Overview
- Jen Affleck has filed for divorce in Provo, Utah, while pregnant with the couple’s fourth child and her court papers reportedly include a proposed parenting plan.
- She told Entertainment Tonight that she timed the filing to avoid entering the postpartum period while still in the marriage and that rewatching The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives helped her recognize patterns she had been ignoring.
- Zac Affleck posted a public apology on TikTok saying he “messed up,” apologizing for his words and behavior and expressing a desire to work on himself and co-parent their children.
- Multiple outlets report unnamed production insiders who described Zac’s conduct on Dancing With the Stars as controlling and disruptive to cast and crew, a claim the coverage frames as limited and not independently verified.
- The couple’s public statements and the Provo filing are the latest developments to watch before The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County premieres on November 12 and as the legal process will determine custody and co‑parenting arrangements.
