After her elimination from Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday, October 28, Jen Affleck confirmed she and her family are relocating to Los Angeles, sparking widespread speculation about her future on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Fans questioned whether the move signals her departure from the hit Hulu reality series. However, Affleck remains committed to the show, with her return already confirmed for Season 3 premiering on November 13, and hints suggesting she will also appear in Season 4.
Who: Jen Affleck, reality TV star and Dancing With the Stars contestant
What: Moving from Utah to Los Angeles
When: Announced October 28, 2025, during a TikTok Live
Where: From Utah to L.A.
Why: Personal and professional opportunities following her dance competition appearance
How: Relocation managed by a full real estate and logistics team, confirmed by husband Zac Affleck
Affleck’s husband, Zac Affleck, recently commented on TikTok that a ten-person team handled their move before she finalized the purchase of their new L.A. home. Despite the relocation, both Jen and Zac are slated to appear in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3 and likely Season 4.
Inside Statements from Jen and Zac
During her post-elimination TikTok Live, Jen Affleck told her dance partner Jan Ravnik, “He’s literally my neighbor. I’m in L.A. now, so he’s the only friend I have.”
Ravnik added, “We are neighbors now,” confirming the move.
Meanwhile, Zac Affleck reassured fans in a TikTok comment that filming is ongoing:
“You will see BTS of Season 4. We had a realtor, assistant, and full 10-man team working on finding the perfect home before she would commit.”
Jen also told TV Insider:
“I couldn’t ask for a better partner. Honestly, if I could do this again, I would ask for the same [partner]. We had so much against us, but we still pushed through.”
What This Means for the Series
Jen Affleck’s move to Los Angeles could introduce a new dynamic to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which has traditionally centered around families in Utah’s MomTok community. Her continued involvement suggests that the show may expand its geographic and narrative scope to include L.A.-based storylines.
For Hulu, retaining Jen Affleck — one of the show’s breakout personalities — ensures audience continuity ahead of the Season 3 premiere.
Upcoming Episodes and Future Seasons
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives returns to Hulu on Thursday, November 13, 2025, for its third season. While Hulu has not officially confirmed Season 4, Zac Affleck’s comments imply that production may already be underway.
Fans can expect to see more of Jen’s family adjusting to life in Los Angeles, alongside her next professional steps following Dancing With the Stars.
