Jessi Draper<\/strong><\/a> and Marciano Brunette<\/strong> made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2026 American Music Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Draper, 34, was joined by the Vanderpump Villa<\/em> star, 33, at the awards show<\/a> held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Nevada on Monday, May 25. The pair wore coordinated black ensembles. Draper stunned in a black gown with white ruffles at the bottom while Brunette sported a black sports coat and slacks.<\/p>\n

Brunette held the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/em><\/a> star close as they posed for photos. At one point Brunette gave Draper a peck on the head.<\/p>\n

Draper and Brunette met when the cast of Mormon Wives<\/em> traveled to Italy to film for Vanderpump Villa<\/em> season 2 in 2024 . Brunette works as a server on the Lisa Vanderpum<\/strong>p-led reality series which aired in April 2025.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMarciano Brunette had plenty to say about the future of Jessi Draper and Jordan Ngatikaura\u2019s marriage just months before their split. \u201cJordan is a good person that cares about his family,\u201d Brunette, 33, who had an emotional affair with Draper, also 33, during her marriage to Ngatikaura, 28, exclusively told Us Weekly at The Vanderpump [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At the time of filming, Draper was married to ex Jordan Ngatikaura<\/strong>. However, Draper formed a close bond to Brunette while she was abroad. While she downplayed their connection at first, Draper later admitted to having an emotional affair with Brunette.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had been dealing with the affair for about six months behind closed doors. No one knew. During those six months, it got worse than it ever had. He was blackmailing me. He was threatening to send my texts to Marciano out to the world,\u201d Draper claimed on \u201cThe Viall Files\u201d podcast in November 2025, claiming that it was addressed on the show but didn\u2019t make the final edit. \u201cAnytime I did anything he didn\u2019t agree with, he had it on his TikTok drafts and he was like, \u2018I\u2019m going to post it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Draper and Ngatikaura split after five years of marriage. The exes share two children: son Jagger, 6, and daughter Jovi, 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart,\u201d he told Us<\/em> in a March statement. \u201cI\u2019m grateful for the shared memories and the lessons. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
