Yahoo Lifestyle 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' Star Jennifer Affleck Surprises Fans With Family News
Jennifer Affleck, one of the stars of Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, has some exciting family news to share.
On Tuesday, Feb. 11, the internet personality announced that she and husband Zac Affleck are expecting their third child together. The couple already shares daughter Nora, 3, and son Lucas, 19 months.
Jennifer surprised fans with the news in a Instagram post with PEOPLE magazine, sharing the first photos of her baby bump while posing for some family portraits with Zac and their two children.
"Jen you’re just glowing!!!!!!! I’m so excited for your family ❤️" one of her followers gushed under the announcement photos.
"You are the cutest pregnant 🤩 congrats ❤️" another Instagram user added.
Meanwhile, some fans were surprised by the unexpected news—which apparently even came as a shock to Jennifer and Zac.
"I was a few days late, and while it was a surprise, we both had a feeling there was another baby waiting for us," Jennifer, 25, told PEOPLE while announcing the news. "We were very excited, there were a lot of emotions after a very crazy year!"
While appearing on Season 1 of the hit Hulu reality series, Jennifer and Zac garnered a lot of attention after the show aired, particularly in regards to their relationship. Jennifer, who married Zac in 2019, received an outpouring of concern—from both her co-stars and viewers of the show—over the way she has allegedly been treated by her strict Mormon husband.
Fans were even wondering if the pair's marriage was eventually headed for divorce, which is why the pregnancy announcement caught many people off guard.
"wow so we all thought this would be a divorce announcement cool" one critic wrote.
"and the crowd is…. confused," added another.
Season 2 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is expected to premiere on Hulu in May.
