The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County premiered on Hulu yesterday.
The show, which is a spinoff of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, is already getting a ton of buzz.
One of the stars,Aspyn Ovard, who is in a throuple with married couple Bri and Billy Davis, recently opened up about the situation with her ex-husband Parker Ferris.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Aspyn, 30, noted that the situation with Parker, 31, is hard, as everything is “so heavy.”
“I think that throughout the season you do kind of see him come around to being supportive of my relationship, and I think they’re all actually going to go on vacation together when [the] show comes out, because we’re trying to just kind of disconnect from the world,” she shared.
“We tried to do one before, and he was not quite ready,” she continued. “So I said maybe for next time, and I think that we’re, yeah, going to do that this time. So it still feels good to be in a place where we… kind of come together and do things like that, because all that I’ve ever, you know, wanted for him is just to feel like taken care of and, you know, included in… the family as much as possible.”
On the show, Aspyn revealed a decade-long lie that ended up leading to her divorce from Parker.
“Finding out that Parker had been drinking behind my back for years, it was literally earth-shattering,” she revealed in a confessional. “He went through so much to hide it from me, and the fact that my husband – who was supposed to be the safest person – would do that to me. For him to know what alcoholism did to my family – to find all of this out two months after my dad died from alcoholism – hurt so bad.”
While she thought they were “on the same page about where [they] stood with drinking and smoking,” it’s clear they were not.
Parker, for his part, shared in a confessional that Aspyn said they’d get divorced if he drank.
“There were a few times during our marriage that I’d be like, ‘Hey, let’s experiment. Let’s try a drink,’” he stated. “And she would tell me, ‘If you ever drink, we are getting divorced.’”
Aspyn also revealed that her young daughter is battling terminal cancer.
“Everything happened just so out of nowhere,” she shared on the show. “One day she was OK, and the next day she wasn’t.”
Aspyn, who has three daughters, Cove, 7, Lola, 5, and Elle, 2, did not share which of her daughters is battling cancer.
“At the hospital, we were like, ‘It has to be fine,’” she continued. “You can’t fathom they’re actually gonna tell you that your baby has cancer, and that it’s terminal and she could be gone in a month.”
While she said they’ve been living in fear of losing their daughter “over three years” now, a recent scan was “stable.”
