Jennifer Affleck, 27, is currently pregnant with her fourth child as she moves to dissolve her seven-year marriage to Zac Affleck. The expectant mother filed for divorce in the Fourth Judicial District Court in Provo, Utah, according to court documents obtained by ABC News on Wednesday.
The Affleck couple met in 2018 on the Mormon dating app Mutual. Jen was 18 years old and Zac was 21 at the time. They wed in 2019 and raised three children together: Nora, Luca, and Penelope. Jen gained public recognition through social media platforms, including the MomTok group, before being cast in Hulu’s docuseries The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives in 2024.
Tensions between the couple were documented in the series. Following the first season, they briefly separated, a storyline that featured prominently in the second season. Jen discovered she was pregnant with their third child during that separation. The pair continued to appear together in seasons three through five of the show. While Jen competed on season 34 of Dancing with the Stars, Zac supported her from the audience and on social media.
Jen reflected on their early years as a couple in an Instagram post from 2024. She described them as "young, naive, and inexperienced" when they married. "We didn’t always see eye to eye, and a lot of times, we still don’t," she wrote. "But that’s what marriage is, we keep trying." She credited her husband with supporting and believing in her more than anyone else.
ABC News reached out to representatives for Jen Affleck for comment. Disney, which owns both ABC News and Hulu, has not issued a statement regarding the filing. The couple’s split comes just days before the premiere of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County on November 12.
Jen Affleck is scheduled to appear in the new Hulu spinoff. The show will feature the Mormon Wives cast in a new location. The divorce filing marks the end of a relationship that began when Jen was a teenager and Zac was just out of high school.
