Jennifer Affleck attends the world premiere of "Wuthering Heights" on Jan. 28, 2026, in Los Angeles.

Affleck has documented her life since the debut of "SLOMW," which features a group of Utah influencers known as "#MomTok." After Season 1 displayed her marital struggles with husband Zac, the couple decided to take time apart, and Season 2 followed her journey navigating their separation.

In February 2025, the reality personality announced she was pregnant with her third child, leaving many fans shocked given the status of her relationship. Their reconciliation was later featured on the Hulu show, and Affleck gave birth to their youngest in July.

One month later, she and her family moved to Los Angeles so she could compete on season 34 of "Dancing with the Stars." Affleck and pro partner Jan Ravnick were eliminated during week 7, but she later revealed they would be staying in California permanently, leading to her shift from "SLOMW" to the upcoming Orange County edition.
