Mormon Wives’ Jen Affleck Quiets Divorce Rumors With Wedding Ring Pic
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Jen Affleck has shut down speculation that she split from husband Zac Affleck by simply flashing her wedding ring.
In a Saturday, October 12, TikTok video shared by Mormon Wives costar Mayci Neeley, the pair danced in a living room with Mikayla Matthews. The 25-year-old, for her part, held up her left hand and showed off her engagement ring and wedding band for the camera.
Mayci, 29, and Mikayla, 24, lip-synched Amy Winehouse’s “Me & Mr. Jones” song, “What kind of f—ery is this? You make me miss the Slick Rick gig.”
Mayci also captioned her post, “You’re confused? I’m confused.”
Several hours earlier, Mikayla had fueled rumors that Jen and Zac had secretly split up. (The Mormon Wives cast recently resumed filming season 2 and, per social videos, are currently on a group trip in the countryside.)
In Mikayla’s video, the trio lip-synched to a quote from Kim Kardashian from Hulu’s The Kardashians. In the season 3 premiere, Kim, 43, was asked about her relationship status in a confessional. After the producer revealed that Kim was “still” seeing now-ex Pete Davidson, the Skims mogul quipped, “I was? Damn.”

Jen lip-synched to Kim’s lines while pretending to cry, adding, “Things change really quickly. … No, not OK.”
Days earlier, fans theorized that Jen and Zac had broken up since she did not wear her rings in a recent #MomTok video. A People source, however, debunked the claim. (Us Weekly reached out for comment.)
Jen and Zac, who claims to be a second cousin to actor Ben Affleck, recently left their Utah hometown for New York, where he attends medical school, with daughter Nora and son Luca.
The Afflecks’ marital issues were highlighted on season 1 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Zac even claimed to want a divorce after learning that Jen and the fellow MomTok influencers planned to see the Chippendales revue. (Jen and Zac, like most of the cast members, are devout members of the Church of Latter-Day Saints.)
Despite the finale cliffhanger teasing a potential breakup, Jen and Zac stayed together.

“I definitely think it was the best thing to happen to our relationship. While watching the show, a lot of people are going to think that maybe this would break our relationship apart. But if anything, it did the opposite,” Jen exclusively told Us Weekly before the series’ September 6 premiere. “Being on camera and having those moments happen made us take a step back and actually look at a relationship and make us just see what we have to change.”
She continued, “Ever since we finished filming, we’ve been doing nonstop therapy and it’s been great. So if anything, [watching the show] is just going to be exposure therapy at this point.”
Jen has continued doubling down in support of Zac in frequent social media messages and videos.
