Jen Affleck, star of "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," has released videos from her marriage to Zac, her ex-husband, that appear to contradict his claims of an amicable divorce. The videos, shared on TikTok, depict Zac making verbally critical remarks towards Jen.
Following the public announcement of their separation, Zac had posted a statement on social media portraying himself as Jen's "biggest supporter" and emphasizing a focus on co-parenting. However, Jen's released clips offer a different perspective on their marital dynamic.
One video shows Zac commenting on Jen's appearance, telling her, "I hope you're not making a TikTok looking like that. Your tits are sagging all over. You don't want to post that baby I'll tell you that right now." Jen questioned if she was embarrassing herself, to which Zac responded, "A little bit, I would hope you wouldn't want to post that." Jen later captioned the clip, "He was never my biggest supporter."
Zac addressed the video, stating it was from 2022 and acknowledging that he "said a lot of horrible and hurtful things" but has since tried to "learn and grow." He further explained that the comment was made in 2022 and that he had made "a lot of mistakes."
Another video shared by Jen shows an argument about a discarded towel, with Jen expressing frustration about doing all the laundry and wishing for more help. "I've been doing all your laundry forever... if I got a little bit more help that would be nice, maybe we'd have some towels..." she said.
These revelations followed Zac's own video statement where he discussed the divorce, noting that Jen had informed him about her unhappiness about a year prior, after "Dancing With The Stars." He stated that he had "begged her to stay" and promised to "work on things and fix things," but they ultimately could not make the marriage work. He also mentioned learning about the divorce filing from a TMZ reporter, although he claimed they had been discussing it for a while.
Jen, 27, who is pregnant with their fourth child, filed for divorce after seven years of marriage. The court documents indicate that both parties must attend divorce orientation and parenting classes. The couple met on Mutual, a dating app for Mormon singles, in 2018 and married in June 2019. They have three other children: Nora, Lucas, and Penelope. Jen is set to appear in the Hulu spinoff "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County."
