'Mormon Wives' Stars Tease Jessi and Jordan’s Marriage Issues
There will be more coming out about Jessi Ngatikaura and husband Jordan Ngatikaura‘s current marriage issues after Marciano Brunette claimed he had an affair with her on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Layla Taylor, Whitney Leavitt and Miranda McWhorter weighed in on how Marciano’s allegations about meeting up with Jessi, 32, despite her being married to Jordan, 34, will unfold on screen.
“I was just shocked [when he told me], honestly. I feel like I came in with the intention of figuring out what more happened with Demi and him,” Layla, 24, recalled. “And it was completely shifted to Jessi.”
Layla didn’t question Marciano’s claims because she was so shocked.

“I feel like it wasn’t even in that moment who I believed,” she continued. “I was just taken back and honestly I didn’t really know how to react and take in all the information I just listened to.”
According to Whitney, the cast is “filming right now,” which means there will be answers sooner rather than later. Layla, meanwhile, weighed in on Jessi hinting that her marriage to Jordan has been going through some issues — but not because of Marciano.

“For her, definitely we’ll find out what’s true and what’s not true. Either way, it’s what’s meant to be will be and what’s meant to happen in their marriage will happen,” Layla noted. “I think for Jessi’s mental health, it’s definitely hard and it’s hard to have the public’s perception of her at this moment.”
Layla pointed out that the audience doesn’t have the full story yet. “She is having [fan] feedback but the full story hasn’t even come out yet,” she concluded. “So I think she’s hanging in there, but Jessi’s really, really tough. We’re all here for her and we all love her and we’re supporting her.”
During season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, it was Demi Engemann who was first accused of getting too close to Marciano while filming Vanderpump Villa despite being married to Bret Engemann.

Demi denied being unfaithful and Marciano sat down to clarify the rumors, which is when Marciano made separate claims about his relationship with Jessi. Jessi offered an update on her marriage when asked about the claims on the Tuesday, May 20, episode of “The Viall Files” podcast.
“I will say that reality TV is hard on any relationship, whether it’s a friendship or a marriage,” Jessi revealed. “We’ve been through a lot and now it’s going to be public.”
Jessi was also asked about not wearing a wedding ring, to which she noted that her and Jordan are “working through things,” adding, “We’re trying our best — but things are a little tricky right now. I’m excited to hopefully someday share more about that. But right now it’s just real life and it’s hard.”
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is currently streaming on Hulu.

5 Things to Know About Sheinelle Jones' Late Husband Uche Ojeh
Today cohost Sheinelle Jones was married to her college sweetheart, Uche Ojeh, for nearly two decades before he died in May 2025.
“With profound sadness, we share this morning that Uche Ojeh, the husband of our dear friend and Today cohost Sheinelle Jones, has passed away after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma,” Savannah Guthrie said during the show’s Friday, May 23, broadcast. “There are no words for the pain that we feel for Sheinelle and their three young children. Uche was an incredible person. We all loved him.”
She added, “We just want to say [to] the Ojeh family, we are with you. We love you. You are our family and we are just sending all of our love to you right now.”
In addition to Jones, Ojeh, who was 45, is survived by their son Kayin, 15, and twins Clara and Uche, 12.

Sheinelle Jones Pretended to Be a College Tour Guide to Meet Uche Ojeh
During Jones’ first year at Northwestern University in Chicago, she met Ojeh when he was visiting the campus during his last year of high school.
“I was a fake tour guide … I was just walking to class,” Jones joked to Northwestern’s alumni magazine in 2024. “[I was like, ‘Are you guys lost?’ I told him I would take him around because he was cute. I was like, ‘This is the Black House. … This is the Plex [Foster-Walker Complex], and if you need real tidbits, I’m probably not the one.’”
Ojeh ultimately opted to attend Northwestern, too, studying computer science and economics. He graduated in 2001, later returning to the school to propose to Jones. They got married in 2007.
Uche Ojeh Worked as a Consultant
According to Ojeh’s LinkedIn page, he served as a Managing Partner for UAO Consulting. He previously worked for IBM and Accenture.
Uche Ojeh Was a Proud Dad

Jones and Ojeh shared three children. In a tribute on Today, cohost Craig Melvin reflected on watching his late friend as a parent.
“One thing he always talked about — he talked about those kids. He loved those kids more than anything else in this world, and was just so proud,” Melvin said. “He was that dad who was on the sidelines at every soccer game. He was at all the concerts, the recitals. He was that guy, and they had such a beautiful love story.”

Uche Ojeh Tried Athletic Pursuits
Jones congratulated her husband for running his first triathlon race.
“I think it’s so important to celebrate the wins of the people you love — this weekend it was all about ‘The Uche’s,’” Jones wrote via Instagram in October 2023. “My youngest son’s soccer team took first in their tournament. Meanwhile dad a.k.a. big Uche — conquered a triathlon. It’s something he’s always wanted to do …. and he trained really hard for it. I’ve watched both of them, day in and day out, running and kicking balls all over the place. It all paid off.”
She continued, “The rest of us in the house (me, Kayin & Clara) are super proud of them.”
Uche Ojeh Battled an ‘Aggressive’ Form of Glioblastoma
Five months after Jones took a sabbatical from her Today duties following an undisclosed family matter, her colleagues revealed in May 2025 that Ojeh died at age 45.
According to Guthrie, Ojeh had navigated a “courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma.”
According to the Mayo Clinic, glioblastoma starts when cancerous cells grow in the brain or spinal cord. It can spread quickly, destroying healthy tissue in the process.
