Aspyn Ovard has been sharing her life online with fans for more than a decade as a content creator and YouTube vlogger. However, she’s revealing things she’s never shared publicly before onThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, including health news about one of her three children.
In recent years, Aspyn has pulled back on what she shares on social media and no longer publicly posts her three daughters, whom she shares with ex-husband Parker Ferris. Part of that may be because one of her daughters was diagnosed with cancer, which Aspyn revealed for the first time in the Mormon Wives: OC premiere.
It came during her and Parker’s session with a therapist. “I’m so sick of unrealistic nitpicking because you are mad that our f**king life ended,” Aspyn said to Parker (they divorced in 2024). “You are so mad and grieving so hard that our life with our children is over. And now you grasp onto anything that you can to distract yourself from the grief of the fact that our daughter is going to die. You know that’s true.”
In a confessional, Aspyn sobbed as she shared a little more about her daughter’s diagnosis. “Everything happened just … so out of nowhere,” she explained. “One day she was OK and the next day she wasn’t. At the hospital, we’re like, ‘It has to be fine.’ You can’t fathom they’re actually going to tell you that your baby has cancer and that it’s terminal and she could be gone in a month. Like, we don’t know.”
Aspyn said she and her family have “been living like that for over three years, just having no idea” what’s going to happen. She didn’t specify which daughter is sick or what kind of cancer she has. Aspyn and Parker’s eldest daughter, Cove, was born in 2019, followed by Lola in 2021, and Elle in 2024.
The reality star told Parker to “stop making everything miserable” between them when their life is already so sad. “My marriage was nowhere near in a place to make it through something like this,” she admitted. “We weren’t even going to make it through before this happened. It’s just so toxic and hard. And through all of it, I feel like I still just tried to take care of him because I know how hard he’s grieving.”
Aspyn explained to Parker that she wants to “make as much money as possible” so they can take as much time to themselves as necessary if something inevitably happens to their daughter. “So we can not have to do anything when we are grieving like no human ever should, so both you and I don’t have to work,” she told her ex.
When Parker questioned whether she would actually help him out with the money she’s earned, she insisted, “You know I will always take care of you because I always have. When everything goes to s**t and things get really hard, I don’t want you to have to do anything. If you want your parents flown out here, if you want to go home, if you want to move, if you need anything, you know I will take care of you because I always have. Why do you not understand that?”
Throughout the rest of the season, Parker and Aspyn got to a better place. They even put on a united front to get tattoos in honor of their daughter. Bri Davis and Billy Davis, the married couple Aspyn is in a throuple with, also got tattoos for the child.
