Mikayla Matthews, known widely as a ‘momfluencer’, has stirred interest in her relationship status following her separation from husband Jace Terry. The couple disclosed their decision to part ways during the latest season of the reality programme, *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives*. Recent TikTok activity from Matthews has led fans to speculate about the nature of their relationship.
In a playful TikTok video posted on March 22, Matthews lip-synced to a clip featuring fellow influencer Mikayla Noguiera announcing her own divorce. As Matthews pretended to share her own divorce news, she added a cheeky remark, “Take a minute. Take it in,” before turning to shoo Jace away as he entered the frame. The video, coupled with a caption highlighting her love for Taco Bell, has left some fans speculating whether it was a genuine announcement or merely a joke.

Upon posting, viewers quickly took to the comments section, inquiring whether Matthews was truly revealing her divorce or merely engaging in a bit of ‘trolling’ for social media laughs. Responding to the curiosity, she shared an image of a sweating Jordan Peele from a well-known Key & Peele sketch, further confusing her audience.
The revelation of their separation on *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives* also revealed the couple’s challenges, particularly relating to intimacy issues that were a central theme in the previous season. In Season 3, Matthews and Terry focused heavily on navigating their relationship difficulties. However, in Season 4, Mikayla admitted little progress had been made, exacerbated by her recent postpartum journey and persistent health challenges.
“My health has held me back from saying yes to a lot of opportunities,” Matthews disclosed in a confessional segment of the show. “It’s definitely discouraging and frustrating, and it kind of holds me back in other places in my life, like my marriage with Jace.”

While navigating these challenges, Jace sought support from fellow fathers in the online community, DadTok, discussing their stagnant relationship with fellow dads, candidly expressing his frustration over their lack of progress.
Mikayla later confirmed that the couple had reached an agreement to separate, revealing during a packed discussion with Jace that she hoped to focus on her personal development outside her responsibilities as a wife. Jace voiced his disappointment over her reluctance to pursue trauma therapy, which he believed would help mend their relationship issues.
In an interview with *PEOPLE*, Matthews expanded on the complexities of their situation, reflecting on the trauma she had begun to address. “Last season, we dove into the beginning stages of it, and that was me revisiting all this trauma for the first time as well,” she shared, emphasising the challenges both she and Jace face as they navigate this process in their lives.
Despite the strains, recent months have seen the couple appearing together at various public events, suggesting that they may still be on amicable terms. The duo attended the opening night of Leavitt’s Broadway debut in Chicago earlier this year, along with their children, and Matthews even included Jace in a light-hearted Valentine’s Day post, showcasing the playful dynamic they have maintained.
Although the pair’s future remains uncertain, it is clear that both Matthews and Terry are endeavouring to handle their situation with a level of openness, focusing on their individual healing journeys while being present for one another as partners and co-parents.
As they navigate these turbulent times, it’s evident that Matthews and Terry are attempting to find the balance between personal growth and familial responsibilities, an ongoing theme that many viewers of *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives* have resonated with throughout the latest season.
