Jessi Draper and Jordan Ngatikaura Both in New Romances as They Sign off on Divorce
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Jessi Draper and Jordan Ngatikaura have officially closed the book on their marriage. Just six months after announcing their split, their divorce has been finalized. The former flames came to a fairly quick resolution, considering how bitter the split appeared to be at first. There might be a reason for that; both Jordan and Jessi moved on months ago. They were both in new relationships.
Jordan Ngatikaura and Jessi Draper’s divorce is final
Jordan Ngatikaura and Jessi Draper finalized their divorce on September 10, according to TMZ. The sign-off came about six months after Jordan filed for divorce, a decision that Jessi initially framed as sudden and unexpected, despite the couple’s well-documented struggles.
During the initial fallout, Jessi made it clear that their split was not amicable, with an appearance on Call Her Daddy where she called him out for alleged fame-seeking behavior. She told host Alex Cooper that while she knew the divorce was coming, the filing was a surprise. “He blindsided me and filed because he wanted the headline first,” she said.
Things took an interesting legal turn when Jordan sought a restraining order against Jessi. The order was not granted. Jessi spoke out, accusing him of attending orgies, hiring escorts, and otherwise acting unfaithfully during their marriage. Jessi’s affair with Marciano Brunette played out on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, but Jordan’s alleged extramarital activities were downplayed.
The couple, married since 2020, share two children, Jovi and Jagger. Jordan is also father to a daughter, Peyton, from a previous relationship.
Jessi moved on with another star
While Jessi Draper claimed she was blindsided by Jordan Ngatikaura filing for divorce, she wasted no time moving on. Her dating life became public almost immediately. In late March, she was spotted kissing Chase McWhorter, the ex-husband of fellow Mormon Wives star Miranda Hope, at a party. Jessi later apologized to Hope.
Her link to Chase was short-lived. Since then she’s been linked to Marciano Brunette. The pair appear to very much be a couple, despite Jessi claiming she very much planned to stay single. They’ve been spotted looking very cozy on several occasions. They even walked a red carpet together and looked thoroughly coupled up.
Jordan’s new chapter
While all eyes are on Jessi’s new romance with a fellow reality TV star, Jordan Ngatikaura has been moving on, too. He is currently dating Jillian Brooke, a TikToker. The pair have opted not to play coy when it comes to their romance. Jillian has been very candid about the romance, updating her followers on their dates through a series of videos. To be fair, Jordan is staying far quieter than his partner.
It is unclear if these romances are built to last, but they certainly haven’t minded flaunting their love lives now that they are no longer trying to hold their marriage together. The aftermath of their divorce is expected to be featured on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
