According to People, a temporary restraining order has been filed in the couple's divorce proceedings.

"Court documents obtained by PEOPLE show that Ngatikaura filed for the restraining order on March 20. Draper opposed the order that same day. The Sun was first to report the news," People reported. "Ngatikaura did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. A representative for Draper declined to comment."

If you missed it, Jordan filed for divorce on March 19. The ink on that filing isn't even dry yet, so the timinig of the temporary restraining order is certainly interesting.

"This has not been an easy decision and it comes with a heavy heart," Jordan told People after filing for divorce. "I'm 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. I am committed to handling this next chapter with kindness and respect."

Jessi Draper Has Previously Claimed Emotional Abuse From Jordan Ngatikaura

When speaking with People in November 2025, Jessi claimed that Jordan had been emotionally abusive toward her.

"As soon as it started happening, I was like, 'Oh, this isn't super normal,' but also, you're kind of used to it," Jessi said. "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."

Jordan has since taken "full accountability" for any pain he's caused his soon-to-be ex-wife.

"Over the past year, I've been in consistent therapy and doing the hard work to understand the impact of my actions and to grow into a healthier, safer, and more self-aware person," he said.

All we know for sure is that if The Secret Lives of Moemon Wives comes back for another season, it's going to be explosive.
