Jordan and Jessi eventually got back together to try to fix their marital issues. However, by the fourth season of Mormon Wives, it became clear they still had a lot of work to do. We saw several heated fights between the couple during the new episodes, including over Jessi’s decision to start publicly using her maiden name, Draper, instead of Ngatikaura. The hairstylist also started spending more nights at a hotel than in their shared home.

In one of the more emotional moments of the season, Jessi broke down in tears because her prenuptial agreement was not signed by a witness, putting its validity into question. She made the discovery when she met up with her dad to go over the prenup, even though she hadn’t decided whether to divorce Jordan. The 33-year-old reality star told her fellow MomTokers that she could lose “millions” if she chooses to go through with it now because she knows he is “a hard person to be married to” and a “harder person to divorce.” Jessi further explained:

“He’s entitled to anything in the last five years that I’ve created. When we got married, I was worth a lot less than I am now. So it just sucks, and I don’t want to do that to my family. He’s entitled to it, so I could see him doing it [where he asks for] child support, or I would owe him alimony. … Jordan has made a lot of changes, but if I’m basing it off of the Jordan that I was married to for four years — that Jordan would be a very hard person to divorce. He would be spiteful and vindictive. I think he would play a little bit dirty. So I just have to prepare myself that if we do get divorced that it could go that way.”

Oof! This is why you should always get a prenup and double-check the paperwork is completed correctly!

So what does all of this mean for Jessi and Jordan? Is she going to divorce him soon? The Hulu personality is revealing where they stand! In an interview with People on Friday, Jessi shared that they are still “going to a lot of therapy” — both individually and together — to work on their problems:

“We’ve been doing that for about a year now since the separation happened, and it’s helped a lot. It’s taught us both a lot about how we are as individuals and how we are in a relationship, and it’s just kind of still a work in progress.”

The content creator went on to note it is “normal” for marriages to go through rough patches:

“I just wanted to share that because I know marriage is hard, relationships are hard, and it’s normal to struggle. Even in a good relationship, you’re gonna have ups and downs. So I just think it’s good to show people that it’s worth fighting for, it’s worth working through and it’s something that’s always a work in progress.”

It sounds like Jessi and Jordan are still together… for now. Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Tell us in the comments (below).
