The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives exposes the behind-the-scenes lives of a group of glamorous Mormon moms and TikTok influencers known as “MomTok” — whose fame exploded amid a “soft-swinging” scandal.

The drama continues in this powder keg of a series, where the moms’ faith and traditional expectations clash with issues of friendship, fame, and infidelity. Plus, a flame-stoking reunion special features several of the Mormon wives and their partners.

90 Day Fiancé

The show thrives on the friction between real relationships and high-stakes logistics, capturing everything from awkward first meetings with skeptical families to explosive arguments about money, expectations, and long-distance trust.

Sister Wives

One of TLC’s longest-running reality hits, Sister Wives follows the Brown family as patriarch Kody attempts to balance life with multiple wives and a sprawling group of 18 children.

Over the years, viewers have watched the relationships between Kody and Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn shift dramatically, transforming the show from a portrait of plural marriage into one of reality TV’s most drawn-out family sagas.
