The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/em><\/a>\u2019 Jessi Draper<\/strong><\/a> has Us<\/em> doing a double take with her latest photo shoot.<\/p>\n

Jessi, 33, teamed up with Vanderpump Villa<\/em><\/a>\u2019s Marciano Brunette<\/strong> for a steamy new shoot, per pictures shared by photographer Rachel Cook<\/strong> via Instagram<\/a> on Thursday, April 9.<\/p>\n

Jessi, of course, admitted to having an emotional affair with Marciano<\/a>, 32, after they met in Italy while Jessi and her costars filmed an episode of Vanderpump Villa<\/em>. At the time, Jessi was still with her estranged husband, Jordan Ngautikaura<\/strong>, who filed for divorce<\/a> from the hairstylist last month.<\/p>\n

In the snaps, the JZ Styles founder can be seen lounging on a picnic blanket in the sun as Marciano hovers above her and feeds her berries. Jessi looked glamorous in gingham-print romper, while Marciano wore a white vest and a baseball cap.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tVanderpump Villa\u2018s Marciano Brunette broke his silence about Jordan Ngatikaura ending his marriage to Jessi Draper. \u201cListen, I know what everyone is thinking. I\u2019ve seen all of the comments,\u201d Marciano, 33, said in an Instagram video on Thursday, March 26, alongside a video of Jessi on the \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d podcast saying she hasn\u2019t been [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Another saucy photo shows Jessi resting her foot on Marciano\u2019s leg while dousing him with a pitcher of lemonade.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore Adam and Eve left the Villa,\u201d photographer Cook captioned the post.<\/p>\n

Marciano responded, \u201cYou crushed these @therachcookie \ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jessi cryptically replied, \u201cUh oh \ud83d\udd25\ud83d\ude1c.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast has had its fair share of overlap when it comes to hookups within the friend group. When the show premiered on Hulu in 2024, viewers were introduced to Jen Affleck and husband Zac Affleck, Demi Engemann and husband Bret Engemann, Whitney Leavitt and husband Conner Leavitt, Mikayla Matthews [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Fans in the comments were naturally curious about the nature of Jessi and Marciano\u2019s relationship given their history and Jessi\u2019s impending divorce.<\/p>\n

\u201cOK, so maybe I\u2019m a little bit lost. Are they together now?\u201d one fan asked. Jessi responded, \u201cAll just for fun \ud83d\ude1c.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jessi and Marciano had tongues wagging earlier this month<\/a> when they were spotted together, per photos published by Reality Blurb<\/a>. Marciano added fuel to the fire on Saturday, April 4, when he shared an Instagram video<\/a> of him and Jessi holding hands. \u201cMessi,\u201d he captioned the video, which appears to be taken from the set of the pair\u2019s steamy photo shoot.<\/p>\n

Jessi\u2019s ex Jordan, 31, filed for divorce from the hairstylist on March 19 after five years of marriage.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jessi Draper shared her truth about her relationship with estranged husband Jordan Ngatikaura \u2014 and what ultimately led to their divorce. \u201cI felt so trapped in that marriage. I couldn\u2019t do anything right. I was so beaten down emotionally, and I was just so deeply unhappy,\u201d Jessi said [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThis has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart,\u201d Jordan told Us Weekly<\/em> in a statement at the time. \u201cI\u2019m grateful for the shared memories and the lessons. While our paths are now moving in different directions, my priority remains my children and ensuring they feel loved, supported, and protected through this transition.\u201d<\/p>\n
