Jen and Zac Affleck’s relationship has played out both on social media and on Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. The couple began dating in 2018, married the following year and went on to have three children. In June 2026, Jen announced that they were expecting their fourth baby. Five months later, TMZ reported that she had filed for divorce. Representatives for the couple had not commented, according to the report.

The pair met on the Mormon dating app Mutual. Zac proposed after a year of dating, and they married in 2019 at a local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints temple. Jen later described him as someone who loved and supported her, while acknowledging that their marriage had its difficulties.

Their daughter Nora was born in November 2021, followed by son Lucas in July 2023. The couple welcomed a third child, daughter Penelope, in 2025. In a 2024 Instagram post, Jen credited Zac with supporting her goals and helping provide stability for their family. She also said they were young, had struggles like other couples and were willing to work on their relationship.

Their marriage became a prominent storyline on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which follows a group of Mormon mom influencers in Utah. The show’s first season depicted the couple approaching a possible breakup before acknowledging that they still had work to do. One conflict shown on screen followed Jen’s night out in Las Vegas, after which Zac criticized her values and morals.

Jen told Us Weekly in September 2024 that she and Zac had been attending therapy since filming ended. She said watching the series had prompted them to examine their relationship, and argued that the experience had ultimately helped them address what needed to change. She also said her decision to step back from MomTok involved more than her marriage, including religion, friendships and her children.

Other cast members publicly questioned Zac’s influence over Jen and raised allegations about their relationship. Those comments, alongside the scenes from the series, fueled speculation about the marriage. Jen continued to defend their relationship, saying there was more to it than viewers might realize.

In December 2024, Jen said that taking a break from social media had helped her mental health and given her clarity about her relationships and the kind of mother and friend she wanted to be. The couple had also moved from Utah to New York after Zac began medical school, and their future on the show was unclear.

In May 2025, Jen and Zac discussed their experience on reality television on The Viall Files. Zac said they had entered the show without fully understanding what to expect, while Jen said she hoped their openness would encourage people to reflect on relationships within Mormon culture. They also spoke about the circumstances surrounding Jen’s second pregnancy, describing that period as stressful and saying it came before they began therapy.

Jen announced her third pregnancy in February 2025, saying she had always wanted a large family. After Penelope’s birth that July, she thanked Zac and her doula for their support during labor. In June 2026, she shared that they were expecting another child, writing, “Chapter Four.” TMZ reported in November that Jen had filed for divorce.
