Jen Affleck and Zac Affleck, who aren’t related to Ben Affleck despite what people say, have been married since 2019, but rumors about them splitting up have circulated since the beginning of their time in the public eye.
A major storyline in the first season of their show revolved around a fight that happened after Jen went to a Chippendales show in Las Vegas. Despite the argument, the couple – who are parents to Nora, Penelope, and Lucas – reconciled, and the Dancing With the Stars contestant later spoke out to support their relationship.
You know, as someone who’s observed a lot of public figures, it’s incredibly draining to constantly address the same rumors. I’ve always said, people will always talk and have opinions, and that’s just part of being in the spotlight. But what really gets to someone, and I’ve seen this repeatedly, is when people judge a situation without knowing the full story – the hard work, the effort, everything that goes on privately. It’s frustrating when others don’t see the reality behind closed doors.
She and Zac are prioritizing their well-being and focusing on what’s important, though it’s still a challenge for him to ignore outside distractions.
Jessi and Jordan Ngatikaura have faced challenges in their marriage. After Jessi had an emotional affair with Marciano Brunette from Vanderpump Villa, things were difficult for the couple and their children, Jagger and Jovi. However, they’ve since worked through it and are doing better.
Jessi shared with TopMob News in November 2025 that she and her partner are working on rebuilding their relationship. She explained that relationships aren’t always easy, and it will take time and effort for them to get back on track—it won’t be a quick fix.
The reality star, who is also a mother to her daughter Peyton from a previous relationship, shared that she and her partner are in therapy. She explained that while they experience challenges like any couple, they’re choosing to share their journey openly, hoping it will resonate with and help others who can relate to their real-life experiences.
Mayci never thought she’d find love again, especially after her boyfriend, Arik Mack, unexpectedly passed away in 2015. She was 14 weeks pregnant with their son, Hudson, at the time and had resigned herself to raising him as a single mother. Jacob Neeley was the last person she expected to share her life with.
But it all changed when she met Jacob in 2016 at age 21, whom she would marry two years later.
In her memoir, Told You So, Mayci explained that she was hesitant to trust anyone after difficult experiences, but she and Jacob connected quickly. They stayed friends for a while, and because it wasn’t a romantic relationship, she felt comfortable with him getting to know her son.
Honestly, watching Jacob with him was just… captivating. It really highlighted how special he was. I’d been hesitant, you know, scared of getting hurt again after past experiences. But after four months of getting to know him, I couldn’t ignore how I felt anymore. He’s just so kind, so funny, and – most importantly – he makes me feel completely safe and secure.
Mayci and Jacob went on to welcome daughters Harlow in 2021 and Charli in 2025.
Demi Engemann married Bret Engemann in 2021, following her divorce from Blake Corbin the year before. Their relationship, which was featured on a reality show, gained attention when Whitney gave Demi Fruity Pebbles, leading to discussions about their intimacy.
Jessi revealed in a November 2025 Instagram post the surprising reason behind the joke gift: her grandfather, Bret, drinks her urine, comparing the act to enjoying a soda or water.
Demi and Bret aren’t upset about their past mistakes—or a certain embarrassing incident. She told Entertainment Tonight in December that they’ve decided to just accept what happened and enjoy life together.
Despite some attention on their personal life, the couple is happily navigating life as a blended family. Demi has a daughter named Maude from a previous relationship, and Bret has two sons, Rome and Cole, with Angie Harrington, who is known from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
Demi shared on Instagram in June 2024 how much she admires her husband’s dedication to his children. She described him as an incredibly loving and devoted father, both to his stepdaughter, Maude, and to the children they plan to have together. She’s constantly amazed by his unwavering commitment to his role as a father, even when facing life’s challenges.
Mikayla Matthews and Jace Terry have a long history together. They first met in 2015, when Mikayla was 15, and had their son Beckham two years later. They married in 2018 and have since welcomed three more children: Haven, Tommie, and Lottie.
Mikayla and Jace are enjoying raising their four children, but Mikayla has expressed a desire to have more kids in the future.
In a February 2025 interview with People magazine, she shared that she’s always pictured having three or four children, though she wouldn’t rule out having six. She’s also looking forward to moving to a new house with a large yard, perfect for a big family.
Layla Taylor and Clayton Wessel, parents of Oliver and Maxwell, got divorced in 2023. Layla then hinted at a new relationship with Mason McWhorter in July 2025.
Despite a slightly tricky situation – Mason is connected to Layla’s coworker Miranda McWhorter through her ex, Chase McWhorter – they were both ready to see if their relationship could work.
Layla shared with Us Weekly in November 2025 that she’s not currently eager to get married, but she’s open to building a deep connection with someone first. She’s happy with her relationship with Mason as it is, and if marriage ever becomes a topic of discussion, they’ll address it then.
Unfortunately, the mom of two confirmed that she and Mason had split in February 2026.
Layla explained that she and her partner were simply heading in different directions, and he needed space to grow as an individual. She said she understands and respects his choice, and wishes him all the best.
Miranda joined the show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives in its second season and quickly became central to the widely discussed “soft swinging scandal” involving MomTok personalities. However, despite the controversy with Taylor, Miranda has stated that this wasn’t the cause of her divorce from Chase in 2024.
She explained on the Weekly Trash podcast in August 2024 that the reasons for their breakup had been brewing for a long time. While recent events might not have made things better, she emphasized they weren’t a factor in the decision to split.
Nonetheless, she and Chase have been committed to parenting their kids Brooks and Cohen.
She thought that coparenting requires constant effort. She added that if they’d always been happy together, they likely wouldn’t have gotten divorced.
We’ve always been good friends, even before we became a couple,” she explained. “I think that strong friendship is a big reason why we’re able to co-parent so well.”
