Jessi Draper isn't keeping her dating life a secret.
While attending the 2026 American Music Awards May 25, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star—who was at the event with Vanderpump Villa's Marciano Brunette—shared an update on her dating life amid her divorce from Jordan Ngatikaura.
“I'm single, going through a divorce and dating around, having fun,” Jessi exclusively told E! News at the AMAs. “I have Marciano here tonight, but I'm just casually dating and living life.”
As for how Marciano—who became the center of the drama alongside Jessi during the show’s third season—is enjoying their time together?
“I’m having a lot of fun,” he told E! News. “I’m enjoying it every day. It's a blessing and I couldn’t be happier.”
And though they had a bit of a rocky start, as Jessi explained, they've moved on to a much better place.
"I mean, I guess we're all used to the show," Jessi explained, "but I feel like it's just part of the job. It's a side effect of it so you just have to take everything with a grain of salt."
"And we knew it would be heightened at the beginning," she noted of their dynamic. "And now, people are getting used to seeing us together and we're just having fun."
A sentiment Marciano couldn't agree with more.
"I think the main thing for us," he shared, "is that we had an open line of communication. We were honest with each other and we didn't wanna hold anything back so we could move past it and [move] forward."
And as for her ongoing divorce, Jessi noted that though it can be painful, she’s taking it one day at a time.
"I don't think you can go through it and have it not be," the Hulu star—who is mom to 3 kids— shared. "I have good and bad days. There's days where I'm bawling, can't get out of bed, there's days I can be here and do this but I just know the first year is going be the hardest...We co-parent, which is great. We're just there for our kids. I love my kids more than anything so as long they're happy, I'm happy."
