“In the last two to three years, a lot has happened,” Jen said in the April video, noting that her family has moved five times in one year. “Between Two Kids, a reality TV show, Dancing with the Starsthe movement, the identity, the faith, the hardships of life, I have great hope for this next chapter of my life.”
I Dancing with the Stars alum continued, “There are parts of me where I feel like I’m cool, and then there are parts of me where old patterns have shown a reversal. I was hoping in my weakness that I could heal myself. I’m hoping that in this next chapter of my life I’ll find my faith again … while holding space for who I am at my core and not trying to change that.”
Noting that she got married at 19 and got pregnant a year later, Jen revealed that she didn’t “have time to figure out who Jen is.”
“I’m still trying to figure that out. I really want to be able to show my kids and be the best version of me,” she added.
Jen Affleck spoke directly to Secret Lives of Mormon Wives viewers who called her third pregnancy a “band-aid baby” after her brief split from Zac Affleck. “I know a lot of people call it a band-aid baby. They can call it anything. But finding out where the pregnancy is was the biggest blessing of all,” Jen, 25, said exclusively. […]
Jen and Zac have been open about their marital problems in the past, in season 2 Mormon wives to write about their differences briefly.
“[We went through] many treatments. When I say a lot of treatment, I mean eight hours a week,” he said Us Weekly in May 2025 before the start of season 2. “We really did it all.”
Jen continued, “We wouldn’t have been able to get through season 2 — honestly season 1 or season 2 — without therapy. And filming is not comfortable for Zac. I think it’s very difficult for him to be vulnerable. So he was the one who was really trying to break that down during season 2. Even though there are a lot of difficult conversations that we need to get through on camera.”
