The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Chase McWhorter has poked fun at drama in the MomTalk world caused by his kiss with ex-wife Miranda Hope’s costar Jessi Draper.
Chase, 30, shared a tongue-in-cheek Instagram video on Saturday, March 28, set to ZoHendrix’ song “Seasons,” in which the reality star stares at his own hands as the lyric “I’ve got the magic in me” plays. The Mormon Wives star tagged the video by writing, “IYKYK [if you know, you know].”
His attempt to laugh off the MomTalk controversy didn’t go over well with everyone, as his former flame Layla Taylor replied, “girl shut your mouth.”
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Bronwyn Newport seemingly wasn’t laughing either, as she responded, “Boy, you better stop playing with those girls I love before I bring myself down past point of the mountain.”
Us Weekly exclusively reported on Thursday, March 26, that Chase and Jessi recently kissed at a party. (Jessi is currently going through a contentious divorce from Jordan Ngatikaura.)
“They were having fun at a party and it’s not serious between them,” an insider told Us.
Miranda and Chase were married from 2017 to 2024 and share two children, son Brooks, 6, and daughter Cohen, 4. Chase later briefly dated fellow Mormon Wives star Layla.
In the wake of the latest bombshell, Miranda, 27, revealed that she’d received a bouquet of flowers from Jessi, 33, seemingly as a peace offering.
“I completely understand you being upset with me,” Jessi wrote. “But wanted to send you a little something to let you know I’m thinking about you and I am so so sorry.”
Miranda broke her silence in a statement to Entertainment Tonight on Thursday, clarifying that she was aware that there was “communication between Chase and Jessi but not to what extent.”
“Chase was upfront and told me that they were talking and that they kissed. Jessi reached out only after she knew Chase had told me something was going on with them,” Miranda said.
She added, “What I never want to get misconstrued is that there is not any emotional attachment to Chase. He is my coparent. Although I do feel disrespected by Chase, I feel slighted by my friend. Chase and I are no longer partners and while I have a high expectation of him as a coparent, I also hold my friends to a high standard and believe in girl code.”
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Mikayla Matthews is sharing her reaction to MomTok’s drama-filled week. The stars of the hit Hulu reality show have scarcely been out of the headlines in the past week. To recap: First, there was the alleged domestic violence incident involving Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen that put a […]
Jessi’s estranged husband Jordan, 31, weighed in when Miranda invited fans to “[get ready with me] while I process my friend group being a waiting room for my ex-husband” in a TikTok video.
“Looks like she can’t even be faithful or loyal even in a friendship… too bad,” Jordan replied in a since-deleted comment.
Chase then fired back at Jordan, writing, “Back to LinkedIn u go.”
Amid the total chaos in the MomTalk world, Chase’s sister, Aysia McWhorter, joked that “every day there’s something new” in their friend group.
“[Jessi’s] type is my brother? First question, how has he pulled all of the Mormon Wives?” Aysia teased. “Why are they all in line for him? I love you Chase, but it’s getting a little bit hard to defend you.”
She quipped in a caption, “Utah can’t be this small @chase! What are they feeding you?”
