Jessi Draper and Jordan Ngatikaura’s tumultuous marriage, which was previously showcased on the reality show Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, has taken a dramatic turn. Draper, 33, recently revealed on the popular podcast Call Her Daddy that their relationship has deteriorated, culminating in Ngatikaura filing for divorce on March 19, 2026. The couple, who married in 2020 and share two children, Jagger and Jovi, are now facing a public unraveling of their personal lives.
In her candid discussion, Draper accused Ngatikaura of attempting to manipulate the narrative surrounding their separation. “I told him I was going to file [for divorce], and he ran to the courthouse and to TMZ to make it look like it was his decision,” she stated, indicating a deep-seated conflict between the two.
Moreover, Draper did not shy away from discussing the more scandalous aspects of their marriage breakdown. She claimed that issues involving “escorts” and “orgies” played a significant role in their relationship’s demise. This revelation adds a layer of complexity to their already fraught situation, suggesting that both parties may have contributed to the marriage’s collapse.
Ngatikaura, 28, has expressed that the decision to divorce was not made lightly, stating, “This has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart.” His comments reflect the emotional toll that the separation has taken on both parties, though Draper’s remarks suggest a starkly different perspective on the events leading up to their split.
Adding to the drama, Draper has also revealed that she had an emotional affair with Marciano Brunette during her marriage, further complicating the narrative of their relationship. This revelation may explain some of the tensions that have surfaced publicly.
In a recent twist, a request for a temporary restraining order by Ngatikaura against Draper was denied, indicating that the legal battles may not be over. Draper has expressed a desire to share her side of the story, asserting, “I’m ready to tell the full story because I have nothing to hide.” This determination to speak out could lead to further revelations as the divorce proceedings unfold.
After winning a legal case against Ngatikaura, Draper took to Instagram to share a story referencing Taylor Swift’s song “Fresh Out the Slammer,” hinting at her relief and perhaps newfound freedom following the court’s decision.
As observers continue to follow this high-profile divorce, it remains to be seen how the public narrative will evolve. With both parties seemingly prepared to share their perspectives, the story is likely to develop further in the coming weeks.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of the allegations and the implications for their children. However, the unfolding drama serves as a stark reminder of the complexities involved in celebrity relationships.
