Where ‘Mormon Wives’ star Jessi Ngatikaura stands with husband Jordan after her affair with Marciano Brunette
Jessi Ngatikaura and her husband, Jordan, are still “together” after her affair with Marciano Brunette was exposed on “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” a source confirms to Page Six.
The reality stars are continuing to make their marriage work, the insider added, noting that Jessi even has Jordan tagged in her Instagram bio.
A wedding ring emoji currently appears beside his name, shutting down speculation that they have split.
Jessi discussed how she and Jordan are slowly mending their relationship in a new interview with Us Weekly, published Friday.
“They’re getting better. I will say that this coming out — and us having to film about it — has been forced therapy,” she said. “We had to talk about things we were sweeping under the rug. We’ve been in therapy since all of this, and that’s helped a lot.”
Jessi, 33, said that she and Jordan are both trying to address their respective challenges.
“There’s things I needed to work on, there’s things Jordan needed to work on, and we’re both actively doing that. We’re both making steps to improve and get better,” she said.
The Hulu personality understands that the results won’t be immediate.
“I feel like it’s going to be a journey that takes time,” she admitted. “We’re trying to make it work, and we are just taking it day by day to see if we can make those changes happen.”
During the Season 2 finale, Brunette revealed on camera that he and Jessi had an affair.
Jessi then clarified in Season 3 that it was more of an emotional connection, confessing that they did, in fact, kiss — but never hooked up.
“It was surreal [rewatching Season 3 back],” Jessi told Us Weekly. “I feel like half the time I could just tell I was struggling. I just felt like I was empty when I was watching it.”
“So that was really hard for me — especially because I know the emotion I was feeling in certain scenes,” she continued. “But it also was kind of therapeutic to watch it back and see it from a different lens because it’s now been a few months and I healed a little more.”
Jessi said she wasn’t “in love” with the “Vanderpump Villa” star, but that she “confided in him a lot.”
“The dynamic with Jordan that I had had in my marriage, I hadn’t really talked to anyone about it,” she said. “My family and friends had been aware because they’d seen things but I tried to be like, ‘Everything’s fine.’”
Jessi and Brunette had a two-week emotional affair before she came clean to her husband.
“Jordan found out when he went through my phone and put an end to it,” she said. “But it was a blessing in disguise because it needed to end. I did not want to carry this on for months or years. I didn’t know how to get out of it.”
Jessi revealed that she hasn’t had contact with Brunette “in over six months” and has “blocked him” on all forms of social media.
She and Jordan have been married since 2020 and share two kids: Jagger, 5, and Jovi, 2. Jordan also has a daughter from a previous marriage.
