• In an exclusive clip of the podcast shared with PEOPLE ahead of the episode’s June 4 release, the reality TV star reveals her “biggest fear” in dating after her split from husband Jordan Ngatikaura

Jessi Draper is stepping into the dating world after her split.

Following her separation from her husband Jordan Ngatikaura, 28, in March, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, 34, has been exploring new romantic connections — and in a forthcoming episode of the podcast He Said, G Said, she opens up about some of her anxieties around dating.

In an exclusive clip shared with PEOPLE ahead of the episode’s June 4 release, host and Love Is Blind alum Giannina Gibelli asks Draper, “Is that what you’re looking for in a partner — someone who is also family oriented?”

Draper — who shares children Jagger, 6, and Jovi, 3, with Ngatikaura — responds, “Oh my gosh, yeah. I mean, I have two kids, so, I wouldn’t be opposed to dating someone without kids as long as they are open to taking on two kids.”

“I think my biggest fear is I don’t know if I want more,” continues the reality TV star. “But if I marry someone who doesn’t have one but wants one, I’ll do it.”

Since Ngatikaura filed for divorce in March, Draper has had several buzzy romantic moments with suitors in her orbit.

Later that month, she raised eyebrows when she shared a kiss with Chase McWhorter — notably the ex of Draper’s Mormon Wives costar Miranda Hope — though she quickly took accountability for the move by sending Hope apology flowers and a note that read, “I completely understand you being upset with me.”

“The thing with Chase is that we had a connection and I was in a vulnerable state and he was really there for me after the divorce,” she later said of the kiss during an appearance on Hulu’s Get Real podcast in May. “MomTok was falling apart during that time — this was when all of the news was breaking — and none of the girls were really talking, and so I was kind of leaning on him, which was the wrong idea.”

Draper also made headlines in April when she was spotted having a cozy night out with former fling Marciano Brunette, 33, with whom she previously admitted to having an emotional affair during her marriage with Ngatikaura.

The pair even made their red carpet debut at the 2026 AMAs last month, posing for photos arm-in-arm and speaking to several news outlets as a couple.

But in an interview with PEOPLE on the red carpet, Draper clarified that she was still “single” — adding that she and Brunette were “just spending time together.”

“I’m going through a divorce, so I’m not trying to be in anything serious,” added the internet personality. “We had a connection, so we’re just revisiting that. And he’s really been there for me. He knows my history — what I’ve been through — and we’re having fun right now.”

“I’m having fun,” added Brunette, cheekily.
