Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleThe Secret Life of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck left fans surprised when she made the tough call to end her marriage to Zac Affleck. She reportedly filed for divorce on November 3, 2026, in Utah. She also submitted a proposed parenting plan, the details of which have not been made public.
Days after filing for divorce, Jen posted throwback clips featuring Zac where he could be seen criticizing her housework and postpartum body. While Zac faced tremendous backlash after she released the videos, Jen is now confessing that she was just being petty.
Jen Affleck opens up about the videos of her estranged husband, Zac Affleck, criticizing her body
On November 5, 2026, Jen Affleck posted two throwback clips that showed some rather unsavory moments from her seven-year marriage to Zac Affleck. The first video shared by Jen showed her right after she had given birth. Over the clip, the Mormon Wives star wrote, “POV: your [sic] two weeks postpartum trying to be an influencer.”
At one point, Zac told Jen that he doesn't think she would want to post the video. While seemingly criticizing her postpartum body, he added:
“I hope you're not making a TikTok looking like that…Your boobs are literally like…Your tits are sagging all over. You don't want to post that, baby, I can tell you that right now.”
With the video, Jen Affleck wanted to show her fans how her husband was behind-the-scenes. She also wanted to discredit Zac’s claim that he was her biggest fan and supporter.
In the second clip that Jen Affleck posted, Zac could be seen visibly frustrated after the reality star pointed out that she has always been the one who had done their family’s laundry when he asked if there were any clean towels. Zac received a lot of flak on social media, with fans calling out his behavior towards his wife.
Days after the videos were posted, Jen Affleck addressed them for the first time when she attended a taping of Dancing with the Stars on November 10, 2026. In a behind-the-scenes TikTok livestream hosted by Ezra Sosa and Hailey Bills, the former asked Jen, “Let's talk about your social media engagement – are we going to get more posts like that this week?”
To this, Jen urged them not to talk about her TikTok videos. While laughing, she confessed that she was being a bit petty when she posted them. In her words:
“Let’s not talk about my TikTok videos. I was being a little petty, I’m not going to lie. I’m going through some things.”
Zac Affleck apologized to Jen for the ‘horrible’ things he told her in the videos
Owing to the massive backlash, Zac Affleck was forced to address the clips in a TikTok comment on November 5, 2026. He admitted that whatever he told Jen was “absolutely horrible and should have never been said.” He claimed that when he saw the videos, he was absolutely shocked that he said that, adding that the clips were taken in 2022. According to Zac, he has said a lot of hurtful things in their marriage but has tried his best to learn and grow from them.
A day later, on November 6, 2026, Zac Affleck issued a longer apology to his estranged wife. Addressing Jen, he said that looking back at the clips hurt a lot. He said that he was sorry for the way he spoke to her and for dimming her light. He claimed that he was young and immature back then. He explained:
“I’m sorry I couldn’t make the changes I needed to. And I’m sorry I let things get to this point. I can’t change the past, but I can promise to keep working on myself and do everything I can to be the best father, co-parent, and friend moving forward.”
