Jessi Ngatikaura, a prominent figure from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, recently made significant revelations regarding her personal life, including an affair with Marciano Brunette from Vanderpump Villa. In a candid interview with her castmates, Jennifer Affleck and Layla Taylor, Ngatikaura addressed the complexities of her marriage and her relationship with Brunette, responding to pressing questions from fans.
During the interview, which was part of a fan Q&A session, Ngatikaura spoke about the state of her marriage. She acknowledged the difficulties she and her husband have faced, particularly during a challenging third season of the show. “Relationships are not perfect. We all know they can be really hard, and season 3 was rough for us,” she explained. Ngatikaura emphasized the importance of therapy and self-improvement in their journey, stating, “It’s been a process, but I feel like it’s relatable to anyone going through something like this.”
In addition to the fan interview, Ngatikaura appeared on the November 19, 2023 episode of The Viall Files podcast, where she further detailed her struggles with marriage. She reflected on how her relationship with her current husband, Jordan, mirrors her past experiences in an “emotionally abusive” first marriage. This revelation added depth to her narrative, illustrating the complexities of her emotional landscape.
Another question from a fan addressed the status of her relationship with Brunette, prompting Ngatikaura to clarify the situation. “It’s been a long time. You guys see a lot in season 3 that I do speak to Marciano and get to the bottom of things, but that relationship is no longer,” she affirmed, putting to rest speculation about any ongoing connection.
As the revelations continue to unfold, all episodes of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives are currently available for streaming on Hulu. The show has sparked conversations about the challenges faced by women in complex marital situations, resonating with viewers who may relate to similar experiences.
