\u201cI\u2019m single, going through a divorce, and dating around, having fun,\u201d Jessi, 34, told E! News<\/em><\/a> at the AMAs on Monday, May 25.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jessi Draper is single and so ready to mingle, just ask Vanderpump Villa\u2019s Marciano Brunette. \u201cHe\u2019s one on the roster,\u201d Jessi, 33, told Entertainment Tonight on Thursday, April 23, after she was spotted kissing Marciano, 33, at Hulu\u2019s Get Real House event that afternoon. \u201cYou know, one of [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI guess it\u2019s a little heightened because of the show,\u201d Jessi said. \u201cBut I feel like it\u2019s just part of the job. It\u2019s a side effect of it, right? So you just have to take everything with a grain of salt, and we knew it would be heightened at the beginning, and now people are getting used to seeing us together. We\u2019re just having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vanderpump Villa<\/em> star Marciano added, \u201cI think the main thing for us was that we had an open line of communication. We were honest with each other and we didn\u2019t want to hold anything back so we could move past it and get forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jessi also opened up about her ongoing divorce<\/a> from husband Jordan Ngatikaura<\/strong><\/a>, with whom she shares son Jagger, 6, and daughter Jovi, 3. (Jordan also has a daughter, Peyton, 13, from a previous relationship.)<\/p>\n

\u201cI have good and bad days. He knows there\u2019s days that I\u2019m, like, bawling, can\u2019t get out of bed,\u201d she said, referring to Marciano, 33. \u201cThere\u2019s days that I can be here and do this, but I just know the first year is going to be the hardest.\u201d<\/p>\n

News broke in March that Jordan filed for divorce from Jessi after five years of marriage.<\/p>\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

He continued, \u201cI am committed to handling this next chapter with kindness and respect. I kindly ask for privacy and understanding as we navigate this as a family.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an interview on the \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d podcast<\/a> in late March, Jessi said she was the one who ended her marriage to Jordan, telling him it was over six days before he filed for divorce.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jessi Ngatikaura revealed husband Jordan Ngatikaura blackmailed her over her affair \u2014 which came as a surprise to Marciano Brunette. \u201cIt\u2019s not something I was aware of,\u201d Marciano, 32, exclusively told Us Weekly about the revelation Jessi made. \u201cIt was news to me.\u201d Marciano also clarified his recent [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI did end it with him, so I knew it was coming, but we had made an agreement to do it together, and he blindsided me and filed because he wanted the headline first,\u201d she claimed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe agreed to tell our children together before filing, and we haven\u2019t done that,\u201d she said at the time, calling Jordan\u2019s filing \u201ca betrayal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jessi and Jordan\u2019s marriage troubles were documented on the first four seasons of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/em>, including Jessi admitting to having an emotional affair with Marciano<\/a> after filming Vanderpump Villa<\/em>.<\/p>\n
