Aspyn Ovard Discusses Daughter's Cancer Diagnosis on New Reality Series
Reality star Aspyn Ovard revealed details of her daughter's terminal cancer diagnosis on the Hulu series "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County" and posted additional photos on Instagram.
Reality personality Aspyn Ovard used the debut episode of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County," which began streaming on November 12, to disclose that one of her three daughters has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. In a pre-release interview, Ovard said the past several years have been extremely difficult.
On Instagram on November 13, Ovard shared a series of images documenting moments from the family’s experience, including a beach photo with her ex-husband Parker Ferris and two of their children, and a hospital picture of her holding her daughter's hand on the anniversary of the diagnosis. Captions expressed ongoing emotional challenges and uncertainty about the future.
During a confessional in the series, Ovard explained that the family undergoes frequent MRI scans and that each day brings the possibility of a change in her daughter's condition. She added that publicly sharing the story provided some relief, though she acknowledged the difficulty of discussing such a personal matter.
The series also touches on the couple’s recent separation in 2024 and the strain the illness has placed on their relationship. "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County" is available for streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
