Which would you want to live in?
It's amazing how far a secret can travel. In just a few years, the drama between a group of salacious Mormon housewives in Salt Lake City transformed from mere TikTok gossip into a social media sensation...and then into a national phenomenon. And now? Reality fans can't stop talking about the stars of Hulu's show, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, now entering its third season on November 13.
While most people are hypnotized by the drama between the Salt Lake City ladies, we can't stop thinking about their homes. The on-screen portrayal of the area is even starting to impact Utah's real estate scene. But what do the cast members' homes look like when the (TV) cameras aren't rolling? We did some Instagram stalking investigating to uncover glimpses of the Mormon wives' personal digs.
Off-screen, many of these ladies prefer a muted palette, light wooden accents, and an overall sleek, neutral vibe. But who knows? As their pop culture star continues to grow—Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck appear on this season of Dancing With the Stars, and Taylor Frankie Paul is poised to take the lead role on The Bachelorette this spring on ABC—we might even see a design transformation happen before our eyes. Now that's some tea you know we'll be spilling.
Though Taylor Frankie Paul is the epicenter of drama—she was the one who made headlines with her social circle's "soft swinging"—she keeps her place rather peaceful. Her Instagram feed grants a behind-the-scenes look at her home, which includes airy neutral rooms, soothing textiles, and a calming green kitchen.
Shakespeare was right: All the world really is a stage—just ask Jennifer Affleck. The Mormon wife loves having dance parties in her monochrome kitchen, which is outfitted with a glass-topped dining table, white cabinets, and a modern black chandelier.
Or she's recreating that viral Dallas Cowboys dance in her family room. This casual space features a mounted television, a vintage-inspired rug, and a light couch. (Translation: It's a solid place to enjoy a performance.)
Whitney Leavitt's dance moves aren't the only thing worthy of a standing ovation. The star recently moved to Los Angeles with her family, and her new home is the stuff of Mediterranean dreams. Peeks of Leavitt's new space include a sprawling living room with a skylight, lots of archways, and a traditional kitchen.
Mikayla Matthews has a soft spot for home accessories. Don't believe us? Just take a look at this sweet portrait of her growing family. Complete with pampas grass, white candlesticks, and a wooden-framed photo, she clearly uses well-appointed add-ons to give her space a personal feel.
Matthews gave her over one million followers an intimate look at her family's home after welcoming her newest addition, daughter Lottie. Here, we get a glimpse of her luxe waterfall island, as well as an open floor plan that connects the chef-worthy kitchen with the nearby living room—a must for a young family with four kiddos.
Mayci Neely seldom posts pictures of her home—this Mormon wife is all about sharing her hot takes on motherhood—but the glimpses we do see are light, airy, and oh-so relaxing. Case in point: This tiled kitchen is filled with brass accents, a wooden console, and some houseplants!
Hair icon Jessi shares several corners of her home with her followers, but the most enviable has to be her roomy walk-in closet. Outfitted with a gleaming chandelier, ample storage, and even a spot for glam, it's a luxe space befitting a glamorous entrepreneur.
