Court Denies ‘SLOMW’ Star Jordan Ngatikaura’s Restraining Order Against Jessi Draper
A court has denied the restraining order that ‘SLOMW’ cast member Jordan Ngatikaura sought against Jessi Draper. The filing was made last Friday amid their ongoing divorce proceedings. Draper filed an opposition the same day, and neither representative responded to requests for comment from Filmogaz.com.
Court filings and immediate outcome
Ngatikaura requested a temporary restraining order as part of the separation. The court rejected the request after Draper opposed the motion. Both sides remain involved in active family court matters.
Marriage, children and divorce
The couple married five years ago. They share two children: son Jagger, age five, and daughter Jovi, age three.
News that they were ending their marriage emerged last Thursday after Ngatikaura filed for divorce. He said the split was not easy and emphasized his focus on their children. He added he intends to handle the transition with kindness and respect.
Allegations and past problems
The pair had separated multiple times before the divorce filing. In a 2025 interview, Draper accused her then-husband of emotional abuse. She also acknowledged an emotional affair with Vanderpump Villa star Marciano Brunette, describing how harmful patterns can develop gradually.
Production fallout on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
Filming on Season 5 has been paused amid a separate probe into allegations against cast member Taylor Frankie Paul. Paul faces accusations of domestic violence involving an ex, Dakota Mortensen. As a result, several cast members have refused to work with Paul.
- Jessi Draper
- Mikayla Matthews
- Mayci Neely
- Layla Taylor
- Whitney Leavitt
- Jen Affleck
Producers also pulled Paul’s upcoming season of The Bachelorette while the investigation continues. The production pause follows other recent cast turmoil, including the breakup of Mikayla Matthews and Jace Terry.
