The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Jessi Ngatikaura and Jordan Ngatikaura are getting a fresh start.
Jessi, 33, took to Instagram on Saturday, December 6, to document her and Jordan, 30, getting settled in their new house. “First day in our new home and feeling so blessed, she wrote.. The twosome listed their Salt Lake City home for $2.499 million last month, on the same day that season 3 of the Hulu hit dropped. News of the sale sparked speculation about their status, which their real estate agents joked about on Saturday.
“From headlines to SOLD in 96 hours. Someone just paid full price to own the most infamous address in Utah,” read the caption to their Instagram post. “The real secret? We got it done in 4 days flat.”
All eyes have been on Jessi and Jordan since she admitted to having an affair with Vanderpump Villa star Marciano Brunette.

“I wouldn’t say I was in love with him. It only lasted about two weeks so it was quick. But I will say I confided in him a lot,” Jessi exclusively told Us Weekly at the time “The dynamic with [my husband] Jordan that I had had in my marriage, I hadn’t really talked to anyone about it. My family and friends had been aware because they’d seen things but I tried to be like, ‘Everything’s fine.’”
Jessi recalled telling Marciano, 31, about the emotional abuse she was facing from Jordan.
“I did feel a connection to him in that sense because he was there for me and he made me feel special,” she said. “Jordan would put me down a lot. Marciano told me how pretty and cool and fun I was. I felt like there was a connection there because he was giving me something I was lacking. But I wouldn’t say I was in love with him.”
After a two-week emotional affair, Jordan found out about Jessi and Marciano.
“Jordan found out when he went through my phone and put an end to it. But it was a blessing in disguise because it needed to end,” she told Us. “I did not want to carry this on for months or years. I didn’t know how to get out of it.”
Jessi admitted that she previously considered filing for divorce from Jordan before they decided to give their marriage another chance. Jordan, for his part, broke his silence about the drama when he spoke about their plans to start fresh.

“My plan is just to focus on my family. All these people online can chirp all day. There’s going to be people that hate me and there’s gonna be people that hate her,” Jordan said on an episode of “The Viall Files” podcast last month. “There’s going to be a really big broad spectrum of what people think about what they’ve been able to see. “I think the best thing that I can do in that instead of being pissed off, it’s to remember that that’s in the past. What we’re doing now is what matters and turning into one another and not away from one another.”
Jordan didn’t rule out the idea of a divorce after previously saying it was off the table.
“I just remember one of the things that I promised [Jessi’ dad in the past] was that divorce was not an option for me. I don’t want to do this with that ever even being an option. This is it,” he added. “[But] I told Jessi that if it ever gets like that again [with our marriage], I don’t want anything to do with this relationship either.”
