Are ‘Mormon Wives’ Couple Jessi & Jordan Ngatikaura Still Together After the Reunion?
We’ve all been wondering whether MomTok can survive the drama, but we should be asking: Can the relationships? The Vanderpump Villa scandal became one of the epicenters of tension amongst The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast, with accusations of infidelity flying all around.
Jessi Ngatikaura‘s marriage to Jordan Ngatikaura has been under pressure because of the rumors. During The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Reunion Special, which dropped on July 1, Jessi and Jordan addressed the state of their marriage. Is their relationship on the rocks because of the cheating rumors? Scroll down to find out where they stand after Season 2.
Are Jessi and Jordan Ngatikaura still together?
Yes, it appears Jessi and Jordan are still together today. When asked by reunion host Nick Viall about why she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring, Jessi responded, “So, Jordan and I are working through a lot of hard things at the moment, but all I have to say is that I’m exposing so much of my life, and I’m just hoping that someone in my shoes may be able to relate to it. I’m doing it to help other people but also because it’s my real life. It’s happening, and I can’t hide it. There’s no secret. We are exposing it all.”
She added, “We’re both going through a lot right now, but I think he’s willing to tell his truth, too, and he’s been very vulnerable throughout Season 3, so we both just laid it all out there. There’s a lot more to the story, and it’s not what you think it is.”

Outside of the reunion special, there have been other key pieces of evidence that Jessi and Jordan are still going strong. They have continued to share posts of each other on social media. Jessi recently gushed over Jordan in honor of Father’s Day.
“Happy Father’s Day to this DILF! no one will ever quite understand the sacrifices you’ve made for our family and I’ll forever be grateful for the role you play in our children’s lives. We love you!!” Jessi wrote in her tribute.
Did Jessi Ngatikaura have sex with Marciano Brunette?
That remains unclear. Jessi was asked point-blank during the reunion special whether she had sex with the Vanderpump Villas star, and she refused to answer outright. “So, a lot of this story is unpacked in Season 3, so I can’t talk about it yet,” Jessi cryptically said.
During a conversation with Layla Taylor during The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2, Marciano made the bombshell claim that he slept with Jessi. “We have tried meeting up. Jordan doesn’t know the truth about how extensive it was. It was not just a one-time hookup thing. It was not some one-night stand,” he claimed.

The rumor grew with others alleging that Jessi and Marciano were seen making out. “If I was dumb enough to do that, I wouldn’t do it in public,” Jessi said in Season 2.
When Jordan was brought out during the reunion, he was pressed about the Jessi and Marciano cheating drama. “I knew what happened because of the conversations that I had had with Jessi, but it was really tough to have the allegations made that were made,” Jordan explained.
When Nick previously brought up the allegations with Jessi on his Viall Files podcast, Jessi deflected. “I can’t say much, unfortunately. I wish I could,” the reality star said at the time. “But there is just so much more to the story. And again, relationships are hard and they’re nuanced. There’s so much more that I’m excited to share because I think people will be able to relate to my story.”
Are Jessi and Jordan Ngatikaura still friends with Demi and Bret Engemann?
No, Jessi and Jordan are no longer friends with Demi and Bret Engemann. Demi and Bret were notably absent from the reunion because they had planned a family trip to Disneyland.
The root of Jessi and Demi’s falling out is money. According to MomTok member Mayci Neeley, Demi wanted Jessi off the show so she could make more money. “Jessi sits on an empire of this hair business and does really well financially, so it felt a little selfish to me,” Demi said on the show. Since Season 2’s release, Jessi has stressed that she will “never be friends” with Demi again.
This feud (and the Vanderpump Villa drama) has led to the demise of Jordan and Bret’s DadTok friendship. “It’s a really tough place to be,” Jordan said during the reunion. “I see him couple times a week. We wave to each other at the gym. But outside of that, we don’t talk.”
Do Jessi and Jordan Ngatikaura have kids?
Yes, Jessi and Jordan have a blended family of three kids. Jordan has a daughter named Peyton from a previous relationship. Jessi and Jordan, who married in October 2020, welcomed their first child, Jagger Zayn, in April 2020. Their daughter, Jovi, was born in January 2023.
