'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Zac & Jen Affleck Reportedly Have No Relation to Ben Affleck
A new member of the MomTok community is on the way.
Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jennifer Affleck recently shared she is expecting her third baby with husband Zac Affleck.
The couple shared the news Feb. 11, marveling at how unexpected the pregnancy was. “While it was a surprise,” Jennifer told People. “We both had a feeling there was another baby waiting for us.”
As for how they feel about expanding their family, as Jennifer noted, the pair are happier than ever.
“We were very excited,” she shared. “There were a lot of emotions after a crazy year.”
Jennifer and Zac are already parents to Nora, 3, and Lucas, 19 months, both of whom were “beyond excited” to learn there’s a new little one on the horizon.
However, when it comes to the sex of their future sibling, the couple’s oldest made her preferences crystal clear.
“Nora has been hoping for a little sister,” Jennifer shared of her daughter. “And I can tell she really wants it to be a girl.”
And although the couple has decided to wait to find out the baby’s sex during delivery, Jennifer hasn’t shied away from making a meditative guess of her own.
“I have a strong feeling it’s a girl,” she admitted. “I’ve dreamed about this little girl for a while now, and I truly believe she’s the one I’m carrying.”

Despite her excitement, Jennifer also opened up about how she’s been feeling amid her pregnancy journey.
“Pregnancy is already incredibly challenging both mentally and physically,” she said. “And with everything else I was juggling, there’s no doubt this has been my hardest pregnancy yet.”
“However, those moments, along with carrying this baby,” she added. “Have helped me realize what truly matters most. I’ve learned that help and resources are available if you seek them. This journey has profoundly changed me and shaped the person, mother, and friend I aspire to be.”
