Mormon Wives’ Chase McWhorter Addresses Miranda Hope’s Divorce Filing, Explains Why It ‘Took So Long’

Courtesy of Chase McWhorter/Instagram Tap Here To Add Us Magazine As A Trusted Source The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Chase McWhorter is speaking out after Miranda Hope filed for divorce.

“All right, well, thoughts? You may have won the battle, but I will win the war,” McWhorter said in a Monday, November 9, TikTok, sharing a screenshot of a headline regarding the filing. “I’m just kidding. Obviously, I’ve known about this. [It] mostly took so long because of laziness, really. It’s really all I can chalk it up to. Biggest supporter, I promise. I’m not going to be a loser anymore.”

McWhorter then noted that he has “not dillydallied” with any of Hope’s friends for months, adding that he’s “eight months sober from the friendlies.”

“That is the bare minimum. I understand that,” he said. “But also, let’s celebrate progress. Wish you the best. This is not how I found out. Free from your shackles. Just kidding. This is all a joke.”

Hope weighed in with her thoughts on McWhorter’s video, writing in the comments section, “‘Laziness.’ Yeahhh I’m the one that had to fill out all the paperwork and such. If you read it, you would know I took everything. Sorry this is how you’re finding out.”

McWhorter then replied, “This is fine just let me have some of ur cosmetic PR so I can feel cute. Thx.”

News broke on Monday that Hope had filed for divorce from McWhorter, according to court documents obtained by The Sun. The pair announced their split in August 2024 after tying the knot seven years prior. Hope and McWhorter share son Brooks and daughter Cohen.

Since Hope and McWhorter split, the exes have continued to be amicable as coparents and reality TV stars on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

“I think we both realized that we’d gotten married a little prematurely, and that’s why our relationship still is pretty good [now], like, we’re really cordial, really friendly,” McWhorter exclusively told Us in 2024. “[I] still chat with her a lot, whenever she drops the kids off and vice versa. … I think it’s working out really well, and we’re kind of figuring out how to continue navigating that in a positive way.”

Hope has since moved on with The Montana Boyz’ Kaleb Winterburn. McWhorter, meanwhile, made headlines when he got cozy with The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Jessi Draper earlier this year. In April, Chase claimed on an episode of the “Boyfriend Material” podcast that he and Jessi had “just kissed” following her separation from Jordan Ngatikaura.
