Attention Saints and Sinners alike: Hulu is set to unveil its newest spinoff, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, and anticipation is building. This fresh series is scheduled to hit the streaming platform later this year, bringing a blend of YouTube personalities, podcasters, and social media influencers into the spotlight.
During Hulu’s recent Get Real event, the cast lineup was revealed, featuring Bobbi Althoff, Madison Bontempo, Aspyn Ovard, Avery Woods, Salomé Andrea, Chandler Higginson, Ashleigh Pease, and McCall DaPron, sister of Mayci Neeley. While these women share the commonality of being young mothers, not all of them adhere to the Mormon faith, despite the show’s title suggesting otherwise.
Curious about the religious affiliations of the cast members of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County? Here’s a detailed look at who’s actually Mormon and who’s not.
Is Bobbi Althoff Mormon?
Bobbi Althoff, for instance, is not Mormon and has never been part of the LDS church. Known for her viral presence on TikTok and as the host of The Really Good Podcast, Bobbi discussed her Christian upbringing on Rainn Wilson’s Soul Bloom podcast. Though not a Mormon, she did follow a youthful path to marriage and motherhood, tying the knot with software engineer Cory Althoff at around 22 years old in 2020. The couple had two children before their divorce in 2024, and Bobbi is now in a relationship with basketball player Tyler Hawkins.
Who is actually Mormon in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County?
Diverging from the original Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, this new series includes women who have never been affiliated with the Mormon church. Here’s a breakdown of who among them embraces the faith and who does not:
Aspyn Ovard (Not Mormon) — Aspyn is not Mormon, but she did grow up in close proximity to the Utah Mormon community. She has even been spotted in the background of events that were filmed for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. In a 2025 episode of the Girls Camp podcast, Aspyn shared that her father grew up Mormon, and while they went to church for “the first little bit of [her] life,” it never felt like “a huge core piece” of her upbringing. After all, we’re not too sure how the LDS church would feel about her potentially being in a throuple following her divorce.
Madison Bontempo (Mormon) — Madison, who shares five children with her husband Kyler Fisher, did grow up Mormon. The successful YouTuber confirmed in an Instagram comment that she was “born and raised” in the church.
Salomé Andrea (Mormon) — Salomé opened up about her Mormon upbringing in a 2023 episode of Avery Woods’ CHEERS! podcast. “I’m Mormon, but I’m not a Utah Mormon,” she said in the podcast. While she and her husband have strayed away from traditional Mormon standards (they drink, have tattoos, and they don’t regularly attend church), she said she has her “own relationship” with the religion, and that she wouldn’t necessarily say she’s no longer Mormon. She also said she and her husband’s parents will occasionally take their twin daughters to church with them.
Avery Woods (Not Mormon) — Avery said she was the “opposite of Mormon” during her conversation with Salomé in a November 2023 episode of her CHEERS! podcast. However, she does have a sizable TikTok following, a successful podcast under Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network, and she married her husband when she was only 21 years old, so she fits the other criteria for this show.
McCall DaPron (Mormon) — McCall is likely one of the most Mormon cast members on this spinoff — she even has “LDS” in her Instagram bio. McCall, who is the older sister of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Mayci Neeley, was born and raised Mormon in Orange County, CA. She and her husband share four children.
Ashleigh Pease (Unsure) — Aside from a photo from her son’s baptism in November 2023, Ashleigh, who is originally from Australia, has not shared specific details about her religion.
Chandler Higginson (Mormon) — While Chandler has not spoken specifically about her religious background, there are a couple of telling factors that indicate she and her husband are Mormon. For one, they both graduated from Brigham Young University, which is a private Mormon college in Utah. Plus, Chandler has posted photos from her previous baby blessings, which are Mormon traditions that celebrate the birth of a baby.
