‘Mormon Wives’ Star Jen Affleck Confuses Fans In Cryptic Video

While fans of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” were already confused about Jen Affleck’s relationship status with her husband Zac, a newly shared video on Instagram is causing more confusion.

Some fans think she’s still married, and others are thinking the relationship is over. Whatever the truth may be, it appears Affleck and her reality show co-stars are all having some fun with it.

A video shared on Instagram by MomTok mom Mikayla Matthews has fans scratching their heads trying to figure out if Affleck is still with her husband or if she finally took everyone’s advice to leave him.

The video shows Matthews, Affleck, and fellow “Mormon Wives” star Mayci Neeley hinting about Affleck’s marriage being over. Captioned, “first time catching up,” Affleck lip synced, “I don’t even know where we left off,” and Neely and Matthews then jump in to mouth, “You were still in a relationship.”

Affleck coyly responded with the next line, “I was? Damn. Things change really quickly.”

Throughout the video, Affleck is trying hard to hide her ring finger and viewers all took note.

“Am I losing it or is she actively hiding her ring finger? Like this video is flipped right???” one fan wrote in the comment section. Another added, “Stop hiding ur left hand I can’t wait that long.”

Some speculated that she’s just playing around and is still with her husband and others were getting excited that maybe the marriage is over.

“They’re messing with us,” one person wrote. Another said, “AND THE CROWD WENT WILD!!! Our girl is freeeee.” Another viewer shared her logic, “Everyone all excited about her leaving him… it’s PR y’all! This is how they get us sucked into the next season. It’s not real, if it was she wouldn’t be making a joke out of it.”

An Instagram post shared by Affleck on September 18 shared some of the couple’s background story.

“We were just kids when we got married. Young, naive, and inexperienced, we truly had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Coming from completely different backgrounds, families, and upbringings, it didn’t seem to make sense. We were polar opposites. How could we make this work? How could we see the same picture? We didn’t always see eye to eye, and a lot of times, we still don’t. But that’s what marriage is, we keep trying. I truly believe there were lessons we both needed to teach each other,” she wrote.

“When we were dating Zac bought me my first laptop when he had $10 in his bank account. When I shared my dream of running a marathon, he trained alongside me and ran it with me. I told him I wanted to start my videography business, so he saved up money and bought me my first camera. When we were expecting our first baby, I wanted a place to call home, so he worked hard, saved up, and bought us our first house.”

Her caption continued to explain that they are “still young” and “have struggles” but they do love each other and are willing to put in the work.

Many took to the comments to share their thoughts on the relationship.

“NONE of that gives him a pass to do ANY of the things we all watched him do to you on the show. NONE of it. Your soulmate will never scream at you, threaten divorce, question your morals, belittle you, control you, and put their needs far and away above yours. You are young. So take it from someone older than you— it will not change. It will get worse,” one person wrote.

Another added, “As a former DV advocate, this is projection of HER love for him and unfortunately whyyyy too common for women to defend their abuser. And Idc what anyone says, he IS her abuser.”

One other pointed out, “He can do all of those things, but still be abusive and controlling. You deserve to have love without this huge price tag.”

In early October, fans of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” got the news they were hoping for – season 2 is happening!

The reality show that follows the lives of a group of Utah Mormon moms – Taylor Frankie Paul, Layla Taylor, Whiteny Leavitt, Demi Engemann, Jessi Ngatikaura, Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Matthews, and Jennifer Affleck – took Hulu by storm with a dramatic and addictive binge worthy season 1. Fans were hoping a second season would be in the works and were excited to hear it’s happening.

Season 1 is currently streaming on Hulu. Season 2 will be released in spring 2025.
