Jessi Draper is once again making headlines for her evolving relationship status with Vanderpump Villa star Marciano Brunette, after the pair were spotted sharing a kiss at Hulu’s Get Real House event in Los Angeles.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star addressed the speculation shortly after the appearance, confirming that she is currently single and casually dating while navigating life post-separation from her estranged husband, Jordan Ngatikaura. Speaking about Marciano, she described him as “one on the roster,” adding that she is “one of many” and not exclusive with anyone at the moment.

Jessi and Marciano’s connection has been at the center of ongoing reality TV drama since their initial involvement during a past crossover event between Vanderpump Villa and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Their relationship was previously described as an emotional affair that included kissing while Jessi was separated from her husband, a storyline that has continued to unfold across both shows.

The recent Hulu event appearance reignited interest in the pair after they were seen openly affectionate, with eyewitnesses and footage suggesting multiple close moments, including a kiss.

Despite the attention, Jessi has emphasized that she is focused on enjoying her independence after her separation, framing her dynamic with Marciano as part of a broader, non-exclusive dating phase rather than a committed relationship.

The situation continues to unfold as both reality stars remain in the spotlight, with their personal lives increasingly intertwined with ongoing storylines across their respective shows and public appearances.
