Aspyn Ovard discusses reality-TV debut and personal life on new Hulu series
Influencer Aspyn Ovard talks about joining the Hulu series "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County," her recent divorce, a throuple relationship and supporting castmate Jen Affleck.
Aspyn Ovard, a 30-year-old influencer with more than 5 million followers across YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, appeared on Hulu’s new series "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County" and spoke about the shift from self-produced content to reality-TV filming. Ovard said the experience was "nice" because she could simply show up and live her life without handling all the production work herself.
She noted that the behind-the-scenes process was more organized than many viewers assume, allowing participants to remain authentic while the production team managed logistics. Ovard also explained that the primary reason for her divorce from Parker Ferris was not a single dramatic event but a gradual realization that the couple had grown apart after marrying at a young age.
Regarding her current relationship, Ovard described the throuple she shares with another married couple as "stable, drama-free" and "healthy and fulfilling," emphasizing that the show offers a rare look at how such dynamics function. She said conversations with more conservative Mormon women on the series have been supportive, even though the Mormon church does not recognize gay marriage.
The series does not feature the "DadTok" segment that focused on fathers in the earlier Mormon Wives show, a decision Ovard said stemmed from both cast preferences and production feedback.
When castmate Jen Affleck filed for divorce, Ovard accompanied her to a divorce attorney, describing the experience as an honor and noting the loneliness of divorce, especially while pregnant.
