The drama is at an all-time high on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — but which members of MomTok are, and aren’t, appearing in season 4?
Hulu’s series, which premiered in September 2024, introduced Us to a group of Mormon mom influencers in Utah. Season 1 followed Jen Affleck, Demi Engemann, Whitney Leavitt, Mikayla Matthews, Mayci Neeley, Jessi Ngatikaura, Taylor Frankie Paul and Layla Taylor, with Miranda McWhorter rounding out the cast in season 2.
After a crossover with Lisa Vanderpump‘s Vanderpump Villa, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives weathered several affair scandals — with Marciano Brunette at the center of all of them. He initially claimed to have grown close to Demi — who is married — only to come on the show at the end of season 2 alleging he had an affair with Jessi — who is also married.
Jessi confirmed she was unfaithful with Marciano while Demi denied any romantic relationship with him. Demi later accused Marciano of sexual misconduct, which led to him to sue her for defamation.
While Jessi broke things off with Marciano, she sided with him in his feud with Demi. Jessi went on to share intimate details about Demi and husband Bret Engemann‘s sex life a.k.a the Fruity Pebbles of it all before the show returned for season 4.
There’s also Taylor’s personal life, whose off-and-on romance with ex Dakota Mortensen has been explored on the show. They appeared to call it quits for good after Dakota was accused of sexting Taylor’s family friend in season 3.
As viewers await news of Mormon Wives season 4 — which has already been ordered at Hulu — keep scrolling to see which MomTok members have confirmed they are returning — and which haven’t:
Jen Affleck
While Jen’s journey is expected to be featured in season 4, she has moved to Los Angeles since her time on Dancing With the Stars. There have been rumors of a spinoff set outside of Utah but nothing has been confirmed about the cast relocations.
Whitney Leavitt
Speaking of relocations, Leavitt moved to Los Angeles for DWTS before heading to New York for her run in Broadway’s Chicago. Her future on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives hasn’t been confirmed after her friendship with Demi resulted in several falling outs with her costars.
Demi Engemann
Demi called her future on the show “a big decision” that she didn’t take “lightly,” telling People, “I have had wonderful experiences doing the show. I’ve had moments that I didn’t appreciate and where it felt like it maybe wasn’t a good fit for me, but it’s definitely something that I’m considering. I’m weighing out all the options and I probably just need to take a little bit more time to really think about what’s best for me moving forward.”
Demi shut down rumors she wasn’t invited back.
“It’s been extended to me that the door is wide open and that I’m welcome back,” she continued. “I’m just hoping that we can continue the momentum and find the things that feel like a good fit for us long-term and find our place in this crazy entertainment world. It’s a wild world to navigate, but it’s also so fun and so many fun opportunities that have come from it.”
Mikayla Matthews
After welcoming her fourth baby with husband Jace Terry, Mikayla is presumed to return for future seasons.
Mayci Neeley
The same goes for Mayci, who welcomed baby No. 3 with husband Jacob Neeley, before production on season 4.
Jessi Ngatikaura
Season 3 ended with Jessi and Jordan Ngatikaura giving their marriage another chance. They will continue to face challenges — including Jordan and Marciano’s run-in on season 3 of Vanderpump Villa — which will be addressed on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Taylor Frankie Paul
While Taylor is returning to the show, it remains to be seen how prominent her arc will be as she balanced filming The Bachelorette at the same time.
Layla Taylor
Layla will presumably return for more seasons of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives as she continues dating Mason McWhorter.
Miranda McWhorter
Miranda, meanwhile, will be featured in the show again after her ex Chase McWhorter seemingly went on a date with Taylor at the end of season 3.
