Jen is another member of MomTok, although her position in the group was thrown into question after there was the possibility of her moving to New York City, but it seems she is still very much a member of the group.

Miranda McWhorter is a newcomer to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives who was an original MomTok content creator.

More specifically, she was in the original trio with Taylor Frankie Paul and Camille Munday. Miranda is recently divorced, which was a key reason for her being part of season 2, having turned down the opportunity to appear in season 1 when she was still married.

"I’m no longer married; that was a big part of it for sure," McWhorter told The Hollywood Reporter. "I still had a lot of healing to do in season 1 regarding my past with Taylor, and I wasn’t sure at that time if I was ready to let that back in and potentially risk putting myself in that position again to be so hurt.

"And I think I’ve done a lot of healing since then, and by the time season 2 was about to start, I was divorced and just really wanting to close the chapter of the whole swinging thing and my past."

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives seasons 1 and 2 are available to watch on Disney+ now. Sign up to Disney+ now for £4.99 per month or £79.90 for a full year.
