Inside the relationship histories of the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives shows the lives of women who had different marriage paths. Some had only been married once, while others had gone through divorce or had been married before joining the show.

Their timelines showed how each person reached their stage in life at the time of filming and why certain relationships became part of the story. The information came from what the cast shared in public posts, interviews, or on the show.

One of the clearest comments came from Jordan Ngatikaura, who talked about his first marriage on a podcast. He said,

“Very soon, we realised she wanted to do the whole Mormon route… I just didn’t believe in it,” and added that he felt “so upset that I let my daughter down.”

His words showed how past relationships affected later events in his life.

The details below set out who had been married once, who had been married more than once, and who had experienced divorce. They also detail on how some partners were linked to more than one cast member through earlier marriages.

These timelines reflect the marriages, separations, and blended families that shaped connections within the group.
