The legal disputes surrounding "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" are intensifying. Jordan Ngatikaura, husband of star Jessi Draper, initiated divorce proceedings on March 19, 2026, and subsequently filed for a temporary restraining order against Draper on March 20, 2026. Draper has formally opposed the restraining order.
The couple, parents to a 5-year-old son and a 3-year-old daughter, have been living apart for the past year. Their marital issues were prominently featured in the most recent season of the reality show, which premiered in 2024.
Ngatikaura stated that the decision was difficult but his priority remains his children. This news surfaces amid other controversies for the show's cast. Just days prior, reports emerged of a police investigation into a domestic dispute involving co-star Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex-partner.
