Jessi Draper is facing a pivotal moment in her life as her husband, Jordan Ngatikaura, filed for divorce on March 19, 2026. This decision marks the end of their five-year marriage, which began on October 8, 2020, and has been characterized by both public highs and lows.
The couple shares three children: a son and a daughter together, as well as Jordan’s daughter from a previous relationship. Their family dynamics have been complicated, particularly as they experienced multiple separations, including a notable 90-day separation in 2025.
Throughout their marriage, Jessi has reported experiencing emotional abuse, which has contributed to the decision to end their relationship. In light of the divorce, Jordan has expressed a commitment to handling the situation with kindness and respect, emphasizing that his priority remains their children during this transition.
Jordan stated, “This has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart. I’m grateful for the shared memories and the lessons.” He further added, “While our paths are now moving in different directions, my priority remains my children and ensuring they feel loved, supported, and protected through this transition.”
Jessi Draper, now 33 years old, is known for her multimillion-dollar hairstyling brand and academy, which may influence her financial independence post-divorce. The couple’s home was listed for sale in November 2025, indicating preparations for this new chapter.
Jessi has shared insights into the emotional toll of her experiences, stating, “It starts off slow. It’s not like one big dramatic thing happens. It’s little behaviors over time, and then all of a sudden you look back and you’re too deep in it and you can’t do much about it.” This perspective sheds light on the complexities of their relationship.
As the divorce proceedings unfold in a Utah court, discussions surrounding custody and financial support will likely dominate their future. Both parties are expected to navigate these challenges while prioritizing the well-being of their children.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the specific terms of the divorce and how the couple plans to manage co-parenting moving forward. As Jessi Draper embarks on this new chapter, the implications for her personal and professional life remain to be seen.
