Jen Affleck revealed moving to California caused more issues in her marriage with Zac Affleck
In season five of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, which was streamed on November 12, 2026, Jen talked about her marital issues. She stated that she had struggled with whether she should continue her marriage or not. The decision was even more complicated as she found out about her fourth pregnancy.
Jen confessed that she thought moving to California would be a chance for her and Zac's marriage to have a fresh start. But to her surprise, it caused more issues. She revealed that, when it comes to pregnancy, a person should feel excitement and anticipation, but she had no such thoughts.
Jen added that she was frustrated to be in the same position for the second time. Jen added that earlier she thought of ending the marriage when she was pregnant with her third child, Penelope. However, after her birth, she thought of giving the marriage a second chance, but she has made up her mind to end the marriage finally.
For those who don't know, on November 3, 2026, Jen filed for divorce from her husband, Zac, after seven years of marriage. The couple is blessed with two daughters and one son. The couple's marriage hitting a rough patch was noticed during the first season of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which aired in 2024.
People saw Jen and Zac fight over gambling and his decision to attend a Chippendales show in Las Vegas; it showed that their marriage wasn't a healthy one. In the second season, the two tried working on their marriage as they were preparing for their third child. And their issues escalated when Jen decided to pursue other career opportunities by taking part in Dancing With The Stars.
In August 2026, before filing for divorce, Jen revealed that she and her husband were spending time working on their relationship as she was navigating prenatal depression and medical issues during her first trimester. She even credited him that she wouldn't have survived without him.
A source said Zac's controlling side showed when she took part in Dancing With the Stars in 2025. She was paired with pro dancer Jan Ravnik. However, the source added that Jen was a professional who handled the situation, but Zac still controlled her more than any other partner that season.
Every crew member had a difficult experience with him, as he was constantly upset about something or another. Zac even influenced what Jen should perform or wear during the show. His objections went beyond choreography. The source added that Zac's interference affected her performance on the show, and she also had a stressful situation with her husband. The source was quoted as saying:
"He asserted his dominance and tried to dictate certain dance moves that were off limits for Jen. And he said there were certain costuming things she couldn't wear."
