Jessi Draper is facing a significant life change as her husband, Jordan Ngatikaura, filed for divorce on March 19, 2026, after five years of marriage. This decision comes amid a backdrop of reported emotional abuse and previous separations, raising serious concerns about the couple’s relationship dynamics.
The couple, who married on October 8, 2020, share three children: a son and a daughter together, as well as Jordan’s daughter from a previous relationship. Their marriage has been marked by public ups and downs, including a notable 90-day separation in 2025.
In his statement, Jordan expressed, “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 emphasized his commitment to handling the divorce with kindness and respect, stating, “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, 33, has built a multimillion-dollar hairstyling brand and academy, which may play a significant role in the financial discussions ahead. The couple’s home was listed for sale in November 2025, indicating preparations for their separation.
Jessi has previously spoken about the emotional toll of her marriage, 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 insight sheds light on the complexities of their relationship.
As the divorce proceedings unfold in a Utah court, custody and financial support discussions are expected to dominate their future interactions. Jordan has reiterated his desire to prioritize their children’s well-being during this transition.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the specific terms of the divorce, but the couple’s history suggests a challenging road ahead. With both parties focused on their children, the outcome of this high-profile separation will be closely watched.
