The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Miranda Hope has formally filed for divorce from her estranged husband Chase McWhorter, more than two years after their separation.

Miranda, 28, quietly filed the divorce paperwork in Utah on September 21, 2026, according to court documents obtained by People on Tuesday, November 10.

Miranda and Chase, 31, got married in 2017 and separated in 2024. The former couple shares two young children.

Although Miranda submitted her divorce petition privately, court records reportedly show that she also filed paperwork related to child support and required classes.

The U.S. Sun was first to report the divorce filing on Monday, November 9.

Miranda and Chase subsequently confirmed the news in a joint statement to People, making light of the fact that their marriage had been over for quite some time.

"After much thought and consideration, we've decided to finally let the government in on the worst-kept secret: we're not together," the exes said.

"We understand this news may come as a shock to absolutely no one, and hope everyone can take the time they need to process during this incredibly predictable time."

Miranda and Chase continued, "We hope this officially puts the Ross and Rachel comparisons to rest. Please direct all further questions to our attorneys, who are thrilled we're finally getting around to this."

Chase also poked fun at the delay in making their split legal in a TikTok video on Monday, attributing the two-year wait to "laziness."

Miranda, however, pointed out in the comments that she was the one who had handled the divorce paperwork.

"'Laziness.' Yeahhh I'm the one that had to fill out all the paperwork and such," Miranda wrote.

Miranda then jokingly informed Chase that she planned to take "everything" in their divorce.

"Sorry this is how you're finding out," she added.

Chase played along, replying, "This is fine just let me have some of ur cosmetic PR so I can feel cute. Thx."

But Chase took a more serious approach to discussing the end of his marriage in another TikTok video on Tuesday, November 10.

Chase admitted that he had been a "f---ing loser" during his marriage to Miranda and acknowledged that their separation had actually made her life easier.

"Negating me from the equation really only made things easier for her," Chase said.

"I applaud her for doing so. I, 31 years old, learning things that I probably should have at 21. That's on me. That's my bad. But better late than never."

Miranda and Chase issued their divorce statement only days after fellow Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck had filed for divorce from her husband of seven years, Zac Affleck, while pregnant with their fourth child.

Jen -- who also competed on Dancing with the Stars' 34th season -- is going to star on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County spinoff, which had been announced by Hulu in April 2026.

Miranda and Chase's relationship troubles have been documented on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and Miranda also addressed their failed marriage through music earlier this year.

Miranda released a country breakup song titled "FU4THAT" over the summer, and she confirmed that Chase had inspired the track.

The song includes lyrics accusing an ex of infidelity, including, "You should be committed for your insanity / The only thing you were committed to was infidelity."

Despite the unflattering lyrics, Miranda said Chase wasn't upset about being the subject of her song.

"He is stoked to consider himself a muse of some sort, which, yeah, very Chase of him," Miranda told People with a laugh.

"He was immediately a fan."

Miranda also previously acknowledged that her relationship with Chase hadn't been "seamless," but she believed they had managed to establish the "best case scenario for co-parenting and for being divorced."

"I guess it's a form of taking rotten lemons and turning it into some sort of sweet lemonade," Miranda said of channeling her breakup into music.

"As unfortunate as it is that our relationship didn't work out, at the same time -- it tastes like vinegar to say this -- it brought me to where I am."

Miranda hinted in September 2026, about a month into filming The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' sixth season, that she may be done with the Hulu reality series. She hinted at her departure shortly after Taylor Frankie Paul and Mikayla Matthews both announced their exits.

Whitney Leavitt is also finished with Mormon Wives and will be starring in a new Hulu reality series of her own, Deadline reported.

There has been tension amongst the fifth-season cast of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast for months. Taylor apologized for belittling her co-stars' achievements earlier this year.
