Meet the cast of ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’

Taylor Frankie Paul is the woman who kick-started “MomTok” and is also the one who sparked The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ creation.

In June 2022, she shocked the internet when she announced her divorce from her ex-husband, Tate Paul, and revealed details about their “soft swinging” lifestyle.

Born on 23 May 1994, Taylor is 30 years old and is the mother to three kids: Indy, Ocean and Ever True. Indy and Ocean’s father is Tate, while Taylor had Ever True with her former partner Dakota Mortensen.

She currently has 5.1 million followers on TikTok.

Demi Engemann was born on 3 August 1994 and is 30 years old.

She is currently married to Bret Engemann, a relationship that has gained a lot of interest due to the couple’s 16-year age-gap.

“So if you don’t know, my husband and I are 16 years apart and I knew him through a family friend growing up,” Demi shared in a TikTok video in February 2023. “He was so much older than me. When I was 9 years old, he was married to his first wife and having babies.”

Demi has one child, a daughter named Maude, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Blake Corbin. She is also the step-mother to Bret’s two kids.

She currently has one million followers on TikTok.

She is married to Zac Affleck – the cousin of actors Ben Affleck and Casey Affleck – and the couple share two kids together: son Luca and daughter Nora. Jen is also pregnant with their third child!

Speaking on the first season of the show, Jen said, “It feels like we got ten years of marriage counseling in this one season of filming.”

She currently has 1.8 million followers on TikTok.

At 32, Jessi Ngatikaura considers herself the “grandma of the group.”

She owns a hair school and salon called JZ Styles, and has three kids – two of which she shares with her husband, Jordan, whom she married in 2020. 

The couple share son Jagger and daughter Jovi together, and her daughter Peyton is from Jessi’s previous marriage.

Born on 23 February 1995, she is 30 years old and has been married to her husband Jacob Neeley since 2018, and she has two children. 

Her first child, a boy named Hudson, is the son of Mayci’s previous partner Arik who tragically died in a car accident shortly before his birth in 2015.

She fell pregnant with her first child at just 16 years old, and has since welcomed two more kids – with another one now on the way!

She currently has 2.9 million followers on TikTok.
