Mormon Wives Star Jessi Draper Talks Dating After Divorce
Reality TV star Jessi Draper from “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” has opened up about her healing journey and experiences with dating after her divorce. The 33-year-old mother of two shared a candid “life update” with her fans in a recent Instagram video.
Jessi and her estranged husband Jordan Ngatikaura went through a public divorce after appearing on the hit Hulu show, where their marital issues, including Jessi’s emotional affair with Marciano Brunette, were documented. Jessi revealed on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that she experienced emotional abuse in her marriage, leading to their separation.
In her Instagram video, Jessi talked about the healing process after divorce, emphasizing that everyone’s journey is different. She mentioned that she spent time mourning the end of her relationship and is now focusing on herself and her children, whom she co-parents with Jordan. Jessi also addressed criticism about dating after divorce, explaining that for her, it is part of the healing process.
Despite facing judgment and online hate, Jessi expressed her happiness in entering this new phase of life. She acknowledged the challenges of divorce but also expressed excitement about filming for the upcoming season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”
The show faced a setback when star Taylor Frankie Paul was involved in a domestic dispute with her ex, Dakota Mortensen. After authorities decided not to pursue charges against Taylor, production resumed, with Taylor reportedly focusing on her mental health and choosing not to be involved in the show moving forward.
Overall, Jessi’s journey post-divorce is a mix of healing, self-discovery, and navigating the complexities of dating again. Despite the challenges, she remains optimistic about the future and looks forward to sharing her experiences with viewers on the upcoming season of the reality show.
