People magazine reports that four cast members of 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' have separated from their partners since the Hulu reality show premiered in September 2026. The breakups include Taylor Frankie Paul, whose swinging scandal triggered the show's premise, and most recently Jen Affleck, who filed for divorce this week.
