The Secret Lives of Mormon Wivesalum Taylor Frankie Paul is speaking out after Jen Affleck filed for divorce from her husband, Zac Affleck.
“Everything aside, I will be praying for @jenniferlaffleck ❤️🩹,” Taylor, 32, commented on a Wednesday, November 4, Instagram post. “In her corner.”
Both Taylor and Jen, 27, helped launch The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives in 2024 and filmed together for five seasons. During the Hulu reality show, the pair didn’t always see eye-to-eye as both parties navigated their own relationship drama.
Before Jen’s new show, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, was set to premiere, Us confirmed the reality star filed a petition for divorce on Tuesday, November 3, in Utah.
Jen also submitted a proposed parenting plan, though the details of the filing are private.
The couple — who announced in June that they are expecting baby No. 4 — met on the Mormon dating app Mutual in 2018 before getting married in Utah one year later.
Starting Thursday, November 12, viewers will get a front-row seat into the state of their relationship when Jen appears on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County.
“My life was falling apart in Utah,” Jen says in a teaser for the new show. “I moved to Orange County for a sense of community. … This was not what I was expecting.”
Hours after news broke that Jen had filed for divorce, the former Dancing With the Stars contestant stepped out on Wednesday, November 4, to celebrate the premiere of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County at Élephante in Santa Monica, California.
Jen was joined by her costars, including McCall DaPron, Jordan McClanahan, Aspyn Ovard, Bobbi Althoff and Avery Woods.
While some viewers may search for clues as to what went wrong in the marriage, Jen previously said her relationship with Zac, 30, was stronger than ever.
Deal of the Day
“Every single day we tell each other, we’re like, ‘If we can get through this, we can get through anything,’” she exclusively told Us in April 2025. “Sometimes you go through a rough patch, and for some people it’s the end and it ends with divorce, and for other people, they fight through it and it ends up being a blessing in disguise.”
In August, however, Jen hinted that things in her marriage weren’t as strong as she hoped they would be.
“It’s been a lot the past couple of months, I’ll be honest,” she told People. “But I do feel like I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and just trying to count my blessings every single day.”
