The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Miranda Hope is giving fans a glimpse of her romance with Kaleb Winterburn.
Miranda, 28, took to Instagram on Sunday, August 23, to share a series of photos from her summer, including one image of her and Kaleb embracing as they swam in a body of water. Kaleb reposted the pic to his Instagram Story on Sunday.
In another image, Miranda and Kaleb appeared to share a kiss on a boat. “A little this, a little that 🫶🏼,” Miranda captioned the upload.
Kaleb, for his part, has shared several TikToks with Miranda in the past month. In one clip, Kaleb was filmed jet-skiing as Miranda climbed onto his shoulders. “@Miranda Hope channeling her inner Koala,” he captioned the video.
Miranda was previously in a relationship with Chase McWhorter, whom she wed in 2017. The pair went on to welcome son Brooks and daughter Cohen in 2019 and 2021, respectively. Miranda and Chase announced their divorce in 2024.
Earlier this year, DeuxMoi broke the news that Miranda’s Mormon Wives costar Jessi Draper was spotted getting cozy and kissing Chase at a party.
That same day, an insider confirmed to Us, “They were having fun at a party, and it’s not serious between them.” Miranda later spoke out on the situation, revealing in a statement to Entertainment Tonight that she “knew there had been communication between Chase and Jessi but not to what extent.”
“Chase was upfront and told me that they were talking and that they kissed. Jessi reached out only after she knew Chase had told me something was going on with them,” she said, claiming Jessi sent her “apology flowers” at the same time “a rumor started spreading online that something was going on with Chase and Jessi.”
“What I never want to get misconstrued is that there is not any emotional attachment to Chase,” Miranda continued. “He is my coparent. Although I do feel disrespected by Chase, I feel slighted by my friend. Chase and I are no longer partners and while I have a high expectation of him as a coparent, I also hold my friends to a high standard and believe in girl code.”
Us reached out to Jessi and Chase’s reps for comment at the time. In April, Chase shared on an episode of the “Boyfriend Material” podcast that he and Jessi “just kissed.” Jessi, who had recently split from husband Jordan Ngatikaura, reflected on the moment in May.
“It was awful. I mean, it wasn’t an awful kiss, that sounded bad, but it was just an awful situation,” Jessi said on an episode of Hulu’s “Get Real” podcast, noting the kiss happened “one time” at a party. “The thing with Chase is we had a connection, and I was in a vulnerable state and he was really there for me after [my] divorce.”
She continued, “Honestly, it was kind of like MomTok was falling apart during that time. This was right when all the news was breaking, and none of the girls were really talking. I was leaning on him, which was the wrong idea. I had just left Jordan and my emotions were so heightened. We were drunk.”
As for where she stands with Miranda after the incident, Jessi said, “I screwed that up, and I’m Team Miranda, I just have to say. We haven’t talked about [the kiss] really.”
