Jessi and Marciano have been tip-toeing around their relationship status since they admitted to having an emotional affair while Jessi was married to Jordan Ngatikaura.
After meeting on season 2 of Vanderpump Villa in 2024, Jessi downplayed her connection with Marciano. However, the twosome later revealed that they were emotionally involved.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Jessi Draper responded to a report claiming “sparks might be flying” between her and Vanderpump Villa’s Marciano Brunette. After TMZ published photos of Jessi, 33, cozying up to Marciano, also 33, on Sunday, April 19, the outlet shared the images via its Instagram account. “Looks like sparks might be […]
“Having an affair on-camera definitely shook up my life a little bit,” Jessi told Vulture in an interview published in May. “But I hope to inspire, and learn from my mistakes, and hopefully let people know that everyone does make mistakes and it’s OK.”
In the wake of the scandal, Jordan, 32, filed for divorce from Jessi in March after five years of marriage. The exes share two children: son Jagger, 6, and daughter Jovi, 3.
The following month, Jessi and Marciano sparked romance speculation after they were spotted together in Nashville and then seen kissing at Hulu’s Get Real House.

“He’s one on the roster,” Jessi told Entertainment Tonight in April, after she was photographed in Marciano’s arms. “You know, one of many.”
The pair added fuel to the fire in May when they attended the 2026 American Music Awards in Las Vegas together, posing for photos on the red carpet.
Jessi, however, denied they were an item as she spoke with reporters at the awards show.
“I’m single, going through a divorce, and dating around, having fun,” she told E! News at the time.
Marciano, for his part, revealed in early June that he was falling fast for the JZ Styles owner.
“I would say that currently we are dating, but we are not exclusive,” Marciano explained on an episode of the Hulu’s “Get Real” podcast when asked about his and Jessi’s relationship status. “Hence the point of you asking a girl to be your girlfriend. I have not done that.”
