Reality Television Star Jen Affleck Navigates Divorce Following Seven Years of Marriage

Reality television star Jen Affleck is navigating her divorce from husband Zac Affleck after seven years of marriage, a separation that coincides with the premiere of her new series on Hulu.

Jen filed for divorce on November 3 in Utah. The couple, who share three children and are expecting a fourth, have publicly addressed their marital struggles following the filing.

The split follows years of public scrutiny regarding their relationship, which was a central storyline on the reality series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives beginning in 2024.

"It's been pretty, honestly, hard. It's been painful. It's been stressful," said Jen Affleck, 27, in an interview with USA Today.

She added, "I have friends telling me this should be an empowering thing and even though I feel empowered in some ways, I'm grieving. I'm grieving a lot."

Zac Affleck recently posted a statement on Instagram acknowledging his past behavior. He wrote, "I have taken full responsibility for my behavior, and I deeply regret how my actions negatively affected Jen throughout our relationship."

The couple's relationship faced tension during the show's first season when Zac criticized Jen for attending a male revue in Las Vegas, leading to arguments that concerned her friends.

Following the divorce filing, Jen shared videos on TikTok depicting Zac criticizing her during their marriage, including comments regarding her postpartum body. Zac later described those remarks as "horrible."

Despite the public tension, sources told TMZ that the couple maintains strong communication and is on good terms while focusing on their roles as parents to their children.

Jen has since relocated to Orange County, California, to begin a new chapter. This move is documented in the spinoff series, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, which premiered Thursday.

In the new series, Jen discusses her future and personal life with her castmates. She noted she is not currently focused on dating while managing her pregnancy and the transition of divorce.

The couple has not publicly disclosed the final terms of their divorce or specific plans for their upcoming child, leaving the future of their co-parenting arrangement as a primary focus.
