Scheananigans with Scheana Shay, a podcast hosted by Vanderpump Rules alum Scheana Shay, opened up about Marciano Brunette and Jessi Ngatikaura in her May 23, 2025, episode.
Fans must remember The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jessi Ngatikaura from the Hulu show and Vanderpump Rules' Marciano Brunette. During the latest podcast episode, Scheana revealed seeing Marciano and Jessi involved in a "very flirty" behavior.
Recalling the night when she witnessed the two, Scheana shared:
"I did not see (Marciano and Jessi) making out but they were, however, all over each other. Very, very flirty. I literally was standing right next to him and I was like, Damn, I don't greet him with hugs like that."

Recalling the events of what happened with Marciano and how the second season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives ended on a cliffhanger, Scheana didn't reveal much. However, she stated she had no NDA signed, so she could say whatever she wanted to from the events that she witnessed.
"I have no NDA signed. I can say whatever the f*ck I want. But out of respect for all of the viewers who are left on that cliffhanger (on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2), I don’t want to reveal too much because I know a lot."
The podcast host recalled Marciano sharing about his alleged romantic connection with Jessi, with her and Demi Engemann. It was during a FaceTime call:
"The three of us had a FaceTime call together after that night at TomTom."
Even though she didn't witness the two "making out," they were "all over each other." Further, she recalled how Jessi had talked about not being in an open marriage.
After everyone returned from Jessi's hotel room and reached home, Marciano mentioned he was going back. Listening to him, going back to Jessi, Scheana refused.
The podcast host recalled her conversation with the Vanderpump Rules star:
"Marciano's like, Well, for all I know, she's a swinger. They're open. I'm like, Before you walk out of this door, you message her and you say, Is Jordan cool with this?"
With no objection, Marciano sent a text message to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jessi Ngatikaura:
"(Jessi) says something (in response to his question about an open marriage) along the lines of like, Oh yeah, definitely. Haha. Something that was very affirmative and was a yes. He shows me the text, and he's like, I'm out."
According to Scheana, Marciano came back four hours later. Fans might remember she has most of her friends' locations in her phone, through which she gathered that Marciano and Jessi were in her hotel room.
Later on, while Marciano "insinuated and alluded" that "nothing happened," Jessi denied any such incidents happening. Because of the locations, Scheana told Jessi that that was how she knew that Jessi and Marciano were at the same place.
However, according to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, Marciano went to see another girl. Later, he didn't want to go back to the house "in the middle of the night." That was the reason why he asked Jessi if he could come over, and then he "slept on the little couch chair."
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2 is now streaming on Hulu.
