Affleck Divorce and Other Mormon Wives' Relationship Updates

Taylor Frankie Paul, a cast member of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, ended her relationship with Dakota Mortensen after learning of his alleged infidelity. Taylor revealed during a season two premiere that she was considering engagement following the birth of their son Ever in 2024, but later discovered that Dakota had been intimate with another woman named Jenna.

Dakota denied the allegations, stating on TikTok in September 2024 that he had never cheated. However, Taylor claimed on the show that Dakota accused Jenna of instigating the affair, asserting that he had engaged in sexual activity with her on multiple occasions.

Following the breakup, Taylor was set to appear on The Bachelorette but was removed from the show after a domestic assault investigation was opened following an alleged confrontation between her and Dakota. A video of a previous 2023 altercation between the pair also surfaced, leading to the cancellation of her season.

Meanwhile, Whitney Leavitt and Connor Leavitt, who married in 2016, renewed their vows in February 2026 for their 10th wedding anniversary. Leavitt noted that their marriage, which began when they were 22 and 23, has grown stronger over time despite the challenges of public scrutiny.

Jen Affleck and Zac Affleck, who have been married since 2019, have faced breakup rumors since the show's first season. Their relationship was tested after Jen attended a Chippendales show in Las Vegas, but they reconciled and continue to focus on their family, expecting a fourth child in 2026.

Other cast members, including Jessi Draper and Jordan Ngatikaura, experienced marital difficulties after Draper admitted to an emotional affair with Marciano Brunette. Despite a reconciliation, the couple filed for divorce in March 2026. Mayci Neeley and Jacob Neeley, who married in 2018, welcomed their second daughter in 2025, while Demi Engemann and Bret Engemann continue to navigate their blended family life.
