Marciano Brunette made his love for Jessi Draper permanent.
Marciano, 33, took to TikTok on Tuesday, August 4, to debut a new tattoo dedicated to the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, 34. In the video, Jessi walked into a room with her hands covering her eyes. “I’m so scared. Does it even have anything to do with me?” she asked, as Marciano got the finishing touches on the artwork.
The Vanderpump Villa star then revealed his ink, to which Jessi replied, “Are you kidding?!”
“I think it looks nice!” he said, showing the camera the tattoo, which featured a “J” and a heart. “It’s the ‘J’ from ‘JZ Styles,’” Marciano explained of the font he chose, linking it to her hair salon in Utah. “It’s perfect.”
Jessi — who fell to the floor in disbelief — stood up and gave her man a barrage of kisses.
“It’s too late now,” Marciano laughed. “I can’t go back.”
“Auditioning for the role of boyfriend…branded 🙊❤️ @Jessi Draper,” Marciano captioned the post, which Jessi reposted via her TikTok.

“I’m still in shock 😂❤️,” Jessi wrote in the comments section, to which Marciano replied, “Get used to it 😂.”
Fans also shared their mixed reactions in the comments. “‘It’s the j from jz’ okay wrap it up, when’s the wedding,” one social media user wrote, while another added, “I love them 🥹.” A third commented, “Are you sure he’s not auditioning for husband material? I’m so loving this relationship!”
Others thought him getting the ink was too soon in the relationship. One wrote, “Close enough, welcome back Jax [Taylor],” referring to an episode of Vanderpump Rules when Jax, 47, debuted a tattoo in honor of his now-ex Stassi Schroeder. A second commented, “Never a good idea to do this…” while a third added, “Insane.”
Jessi and Marciano have been candid about the status of their relationship throughout her ongoing divorce from estranged husband Jordan Ngatikaura. In May, Jessi clarified that she’s single after walking the red carpet with Marciano at the American Music Awards.
“I’m single, going through a divorce, and dating around, having fun,” she dished to E! News. “I have Marciano here tonight, but I’m just casually dating and living life.”
Marciano, for his part, appears to be falling hard for Jessi. In June, he opened up about his dynamic with the reality star during an episode of Hulu’s “Get Real” podcast. “I would say that currently we are dating, but we are not exclusive,” he shared. “Hence the point of you asking a girl to be your girlfriend. I have not done that.”
He added, “I told her that’s 100 percent OK [if she went out and hooked up with someone else]. Am I going to be happy about it? No, I am not. But I am not going to tell her what to do until she’s ready to actually get into another relationship. Then we can have that conversation.”
