‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Mikayla and Jace Split… Shocking Reason for Breakup

In Disney+’s hit series ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’, stars Mikayla Matthews and Jace Terry have officially split. In the latest episode released on the 12th (local time), the couple announced that they would go their separate ways due to serious intimacy issues in their marriage.

◆ Key reason for the breakup… Sexual abuse trauma and emotional disconnection

The main background of this breakup is revealed to be Mikayla’s past wounds and the resulting disconnection in their relationship. Mikayla confessed on the show that she experienced sexual abuse in her childhood, explaining that physical contact, such as ‘kissing’, serves as a painful trigger for her. This has led to a long-standing halt in both physical and emotional connection between the two.

◆ Refusal of trauma treatment and dramatic decision to separate

Husband Jace Terry attempted to improve their relationship by suggesting trauma-focused therapy to Mikayla, but she rejected it, stating, “I have already reached my limit.” She staged a dramatic scene by packing her bags and leaving the house, expressing the need to find herself outside of her responsibilities as a wife. Jace expressed a firm stance, saying, “I want the children to grow up seeing a healthy and intimate connection between their parents,” and indicated that he would maintain a separation until Mikayla is ready to commit to the relationship.

◆ From marriage in 2018 to now… The collapse of 8 years

Mikayla and Jace drew attention when they got married in March 2018, just six months after the birth of their first child. They maintained their family for about 8 years, but this series has revealed the deep rift that had been hidden between the couple. Mikayla has left the possibility of reconciliation open, but Jace has shown skepticism about continuing a relationship without emotional connection, leading to a prevailing analysis that they are effectively on the path to divorce.
