Jen Affleck Files for Divorce Amid Pregnancy Struggles

Jen Affleck filed for divorce from Zac Affleck on November 3, 2026, after seven years of marriage. The couple, who share three children—Nora (five), Luca (three), and Penelope (16 months)—were expecting their fourth child at the time of the filing. Jen had previously revealed on 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County' that a move to California with Zac and their children was an attempt to salvage their marriage.

However, the relocation did not resolve their issues, which included arguments over Zac's gambling and Jen's career ambitions. Jen expressed that the move, initially hoped to be a fresh start, only led to more problems. She also opened up about experiencing prenatal depression during her fourth pregnancy, noting a lack of excitement unlike her previous pregnancies.

Jen stated that Zac was aware of her intentions to divorce for a considerable time, with discussions about separation beginning a year prior. Zac later shared his perspective on TikTok, recounting how he had pleaded with Jen to stay. Despite the marital challenges, Zac conveyed his support for Jen in her next chapter and indicated he would focus on their children.
