Overview

• On the May 28 episode of The Viall Files podcast, Jen and Zac Affleck reflected on their time filming Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and the toll it took on their marriage.
• The couple say reality TV editing portrayed Zac as having a gambling problem and financial hardship—claims he denies, noting misconceptions around his supposed medical school tuition.
• Following a brief separation between seasons, the Afflecks have turned to both traditional counseling and unconventional methods—such as ketamine therapy, THC gummies and spiritual healing—to rebuild their relationship.
• They met in 2018 via the Mormon dating app Mutual after Zac returned from a mission in the Dominican Republic and married in 2019 after a 10-month courtship.
• Sharing two children and now expecting a third, the couple say the new pregnancy surprised Zac and has underscored the growth they’ve achieved together.
