Mormon Wives’ Jessi Ngatikaura Speaks Out Amid Show’s Pause Over Taylor Frankie Paul Investigation
Jessi Draper and Jordan Ngatikaura are officially going their separate ways.
After five years of marriage, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star’s husband has filed for divorce, according to Utah court records viewed by E! News.
“This has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart,” he told TMZ in a March 19 statement. “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.”
Jordan—dad to Jagger, 5, and Jovi, 3, with Jessi, as well as daughter Peyton, 13, from a previous relationship—added, “I am committed to handling this next chapter with kindness and respect. I kindly ask for privacy and understanding as we navigate this as a family.”
Jessi has not yet spoken out publicly on the divorce.
Just last week, the hair salon owner detailed how her experience in couples therapy with Jordan had “helped a lot” since they implemented a 90-day separation last year in the wake of an emotional affair she had with Vanderpump Villa star Marciano Brunette.
