Jessi Draper Reveals Relationship Status During AMAs 2026 Date With Marciano Brunette
Draper said she is casually dating Brunette and taking her divorce one day at a time after their affair drew public attention.
- On Monday, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jessi Draper and Vanderpump Villa server Marciano Brunette made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2026 American Music Awards, wearing coordinated black ensembles at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Nevada.
- The two first connected when the Mormon Wives cast traveled to Italy in 2024 to film Vanderpump Villa season 2, where Draper formed a close bond with Brunette and later admitted to an emotional affair during her marriage to Jordan Ngatikaura.
- Behind closed doors, the couple dealt with the affair for six months before it surfaced publicly; Ngatikaura allegedly threatened to post texts between Draper and Brunette, a claim Draper discussed on The Viall Files podcast in November 2025.
- Earlier this year, Draper and Ngatikaura ended their five-year marriage and now co-parent two children: son Jagger, 6, and daughter Jovi, 3; at the AMAs, Draper told E! she is 'casually dating and living life' while processing the divorce.
- Both emphasized communication as key to moving forward; Brunette told E! the relationship is 'a blessing and I couldn't be happier,' while Draper acknowledged in a May Vulture interview that the on-camera affair 'shook up' her life.
