Jessi Ngatikaura from ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Suggests She’s Using Ozempic
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast member Jessi Ngatikaura appears to have hinted at being on Ozempic.
Her husband, Jordan Ngatikaura, shared a recent TikTok in which he orders a complex coffee drink for Jessi. At the video’s conclusion, he presented the drink to Jessi, 33, while detailing its ingredients.
“Large iced islander with half chocolate milk and half breve, white coffee, and cookies and cream soft top,” he described. “Give it a good chug.”
However, Jessi mentioned she couldn’t consume the drink rapidly, stating, “I’m on Ozempic. I can’t.”
Although Jessi did not elaborate further, she joins a growing list of celebrities and reality stars who have discussed using some variation of semaglutide for weight loss. These FDA-approved injections are designed for type 2 diabetes patients managing weight but have gained popularity among Hollywood figures.
The TikTok provided fans with insight into Jordan’s relationship with Jessi amid recent infidelity rumors involving Vanderpump Villa’s Marciano Brunette. Season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which debuted in May, started with Demi Engemann facing accusations of getting too close to Marciano, 32, while filming Vanderpump Villa, despite her marriage to Bret Engemann.
Demi, 30, denied any unfaithfulness. Marciano made separate claims regarding his relationship with Jessi, who admitted she was not wearing her wedding ring at that time. Nonetheless, she has continued to display her love for Jordan.
“Every relationship has its ups and downs. But being on reality TV puts everything under a microscope, and everyone observes everything and has opinions. It’s challenging not to let it affect your friendships, relationships, and family life,” Jessi revealed to Us Weekly in June. “That was certainly difficult.”
She further stated, “Now that we’ve wrapped filming for a while, I’m focusing on my family, my kids, and getting back on track. Hopefully, I’ll be in a better mental space for when we film again — if we do.”
Jessi noted it wasn’t straightforward to have marital issues spotlighted during the season.
“It was definitely challenging. I often say Taylor [Frankie Paul] has been really open with the audience about her relationship and life. I believe viewers will see much more of that from me next season. Thankfully, I had her as a guide,” she shared. “Filming the next season was likely the hardest period of my life. I believe it will help a lot of people. I’m eager to share my story and support women through similar experiences. It’s going to be beneficial, as tough as it may be.”
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is currently available for streaming on Hulu.
