The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jessi Draper rekindled her friendship with Marciano Brunette after Jordan Ngatikaura filed for divorce from the JZ Styles owner.
In fact, Jessi and Marciano refollowed each other on Instagram after Jordan filed, despite the history of their inappropriate relationship.
The divorce filing:
Just days ago, Jordan filed for divorce from Jessi.
PEOPLE shared a statement from Jordan confirming the split. “This has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart,” he said.
“I’m grateful for the shared memories and the lessons. 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.”
Jordan also asked for privacy as their family navigates the change. Jessi and Jordan share two children. Jordan is also dad to his older daughter, Peyton, from a previous relationship.
As we saw play out on season 4 of TSLOMW, their marriage had been struggling for a while, with the two living separately and openly admitting they weren’t happy. Jessi noted Jordan is a hard person to be married to, but thinks he’d be even worse to divorce.
The prenup:
As fans learned on the finale episode of season 4, Jessi and Jordan’s prenup may be null, as there are no witness signatures. In other words, Jordan may cash out of his marriage to the entrepreneur.
Jessi faces significant financial risk in her divorce because Utah’s equitable distribution laws. The appreciation of JZ Styles as marital property, regardless of the prenup.
While witness signatures aren’t required, the absence of them on the prenup, coupled with her admitted emotional affair and a potential high-net-worth business valuation, could lead to a substantial settlement for her spouse.
