Jen Affleck Files for Divorce From Zac Affleck

Jen and Zac Affleck's Relationship Timeline

Jen and Zac Affleck's relationship has been documented on the Hulu reality series "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" since its premiere in 2024. The couple met on the Mormon dating app Mutual in 2018 and got engaged and married in 2019. They have three children together, Nora, Luca, and Penelope, and are expecting a fourth child. As Jen told Vulture, she had gone into the filming process with her relationship "in a rocky place" and that she and Zac had been in therapy "nonstop" since filming began.

Marital Issues and Therapy

The couple's relationship has been marked by marital issues, including disagreements over Zac's gambling and Jen's decision to attend a Chippendales show in Las Vegas. In a May 2025 episode of "The Viall Files" podcast, Zac said, "I honestly think we went a little bit naive into the show — just not really knowing what to expect or what reality TV even is." Jen, however, always viewed reality TV as a way to confront life's problems and make a change for the better, saying, "Sometimes you just feel called to something and you can’t explain why. It’s not easy being vulnerable as a Mormon and showing what actually happens sometimes in Mormon relationships. I feel like we’re doing the hard thing but doing the right thing by exposing what actually happens."

Divorce Filing and Proposed Parenting Plan

Jen filed for divorce on Tuesday, November 3, in Utah, and also submitted a proposed parenting plan. The details of the filing are private, and the court records do not reveal the reason behind the breakup or Jen's requested custody arrangements.

Upcoming Spinoff Show

The news of the divorce comes just days before the premiere of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County," a spinoff show featuring Jen. The show will follow Jen as she navigates her new life in Southern California. In August, Jen told PEOPLE, "It’s been a lot the past couple of months, I’ll be honest. But I do feel like I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and just trying to count my blessings every single day." The show will premiere on Hulu on November 12.
