Birth-name note: Major outlets confirm the legal name Jennifer Affleck but do not reliably document her maiden surname, so we don't list one here.

No relation to Ben Affleck

Jen went viral on the show for joking that Zac is related to actor Ben Affleck; he isn't. The joke later led to a Dunkin' ad in which she appeared with Ben Affleck (ABC News; E! News).

Marriage and family

Jen and Zac met in 2018 on Mutual, a dating app for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was 18 and he was 21. They married in June 2019. They have three children, Nora, Luca and Penelope, and in June 2026 Jen announced she was expecting their fourth (TMZ; ABC News).

On The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

The Hulu reality series, which follows a group of Utah "#MomTok" influencers, premiered in 2024. Season 1 showed the couple's marital conflict, including a fight over a Chippendales show during a cast trip to Las Vegas. They briefly separated, then reconciled, and Jen later spoke publicly about Zac's struggles with gambling (Variety). She also competed on season 34 of Dancing with the Stars.

The November 2026 divorce filing

Jen filed a divorce petition on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, in the Fourth Judicial District Court in Provo, Utah, along with a proposed parenting plan. Neither the reason for the split nor the custody terms are public (ABC News; TMZ). The filing came days before the November 12 Hulu premiere of the spinoff The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, which follows her move to Southern California (Variety).
