Season 1 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives showcased a lot more than just a group of Mormon wives and influencers freaking out over a “soft-swinging” scandal. The season introduced viewers to 8 women (who are mostly the breadwinners of their families) who were all dealing with their own trials and tribulations that included cheating allegations, friendship betrayals, and even serious health issues.
Although Season 1 focused on MomTok “creator” Taylor Frankie Paul’s relationship with the father of her unborn child, Dakota Mortensen, and Whitney Leavitt’s falling out with the MomTok group, viewers have become increasingly interested in Jen and Zac Affleck’s marriage. The season ended with a huge blowout between the couple, and viewers learned they were moving out of Utah and to New York. As of late, Jen’s TikTok’s may be revealing that their marriage may be on the rocks.

Fans Are Noticing Jen Affleck Not Wearing Her Wedding Ring In Her TikToks
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season finale ended with still a lot to unpack. Now that it has been confirmed that Season 2 is in the works and is slated for a Spring 2025 release, viewers are hoping that some of their burning questions will be answered.
When it came to Jen and Zac Affleck’s marriage, a lot had unfolded near the end of Season 1. Jen was labeled as the “most Mormon” of the bunch, so she was especially concerned about being “disrespectful” to her husband while the women attended a Chippendales show in Las Vegas. Although Jen did not attend the show, she gets into a very heated argument with Zac over text. Zac was furious with his wife as it went against their Mormon beliefs and even went as far as to threaten to divorce her. The women found him to be extremely controlling and were concerned about Jen.
Ever since Jen and Zac’s conflict aired, people have been dissecting it left and right. Most agree that Zac’s behavior was shown as manipulative and demanding. They also felt that Jen was stuck in a controlling marriage because the couple share children.
As MomTok continues to create videos for social media since the season ended, fans have noticed that Jen may be giving away hints that her marriage to Zac may be over. Comedian Chris Burns actually pointed out in an Instagram video that Jen was not wearing her wedding ring in her TikToks. In addition, it looks like Jen is back in Utah.
In a TikTok shared on September 24th, Jen is seen wearing her wedding ring while with her two children in what appears to be New York City. However, a few days later, Jen shares another video on TikTok where she dances and is hiding her hands with her sweater. Burns noted that the home she was in certainly did not look like the average New York City dwelling, making the case that she might have moved back to Utah. Burns also pointed out that her castmate Demi Engemann commented on her TikTok, stating, “Jenn!!!! I love this version of you sm hahaahha HOT!!!!!”
Jen further raised questions about her marriage in an October 9th TikTok. Here she dances in a large kitchen and is still seen without her wedding ring. Her TikTok followers noticed the absence of a ring, too. They flooded her comment section with things like, “The way we’re all hoping that ringless finger means you’re FREEEEE!”
Another comment read, “Jen with no ring and what looks like a new place?!?!?!
Followers also noticed that Jen debuted a new shorter hair style, which may signify a new change in her life. “NO RING, NEW HAIR, NEW PLACE,” another follower wrote.

Jen Admitted That The Couple Sought Therapy After The Show
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ viewers began to forget about Zac’s possible family relation with actor Ben Affleck and more about his demanding personality when it came to how he treated his wife, Jen. However, when filming came to an end, Jen surprisingly shared that being on reality TV actually helped her marriage.
Speaking to Us Weekly, Jen revealed that the show helped to strengthen their marriage, despite viewers seeing them on the verge of divorce.
“I definitely think it was the best thing to happen to our relationship. While watching the show, a lot of people are going to think that maybe this would break our relationship apart. But if anything, it did the opposite. Being on camera and having those moments happen made us step back and actually look at a relationship and make us just see what we have to change.”
In fact, Jen revealed that she and Zac sought therapy after the show. In an interview with Vulture, the reality TV star admitted, “Since filming, we’ve done therapy nonstop. If we continue in our relationship, there are changes that need to be made. If they’re not made, we might have to… look at other options. But as of right now, I do think he’s trying his best to make those changes.”
Jen’s future in Season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is also up in the air. Jen’s castmates, including Taylor and Mayci shared TikTok videos that left both Jen and Whitney out when they revealed Season 2 was in the works. However, fans are hoping that Jen will make a return with or without Zac.
