Aspyn Ovard and her ex-husband, Parker Ferris, went head-to-head on the debut season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County. Where do they stand now?
Ovard, who grew a dedicated following sharing her family life on YouTube for years, filed for divorce from Ferris in 2024, calling it quits on eight years of marriage. In the months after, she alluded to the reasons for their split — indicating that Ferris had lied to her for 10 years.
But with the release of the Mormon Wives spinoff season, on which Ovard is one of the nine main cast members, the demise of their marriage is laid bare: Viewers learn that Ferris hid his alcohol consumption from her for years, which was particularly devastating to Ovard because her dad died from alcoholism.
Ovard also reveals that one of their three daughters was diagnosed with terminal cancer over three years ago, adding additional strain on their already fragile marriage.

“My marriage was nowhere near in a place to be able to make it through something like this,” Ovard admitted of her daughter’s diagnosis in a confessional. “We weren’t even gonna make it through before this happened.”
Over the season’s eight episodes, viewers see Ovard and Ferris clash on several occasions — including over Ovard’s current romantic relationship, a throuple, and their co-parenting duties.
In one particularly explosive moment, Ovard yelled at her ex-husband in a therapy session over their daughter’s illness.

“I’m so sick of unrealistic-ness,” she said. “You are mad that our f--king life ended. You are so mad and grieving so hard that our life with our children is over. And now you grasp onto anything that you can to distract yourself from the grief of the fact that our daughter is going to die.”

Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE ahead of the season’s release, Ovard says that she and Ferris are “good” despite the ups and downs they have weathered.
“Parker’s just Parker,” she says with a laugh. “We have a very interesting relationship, obviously, with everything that we have going on with our family.”

The reality TV personality acknowledges that their relationship looks “very different” from “typical co-parents”: “I will always have love for him, always wanna take care of him and make sure that he’s okay. So at the end of the day, that’s kind of just what our relationship looks like.”
Ovard continues that Ferris has progressively warmed to her relationship with partners Bri and Billy Davis — whom Ovard says “are not going anywhere.”
“It has been nice to see throughout the season that he does kind of come around a little bit to my relationship,” she says. “[Bri and Billy] are very consistent in my life and the girls’ lives and his life, too.”
