Since the original debuted on the platform in 2024, Jen has had a major role in the series across all five seasons alongside cast members including Taylor Frankie Paul, Whitney Leavitt, Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Matthews, Jessi Draper and more. (Paul, Matthews and Leavitt have all since left the show.)
On screen, viewers have seen a myriad of Jen and Zac’s marital issues (both financial and emotional) play out between the two. On Season 1, a now-infamous spat between the couple was documented when Jen was considering attending a Chippendales show with her “MomTok” co-stars during a cast trip to Las Vegas, prompting Zac to tell her she’d end up divorced if she went. Jen has also been vocal about Zac’s issues regarding gambling over the show’s run.
In August, Jen told People that “there’s a lot that we’ve been navigating behind closed doors” as she navigated her fourth pregnancy. “It’s been a lot the past couple of months, I’ll be honest,” she said at the time. “But I do feel like I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and just trying to count my blessings every single day.”
TMZ was first to report the news.
