If there’s one thing the cast of“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”are proving, it’s that the word“secret”doesn’t really apply anymore—especially when it comes to their love lives.
Jordan Ngatikaura was spotted on May 10 locking lips with a mystery woman at a bar, and the footage is pretty hard to miss. The two weren’t shy about their affection, fully wrapped up in each other without a care for the very public display unfolding around them. For someone who just filed for divorce in mid-March, he’s certainly not wasting any time testing the dating waters.
The timeline here is worth noting. Ngatikaura and Jessi Draper had been married for about five years before he filed for divorce in March. Since then, Draper has made accusations of emotional abuse, adding weight to what seemed like a straightforward split. Yet here we are just a couple months later, and Ngatikaura’s already making headlines for his nightlife activities.
But before anyone starts planning wedding number two, sources close to the situation say this is casual territory. The divorce is nowhere near finalized, which means jumping into anything serious just isn’t in the playbook right now. This is about moving on at his own pace—no strings, no pressure, just a guy enjoying being single again.
The irony? While Ngatikaura’s keeping his new connection low-pressure, Jessi’s also been making moves. She hooked up with Miranda Hope’s ex-husband, then sent flowers as an apology. So the whole cast is basically proving that post-split rebounds aren’t just a trope—they’re a full-contact sport. Maybe the show’s title should be updated to reflect just how un-secret everyone’s actually being.
