Throughout season three of the reality show, the couple opened up about their marital troubles, which largely focused on their intimacy issues; Mikayla was unpacking her childhood sexual-abuse trauma, while Jace wanted to have more intimacy. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vulture.com\/article\/the-secret-lives-of-mormon-wives-recap-season-4-episode-1-hulu.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Season four<\/a>, out now on Hulu, has the same problems for the pair but amplified. \u201cIt\u2019s so incredible that everyone\u2019s getting these opportunities and going out and living their dreams, but my health has held me back from saying \u2018yes\u2019 to a lot of opportunities. It\u2019s definitely discouraging and frustrating, and it kind of holds me back in other places in my life, like my marriage with Jace,\u201d she explained in season four, per <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/mikayla-matthews-and-jace-terry-decide-to-separate-amid-intimacy-issues-11922788\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">People<\/a>. \u201cIntimacy is really important for me.

Later, Mikayla moves out of the couple\u2019s shared home, with hopes of reconciling after she heals from her past trauma and chronic illness. The two have been married since 2018 and share four kids; she\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/who-is-jace-terry-mikayla-matthews-11924812\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">confirms<\/a>, as of season four\u2019s airing, that she\u2019s still separated from Jace. \u201cUnfortunately, I think it\u2019s just something that\u2019s going to take a lot more time,\u201d she concluded. \u201cI feel like that\u2019s all I can say on it now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Mikayla Matthews has separated from her husband, Jace Terry.
