Jen Affleck filed for divorce from Zac Affleck after seven years of marriage as the reality-TV couple prepares to welcome a fourth child.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck has filed for divorce from Zac Affleck after seven years of marriage. Utah court records reviewed by E! News show that the petition was filed on November 3, as the couple prepares to welcome their fourth child.
The filing follows years in the public eye
Jen and Zac met in 2018 and married the following year. They share three children, and Jen announced in June that she was pregnant again. Neither Jen nor her representative had issued a detailed public statement about the filing when the reports were published.
Their relationship has been a recurring storyline on Hulu’s reality franchise. Viewers have watched the couple discuss therapy, career ambitions and the strain of exposing private disagreements to a large audience. Jen has also spoken about the pressure of reading public commentary about her marriage and trying to step away from social media when it becomes overwhelming.
Recent episodes documented tension over Jen’s professional plans as the family moved from Utah to Southern California. The move and the pregnancy were expected to feature in the upcoming spinoff The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County. The available reports do not establish how the divorce filing may affect production or what, if anything, will appear on the series.
What is confirmed so far
E! News reported that its information came from Utah court records. Page Six also reported the filing and said a proposed parenting plan had been submitted. Details about custody, financial arrangements and a timetable for the case have not been publicly established in the material reviewed for this article.
The filing marks a legal step, but it does not by itself settle those questions. It also arrives during a sensitive period for the family, making the distinction between documented facts and reality-TV speculation especially important. Until either party speaks directly, claims about the reasons behind the decision remain unconfirmed.
For viewers, the development changes the context surrounding the couple’s recent on-screen struggles. For Jen and Zac, the next phase will unfold through the legal process and whatever they choose to share publicly, rather than through assumptions drawn from edited television scenes.
