#661 - Chase McWhorter - Controversial ex husband stars on hit TV series Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

In this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with local legend and breakout reality-TV personality Chase McWhorter, one of the most talked-about husbands on Hulu’s hit series Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Fresh off Season 3, Chase opens up about being edited as the “villain,” relives the infamous Halloween party, and breaks down the moments viewers only see in fragments on screen.

From public backlash to being labeled “America’s fuck-boy” while trying to show up as a dad, Chase shares the unfiltered version of his story—what he owns, what he regrets, and what people get wrong about him off-camera. Jimmy and Chase dive into accountability, consent, and how exaggerated accusations hurt real victims. They talk about infidelity, “yellow-light” behaviors that lead to cheating, and why radical honesty is the only path to rebuilding trust—in marriage, friendship, and co-parenting. Chase discusses his Mormon upbringing, stepping away from the LDS Church, and working to maintain a healthy relationship with his ex-wife Miranda, while Jimmy connects it all back to men’s work, healing modalities, and becoming a man capable of real connection.

If you’re fascinated by Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, interested in modern relationships under scrutiny, or just want to hear two guys talk honestly about the messiness of growth—this episode delivers.
