Jen Affleck got emotional while sharing a life update.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, 26, opened as much as her followers about moving for “the fifth time in a 12 months” via TikTok on Monday, April 6.
“Within the last two to 3 years, a lot has happened,” Jen explained. “Between two babies, reality TV show, Dancing With the Stars, moving, identity, faith, life crisis, I’m very looking forward to this next chapter of my life.”
Through tears, Jen explained that she doesn’t “recognize” parts of herself.
“There are parts of me that I feel like have healed, after which there are parts of me where old patterns have shown back up,” she explained. “I’ve been hoping through my vulnerability that I will help heal myself. I’m hoping that on this next chapter of my life I can find my faith again … while also holding space for who I’m at my core and never trying to alter that.”
Jen went on to share that she got married at 19 and was pregnant one 12 months later. “I actually haven’t had time to work out who Jen is,” she said. “I’m still attempting to figure that out. I just desperately need to have the ability to point out up for my kids and show up as one of the best version of myself.” (Jen shares kids Nora, 4, Luca, 2, and Penny, 9 months, with husband Zac Affleck.)

She continued, “Although there’s been quite a lot of hate — which that’s OK — there’s also been quite a lot of positivity, and so I just need to thank those that have sent me kind messages.”
Jen also shared that as an alternative of taking a break from social media, she desires to “share” her “vulnerable” side. “This is just not easy for me. This is de facto hard,” she added, before noting that she was going to begin packing up her house.
