YouTube creator and reality television personality Aspyn Ovard has publicly detailed the hidden conflict that ended her marriage to Parker Ferris while introducing viewers to her current three-person relationship on the November 12, 2026 premiere of Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County. During the series debut, the 30-year-old influencer alleged that the "10-year secret" behind her April 2024 divorce filing was Ferris secretly drinking alcohol throughout their relationship, despite telling her he was sober. Alongside addressing the collapse of her marriage and a separate family medical crisis on camera, Ovard used the spinoff premiere to showcase her romantic partnership with married couple Bri and Billy Davis.

The '10-Year Secret' Behind the 2024 Divorce

For months following her split, Ovard referenced a decade-long betrayal by her ex-husband without specifying the exact nature of the offense. In coverage of the series premiere by Parade, Ovard identified that secret on screen, alleging that Ferris had been drinking privately behind her back throughout their marriage despite her strong opposition to alcohol and her belief that he maintained sobriety.

While Parade notes the couple married in 2015, multiple outlets including E! Online report that Ovard filed for divorce after approximately eight years of marriage. According to E! News, Ovard officially filed to end the marriage on April 1, 2024—the exact same day she announced the birth of their third daughter, Elle.

The reality series also captures the perspective of her former spouse. According to a secondary report from SSBCrack News, Ferris addressed the drinking allegation in a subsequent episode, stating that Ovard had previously warned him they would divorce if he ever drank alcohol.

Inside Ovard's Throuple With Bri and Billy Davis

Following the end of her marriage, Ovard shifted her romantic focus and began exploring her sexuality. According to Page Six, Ovard wanted to date a woman after her divorce and connected with Bri Davis through Instagram a year and a half prior to the show's debut.

"Being in a throuple is something I never pictured myself doing before," Ovard admitted in a preview clip shared by Yahoo Entertainment.

She explained in a confessional that the dynamic began when Bri asked if she wanted to be "friends with benefits," adding, "It was supposed to be casual, and then here we are; it is not casual."

Reports differ slightly on how Bri's husband, Billy Davis, became integrated into the romance. According to Page Six, Bri and Billy met in middle school, began dating at ages 15 and 16, and married at 21 and 22. After having "a million conversations" so Bri could explore her sexuality, the couple—who reportedly relocated from New Jersey to California—decided to open their marriage without planning to form an actual relationship with a third person, before they "just kind of fell into it" with Ovard. Meanwhile, E! Online and TV Insider report that after Bri reached out following Ovard signaling her queer identity online, it was Ovard who suggested, "What if we all hung out?"

to bring the nurse's husband into the fold.

"I swore I would never ever be with a man again, but the three of us hung out together and we just really clicked right away," Ovard stated in the Page Six preview. In a June 2026 YouTube Q&A, Ovard clarified how she views the commitment in response to comments stating she is dating a married couple: "Technically, that's not wrong to say, but that is not what's in my brain. It's just like, these are my partners. None of us feel like we're dating."

Speaking with E! Online ahead of the premiere, Ovard noted why she wanted the partnership documented on television. "There's a lot of different arcs of my life that are shared on the show," she said. "But I am excited to be representation of a different kind of relationship.

Because there's just not a lot out there, and it's easy to share for me. And I know it's not easy for everybody."

A Separate Family Crisis Revealed on Camera

While the secret drinking allegation and her new partners represent major storylines, Ovard also disclosed a separate, severe family crisis during the series premiere. According to TV Insider, Ovard revealed during a televised therapy session with Ferris that one of their three daughters was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Ovard and Ferris share three children: Cove (born in 2019), Lola (born in 2021), and Elle (born in 2024). Media outlets report differing current ages for the older children—Page Six lists the girls as ages 7, 5, and 2, whereas Parade lists them as 6, 4, and 2.

Having pulled back from posting her children on social media in recent years, Ovard did not specify on the program which daughter received the diagnosis or the specific type of cancer.

"You can't fathom they're actually going to tell you that your baby has cancer and that it's terminal and she could be gone in a month," Ovard said in an emotional confessional reported by TV Insider, adding that the family has "been living like that for over three years, just having no idea" what will happen next.

During the therapy scene, Ovard stated that her marriage to Ferris "was nowhere near in a place to make it through something like this" and was already struggling before the diagnosis occurred.

She told Ferris on camera that her goal in filming and working is to "make as much money as possible" so that neither parent will have to work when they are grieving.
