'Mormon Wives' Star Jennifer Affleck Teased That She Has 'Exciting Things To Share'

On Monday evening, Affleck teased on social media that she had some big news to share, "I have some exciting things to share tomorrow but before I do, I want to take a moment to reflect on my pregnancy."

Her Instagram caption continued to talk about her third pregnancy, leading some to believe maybe her "exciting" news is that the baby has arrived.

"A pregnancy I’ll never forget — one filled with surprise, hope, fear, and just about every other emotion possible. It began with the pain of saying goodbye to my grandma, someone I loved so deeply. Her death marked loss, but also a much deeper realization of needed change. Change for myself, my marriage and life in general. The coming months were filled with ups and downs. Countless therapy sessions, long nights in prayer, journaling, and some really hard conversations with myself, Zac and those around me," she wrote.

"This journey taught me that it’s okay to not be okay and, more importantly, that it’s okay to ask for help. As mothers, we pour so much into others that we forget to care for ourselves, but you can’t pour from an empty cup. I learned to lean on therapy, Zac’s support, the love of those closest to me, and my relationship with God. I am eternally grateful for those who were there for me. You’re my angels and the answers to my prayers."
