The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Demi Engemann and husband Bret are feeling a little fruity!
The reality television stars poked fun at the recent social media furor created by costar Jessi Ngatikaura earlier this week when the hairstylist revealed the meaning behind the couple’s “fruity pebbles” sex story from season 1.
In a new social media video posted on Instagram and TikTok on Wednesday, November 26, Demi, 30, and Bret, 47, appeared to flick through a mock magazine exposing the couple’s sex secret.
Demi created a front cover featuring an image of Jessi, 33, and the words, “Breaking news” and “Jessi exposes what ‘fruity pebbles’ means.”

In the clip, Demi shows the magazine to her husband and mouths, “Did you see this?” as Bret, who is sipping a dubiously-colored drink, mouths back, “Yup.” Demi then shrugs and dives into a bowl of Fruity Pebbles cereal.
“Petitioning to change the title to Secret Lives of Kinky Wives 👀🥣 stay tuned…,” Demi captioned her Instagram post.
On Tuesday, November 25, Jessi put Demi and Bret’s love life on blast when she revealed in an Instagram Stories video the secret behind the “fruity pebbles” mystery from Mormon Wives season 1. (During the inaugural season, Whitney Leavitt pulled a prank on Demi by presenting her with a box filled with Fruity Pebbles. It was then explained that Demi and Bret engaged in a sexual experience related in some way to the cereal, though they didn’t share more details.)
“Since she wants to be petty and be an asshole, I think I am just going to go ahead and say that grandpa Bret likes to drink her piss like it is dirty soda,” Jessi alleged in her Instagram video. “He gulps it down like water. And that is what fruity pebbles means.”

Later on Tuesday, Demi issued a statement addressing Jessi’s claims via her own Instagram Stories.
“What my husband and I did one time behind closed doors was a consensual and private experience in our marriage,” Demi wrote. “I won’t let a private act between my husband and I be a distraction from a serious act that I did not consent to.”
“It’s very telling that she’s choosing to break story line and bring it up now, only after her own affair has come to light,” Demi continued. “This is nothing more than a desperate attempt to shift attention away from her own behavior.”
Demi continued to have fun with the cereal-themed innuendo on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, sharing a picture of her husband at the grocery store with a shopping cart filled with boxes of Fruity Pebbles.

“Just getting the Thanksgiving essentials,” she wrote over the picture.
Over on TikTok, Demi defended her use of humor to address the situation, despite calling the sexual encounter a “private act” in her earlier statement.
“‘Something private between me and my husband,’” one person commented on her TikTok, referring to her statement. Demi responded, “You act like I’m the one that leaked it 😂 nothing left to do but own it.”
Another person asked, “Grandpa bret, are we really doing this again? I know it is not that good, damn,” referring to the sex act, to which Demi responded, “One and done 🤣 I think…👀”
Former friends Demi and Jessi’s friendship exploded during season 2 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and only turned more vicious in the third season, which premiered on November 13. The pair have been going back-and-forth on social media since the latest episodes dropped.
Hulu recently announced that Mormon Wives has been renewed for a fourth season, consisting of 20 episodes.
