Jen Affleck‘s family life has been front and center ever since she joined the cast of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — and the Hulu star’s household is about to grow once again.

Us confirmed the reality TV personality filed for divorce from husband Zac Affleck in November 2026 in Utah, just months after announcing her pregnancy with the couple’s fourth baby. Jen and Zac initially met on Mormon dating app Mutual in 2018 and got married the following year.

Here’s a guide to Jen’s growing family:

Zac Affleck

Zac married Jen in 2019 at a local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints temple after proposing at Top of the Rock in New York City. Their marriage played out publicly across multiple seasons of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, including a brief separation documented in season 2.

“We wouldn’t have been able to get through season 2 — honestly season 1 or season 2 — without therapy,” Jen told Us in May 2025. “Filming definitely isn’t a comfortable thing for Zac. I think it’s definitely harder for him to be vulnerable.”

The pair moved from Utah to the Los Angeles area in fall 2025 while Jen competed on season 34 of Dancing With the Stars. They stayed in California after her elimination.

Zac has since documented life as a stay-at-home dad on social media. One day before Jen’s divorce filing, he posted a TikTok from the beach with their youngest, captioning it, “Raising kids by the beach >> #sunset #ocean.”

Nora Affleck

Nora is the estranged couple’s eldest child. She was born in November 2021, when Jen and Zac were still in the early years of their marriage.

“Nora brings so much joy and light into our lives, and I feel incredibly blessed to be her mom 🥺,” Jen wrote via Instagram around Nora’s 3rd birthday. “There are countless things that I adore about her—she’s spunky, kind, and full of life. … To us, she truly is everything.”

Luca Affleck

Jen and Zac welcomed baby No. 2, son Luca, in July 2023.

“We had one and then a second baby back to back. Jen — like, six months after she gave birth — she got pregnant again with her second baby,” Zac said on “The Viall Files” in May 2025, claiming, “I got tricked into it. She took out her IUD without telling me.”

Jen laughed off the revelation and added, “Whoopsies, I forgot to tell you [I took my IUD out].”

Daughter Penelope — nicknamed Penny — was born in late June 2025, days after Jen and Zac’s wedding anniversary.

“She is perfect,” Jen wrote via Instagram in July 2025. “Going unmedicated was truly the most painful but empowering experience of my life. I could not have done it without Zac and my supportive doula! I’m so grateful and so happy that Penny is earth side now.”

Jen and Zac Affleck’s 4th Baby

In June 2026, Jen announced she was expecting baby No. 4, sharing a photo cradling her bump via Instagram with the caption, “Chapter Four. 🤍.”

Her pregnancy has not been easy, with Jen revealing the next month that she was experiencing prenatal depression for the second time.

“Prenatal depression came back this pregnancy. Only this time, it came back even heavier,” she wrote via Instagram. “There were many days during my first trimester where my mind went to some really dark places. It scared me.”

Jen also acknowledged the difficulty of making a cross-country move, noting, “Add moving to a new state, being pregnant, and trying to show up for your kids, and some days felt impossible,” she wrote, noting how friends, family and strangers helped carry her through the hardest moments.
