Overview
- Court documents obtained by multiple outlets show Jen Affleck filed a petition for divorce in Utah and submitted a proposed parenting plan as part of the filing.
- The filing was made Tuesday, Nov. 3, and the released records do not state a reason for the split or disclose the specific custody terms Jen is seeking.
- Jen and Zac share three children—Nora, Lucas and Penelope—and Jen is publicly reported to be pregnant with their fourth child, a factor likely to shape custody and parenting arrangements.
- The couple’s marital struggles were publicly chronicled on Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, with on-screen conflicts and therapy efforts previously reported during the series run.
- Jen recently moved from Utah to Southern California to film The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, which premieres Nov. 12, creating overlap between her legal filing, pregnancy and upcoming TV debut.
