The first look at The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 3 is giving fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the drama brewing on set—including a steamy kiss between two of the stars.
Exclusive photos obtained by DailyMail.com show the cast filming in Los Angeles, following the massive success of the first two seasons.
Since its debut in September 2024, the Hulu series has become a pop-culture phenomenon, chronicling a group of young Mormon influencer moms navigating their patriarchal faith while living outrageously glamorous lives.
In a surprising moment, Whitney Leavitt and Demi Engemann were photographed sharing a kiss while perched atop a classic Mercedes, both rocking black sports bras and mini skirts.
They were joined by Layla Taylor, who posed alongside them, adding to the sizzling on-set energy.
The unexpected scene has already sparked buzz among viewers, hinting at new romantic storylines and dramatic twists in the upcoming season.

The set photos comes nearly two weeks after one of the stars was accused of ‘endangering’ her baby after involving the newborn in a risky internet challenge inspired by Nicki Minaj’s High School music video.
Mikayla Matthews, who lives in the US state of Utah, rose to fame as a ‘Mormon influencer’, amassing more than two million followers on TikTok even before she appeared on Hulu’s reality TV show Mormon Wives in September 2024.
The 25-year-old mother-of-four and husband Jace Terry welcomed the latest addition to their family, Lottie June, on July 17.
In a short clip published on TikTok and Instagram earlier this week, Mikayla is seen attempting a viral challenge that requires someone to balance on the narrow heel of one of their stiletto shoes.
Mikayla, however, complicated the already precarious challenge by attempting it from atop a platform while wearing a blindfold and cradling Lottie June in her arms – and has faced a backlash as a result.
In the video captioned ‘How it feels balancing postpartum and four kids with being the breadwinner’, the influencer managed to balance for a few seconds before losing her footing and coming off the platform.
While Mikayla did not fall to the ground – and little Lottie June remained peaceful in her arms – many viewers appeared to be alarmed by Mikayla’s clip, with several criticising her for compromising her baby’s safety.
One person wrote: ‘Why does everyone think this is ok… If she fell her newborn would be seriously hurt… Bizarre behaviour just for the clicks’.
Another added: ‘Girl this ain’t it. Don’t put your newborn baby in a position to get hurt privately, or socially…’

Meanwhile, all of the #MomTok women are expected to return for season 3, including Taylor Frankie Paul, Whitney, Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Matthews, Demi, Jessi Ngatikaura, Jen Affleck, Layla, and Miranda McWhorter, who rejoins the series as a returning original #MomTok member
While a third weighed with: ‘I’d rather see someone doing a dance about their baby in a hospital than endangering their baby in any way. Wtaf?!’

While the full cast is set to appear in some capacity, the extent of Jen Affleck’s involvement remains unclear.
In episode 6 of season 2, Jen stepped away from filming to prioritize her mental health, amid struggles with marital challenges and prenatal depression after learning she was pregnant with her third child.
Fans are eager to see if she will return to the screen or continue to take a step back from the spotlight.
