'Mormon Wives' star Jessi Ngatikaura's husband Jordan files for divorce
Published in Entertainment News
Another member of the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” cast is stuck in some drama.
Jordan Ngatikaura filed for divorce on Thursday from his reality star wife Jessi Draper Ngatikaura, People reported. They were together for five years.
“This has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart,” he said in a statement to People.
“I’m grateful for the shared memories and the lessons,” he continued. “While our paths are now moving in different directions, my priority remains my children and ensuring they feel loved, supported, and protected through this transition. I am committed to handling this next chapter with kindness and respect.”
Ngatikaura also asked for privacy while they navigate the situation with their children son, Jagger, 5, and daughter, Jovi, 3. He also has a daughter, 13-year-old Peyton, from a previous relationship.
Jessi, who uses her maiden name Jessi Draper professionally, has not yet publicly commented.
News of their split broke just hours after ABC announced the cancellation of the upcoming season of “The Bachelorette,” starring Taylor Frankie Paul, who has also been on all four seasons of “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”
The premiere was set to air Sunday, until TMZ published 2023 footage that shows 31-year-old Paul attacking and throwing barstools at her ex, Dakota Mortensen, while her young daughter sat nearby.
An investigation into the incident also triggered a pause on production for the fifth season of “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”
