Reality TV Star Promises to Share Full Story Behind Cheating Rumors

LOS ANGELES, CA — Jessi Ngatikaura, a star of the Hulu series “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” announced her eagerness to reveal more details about her reported infidelity during a recent podcast appearance. This comes amid swirling rumors regarding her relationship with Marciano Brunette, which have caught public attention since season two of the show premiered on May 15.
During the podcast episode that aired on May 20, Ngatikaura addressed the tension in her marriage to Jordan Ngatikaura, stating that reality TV can be challenging for relationships. “We’re working through things, and we’re trying our best, but things are a little tricky right now,” she confessed. She emphasized her intent to eventually share her side of the story, adding, “I’m excited to hopefully someday share more about that. But right now, it’s just real life and it’s hard.”
The drama escalated when a cast member claimed in the finale of the second season that he and Ngatikaura had an affair. This allegation was reportedly compounded by public sightings of Ngatikaura and Brunette. However, Ngatikaura denied these claims, stating, “If I was dumb enough to do that, I wouldn’t do it in public.”
Later in the podcast, when asked about her absent wedding ring and the implications for her marriage, Ngatikaura stated: “Reality TV is hard on any relationship, whether it’s a friendship or a marriage. We’ve been through a lot, and now it’s gonna be public.” She continued to hint that she believes there is more to her story that audiences will relate to.
When questioned whether her husband is a good role model for their daughter, Ngatikaura replied with a straightforward “No,” suggesting both she and Jordan need to address their personal issues.
Expressing accountability, Ngatikaura stated, “I own my sh*t and I am excited to someday tell the full story and fall on my sword.” She aims to start a broader conversation about the complexities of relationships.
As season two of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” continues to unfold, viewers anticipate more revelations regarding the intricate dynamics among the cast and the impact on their personal lives.
