After a season two cliffhanger, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is back and ready to answer the question they left us with: Did Jessi cheat on Jordan with Marciano?
In the season opener, Jessi Ngatikaura confirms that she had an emotional affair with Marciano Brunette after making out with him during a night out in Los Angeles during a separation from her husband.

“I’ve been hiding the secret of my affair for a while,” Jessi tells the camera in the opening episode of the season after Layla confronts her about the rumor. “It’s the biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my whole life.”
“I kissed him twice. We did have an emotional affair, if that’s what you want to call it, but on my end, I was just looking for validation,” she adds. “We decided to keep the affair private because we’re gonna stay together.”
Jessi says that she told her husband, Jordan, about the affair six months ago. “As soon as I told Jordan, I cut it off [with Marciano] immediately,” she says.
Jessi insists that she never had sex with the Vanderpump Villa star, despite his claim that they did. Layla and Jessi decide to call Marciano to confront him about his claim and he backtracks, explaining that he woke up with stains on his shorts and assumed they had sex.
“We did not have sex. That didn’t happen,” Jessi insists.
Later in the season, Marciano confirms to Mikayla Matthews and Mayci Neely that he did not have sex with Jessi but says they spent the night together in a hotel room.
Jessi and Marciano’s affair allegations first surfaced on TikTok after a fan claimed they saw them making out at a bar in West Hollywood. Jessi initially denied the allegation, saying, “If I were dumb enough to do that, I wouldn’t do it in public.”
Jessi and some of the other MomTok members appeared on the third episode of Vanderpump Villa season 3, where they met Marciano, who initially seemed more drawn to Demi Engemann.
However, in the season finale, when Marciano was confronted about his ties to Demi and Jessi by Mormon Wives star Layla Taylor, he ended up alleging that he had a fling with Jessi. Layla asks if he “made out” with Jessi, and he responds, “more than that.”
When Layla asked Marciano if he’d had sex with Jessi, he nodded.
“We have tried meeting up [to continue the affair],” he alleged. “Jordan doesn’t know the truth about how extensive it was. It was not just a one-time hookup thing. It was not some one-night stand.”
