Reality TV enthusiasts are poised to discover the truth behind the drama involving Jessi Ngatikaura and Marciano Brunette.

The third season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives picks up directly from the explosive conclusion of series two, which witnessed Vanderpump Villa's Marciano alleging he had conducted an affair with #MomTok personality Jessi.

Throughout Vanderpump Villa's second season, SLOWM personalities Jessi, Demi Engemann, Jennifer Affleck, Mikayla Matthews and Layla Taylor journeyed to Italy for their villa retreat.

The episode, entitled Momtoks and Mormons, Oh My!, showcased what began as a harmless drinking game between the estate's staff and the SLOWM ensemble, which subsequently deteriorated into wounded emotions and betrayal.

Rumours suggesting a romantic connection between Marciano and Jessi emerged in 2024, following reports they were seen sharing a kiss in Los Angeles approximately one month after recording the crossover instalment.

Determined to uncover the complete story behind the controversy, Layla arranged to meet Marciano during SLOMW's second season penultimate episode to address the events that transpired in Italy the previous summer.

He confessed that he had originally attempted to pursue Demi romantically, though she ultimately rejected his overtures.

Marciano disclosed that upon learning of the "soft swinging" controversy surrounding SLOMW cast member Taylor Frankie Paul, he erroneously believed all the Mormon wives participated in swinging.

"I didn't really understand the boundaries," he told Layla, before adding: "I'd be lying if I said I didn't at least try and kiss [Demi]."

He then proceeded to suggest that his encounter with Jessi had extended beyond merely kissing to sleeping together.

"It's not like this was just some freaking one-night stand," he told Layla, who responded in shock, "No, it's a full-blown f***ing affair."

He went on to assert that Jessi's husband, Jordan "doesn't know the truth about how extensive it was" and that he and Jessi had "tried meeting up" on further occasions to pursue their supposed liaison.

Jessi has refuted the original kissing claims, stating in an episode, "If I was dumb enough to do that, I wouldn't do it in public."

Whilst she has yet to directly respond to the affair accusations, in a TikTok video shared the day following the finale broadcast, the mother of three hinted, "I'll speak when I can."

Marciano currently features as a main cast member on Vanderpump Villa and works as a Lead Server at the Villa.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season three drops Thursday, November 13 on Hulu and Disney+ with all 10 episodes available at once
