Jen Affleck files for divorce while pregnant with fourth child

Reality TV star Jennifer Affleck, currently pregnant with her fourth child, filed for divorce from her husband Zac after seven years of marriage.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star and influencer filed for divorce in Utah court on Wednesday. Jennifer and Zac Affleck have three other children: Nora, five, Luca and Penelope.

The couple met in 2018 on a Mormon dating app and married a year later. Jen rose to fame on social media for documenting life as a young Mormon mother and became part of MomTok, a group of Utah-based mum influencers.

She joined the Hulu reality show in 2024. The pair briefly separated after season one, with their reconciliation featured in later seasons.

In April, fans speculated the pair were having issues when Jen was seen without her wedding ring.
