The new reality series, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County," follows a group of Mormon wives in Orange County as they navigate their personal lives and friendships. Jen Affleck, a 27-year-old mother of four, joined the group after moving to California for "Dancing With the Stars" and filed for divorce from her husband, Zac.
Affleck revealed that they had planned to file jointly for the divorce but decided to go their separate ways a week before the series premiere. Affleck also shared that she had been separated from Zac for months.
Aspyn Ovard, a YouTuber and content creator, was another breakout star from the series. She discussed her divorce, a throuple relationship with her ex-husband, Parker Ferris, and her daughter's terminal cancer diagnosis. Ovard revealed that Ferris hid his alcohol use from her, which led to their divorce. Despite the difficulties, Ovard hoped the show would give Ferris a platform to continue sharing his creativity. The former couple had a popular YouTube channel together in the 2010s.
The series also featured friendships forming between the cast members, including Bobbi Althoff and McCall DaPron. The women shared that looking forward to a potential Season 2, their friendships were growing more substantial. They joked that real fights would likely occur during the second season. All eight episodes of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County" are available to stream on Hulu.
