Jen Affleck, known for her role on the Hulu reality series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, has officially filed for divorce from her husband, Zac Affleck. According to reports from TMZ, the 27-year-old actress submitted the paperwork in Utah on Tuesday, November 3. This legal action marks the end of a seven-year marriage that began after the couple met on a Mormon dating app in 2018 and wed in 2019.
The filing includes a proposed parenting plan, though specific details regarding custody arrangements or the reasons behind the separation remain private as they are not disclosed in the public court documents. Neither Jen nor Zac has issued a public statement addressing their split at this time. The divorce proceedings coincide with Jen's fourth pregnancy, which she announced back in June. The couple already shares three children: Nora, 4; Lucas "Luca" Lowell, 3; and Penelope, 1.
Observers of the show may not find the separation entirely unexpected, as tensions between the pair have been visible on screen. In the most recent fifth season, the couple clashed over Jen's decision to return to church and Zac's disagreement with her career aspirations. Furthermore, during the first season, Jen admitted that their relationship was already in a "rocky place" before filming began. Recently, the couple has stopped posting about each other on social media, with Zac sharing updates about trips taken with friends and his father.
Despite the personal turmoil, Jen is set to return to television next week for the upcoming spinoff series, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County.
