The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3 premiered on November 13, 2025.

Some of the show's cast members, including Jen Affleck, Layla Taylor, and Jessi Ngatukaura, appeared on an interview with Entertainment Tonight on November 20, 2025.

The three asked each other various questions surrounding the show's latest and previous seasons. They shared their thoughts on their relationships, challenges they faced, fellow cast members, and more.

When Jessi faced a question regarding her relationship, she opened up. She talked about the challenges she and her husband faced. She noted the two had been going through therapy, and it had been a process for them.

"Relationships are not perfect. We all know they can be really hard, and season 3 was rough for us. But we've been doing a lot of therapy, a lot of working on ourselves and each other. And it's been a process, but I feel like it's relatable to anyone going through something like this, and I just hope the audience can see that we're doing the best we can and each day we're progressing, hopefully," shared Jessi.

While on the interview, Jen, Jessi, and Taylor interviewed each other and asked interesting questions. The first one was for Jessi. The video clip noted that she revealed having an affair with Vanderpump Villa star Marciano.

The question she faced was related to how she and her husband had been going through this difficult situation. She was also asked about how she wanted everyone to know about her current relationship status.

"You and your husband are still together after a very difficult season. What do you want people to know about the status of your relationship now and the work you've done to where you are today."

In response, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jessi noted that relationships were not perfect. She and her husband had been going through therapy and also working on themselves. Throughout the process, they had been making progress. Jenn added that it was one step at a time. Jessi agreed to that.

The second question Jessi faced was about Marciano. It was about when she talked to him and how she would describe her current relationship with Jordan.

"It's been a long time. You guys see a lot in season 3 that I do talk to Marciano and get to the bottom of things, but that relationship is no longer. I'll say that," revealed Jessi.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen read the next question. It was about how quickly relationships on MomTalk change. The three were asked to reveal their current most and least close cast member.

Jessi mentioned that all of them have been close outside the show. But, they also noted that they all had been best friends except for Demi. Later, Jen was asked a question regarding her break from MomTalk.

In regards to returning to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives for the latest season, she noted that she had been nervous. However, she wanted to confront her issue and face it head-on.
