“A new group of dynamic young mothers in Orange County collide in a community where beliefs are not just their religion; they are their identity,” a logline reads. “While some defend their way of life, fighting against modernity, others embrace change, becoming a platform to disrupt the status quo.”

The summary continues, Scandals and secrets will be revealed, facades will crumble, and families and friendships will change forever on both sides of the battlefield as this group of strong, game-changing influencers comes together to build their answer to #MomTok.”

Mormon Wives premiered on Hulu in 2024, following a group of Utah-based influencers as they navigate young motherhood, social media careers and faith. The show, which has aired four seasons to date, catapulted Taylor Frankie Paul, Jessi Draper, Jen Affleck, Whitney Leavitt, Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Matthews, Layla Taylor and Miranda McWhorter to fame.

Keep scrolling to meet the new Mormon Wives: OC stars:

Aspyn Ovard

Aspyn is a YouTube star, known for sharing family content with now-ex Parker Ferris. Aspyn and Parker share daughters Cove, Lola and Elle. They welcomed Elle in April 2024 days after Aspyn filed for divorce.

Aspyn publicly came out as queer following her divorce and is now dating Bri Davis.

While Aspyn briefly made a cameo on the OG Mormon Wives series during the season 2 Halloween party, she is no longer a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

“My dad grew up Mormon, my mom did not um she got baptized when they got married,” the influencer said on the “Girls Camp” podcast in March 2025. “We went to church for the first little bit of my life. I know I went when I was around 3 ‘cause I still have a craft from when I went.”

As Aspyn grew up in Utah, neither of her parents nor her siblings expressed interest in going to church.

“It doesn’t feel like it was a huge core piece of my upbringing,” she said at the time. “I do have a lot of experience, like, going to the Mormon church and I did get baptized.”

Aspyn eventually realized that she wasn’t “aligned” with many of the conservative values of the religion and took a step back.

Bobbi Althoff

Bobbi, who hosts the “Really Good” podcast, shares two daughters with ex-husband Cory Althoff. Bobbi finalized her divorce in August 2024 and started dating again the next year.

Despite being an OC-based Mormon Wife, Bobbi is not actually a member of the LDS Church.

“We considered ourselves Christian, we used to go to church every Sunday and for a time I was going to church a lot too,” Bobbi said on the “Soul Boom” podcast in December 2024. “I did really believe in God.”

Avery Woods

Avery is married to police officer David Woods, and they share two children. David is also the father of two kids from a previous relationship.

As for her relationship to faith, Avery revealed on a January 2024 episode of her “Cheers” podcast that she has “never been a religious person.”

Salome Andrea

Salomé married Aaron Brimhall in 2012, welcoming twin daughters Luca and Rue in 2018.

While Salomé grew up practicing Mormonism, she noted on a 2023 episode of Avery’s podcast that she’s not “a Utah Mormon.”

“I don’t like to come out and say, ‘I am not Mormon’ because I have my own relationship with God, so does Aaron,” Salomé said. “We don’t go [to church], we drink, we have tattoos, we do things that ‘we shouldn’t’ in the church. I still feel like I don’t need to say, ‘I’m not Mormon’ because I have my own relationship with that and we do want our girls to grow up with some sort of religion and understanding of something bigger, so my mom takes them to church.”

McCall Dapron

McCall is the older sister of Mayci, who grew up in a Mormon family in Southern California.

McCall and her husband are parents of four and belong to the LDS church.

Chandler Higginson

Chandler and her husband, Dylan Higginson, share kids Dax, Coco, Kord and Banks.

While Chandler has not publicized her religious beliefs, she shared an Easter message in April 2026.

“Not enough words to express my gratitude for this crew! He is Risen! Happy Easter ????????,” she captioned a family pic on Instagram.

Ashleigh Pease

Australian-born influencer Ashleigh is married to Nathan Pease and they have four children.

Ashleigh and Nathan have not publicly shared their religious affiliations but do post pics from Christmas celebrations online.
