Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives stars want series to show ‘we are normal'
The first season of the hit reality series followed a group of Mormon influencers based in Utah in the US, caught in the midst of a sex-swinging scandal. Mormonism is a restorationist Christian movement which discourages alcohol, tobacco and caffeine, as well as sex outside marriage. Ngatikaura and Whitney Leavitt discussed the show's next season on ITV's This Morning and explained that the series followed the creation of 'MomTok' – a collective of women who make videos on TikTok. 'MomTok is a group of women. We all did social media together, and it started out just a group of mums getting together and making fun videos on social media, and then it turned into what it is today, which is crazy,' said Leavitt. She added: 'I think what's really cool about this whole group is that all of us live it a little bit differently, like some maybe a little bit more than others. 'So hopefully someone who's watching can relate to one of us, but yeah, no drinking coffee, no premarital sex, dress modestly, no tattoos.' Ngatikaura left the church and said there are women 'of different faith levels' on the show. 'I left about five, six years ago, but my family is Mormon, my friends are Mormon, so I'm still in the culture,' she said. 'It just wasn't for me. But I love that about our show, is that we have so many different faith levels. 'So we showcase someone who is super active, someone who is not any more, which I think is relatable to any religion.' This Morning presenter Paddy McGuinness said it is 'good to talk' about Mormonism so people know 'it's not what you think it is when you see the films'. Ngatikaura responded: 'We wanted to show that because everyone thinks Mormons are like pilgrims and sister wives and we can't do anything, but we showcase that we are just normal people.' Season two follows the lives of the women after the success of season one and sees Miranda McWhorter join the series 'to set the record straight on the swinging scandal'. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints officially condemns polygamy but there are other groups, referred to as 'Mormon fundamentalists', who engage in the practice. The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives season two is available on Disney+ in the UK.

Want to be the next member of #MomTok? Here's 10 MUST-HAVE buys for fans of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives returned for its second season on May 15, and if, like me, you couldn't peel your eyes away from the drama, we've got everything you need to get your #MomTok fix before season two, part two, returns. The show, which centers around Taylor Frankie Paul and her 'soft swinging' scandal, follows nine Mormon influencers and their journeys with friendship, motherhood and MomTok - TikTok content that the group records together that initially shot them to internet fame before they landed the show. Whether you love or hate (or love to hate) reality TV, you can't argue that the Hulu series, which is available to watch on Disney+ in the UK, makes for great entertainment. And with the season two premiere hitting five million views in just five days of streaming, it's undeniably popular. From Sodastreams so you can get your 'dirty soda' fix at home (petition for the UK to get its own Swig location, please), to Taylor's exact lip combo, we've gathered all of the SLOMW-inspired buys you'll want to buy, ASAP. Now, if we could just get the theme tune out of our heads. SodaStream Terra Bundle Kit The #SLOMW girls are obsessed with 'dirty sodas', and since its release date, fans have been taking to TikTok to recreate or create their own versions of the girl's favourite drinks. Since, unfortunately, we don't have Swig in the UK, we're using a SodaStream to get our 'dirty soda' fix at home. The luxe machine allows users to create an endless variety of carbonated drinks at the push of the button, and customers have noted it's a great way to save on the expense of buying fizzy drinks at the supermarket. What's your favourite combination? £149.99 Shop Stanley Rose Quartz Quencher H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler Of course, you'll need somewhere to store your soda, and the #MomTok girls are rarely spotted without their trusty Stanley cups in tow. We love this baby pink option, with a convenient carry handle and straw for on the go sipping. Not only does it look super cute, but it also boasts vacuum insulation which keeps drinks cold for up to nine hours. £32 Shop Brushworks Pink Cloud Headband MomTok member Whitney Leavitt was widely regarded as the 'villain' of #SLOMW season one, and shocked viewers when she returned for season two groveling to become part of the group again. Whether you're a fan of Whitney or not, many TikTok users have dubbed her as the best dressed on the show, and she's rarely without a headband in tow! This bubble-shaped design would definitely get the Whitney stamp of approval, and customers have noted it's great for keeping hair out of your face when doing skincare or makeup. £8.99 Shop Will MomTok Survive This Graphic Sticker After the shocking revelation in the season two, part one finale, we've all been left wondering one question: will MomTok survive this? Made from a durable, water-resistant material, this graphic sticker is great for adding a SLOMW spin on your laptop, water bottle or notebook, and is the perfect gift for a friend who's equally obsessed with the show. £1.64 Shop Revlon ColorStay Lip Liner in Nude As if we couldn't love #MomTok queen Taylor Frankie Paul anymore, she took to TikTok to share her much-requested, signature lip look - and it's under £18 (and available in the UK, thankfully). Taylor shared that she uses Revlon's ColorStay Lip Liner in shade Nude to overline her lips - and the long-wear formula lasts for hours without smudging or bleeding. We're obsessed! £5.59 Shop Milani Keep It Full Lip Plumper in Soft Rose The next step in Taylor's lip routine is to slather on Milani's Keep It Full Lip Plumper in Soft Rose. The muted, pink-nude gloss applies like butter, and boasts a slight cooling sensation that provides a plumping effect to the list - you'll want to make sure it's always in your handbag. £13 Shop Free People Sprint To The Finish Pants Though we can't peel our eyes away from the on-screen drama, the fashion on SLOMW keeps us interested, too. The MomTok girls effortlessly stay looking comfortable and cute, often clad in athleisure get ups and coordinating sets. Taylor recently took to Instagram and shared a video in these Free People tracksuit bottoms, which, of course, prompted a flurry of comments asking where she got them. We've tracked them down for you, and the bottoms will not only pair great with an oversized tee or other items of workout wear, but also boast cosy fleece-lined interior to keep you snug when the weather cools down. £98 Shop Told You So by Mayci Neeley SLOMW star Mayci Neeley is set to release her own book in October, and it's now available to pre-order on Amazon - and we can't wait to read it. Described as a 'dark and funny memoir', the book will detail what growing up Mormon is really like, as well as her experience becoming an early mother and losing her son's father in a tragic accident. As well as providing readers with the inside happenings of the MomTok group, the book will also offer an insightful glimpse into Mayci's journey with love and loss. £21.46 Shop Amazon Basics Extendable Tripod On the latest season, MomTok member Mikayla Matthews revealed that she makes her husbands entire yearly salary off one brand deal alone. Tempted to start your own MomTok, yet? If so, you'll want to invest in this tripod from Amazon, which doubles as a selfie stick, with universal smartphone compatibility and a wireless remote. 100 per cent beginner friendly, it's a must have for those looking to form MomTok 2.0. £14 Shop

Meet The Kids Of 'The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives'
Season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives debuted on May 15, and fans once again cannot get enough of the drama that seemingly follows the #MomTok friend group everywhere. But aside from the scandals and gossip, the next most shocking thing about the cast might just be how many children they collectively have. Between Taylor Frankie Paul, Jessi Ngatikaura, Demi Engemann, Mayci Neely, Layla Taylor, Mikayla Matthews, Whitney Leavitt, Jen Affleck, and Miranda McWhorter, there are 22 kids in the Mormon Wives family tree, with an additional three babies on the way. Here's what you need to know about each cast member's family while we wait for this highly-anticipated saga to continue! Taylor, who's 31, and her ex-husband, Tate Paul, share two kids: Indy May and Ocean. Their daughter, Indy, was born in August 2017, and Ocean entered the world in June 2020. Then, in March 2024, Taylor and her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, had their first son together and named him Ever. The Mormon Wives star has acknowledged that her baby names are more unconventional, saying on , "The names I love are not just for everyone. I feel like they're kinda unique." As for why she chose the name Ever for her latest, it reportedly means "always, eternity, and strong as a boar." Jessi Ngatikaura and her husband, Jordan Ngatikaura, tied the knot on October 8, 2020, and the couple shares two biological children. First, their son Jagger Zayn was born in April 2020. Later, in January 2023, they added a new baby girl to their family, Jovi. Similar to Taylor, Jessi also detailed the thought process behind her children's unorthodox names. "We chose Jovi because we have a son named Jagger, and I liked the theme of, like, old rock and roll–Bon Jovi, Mick Jagger. I just felt like they really went well together," she said on . Jessi is also a stepmother to Peyton, Jordan's 12-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. Demi Engemann, 31, was previously married to Blake Corbin for five years, and together, they had a daughter named Maude. However, in 2020, the pair decided to divorce. Since then, she's remarried Bret Engemann. They tied the knot in 2021, and the union expanded their family since Demi became the stepmother of Bret's sons, Cole and Rome Engemann. Still, Demi apparently wants to have another baby and discussed her fertility struggles during the show's second season, calling it "so taxing and emotionally draining." "It's more how bad Maude wants a sibling and how bad I want that with someone that I'm in love with," she shared. Mayci's first child, Hudson, was born in September 2015, just under six months after Arick Mack, his father, sadly passed away in a car crash. The 30-year-old got married to Jacob Neeley years later, in 2018, and he legally adopted Hudson. Now, the pair shares another daughter, Harlow, who was born in February 2021, and they are expecting a third. Mayci revealed the news of her pregnancy in February 2025, saying that her kids were "so excited" about the prospect of having another sibling. (via PEOPLE) Mikayla Matthews was just 16 when she became pregnant with Beckham Jace, her first child, and later welcomed him into the world on July 3, 2017. She went on to have her first daughter, Haven Monroe, in August 2019 and another daughter, Tommie Grace, in November 2021. However, Mikayla's family tree isn't finished. Back in February, she announced that she was pregnant again and expressed her desire to continue having more children. "I'm surrounded by Mormon culture still, and my husband's siblings all have so many kids. They're like, 'Once you hit three kids, you can have 10 kids.' That's kind of the mindset I have," she told . "When people ask me how many kids I want, I'm like, 'I've always wanted three or four, but I could see myself having six.'" Whitney Leavitt, 32, and her husband, Connor Leavitt, tied the knot in Provo, Utah, in 2016. They've gone on to have three children, Sedona, Liam, and Billy Gene, who were born in 2019, 2021, and 2024, respectively. Unlike Mikayla, though, it seems that Whitney and Connor are satisfied with their current child count. So, it remains unclear whether they'll be adding any more babies to the household. "We are most excited about having our family complete. We've always wanted three kids, and we're so happy everyone's here now," Whitney told following Billy Gene's arrival. Jen Affleck, who's 25, got married to her husband, Zac Affleck, in 2019. Now, they have two kids and are expecting their third. Their daughter, Nora, was born in November 2021, and their son, Lucas, entered the world in July 2023. Jen is expected to deliver her newest addition later in the year and shared how excited her kids were, particularly Nora, to potentially have a baby sister. Layla Taylor is 24 years old and a mother of two. She and her ex-husband, Clayton Wessel, have two sons, Oliver "Ollie" Clay and Maxwell Dean. But in 2023, Layla filed for divorce after three years of marriage and became a single mom of two toddlers. Finally, 27-year-old Miranda McWhorter and her ex-husband, Chase McWhorter, announced their divorce in 2024. But before their split, they had two children together: a son named Brooks and a daughter named Cohen. Looking for more & news? Follow us on so you never miss a thing!
