Jen Affleck, star of Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, has filed for divorce from her husband Zac Affleck after seven years of marriage — while pregnant with their fourth child. According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the 27-year-old filed the petition on Tuesday, 3 November 2026, at the Fourth Judicial District Court in Provo, Utah.
A filing, not yet a final divorce
The filing was first reported by PEOPLE and confirmed by TMZ, according to Just Jared and Parade. Jen also submitted a proposed parenting plan for the couple’s three children, but its details have not been made public. The court records do not list a reason for the divorce, and neither Jen nor Zac had publicly commented at the time the reports went live. The petition marks the start of a legal process, not the end of the marriage in legal terms.
Seven years, three children, a fourth on the way
Jen and Zac met on the dating app Mutual in 2018 and married the following year. They share daughters Nora, five, and Penelope, 16 months, and son Luca, three. Jen announced her fourth pregnancy on Instagram in June 2026, writing simply “Chapter Four” beside photos showing her baby bump. According to The Tab, a source told PEOPLE on 4 November that Zac “is doing okay” and that the pair are “staying focused on preparing for the baby and supporting their kids.”
A storyline viewers have watched unfold
The couple’s marital struggles have played out on screen across the Hulu series, including a separation in 2025 followed by an apparent reconciliation. In August 2026, Jen told PEOPLE she was seeing “the light at the end of the tunnel.” The new series of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is scheduled to premiere on 12 November 2026.
