Jessi Ngatikaura returned to social media after her estranged husband, Jordan Ngatikaura, filed for divorce.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, 33, took to her Instagram Story on Tuesday, March 24, to share that she was listening to Taylor Swift’s song “Fresh Out the Slammer” from her Tortured Poet’s Department album. The track is about being free after ending a relationship.
Jessi chose to highlight the lyric, “But it’s gonna be alright. I did my time,” in her social media upload.
Last week, Jordan, 31, filed for divorce from Jessi after five years of marriage. (The pair share kids Jagger, 5, and Jovi, 2.)
“This has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart,” Jordan told Us Weekly in a statement on Thursday, March 19. “I’m grateful for the shared memories and the lessons. While our paths are now moving in different directions, my priority remains my children and ensuring they feel loved, supported, and protected through this transition.”
He continued, “I am committed to handling this next chapter with kindness and respect. I kindly ask for privacy and understanding as we navigate this as a family.”
The timing of Jessi’s post comes after TMZ and Page Six both reported that Jordan’s temporary restraining order (TRO) was denied. (Page Six was the first to break the news.)
One day after filing for divorce, Jordan submitted a TRO request. No additional details regarding the request, including the alleged reason for the filing, were revealed at the time.
Jessi and Jordan’s relationship has been a focus on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. In the second season, Jessi was accused of infidelity. She later revealed that she had an emotional affair with Hulu star Marciano Brunette after they met while filming Vanderpump Villa.
“I wouldn’t say I was in love with him. It only lasted about two weeks, so it was quick. But I will say I confided in him a lot,” Jessi exclusively told Us ahead of the season 3 premiere in November 2025. “The dynamic with Jordan that I had had in my marriage, I hadn’t really talked to anyone about it. My family and friends had been aware because they’d seen things, but I tried to be like, ‘Everything’s fine.’”
Jessi claimed that she and Brunette grew close after she opened up about her marriage woes.
“I did feel a connection to him in that sense because he was there for me and he made me feel special,” she said. “Jordan would put me down a lot. Marciano told me how pretty and cool and fun I was. I felt like there was a connection there because he was giving me something I was lacking. But I wouldn’t say I was in love with him.”
