A few months after Aspyn Ovard filed for divorce from Parker Ferris in 2024, she revealed that she learned of a “10-year secret” about him that he and others in her life had been keeping from her. Fans have spent more than two years guessing what Parker’s big betrayal could be, and Aspyn finally shared the truth on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County. (Warning: Spoilers for SLOMW: OC ahead.)
Parker spent his marriage to Aspyn hiding the fact that he drinks alcohol, which was extremely triggering for the content creator.
“When Parker and I were getting married, I thought we were on the same page with where we stood with drinking and smoking and things like that,” Aspyn explained in Episode 1. “My dad struggled with alcoholism, so the only version of him that I knew was some level of intoxicated. Whenever he would come home, just the sound of his work boots, it was really just a dark cloud over the house. Finding out that Parker had been drinking behind my back for years … it was literally earth-shattering.”
Aspyn got emotional as she explained that her ex-husband “went through so much to hide” his secret from her. “The fact that my husband, who is supposed to be the safest person, would do that to me and for him to know what alcoholism did to my family … to find all of this out two months after my dad died from alcoholism hurt so bad.”
Aspyn clarified to Swooon that the secret “wasn’t the reason” she divorced Parker, noting, “I was divorcing him anyway. We are just not each other’s people.”
However, she noted that the “betrayal trauma is just really, really heavy,” adding, “It really just shattered my perception of my life and my marriage before my life changed a lot a few years ago. It was a very heavy thing for me, even though people might not think that it is.”
She also admitted that Parker’s drinking is still “a little bit of an issue” between them as they coparent their three daughters together.
Aspyn is now in a relationship with Bri Davis and Billy Davis, a married couple who she’s been in a throuple with since fall 2024. At first, Parker was “not super happy” to hear about her new romance, Aspyn admitted to Swooon.

“I initially told him about Bri because that was how it started, and he was not really the biggest fan of that,” she said. “But I think it was just the first [relationship] post-divorce, going through everything, and that I was moving on. So I know that that was a lot. Then it was definitely a lot to accept that it’s not just Bri, but it’s another person, as well.”
However, “as time’s gone on, he’s definitely just been more accepting, which has been nice,” Aspyn added. “And I think it’s going to be something that we are all navigating for a long time. I think just in general, going through divorce and figuring out coparenting and just anything like that … we’ve never done it before, so we’re just figuring that all out.”
Currently, though, Aspyn and Parker are “in a pretty good spot right now,” she confirmed.
