Jen Affleck Files for Divorce from Husband Zac
According to a filing obtained by People, Jen Affleck filed for divorce from her husband Zac Affleck on Tuesday, November 3, after seven years of marriage. Jen is currently pregnant with the couple’s fourth baby together, as they announced they were expecting in June of this year.
A source told People that the couple is “staying focused on preparing for the baby and supporting their kids” — 5-year-old daughter Nora, 3-year-old son Luca, and 1-year-old daughter Penelope. Jen announced her current pregnancy less than one year after her youngest child was born.
Jen celebrated the 26-week mark of her pregnancy on Instagram in September. The reality star told People in August that she was “deathly ill” during her first trimester, adding that “Zac really had to show up.”

The Couple Has Been ‘Navigating’ Things in Private
Jen Affleck told People in August that she and her husband Zac had been dealing with things in private during her pregnancy, saying, “There’s a lot that we’ve been navigating behind closed doors, but I do have to say, I wouldn’t have survived the first trimester without him.”
Secret Lives of Mormon Wives viewers also witnessed some of the couple’s tension during the fifth season of the Hulu show. In previous seasons, the couple was at odds over Zac’s gambling and Jen’s choice to attend a Chippendales show in Las Vegas. They also took time apart in Season 2, when Jen was pregnant with their daughter Penelope.
