The Season 2 Reunion of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (SLOMW) was arguably the most explosive and revealing special in the show’s history, airing on Hulu on July 1, 2025. After a chaotic and drama-filled second season, the highly-anticipated 100-minute reunion brought the entire cast—minus one notable absence—to confront shocking allegations, secret audio recordings, and the fallout from the season’s most devastating betrayals. This deep dive covers every bombshell moment, the status of the cast, and the confirmed future of the controversial reality docuseries.
The reunion, hosted by the ever-probing Nick Viall, served as a necessary clearinghouse for the "spicy" rumors that defined the season. From the status of Taylor Frankie Paul's tumultuous love life to the jaw-dropping infidelity accusations leveled against multiple wives, the special confirmed that the lives of these Utah-based MomTok influencers are anything but traditional or predictable. The drama didn't just end with Season 2; it set the stage for an even more chaotic Season 3 and beyond, which Hulu has already confirmed.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2 Cast & Reunion Attendance
The core group of "wives" and "MomTok" influencers returned for the reunion, ready to hash out the season's controversies. However, the seating arrangement was notably missing one key figure, which became a major plot point itself. The cast who attended included:
- Taylor Frankie Paul: The undisputed central figure, whose relationship status and legal issues dominated the season.
- Whitney Leavitt: Known for her upbeat personality and navigating her own family's struggles under the public eye.
- Mayci Neeley: Who continued to share her journey through marriage and MomTok life.
- Mikayla Matthews: Who, alongside her husband Jace Matthews, shared intimate details of their marriage struggles.
- Jessi Ngatikaura: Whose marriage and friendship with Demi were placed under intense scrutiny.
- Jen Affleck: Who made a brief appearance despite having stopped filming halfway through Season 2 due to personal struggles.
- Layla Taylor: Who confronted a former associate about new allegations.
The Absence of Demi Engemann: One of the most significant talking points of the reunion was the no-show of Demi Engemann. Her absence, which frustrated cast members like Jessi Ngatikaura, was reportedly due to a desire to avoid confronting the serious infidelity allegations leveled against her and her husband, as well as the fallout from a rumored conflict with production over a contract dispute. Her decision not to face the music only amplified the drama surrounding her all season.
7 Shocking Revelations and Bombshell Moments from the Reunion
Host Nick Viall did not hold back, forcing the cast to address the myriad of scandals that had played out both on and off-screen. The 100-minute special was packed with confrontations, secret recordings, and tearful confessions.
1. The Status of Taylor Frankie Paul’s Relationship
The biggest question going into the reunion was the status of Taylor Frankie Paul's relationship. After breaking up with her partner at the end of Season 2, Taylor was forced to explain the chaotic timeline of her romantic life. The discussion was intense, with Viall pressing her on the details of her public split and the emotional toll it took on her and her family. Her parents, Liann and Jeremy, and siblings, Hunter and Aspyn, had even weighed in on her drama earlier in the season, underscoring the family's struggle with her public life.
2. Infidelity and Secret Audio Recordings
The most devastating segment focused on the allegations of infidelity that plagued multiple couples, particularly those involving Demi Engemann and Jessi Ngatikaura. The reunion saw the shocking presentation of dirty text messages and secret audio recordings that had allegedly been kept hidden from the group. The evidence suggested a complex web of betrayals that shattered the image of the "united MomTok" group, leaving Jessi to confront the drama without her former best friend, Demi, by her side.
3. The Jessi and Demi Friendship Destruction
Jessi Ngatikaura openly stated at the reunion that she and Demi Engemann would "never be friends" again. Their fractured relationship, which was a major storyline throughout Season 2, reached a definitive end as Jessi expressed her frustration and hurt over Demi’s actions and her subsequent no-show at the reunion. The breakdown of their friendship was a harsh reality check for the entire group, highlighting how the pressure of reality television and the "spicy" MomTok lifestyle had irrevocably damaged personal bonds.
4. Jen Affleck’s Emotional Mid-Season Exit
Jen Affleck, who was present at the reunion, spoke candidly about her decision to stop filming midway through Season 2. Her emotional and crippling struggles were a stark reminder of the mental health toll that being a public figure and reality star can take. Her appearance provided closure on her personal journey, even as the drama swirled around the other cast members.
5. The "Vanderpump Villa" Crossover Confrontation
In a surprising reality TV crossover moment, cast member Layla Taylor sat down with Marciano, a cast member from Hulu’s Vanderpump Villa. Layla confronted him about various allegations, adding another layer of external controversy and intrigue to the already packed special. This segment underscored the show's connection to the broader Hulu reality universe.
6. The Dancing With The Stars Announcement
In a stunning display of corporate synergy and career elevation, the reunion concluded with the announcement that two of the wives would be joining the upcoming season of ABC's Dancing With The Stars. This revelation left the audience and cast members in shock, signaling a massive new chapter for the reality stars and further cementing their status as mainstream entertainment figures.
7. The MomTok vs. DadTok Showdown
Host Nick Viall made sure to bring the "DadTok" husbands into the fold, forcing them to address their involvement in the season’s scandals. The husbands were confronted about their roles in the infidelity rumors and the pressure of having their private lives broadcast to millions. This segment provided a rare glimpse into the men's perspective on the "soft-swinging" culture and the chaos their wives’ careers had created.
What’s Next: Season 3, Season 4, and Beyond
The drama from the Season 2 reunion is far from over. The immense popularity and controversy surrounding the series have solidified its future on Hulu, demonstrating its strong topical authority in the reality TV landscape.
Hulu has officially renewed The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and has ordered a staggering 20 more episodes of the reality hit. This massive order confirms the show's return for Season 3 and strongly suggests that a Season 4 and potentially a Season 5 are already in the pipeline. The Season 3 reunion, which premiered on December 4, 2025, was itself a source of controversy, with cast members claiming the 13-hour taping was heavily edited down.
Fans can expect the next seasons to delve deeper into the fallout from the Season 2 reunion, focusing on the continued strain on Jessi Ngatikaura’s marriage, the new life of Taylor Frankie Paul, and the inevitable introduction of new "wives" to fill the void left by those who have stepped away. The MomTok drama, the exploration of modern Mormonism, and the pressures of influencer life will continue to be the central, compelling themes that keep viewers hooked.
