The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives couple Jessi Draper and Jordan Ngatikaura marked their wedding anniversary just months before divorcing.
“Five years married to my ride or die, my best friend and the love of my life,” Jordan, 31, wrote via Instagram in October 2025. “We’ve been through all of it highs, lows, laughter, lessons and someway we just keep going.”
He added, “I’m so grateful for you @_justjessiiii in your heart, your fire and the way in which you’re keen on our family. Here’s to all the things we’ve built and all the things still ahead. I like you greater than ever.”
Jessi, 33, replied, “Love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
News broke five months afterward Thursday, March 19, that Jordan filed for divorce from Jessi.
“This has not been a simple decision and it comes with a heavy heart,” the DadTok founder told Us Weekly in a press release. “I’m grateful for the shared memories and the teachings. While our paths are actually moving in numerous directions, my priority stays my children and ensuring they feel loved, supported, and guarded through this transition.”
He concluded, “I’m committed to handling this next chapter with kindness and respect. I kindly ask for privacy and understanding as we navigate this as a family.”
Jordan and Jessi had been married since 2020, during which era they welcomed two children. (Jordan also has an older daughter from a previous relationship.)
The JZ Styles owner and Jordan initially separated during Mormon Wives season 3 after Jessi admitted that she had an emotional affair with Vanderpump Villa personality Marciano Brunette.
“I wouldn’t say I used to be in love with him. It only lasted about two weeks, so it was quick. But I’ll say I confided in him rather a lot,” Jessi exclusively told Us in November 2025 of her reference to Marciano, 32. “The dynamic with Jordan that I had had in my marriage, I hadn’t really talked to anyone about it. My family and friends had been aware because they’d seen things, but I attempted to be like, ‘Every part’s high quality.’”
In accordance with Jessi, her affair with Marciano was transient and never turned physical. When Mormon Wives cameras picked up for season 4, she and Jordan were still navigating their next steps.
“I haven’t made a call about Jordan and I,” Jessi said during a confessional for season 4, which premiered on Hulu earlier this month. “I met with my dad to go over this prenup, nevertheless it’s been over five years.”
While revisiting her prenuptial agreement, Jessi allegedly discovered that there weren’t any witnesses listed within the contract.
“That might mean that the prenup is voided. This information has really rattled me because I just don’t know what that might mean for me, my business and the safety of my family,” she noted on the show. “I just don’t know what’s going to occur. I’ll probably lose tens of millions. He’s entitled to anything within the last five years that I’ve created. Once we got married, I used to be value rather a lot lower than I’m now. So it just sucks and I don’t want to do this to my family.”
