Jessi and Jordan Ngatikaura‘s marriage issues are finally getting addressed — with some help from Marciano Brunette — on season 3 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Hulu released the official trailer on Wednesday, October 22, which picked up after Marciano, 32, told Layla Taylor that he allegedly had an affair with Jessi, 33. In the sneak peek, Layla tells Jessi that Marciano is claiming they “had sex,” which leaves her shocked.
Jordan, meanwhile, says he hopes he won’t run into Marciano or else he will “deck him in the face.” Jessi seems certain that former friend Demi Engemann is to blame for the rumor, with other members of MomTok referring to Demi, 31, as “so disgusting and calculated.”
“I honestly think Demi will stop at nothing to ruin my reputation,” Jessi adds in the first look before the pair sit down for a tense talk.
Everything to Know About ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Season 3
Jessi’s relationship isn’t the only one facing issues. Mikayla Matthews tells the camera she has been thinking a lot about her marriage, sharing, “We have been struggling behind closed doors.”
Speaking of the DadTok crew, Jen Affleck‘s husband, Zac Affleck, also seems to be struggling.
“We are fighting for our families and the girls are putting us through hell,” he tells the rest of the husbands.
Ahead of season 3, which premieres in November, Demi was accused of getting too close to Marciano while filming Vanderpump Villa. Demi denied being unfaithful to husband Bret Engemann, and Marciano ultimately made separate claims about his relationship with Jessi.
Jessi previously acknowledged that she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring.
“Every relationship has ups and downs. But when you’re on reality TV, it puts a microscope on it and everyone sees everything and has opinions. It’s hard not to have it affect your friendships, your relationships and your family life,” Jessi exclusively told Us Weekly in June. “That was definitely hard.”
She continued: “Now that we’re done filming for a little while, I’m just going to focus on my family, my kids and get back on track with all of that. Then hopefully, I will be in a better head space for the next time we film — if we do.”

At the time, Jessi admitted it wasn’t easy to discuss her marriage issues publicly.
“It was definitely something that was hard. I always say Taylor [Frankie Paul]‘s been so vulnerable with the audience, with her relationship and her life. I think you’re going to see a lot more of that from me next season. Luckily, I had her to look to as a guide for that,” she continued. “It was definitely probably the hardest time of my life filming the next season. I do think it’s going to help a lot of people. I’m excited to share my story and help with what some women go through. I do think that it’s going to be a good thing — as hard as it is.”
Despite both her and Jordan making “mistakes” in the past, Jessi seemed hopeful for the future.
“We’re back working on things. Every day is different,” she shared. “Marriage is hard. We still have ups and downs — and you will see a lot of that unfold in season 3. I do think that overall it’s going to be inspiring to people. I hope that a lot of people can relate.”
Season 3 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives starts streaming on Hulu November 13.
