The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: A Glimpse into Controversies and Connections
Prepare for an intriguing exploration in the upcoming reality series “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” set to engage audiences with its unexpected revelations and drama.
Stars Taylor Frankie Paul and Mayci Neeley recently spoke with “Extra’s” Terri Seymour about the sensational controversies surrounding the show, particularly a “soft swinging” scandal that is stirring discussions even before the series begins. Taylor took the opportunity to clarify what “soft swinging” entails, indicating it involves engaging in intimate activities with others without fully switching partners.
Unpacking the Drama
During the interview, Seymour pointedly asked Taylor about the origins of this dramatic turn in their social lives. Taylor recounted how their dynamic evolved over time: “For many years, we just enjoyed good parties and socializing, then things began to change. The introduction of substances at our gatherings led to us spending more nights together, such as renting cabins, which eventually fostered a more intimate atmosphere. One night, the suggestion was made to kiss, and it became a playful reality from there. We found ourselves exploring connections right in front of each other.”
Further, Taylor reflected on the impact of relational dissatisfaction, noting that boredom in partnerships often spurred people to explore uncharted territory. She acknowledged a somber outcome: “Now, today everyone’s divorced. Unfortunately, that was a part of it.”
Perspectives from Mayci
Seymour also inquired about Mayci’s involvement in this unconventional lifestyle, to which she humorously denied participation in Taylor’s social circle by stating, “No, no… I was not part of her little group. I wasn’t cool enough to be invited.”
Familial Connections and Surprises
In a surprising twist, the show also highlights an unexpected family tie: Zac Affleck, who is married to Jen, is revealed to be a cousin of actor Ben Affleck. Mayci shared her initial confusion regarding this connection, recalling, “I think Jenna said something a couple times. She’s like, ‘I’m the originally the J.Lo,’ but I was confused by what she meant. I thought it was a joke. I didn’t know they were actually related.”
The much-anticipated series premieres on September 6 on Hulu, promising audiences a blend of entertainment filled with personal stories, societal norms, and the complexities of relationships within the context of Mormon culture.
