The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jordan Ngatikaura ended up spilling about his failed marriage while recording what was supposed to be a fun wedding video for a fan.
“I understand that you are getting married. [Your friends] Amy and Meredith love you so, so, very much and they wanted me to just wish you well,” Jordan, 31, began in the Cameo clip circulating via social media. “I know that you and Jonas are getting married in June and I know you guys have been together for five years.”
Jordan acknowledged that he wasn’t sure whether he was the “best person to be taking marriage advice from” right now.
“I’m going through a divorce, and as you’ve probably seen online, my wife’s acting like a complete psycho [and] manic person,” he claimed, referring to Jessi Draper. “It’s really sad to see her that way and for it to unfold that way. She kiss[ed] her best friend’s ex-husband and talk[ed] to her affair partner. But hey, this isn’t about me right now.”
The reality star briefly pivoted back to the fan, adding, “I understand that you are a singer and a rapper. I would love to hear some of your raps or your songs. That sounds freaking amazing. And I hear that you’re the best person ever, which you sound amazing. Amy and Meredith think the world of you.”
Jordan then changed the subject again to discuss The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
“I understand that you’re a big fan of the show. So I hate to burst your bubble, [but] the show is a little bit … a lot of it is scripted and very edited to make the men look like dumbasses,” he added. “We are dumb, but we’re just not as dumb as the show makes us look and sound.”
He concluded: “I hope that you have the absolute best wedding ever. My advice to you for your wedding is to always turn toward your partner and treat them like they’re the most important thing in the world because otherwise — if you don’t — you’ll end up getting divorced like I do if you let your partner only care about fame. So my advice to you is to always turn toward your partner and always treat them like they are the No. 1 priority. As long as you both do that, you want to be a very successful and loving and happy marriage.”
Jessi, 34, poked fun at the video in the comments section, writing, “I hope you can get your money back.” She also replied with the message, “Team manic for life!!”
Mayci Neeley, meanwhile, couldn’t believe Jordan recorded such an awkward video. “Is this AI?! No way this is real 😂,” she quipped.
Chase McWhorter, who recently made headlines for kissing Jessi after his marriage to her friend Miranda McWhorter, wrote in response, “Brutal watch, per usual”
Jordan and Jessi, who share kids Jagger, 5, and Jovi, 2, went through plenty of ups and downs on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives before broke in March that Jordan filed for divorce. (He also filed for a restraining order, which was not granted.)

“This has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart,” Jordan told Us Weekly in a statement about ending the pair’s five-year marriage. “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.”
The statement 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.”
Jessi, for her part, has documented her move into a new home and recently teased a casual relationship with Marciano Brunette, who she had an emotional affair with while married to Jordan.
