But according to sources with direct knowledge, there's nothing serious going on between Miranda and Pepe, TMZ reported.

Jessi's estranged husband Jordan Ngatikaura filed for divorce from Jessi after more than five years of marriage and two kids -- son Jagger, 6, and daughter Jovi, 3 -- on March 19, only six days after Jessi dumped him, according to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star.
Jessi told E! News that she and Marciano -- who stars on Vanderpump Villa -- are also "just having fun."
Following a brief filming hiatus due to domestic violence allegations against Miranda and Jessi's SLOMW co-star Taylor Frankie Paul, the show reportedly resumed filming in May.
But The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' fifth season is going to wrap early and be brief, People reported.
A source told the magazine that only new confessionals from the cast are currently being filmed for Season 5.

"They've decided they're not going to film the rest of Season 5, but apparently they're still going to film Season 6," the source claimed.
The source clarified that The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' fifth season will only include the five episodes that taped before cameras stopped rolling in March.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives executive producer Jeff Jenkins admitted it's been "a challenging couple months" in a May 27 interview with Variety.
"But I'm very happy to say... we got the green light to start moving towards shooting the mothership again," Jeff said.
While the People source claimed Mormon Wives cameras are already rolling again, Jeff said production is "very close" to resuming and he's "excited to get back at it."

In the meantime, Taylor and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, remain in a legal battle over their two-year-old son Ever True. (Taylor also shares daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 5, with ex-husband Tate Paul.)
"I'm very hopeful that we'll be shooting with both of them or either of them very soon," Jeff noted of Taylor and Dakota.
Jeff acknowledged the rest of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast is "excited to get back in there" and resume filming.
However, Jeff admitted that "everyone in the existing cast has strong opinions" about what unfolded between Taylor and Dakota in the last two months.
"And those opinions are every perspective you can imagine," he revealed.
"It's going to be very interesting when we start back up any day now. How does that sort out? We've got to shoot together to sort it out... How is that going to impact the friendships, the relationships, and MomTok as a whole? I don't have the answer. I'm excited to see."
