Key Points Jessi Draper’s husband Jordan Ngatikaura “beelined” to court and filed for divorce after five years of marriage. The filing came on the same day ABC cancelled Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette. Jordan gave a statement to TMZ saying the decision was not “easy.” There’s a lot going on with The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast at the moment. Just hours after news broke that ABC had cancelled Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette (which was scheduled to premiere on Sunday, March 22), TMZ reported that Jessi Draper’s husband, Jordan Ngatikaura, had filed for divorce. Apparently Jordan “beelined it to a Utah court Thursday and filed for divorce after 5 years of marriage.” He also went ahead and gave a statement to TMZ, saying “This has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart. I’m 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. I 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.” Rodin Eckenroth // Getty Images Jessi spoke about her relationship with Jordan to Cosmopolitan ahead of Mormon Wives Season 4, saying they were “in a lot of therapy” and were “taking it day by day.” As a reminder, Jessi was pondering a split from Jordan last season, and had a lot of concerns about their prenup potentially being void due to not having a witness signature. Jessi told Cosmo that ultimately she “let go of the prenup conversation, because I want to make the decision for me and my happiness, rather than for money. I still will look into that in the future if I need to. But I felt like I was basing the decision [about whether or not to get divorced] off of that. And I didn’t want to do that.”
