‘Mormon Wives’ Star Zac Affleck Breaks Silence on Jen Affleck Divorce Amid Her Pregnancy
Zac Affleck is still coming to terms with Jen Affleck‘s decision.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star shared what led to the end of their seven-year marriage, admitting he “begged” Jen to stay when she first brought up divorce a year ago and was surprised to learn she officially submitted paperwork on Nov. 3.
“I found out from a TMZ reporter about the filing,” Zac shared in a Nov. 5 TikTok. “But regardless of that, this is something we’ve been talking about for a long time. Jen came to me about a year ago, after Dancing With the Stars, and told me she was unhappy and wanted a divorce. And I basically begged her to stay, told her work on things, fix things, become whoever she needed me to be.”
During that time, Jen became pregnant with their fourth child.
But now that the reality star—with whom he also shares kids Nora, 5, Luca, 3, andPenelope, 16 months—is moving forward with the divorce, Zac said he wanted to “shut down any narratives” about the split.
“I don’t want anyone speaking bad about Jen,” he continued. “I’ll be the first to say I’ve made plenty of mistakes in our marriage, and it just really was time for us to go our own ways. We got married so young, and it sucks because I really did feel like we had something pretty special when we got married.”
