The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County is now streaming on Hulu. It was released on November 12. It is a spinoff, meaning a new show built around people from an existing series. The parent show is set in Utah, and this one moves the story to Orange County, California.

The cast includes Aspyn Ovard, Bobbi Althoff, Avery Woods, Salomé Andrea, McCall DaPron and Jordan McClanahan. Ovard spoke to Variety over Zoom, a video call, from a hotel room in West Hollywood. She was 30 at the time of the interview.

Ovard first became known on YouTube under the name HauteBrilliance. She later built a following on Instagram and TikTok. She was born in Utah and married Parker Ferris by the age of 19. The couple have three daughters: Cove, Lola and Elle.

Ovard filed for divorce from Ferris in 2024, after the birth of their youngest child. Soon after, she met Bri Davis. Ovard is now in a throuple, a relationship between three people, with Davis and Davis's husband, Billy.

The most serious thread in the series comes from a couples therapy session. In that session, it is revealed that one of Ovard and Ferris's daughters has terminal cancer. Ovard does not name which daughter is ill in the episode.

Hulu representatives asked that Ovard not be questioned about her children and their health during the interview. The request is a reminder that the family's medical situation is private, even as it appears on screen.

For viewers, the news arrives in the middle of a reality show, not in a news bulletin. The episode shows the moment in a therapy room, and Ovard has chosen to talk about her life on camera. Anyone who wants to know more about the child's condition will have to wait for the family to say more themselves.
