Five seasons into The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, the relationship map around MomTok looks very different from the one viewers were introduced to in 2024. Some of the show’s marriages have survived public scandals, separations and the pressure of reality television, while other cast members have moved on to entirely new relationships. Season 5,…
Jen and Zac Affleck have never had the kind of marriage that The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives could keep safely in the background.
