Jessi Draper is facing significant personal upheaval as her husband, Jordan Ngatikaura, filed for divorce on March 19, 2026, after five years of marriage. The couple, who married on October 8, 2020, share a son and a daughter, in addition to Jordan’s daughter from a previous relationship.
The decision to divorce comes after a tumultuous relationship marked by multiple separations, including a notable 90-day separation in 2025. Draper has publicly shared her experiences of emotional abuse during their marriage, which has contributed to the decision to end their union.
Jordan Ngatikaura has expressed his commitment to handling the divorce with kindness and respect, emphasizing that his priority remains their children. He stated, “While our paths are now moving in different directions, my priority remains my children and ensuring they feel loved, supported, and protected through this transition.”
The couple’s home was listed for sale in November 2025, indicating a significant shift in their living arrangements as they navigate this change. Draper, who is 33 years old, has built a multimillion-dollar hairstyling brand and academy, which may play a role in the financial discussions to come.
Jordan has requested privacy during this challenging time, saying, “I kindly ask for privacy and understanding as we navigate this as a family.” Meanwhile, Draper has reflected on her experiences, stating, “It starts off slow. It’s not like one big dramatic thing happens. It’s little behaviors over time, and then all of a sudden you look back and you’re too deep in it and you can’t do much about it.”
As the divorce proceedings unfold, custody and financial support discussions are expected to dominate their future interactions. The couple’s relationship has been marked by public ups and downs, and this latest development adds another chapter to their story.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the specific terms of the divorce and the potential impact on their children. As both parties prepare for the next steps, the focus will likely be on ensuring a stable environment for their children amidst the changes.
