Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Jessi Draper Reveals Why She Shared Her Plastic Surgery Journey
Jessi Draper Ngatikaura isn’t keeping this part of her life a secret.
While attending the 2026 Grammys—hosted by Trevor Noah at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena—on Feb. 1, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star detailed her decision to candidly share her recovery process after undergoing plastic surgery last month.
“I just think it’s important to be transparent,” Jessi, noting she’s “still swollen,” told Keltie Knight in an exclusive interview during Live From E!: Grammys, “because not everyone just drinks water and works out and looks 20 years younger, you know?” (For every celeb for stepped out at the 68th annual Grammy Awards, click here.)
The 33-year-old—who shares kids Jagger, 5, and Jovi, 3, with husband Jordan Ngatikaura—explained that the majority of her costars being in their 20s also weighed into her decision to go under the knife.
“I’m the oldest on my cast so I gotta keep up with the young girls,” she added, “and I’m just not afraid to show it because it’s real life.”
