The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Taylor Frankie Paul is supporting Jessi Draper through her divorce from Jordan Ngatikaura.
Jessi, 33, took to social media on Monday, April 6, to get candid about the “mistakes” she’s made in her two failed marriages, and Taylor, 31, quickly offered her friend support.
“Some experiences need to be lived through to even began [sic] to understand, empathize, and hold space for ❤️🩹,” she wrote in the comments section. “I’m here for you even through the bad times my girl.”
Marciano Brunette also supported Jessi, writing, “You’re so Amazing! So Strong! Keep going! ❤️❤️.”
The Vanderpump Villa star, 33, was allegedly seen spending time with Jessi recently, but she confirmed via Instagram that she’s single and looking to “have fun.”
In Jessi’s video, she shared that she has “a lot of healing to do” amid her split from Jordan, 31, who filed for divorce in March after five years of marriage. Jessi was also previously married to Zach Gish from 2014 to 2019.

“This is such a weird experience to go through, and I know a lot of you can relate, and it’s the second divorce I’ve been through, which has been awful,” she said. “They’ve both been very different, and doing it with kids is very unique and different from my first situation. I just feel, like, really lost, to be honest.” (Jessi and Jordan share kids Jagger, 5, and Jovi, 3.)
She went on to claim that both marriages were “emotionally unsafe,” noting that she learned “defense mechanisms” during both relationships.
“It’s crazy how getting out of that can kind of mess with your head a little bit and make you go a little bit crazy,” she added. “I feel like I’m going through that right now. It’s kind of like a purging and a detox of the patterns that I’m used to. I have a lot of patterns that I don’t love. I have a lot of behaviors that I don’t love either, and I’m really trying to work on that.”
Jessi also shared that she’s attending a four-day therapy retreat where she plans to mourn what she lost and heal from her past.
“I’ve had the darkest days I’ve ever had in the last month, and it’s been really rough,” she said. “It’s normal to feel all over the place and misplaced and sad and then happy and then relieved and then depressed. I’ve felt all of the emotions.”
