They survived Chippendales, a separation, a surprise pregnancy, Dancing With the Stars, and a move to California. Now fans are asking again.
If you’ve been watching “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” since Season 1, you already know that Jen and Zac Affleck‘s relationship has never been a simple story. As of May 2026, the answer to whether they are still together is — probably, but the picture is murkier than it has been in a while.
Here’s the full breakdown.
The History in Brief
Jen and Zac met on Mutual, a Mormon dating app, in 2018. They got married in June 2019, just five months after Zac proposed. They have three children together: daughter Nora, born November 2021; son Luca, born July 2023; and daughter Penelope, born July 2025.
Their marriage has been one of the central storylines of SLOMW since the beginning. A fight over Jen attending a Chippendales show in Las Vegas became a focal point of Season 1, with Zac telling Jen he did not want to be married to her if she did things like that.
The fallout led to a period of separation between Seasons 1 and 2. They moved to Arizona for Zac to attend medical school. Hedropped out almost immediately to follow Jen back to Utah to work on their marriage. Jen has described being “not opposed to divorce” at certain points. They stayed together.
By the time Season 4 aired in early 2026, they appeared to be in a more stable place. Zac attended therapy, acknowledged he had messed up, and told Jen he wanted to fight for their marriage. Jen, for her part, has consistently said their love is real even when their challenges are significant.
The Dancing With the Stars Chapter
In fall 2025, Jen competed on “Dancing With the Stars” Season 34 — just two months after giving birth to Penelope.
Zac relocated with her to Los Angeles and was her most vocal supporter throughout. She gave him the first shoutout in her post-premiere posts, writing that the dream was “only possible because of my village: Zac, my family, friends, mentors, and all of you.”
She was eliminated during the Halloween episode but left the show with her platform significantly expanded and the couple appearing genuinely solid.
The April 2026 Concern
Here is where things get less clear. On April 7, Jen posted a “life update” to social media in which she got emotional and started crying, saying she was going through a “hard time.” Fans noticed she was not wearing her wedding ring in the video, which prompted immediate speculation about a separation.
She did not explicitly address her marriage in the post. The ring detail was noticed by fans rather than confirmed by Jen. No separation has been announced.
What the Social Media Timeline Suggests
Zac’s last post featuring the two of them together was approximately five weeks ago with the caption “Excited for new beginnings.”
Jen’s last loving couple content was around nine weeks ago — a playful carousel that read as genuinely happy. Her most recent Stories, posted last night, appear to show a house tour — possibly a new home, possibly the “new beginnings” Zac mentioned, possibly something else entirely.
Whether a new house is a sign of fresh starts together or something more complicated is not confirmed.
The gap in couple content is noticeable. It is also not conclusive. Both of them have posted individually since then, and neither has said anything publicly about their relationship status.
The Short Answer
As of today, Jen and Zac Affleck have not confirmed a separation. The April life update video, the missing ring, the gap in couple content, and the house tour Stories have all combined to send fans searching — which is likely why this is a trending question right now. The spinoff will presumably address whatever is actually happening in their marriage, because that is what this franchise does.
Until then, the honest answer is: unknown, but worth watching.
