- Jessi Draper and Vanderpump Villa’s Marciano Brunette had an “emotional affair” during her brief separation from then-husband, Jordan Ngatikaura, on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 3.
- After all the drama, Jessi and Jordan have filed for divorce.
- She was spotted cozying up to Marciano at the Hulu Gets Real event on Wednesday, April 22—and revealed whether they’re an item.
Someone check on Demi Engemann, because Jessi Draper just gave a major update on her relationship status after their love triangle drama with Marciano Brunette on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 3.
Jessi—who is in the midst of divorcing Jordan Ngatkaura—has spent weeks dropping hints with Marciano on social media, but at the Hulu Get Real House event on Wednesday, April 22, she finally revealed where she and the Vanderpump Villa star stand.
“He’s one on the roster,” Jessi told Entertainment Tonight, adding, “You know, one of many.”
While she isn’t particularly exclusive with Marciano, Jessi did confirm she is single and ready to mingle in the wake of her split with Jordan. “We’re just having fun right now,” she said of herself and Marciano. “I’m single for the first time in 10 years. I’m just excited to have fun!”
Important to note that Jessi’s confirmation comes after she was spotted cuddling and kissing Marciano at the Hulu event earlier that afternoon, per footage captured by Decider. It doesn’t seem like they were trying to hide anything as they openly hugged while speaking with other attendees.
“They’re dating. It’s no secret. She also seems a lot happier,” one fan wrote of their connection. “Good for them. I don’t agree with how it happened but she’s allowed to do what she wants. It’s her life.” Another jokingly chimed in, “I know this is keeping Demi up at night.”
At the same time, another said, “Good! I hope Jordan sees this! 😂 He thought he really did something going to the villa! LMAO,” alluding to Jordan’s confrontation with Marciano when DadTok went to Vanderpump Villa.
When speaking with ET, Jessi’s SLOMW co-star Mayci Neely also chimed in with a subtle dig at Jordan. “We’re not settling this time,” she said, to which Jessi added, “Not this time.”
As for how Mayci feels about Jessi and Marciano’s connection after all the drama that went down with Demi? “No comment,” she quipped.
