The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives star Jessi Draper’s husband Jordan Ngatikaura has officially filed for divorce after five years of marriage. 

The 33-year-old TV personality – who recently slammed plastic surgery that ‘ruined’ her life – initially tied the knot with Ngatikaura in 2020 and the estranged couple share children Jagger, five, and Jovi, three. 

The news comes after co-star Taylor Frankie Paul was fired from The Bachelorette amid domestic violence allegations. 

Ngatikaura filed the divorce paperwork at a courthouse in Utah on March 19, per TMZ. 

He issued a statement as he admitted the split was not ‘easy’ but the priority will be focused on their children. 

‘This has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart. I’m grateful for the shared memories and the lessons.’ 

The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives star Jessi Draper’s husband Jordan Ngatikaura has officially filed for divorce after five years of marriage; seen in 2025 in L.A. 

The star continued, ‘While our paths are now moving in different directions, my priority remains my children and ensuring they feel loved, supported, and protected through this transition.

‘I am committed to handling this next chapter with kindness and respect. I kindly ask for privacy and understanding as we navigate this as a family.’ 

Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Draper, but did not immediately hear back. 

Draper and Ngatikaura had a 90-day separation in 2025 but seemingly reconciled later that same year. 

Late last year in November, she claimed to People that she suffered ’emotional abuse’ from her estranged husband.

‘It starts off slow. It’s not like one big dramatic thing happens. It’s little behaviors over time, and then all of a sudden you look back and you’re too deep in it and you can’t do much about it,’ she said at the time. 

Ngatikaura later issued a statement to the outlet and expressed that he took ‘full accountability for the pain I caused Jessi during our marriage.’ 

Following their separation, Draper told People earlier this month that both she and Ngatikaura were ‘going to a lot of therapy’ before adding that it has ‘helped a lot.’ 

‘This has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart. I’m grateful for the shared memories and the lessons,’ he said in a statement

Draper further expressed that she has been open about the ‘ups and downs’ of her marriage to show that ‘it’s normal to struggle.’

‘Even in a good relationship, you’re gonna have ups and downs,’ she said.

‘So I just think it’s good to show people that it’s worth fighting for, it’s worth working through and it’s something that’s always a work in progress.’

During the third season of Mormon Wives, the pair agreed to a 90-day separation to work on their marriage. 

Draper also admitted to having an emotional affair with Vanderpump Villa star Marciano Brunette.
