After dating for about a year, the couple got engaged and married in 2019.

Jen later reflected on their early marriage in a 2024 Instagram post, writing: “We were just kids when we got married. Young, naive, and inexperienced, we truly had no idea what we were getting ourselves into.”

She added: “We didn’t always see eye to eye, and a lot of times, we still don’t. But that’s what marriage is, we keep trying. I truly believe there were lessons we both needed to teach each other.”

2020-2023: THEY WELCOME THREE CHILDREN

The couple expanded their family quickly, welcoming three children in the first years of their marriage.

Their oldest daughter, Nora, was born in 2021 and turned five on the same day the divorce filing was reported.

Their son, Luca, is three years old.

Their youngest daughter, Penelope, is 16 months old.

Jen also built a career as a social media influencer, posting content about young Mormon motherhood.

She became part of MomTok, a viral group of Utah-based mom influencers on TikTok.

In 2024, Jen was cast in Hulu’s reality docuseries ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,’ which followed the dynamics of the MomTok group.

The show’s first season aired in September 2024 and showed serious cracks in Jen and Zac’s marriage.

Viewers saw the couple argue about Zac’s gambling and Jen’s choice to potentially attend a Chippendales show in Las Vegas.

They nearly called it quits during filming.

After the season premiered, Jen told Us Weekly in September 2024: “Ever since we finished filming, we’ve been doing nonstop therapy and it’s been great.”

She added: “So if anything, [watching the show] is just going to be exposure therapy at this point. We’ve healed and now we’re ready to talk about it once it comes out.”

That same month, Jen posted a lengthy tribute to Zac on Instagram, praising his support.

She wrote: “Zac bought me my first laptop when he had $10 in his bank account. When I shared my dream of running a marathon, he trained alongside me and ran it with me. I told him I wanted to start my videography business, so he saved up money and bought me my first camera. When we were expecting our first baby, I wanted a place to call home, so he worked hard, saved up, and bought us our first house.”

She continued: “He gave me both stability and freedom, which allowed me to post videos online and launch my career on social media. This, in turn allowed me to support him and our family while he’s been in school.”

Jen noted she “couldn’t have” found success on her own without Zac by her side.

She added: “Is Zac perfect? No. Does he have flaws that we’ve needed to address? Yes. But I can confidently say he’s always supported and believed in me more than anyone else.”
