Jessi Draper isn't keeping her dating life a secret. While attending the 2026 American Music Awards on May 25, the star of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" - who was at the event with Vanderpump Rules' Marciano Brunette - shared an update on her dating life amidst her divorce from Jordan Ngatikaura.
"I'm single, going through a divorce, and having fun with dating around," Jessi exclusively told E! News at the AMAs. "I have Marciano here tonight, but I'm just casually dating and living life."
As for how Marciano - who became the center of the drama alongside Jessi during the show's third season - is enjoying their time together, he told E! News, "I'm having a lot of fun. I'm enjoying it every day. It's a blessing, and I couldn't be happier."
Though they had a bit of a rocky start, as Jessi explained, they've moved on to a much better place. "I guess we're all used to the show," Jessi explained. "But I feel like it's just part of the job. It's a side effect of it, so you just have to take everything with a grain of salt."
"And we knew it would be heightened at the beginning," she noted of their dynamic. "Now, people are getting used to seeing us together, and we're just having fun."
Marciano couldn't agree more. "I think the main thing for us," he shared, "is that we had an open line of communication. We were honest with each other, and we didn't want to hold anything back so we could move past it and move forward."
As for her ongoing divorce, Jessi noted that though it can be painful, she's taking it one day at a time. "I don't think you can go through it and not have some pain," the Hulu star - who is a mom to three kids - shared. "I have good and bad days. There are days where I'm bawling, can't get out of bed, and there are days I can be here and do this. But I just know the first year is going to be the hardest...We co-parent, which is great. We're just there for our kids. I love my kids more than anything, so as long as they're happy, I'm happy."
