When The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County premieres Thursday, November 12, on Hulu, the nine women on screen will bring nine very different love lives with them — and in the days before the premiere, three of them have given fans the most to talk about. Aspyn Ovard has explained how her throuple actually began. Bobbi Althoff has a boyfriend fans are only now meeting. And Salomé Andrea is expecting a baby after reconciling with her husband.
Here is where the Orange County cast’s relationships really stand as the spinoff arrives.
Aspyn Ovard: The “Friends With Benefits” DM That Started a Throuple
In an exclusive clip from the premiere, released November 9, Aspyn introduces her partners Bri and Billy Davis — and admits the arrangement was never the plan. “Being in a throuple is something I never pictured myself doing before,” she says.
It started, she explains, after her 2024 divorce from Parker Ferris, her husband of eight years and the father of her three daughters. Aspyn wanted to date a woman, met Bri on Instagram about a year and a half ago, and Bri asked her to be “friends with benefits.” “It was supposed to be casual, and then here we are; it is not casual,” Aspyn says. She then “clicked” with Bri’s husband Billy too: “I swore I would never ever be with a man again.”
Bri and Billy have been together since middle school — dating from 15 and 16, married at 21 and 22 — and opened their marriage after “a million conversations” when Bri wanted to explore her sexuality. All three appear on the show, and Aspyn’s divorce and her throuple, explained in full, is the backstory the premiere clip finally puts on screen.
Bobbi Althoff: Dating Basketball Player Tyler Hawkins
Bobbi Althoff — the podcast star whose deadpan Drake interview made her famous — has been dating basketball player Tyler Hawkins since November 2024, according to TV Insider. Hawkins plays in the NBA G League and spent time playing in Puerto Rico; in August 2026 he posted from the Miami Pro League.
YOU MAY LIKEMormon Wives: Orange County Premieres in 3 Days — Cast, How to Watch, and the Drama Already BrewingBobbi’s divorce from Cory Althoff was finalised in August 2024, after they separated in July 2023. They share two daughters, Isla and Luca, with joint legal custody and Bobbi as primary physical custodian. Bobbi Althoff, the podcast star joining the cast, arrives on Orange County as arguably its most recognisable name — and the only one whose fame came from outside reality TV entirely.
As for Drake: he guested on her podcast in July 2023, the interview was deleted a month later, and the two unfollowed each other — before reconciling on her relaunched podcast, Not This Again, in September 2025, where they explained the falling-out came from a pre-show text argument. It is unclear how much of Bobbi’s love life makes it onto Orange County.
Salomé Andrea: Reconciled — and Expecting a Third Child
Salomé Andrea and her husband, photographer Aaron Brimhall, have been married since December 2012. The couple hit a rough patch in 2025, reconciled in 2026, and announced in May 2026 that they are expecting a third child — joining twins Luca and Rue.
Of the three, Salomé’s is the quietest story — a marriage that bent and came back — but it is also the one that looks most like the show’s original promise: real couples, real strain, still together. The spinoff premieres Thursday, and all three of these love lives will be on screen from episode one.
So tell us: of the three — Aspyn’s throuple, Bobbi’s new relationship, Salomé’s reconciled marriage — whose love life are you most interested in watching on Orange County? And does a cast member have to be married to belong on a show called Mormon Wives?
