Jen Affleck is pregnant! The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star expecting after THOSE Ben Affleck rumors

Jen Affleck of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives fame and her husband Zac Affleck are awaiting the arrival of baby number three. 

The reality star announced her pregnancy in an interview with People as she showed off her bump in a sweet family shoot for the publication.

Jen also revealed she was surprised to learn of her pregnancy: ‘I was a few days late, and while it was a surprise, we both had a feeling there was another baby waiting for us,’ she said. 

‘We were very excited, there were a lot of emotions after a very crazy year!’ 

The Afflecks, who previously said they are related to Ben Affleck, already have three-year-old daughter Nora and 19-month-old son Lucas together, and while they do not know the sex of their third child just yet, Jen senses they are having a girl. 

‘I have a strong feeling it’s a girl,’ she explained. ‘I’ve dreamed about this little girl for a while now, and I truly believe she’s the one I’m carrying.’

Jen called having a big family a ‘dream.’ 

The star, who has two siblings of her own, said: ‘Having been raised with numerous foster kids, I’ve always dreamed of a big family, and seeing that dream come true is both exciting and fulfilling. 

‘It can be daunting to think about raising three babies while pursuing my career, but I want to show women and mothers that they can achieve anything they set their minds to, no matter how unrealistic it may seem,’ she said. 

Coincidentally, Jen is not the only woman in her family expecting a child – her sister is also now pregnant. 

‘My sister also recently found out she’s pregnant after many years of trying with IVF, so we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this journey together,’ she said.  

Jen is part of the hit Hulu series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which will soon be returning for a second season in May. 

The Afflecks will also be returning following a difficult run on the first season, and the couple have also faced speculation they were heading to divorce. 

‘Season 1 took a toll, not only on my marriage but also on my mental health,’ she explained.  ‘There were many dark days. There’s so much more to our story than people realize.

‘While I’m not sharing all the details online, it’s been essential for our relationship and mental health to keep our journey private until we’re ready to talk about it.’ 

Fans will learn more about The Afflecks in the upcoming second season.

‘Filming can be incredibly mentally draining, and adding pregnancy along with all the challenges I faced this last season was a big challenge. After dealing with the backlash from season 1 and stepping into season 2 with a lot of baggage, this pregnancy has been the toughest,’ she added. 

‘Pregnancy is already incredibly challenging both mentally and physically, and with everything else I was juggling, there’s no doubt this has been my hardest pregnancy yet,’ she continued. 

While the couple first rose to fame at the launch of The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives last year, the duo already had a familiar link to Hollywood at the time. 

Jen claimed her husband Zac is the cousin of famous brothers Ben and Casey Affleck, and stated her father-in-law Dave Affleck had met the duo. 

‘He’s my husband’s cousin, but we’ve never met him,’ Jen previously told People of the Ben Affleck connection. 

According to the outlet, her husband is Ben’s first cousin once removed. Her father-in-law is first cousins with Ben and Casey. 

‘Zac’s dad has [met them], when [Ben] was very little,’ she continued. ‘I’m hoping to meet him one day, too!’ 

She clarified the celebrities were more ‘like distant relatives.’  

However a source with knowledge of her family has since shut down the claim down to People.

The insider called their claims ‘absolutely no true’ in a September report. 

‘There’s no relationship,’ the source said.

Jen and her husband, meanwhile, previously faced divorce rumors after she danced in a TikTok video without her wedding ring. 

She was dancing to the Kool & the Gang song Get Down On It with her kids nearby, though many noticed that she was not wearing her wedding ring. 

Later, a source told People that the split rumors were not true, stating the star ‘often goes without her wedding ring,’ adding that, ‘she has never really worn it consistently.’

The couple also came to blows on the show after Jen visited Chippendales with fellow cast members.

During the episode, Jen admitted: ‘Zac’s making me feel like I did do something, like I cheated on him or something.

‘I clearly didn’t do anything, and he knows my heart and my intention. And so it’s so upsetting that he doesn’t believe me or trust me.

‘I would never do anything to jeopardize our marriage and it makes me sad that he doesn’t feel that way.’
