“I’m really excited for everyone to get a deeper look into my life as a young mother and wife,” Jen told Page Six ahead of the show’s Sept. 6 premiere.

“I’m also excited for people to reconsider their perception of Mormons and challenge their way of thinking when it comes to myself, my marriage and my fellow #MomTok friends.”

The momfluencer has also hinted at their famous family connection on social media in the past.

In September 2022, Jen joked about wanting to be the next Jennifer Lopez.

“But instead… she stole your name & you’re busting it down to Ms. Rachel,” she wrote over a video of herself dancing to “Wheels on the Bus” by the popular YouTube creator.

“Can’t forget that Ben Affleck is my husbands [sic] second cousin,” she added in the caption.

Zac, who has less of a following on social media, has not spoken publicly about the upcoming reality series.

“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” follows the drama-filled lives of Mormon influencer moms in the aftermath of “a swinging sex scandal,” per Hulu’s official synopsis.

The scandal erupted after Jen and Zac’s co-star Taylor Frankie Paul announced her divorce from Tate Paul in 2022.

At the time, she revealed that she and Tate agreed to have a “soft swinging” marriage, but she eventually broke their marital boundaries.

“The whole group was intimate with each other,” she confessed in a TikTok livestream. “Tate has made out with several girls and other things, and I’ve made out with all of the husbands and vice versa.”

She even admitted to “going all the way” with one person in their friend group without her then-husband’s permission.

In July 2022, Taylor introduced her beau, Dakota Mortenson, as the man she “cheated with.” They welcomed their first child together in March.

Taylor previously said in a statement, per People, that she wants viewers of the show “to have a better understanding” of who she is.

“I wanted to be vulnerable and show people that when you hit rock bottom, there is hope,” she added. 

“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” also stars Demi Engemann, Jessi Ngatikaura, Layla Taylor, Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Mathews and Whitney Leavitt.
