'Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives': Taylor Frankie Paul On What To Expect Next
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2 ended on a huge cliffhanger and while Taylor Frankie Paul couldn't reveal exactly what happens, she's offering a glimpse into what viewers can expect to see in the upcoming episodes. "There's some unexpected storylines that popped up," Paul told Newsweek of the 10 remaining episodes. The Context In the last episode of Season 2 that has been released, Vanderpump Villa star Marciano Brunette tells Mormon Wives cast member Layla Taylor, that he had an affair with cast member Jessi Ngatikaura. He claimed in the episode that it wasn't just a one time thing, leaving Taylor shocked. Earlier in the season there were rumors that something transpired between Brunette and cast member Demi Engemenn when some of the Mormon Wives cast visited Vanderpump Villa. Engemenn denied anything happened between herself and Brunette, calling it a shame that a man and a woman can't have a friendly interaction and Ngatiukaura has denied that Brunette's account of what happened is accurate. What to Know In the fall, Hulu greenlit 20 more episodes of the show and has only released 10 more as part of Season 2. The last episode ended on a "to be continued" message, leaving viewers wondering if there would be a second part to Season 2 or if viewers would have to wait for Season 3. Unlike after Season 1, the Mormon Wives cast didn't get a break between filming what viewers saw in Season 2 and what they'll see on the upcoming episodes. Paul said it's difficult to do back-to-back filming, partially because it blurs together and they don't want to reveal spoilers about what viewers haven't seen and partially because it is a lot of time away from their kids. "A lot of us were feeling a lot of shame, I think," Paul told Newsweek, referencing the mom guilt the cast feels. "However, there's this different mindset where I'm like, okay, we have to think about this as a crunch back to back but then we're gonna have the majority of the summer with our kids." Taylor Frankie Paul of 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' visits SiriusXM Studios on September 11, 2024 in New York City. Taylor Frankie Paul of 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' visits SiriusXM Studios on September 11, 2024 in New York filming was continuous, Paul said viewers will get to see the aftermath of the drama between Brunette and Ngatikaura, and of course, more conflict between the women on the show. But, she added that there's also conflict between different people. "It's actually crazy. It's mind blowing to me because I know there's a lot of people that think this is all produced or scripted, but it's not. It's all real, unfortunately," Paul said. While Paul thought that she'd get a break from the drama, that turned out not to be the case last season and she said it isn't the case for the next batch of episodes that will be released. What They're Saying Ngatikaura on "The Viall Files" podcast: "Relationships are hard and they're nuanced. There's so much more that I'm excited to share because I think people will be able to relate to my story. I think it may help people." Miranda McWhorter told People: "You'll get answers and maybe a little bit of closure, regarding [the end]." What Happens Next With filming expected to wrap before summer, it's possible viewers could get new episodes before the end of the year. But, the exact timeline of when episodes will be released – and whether it'll be Season 2, Part 2 or Season 3 – has not been confirmed by Hulu.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: What Are The Jordan Rumours?
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives ' Jessi Ngatikaura and husband Jordan are in the middle of a rumour storm, after four years of marriage. The pair share three kids Jagger, 5, and Jovi, 2, as well as Jordan's daughter Peyton, 12, from a previous relationship. Are the couple now getting a divorce? The drama came from another reality star claiming that he and Jessi began an affair, after she and her costars appeared on his show. Vanderpump Villa 's Marciano Brunette claimed he and Jessi had an onscreen romance, telling another Mormon Wives' cast member: 'One thing led to another.' But while she's neither confirming or denying this (she's said there's 'so much more' to the story), Jessi has come out in defence of her marriage. 'I will say that reality TV is hard on any relationship — whether it's a friendship or a marriage,' Jessi told The Viall Files podcast on 20 May. 'We're working through things and we're trying our best, but things are a little tricky right now.' A notable point was she wasn't wearing her wedding ring during this. 'Relationships are hard and they're nuanced,' Jessi went on. 'There's so much more that I'm excited to share because I think people will be able to relate to my story and I think it may help people.' One of the more telling parts of the interview came when the host asked her if she thought Jordan was a good role model to their daughters. 'I think that there's been a lot that's happened. I think that he and I are both willing to work on things and change. But maybe he should be asked that question because that might wake him up. But no, I think there's a lot of things that have needed to change.' Meanwhile, Viall, the host, suggested he'd 'heard some things' about Jordan he was 'really disappointed' to learn. 'I hope they're not true. Clearly, you can't tell me,' he said. 'But your answer is revealing. I'd love the opportunity to talk with him about some of the things I have heard if they end up being true because it's really quite sad and disappointing.' Still, the pair seem to be committed to each other. Jordan shared a heartfelt message on Instagram earlier this month, saying: 'Happy Mother's Day to the heart of our family. There are so many things I admire about Jessi, but the way you love and mother our kids is something I'm endlessly grateful for. Your strength, your softness, and the way you show up for them every single day is nothing short of beautiful. You were made to be their mom and they are so lucky to have you. Through all of life's ups and downs, I still choose you. I still love you every single day.' Seasons one and two of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives are available to stream on Disney+

Is There a Season 2, Part 2 of 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives'? What We Know
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has captured millions of viewers and the season seemingly ending on a cliff hanger has fans wondering if another 10 episodes could be coming out to end season 2. Newsweek reached out to Hulu via email for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication. The Context The series has become a breakout unscripted hit for Hulu, offering a rare window into the real-life drama and friendship challenges of Mormon social media influencers. It broke Hulu's unscripted premiere records and scoring millions of views within days of it premiering in 2024. Last fall, Hulu quickly announced Secret Lives of Mormon Wives had the go ahead for 20 more episodes, although, it's unclear if those 20 episodes will be part of season 2 or broken up between season 2 and 3. Is There a Season 2, Part 2 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives? It's unclear if there is going to be a season 2 part two of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Hulu has not announced a part two, and there's no indication on Hulu that the episodes that have been released so far are part one. However, the last episode of the second season ends on a cliffhanger as to whether Demi Engemenn and Marciano Brunette from Vanderpump Villa had an affair. That, combined with the order of 20 more episodes in the fall, has fans wondering if another 10 episodes will be coming out. Layla Taylor, Miranda McWhorter, Jessi Ngatikaura, Mikayla Matthews, Mayci Neeley, Taylor Frankie Paul, Jennifer Affleck, Whitney Leavitt and Demi Engemann attend the Los Angeles Premiere and FYC Event of Hulu's "The Secret Lives Of Mormon... Layla Taylor, Miranda McWhorter, Jessi Ngatikaura, Mikayla Matthews, Mayci Neeley, Taylor Frankie Paul, Jennifer Affleck, Whitney Leavitt and Demi Engemann attend the Los Angeles Premiere and FYC Event of Hulu's "The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives" Season 2 at Paramount Studios on May 09, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. MoreAre There More Episodes of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives? There are at least 10 more episodes of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, according to the announcement made in the fall. At this time, Hulu has not provided a specific release date for the next 10 episodes. However, if Hulu follows its same pattern, there will not be a part two of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Hulu has used a similar strategy for other reality hits, such as The Kardashians, where the company has signed off on 20 episodes but broken them up into two separate seasons. So, the remaining 10 episodes could be put out in Season 3 instead of Season 2, Part 2. When Will Season 3 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Come Out? No official premiere date for a third season has been announced by Hulu. However, it's possible viewers won't have that long to wait, since Season 2 premiered only about eight months after Season 1. What People Are Saying Rob Mills, Executive Vice President, Unscripted and Alternative Entertainment, Walt Disney Television, told Deadline in October: "There was a philosophical question raised in season one which was 'Can #MomTok survive this?' The answer unequivocally is yes! Spring 2025, get your dirty sodas ready!" Engemenn told Us Weekly: "Nothing happened with Marciano. At the expense of sounding rude, there wasn't even a remote attraction to him. It sucks that women can't be kind and friendly and even playful with men in this world without it being taken as like you're open. I had a rock on my finger the entire time I was there." What Happens Next The release date for the next 10 episodes of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has not been formally announced. Executive producer Jeff Jenkins told the Hollywood Reporter he'd love to get someone who works for the Church of Latter Day Saints to come on the show and share their perspective.

What to know about the cheating drama involving Demi and Jessi from 'Mormon Wives' and 'Vanderpump Villa' star Marciano
" The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" season two ended on a major cliffhanger when Marciano from "Vanderpump Villa" accused the MomToker Jessi of cheating on her husband with him. The drama then spilled over onto social media, where Demi called Marciano a "sexual predator" after he said he wasn't let into a Hulu event for reality stars. Here's what to know about the drama involving Jessi, Marciano, and, Demi. Marciano flirted unashamedly with Demi on "Vanderpump Villa." Season two of " Vanderpump Villa," where reality stars work in luxurious hotel pop-ups owned by Lisa Vanderpump of "Vanderpump Rules," sees Jessi, Demi, Jen, Layla, and Mikayla of "Mormon Wives" staying in one of the hotels in Italy. Marciano, one of the servers, tries to flirt with Demi and kisses her on the side of her head as they hug in episode four. Referring to the hotel, in the season two reunion Marciano says he and Demi "had a strong attraction in the castle that led to something outside the hotel" but that "Demi was not the only person that I was interested in." Hannah from "Vanderpump Villa" responds: "so then you went for her best friend." Marciano declines to explain further, saying the truth will be revealed on "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives." Marciano says on "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" season two that he had sex with Jessi. Whether Demi and Bret cheated on each other is a key storyline in "Mormon Wives" season two, which premiered on May 15 and was filmed after "Vanderpump Villa." In episode two, Jen accuses Demi of cheating by flirting with Marciano on the crossover show. And in episode three, Mayci says someone anonymously contacted her on Instagram to claim that they slept with Bret. Demi and Bret deny the accusations, but their costars begin to doubt them by the end of the season. In episode seven, Zac, Jen's husband, tells Whitney, another MomToker, that Demi threatened to get a cease-and-desist order to stop Jen and others from talking about what happened on the "Vanderpump Villa" trip. Demi denied this in an interview with Entertainment Tonight published May 16. In the final scene of season two, Marciano tells Layla that he misinterpreted Demi's flirting, thinking she was attracted to him. Then Marciano drops the bombshell that he kissed and had sex with Jessi, and says that her husband, Jordan, doesn't know the full extent of the alleged affair. "It was not just a one-time hookup thing," Marciano says. The season three teaser shows that Jessi will discuss the scandal with Layla and her husband in future episodes. The revelation seemingly comes out of nowhere, but in episode six, the MomTokers ask Jessi about rumors that she kissed Marciano at a party at a bar in Hollywood, which she denies. On May 16, a day after season two was released, Jessi shared a post on Instagram and TikTok captioned: "I'll speak when I can." The next day, Layla wrote on TikTok and Instagram: "can't wait for more, lots left out after editing. Lots of truth to come out." Demi called Marciano a "sexual predator," sparking a new argument on social media. Ahead of the season, fans began noticing the tension between the MomTokers and Marciano. On April 22, Marciano posted a video on Instagram captioned: "Uninvited to the function cus a 30yo Mormon wife's scared I'll tell the husband the truth." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Marciano (@marcianob) That was the night that Hulu hosted its "Get Real" event for reality show contestants in LA. Fans thought Marciano was referring to Demi, who responded in the comment section of a "Mormon Wives" fan account: "Grown men acting like a child cause they couldn't bag a woman that was beyond out of their league and MARRIED 🤮 <<< the clout chasing is on another level." She later wrote: "Also he got uninvited by @hulu because he's a s3xual pr3dator that can't keep his hands to himself, not because I'm hiding anything from my husband. He's a lying clout chaser. @marcianob hope your 15 min of fame is worth it, you're pathetic." In the comment section of a separate post by "Mormon Wives" fan account, Zac wrote: "I like this seat much better @jenniferlaffleck." Jen added: "S3xual pr3dator?? It's interesting considering she was FaceTiming him a week later, inviting him to dinner." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives! (@secretlivesmormonwives) Vulture reported in April that Jessi wrote in a since-deleted comment under a post by the same fan account that "the truth will always come out" and that the assault allegation was "not true." Vulture reported that Demi posted on her Instagram story on April 25 that any unwanted physical touch is assault and criticized her costars for calling her a liar, saying they were aware of what happened. Appearing on the Viall Files podcast on May 15, Demi said she told her costars that she got "groped, sexually assaulted" while filming "Vanderpump Villa" after they left the hotel. Demi said she asked them to swear not to tell anyone about the alleged assault and let her handle it. She added that Jessi broke her trust by telling Scheana from "Vanderpump Rules" about the alleged assault two weeks later. The drama could explain why Demi no longer following her costars Taylor, Layla, Jessi, and Jen on Instagram. Layla, Taylor, and Jen follow Demi, but Jessi follows all the members of MomTok except for Demi. Demi said on the "Viall Files" podcast that Jessi blocked her. A representative for Hulu, Demi, Marciano, Jessi, Layla, and Jen did not immediately respond to a comment request from Business Insider.
