Picture this—Jayson dancing under the glimmering lights, all while intertwining his life with the wild rides of MomTok. After nine years of shaking it on stage and a pivotal role on the hit Hulu series, it’s the perfect time to dive deep and uncover the spice behind the scenes. Get ready for some juicy tales that might just change how you view both reality shows and the enchantment of Las Vegas!
If you’re a fan of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” you know exactly who Jayson is. You also know, what happens in Vegas, doesn’t always stay in Vegas.
A Chippendales dancer and host of the show for more than nine years, Jayson was featured in a few episodes of the hit Hulu reality show and hosted their live Las Vegas event in 2025. With MomTok in the news constantly and back on TV screens with a new season, The Blast thought it was a great time to catch up with Jayson to hear some of the behind-the-scenes tea he experienced while on the show (and it doesn’t disappoint one bit).
Chippendales is a Las Vegas staple. Well known and loved, the show currently performs at Planet Hollywood and has been featured in multiple reality shows over time.
When “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” producers reached out to Chippendales about filming an episode at their show, before the show was the hit that it currently is, Jayson said they were “nonchalant” about it.
“I think initially when we found out, Season 1, we were all kind of like ‘Oh what’s this, it’s a new reality show, crazy girls from Utah and they want to come see a male review show in Vegas,’ so we were kind of all like nonchalant about it when we initially filmed the pilot season,” Jayson told The Blast exclusively. “But once we saw how it picked up and really gained traction, it was something I was really excited to be a part of.”
Chippendales was featured in an episode of “Mormon Wives” in season 1, another one in season 2 (the Halloween party turned brawl/husband Chippendales routine), as well as in TikToks with Jen and Zac Affleck when they returned to the show for what Jen called “exposure therapy.” Jayson also hosted “Mormon Wives” live “Unholy Tea” event in Las Vegas in 2025.
Fans of the show will clearly remember the Halloween party turned brawl where the cops showed up. Some might wonder if that was all staged or actually real, and Jayson is putting that curiosity to rest.
“There was drama. I can say that in season 2, the Halloween party episode, when we’re ready to go down and surprise them with a performance, and the big fight breaks out and the cops all show up, that’s all real,” Jayson shared. “None of it was actually planned and I was actually the only representative of the company that was in the house during the party.”
When the fight broke out, Jayson made sure to stay far from the action, and revealed what he was doing during the insanity.
“I was locked in the bathroom, upstairs by myself peeking out the window watching all the action and the fighting happening from the front yard,” he said. “That’s something you didn’t get to see. It looks like all of that happened very quickly but little old me was just hidden in the bathroom, hiding upstairs looking out the window like what is going on out there?”
While Zac had a lot to say about Jen being at Chippendales during Season 1, somehow, she got him to do some “exposure therapy” and join her at the show off camera. They documented the experience on TikTok with a few videos.
When asked how that all went down, Jayson shared there was “a lot of growth in their relationship.”
“There was a lot of growth in their relationship, a lot of communication happened to kind of bring them to the place to come back to see the show together, and you know, every couple is different, to break down those boundaries and work through those situations to feel comfortable,” he told The Blast. “I think it was a great improvement for them in their relationship. I think they’re both great people. It was really fun to come back and film some TikToks and things with them before the show.”
Jayson said they all still keep in touch and will check in with each other on Instagram, but ultimately, he’s happy that they were able to “move over that hump in their relationship and get back to a positive place.”
In June 2025, Jayson had the opportunity to reunite with MomTok for a prominent off camera event in front of a live audience when the girls brought “Unholy Tea” to Las Vegas.
Taylor Frankie Paul, Jen Affleck, Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Matthews, Jessi Draper, and Layla Taylor hit the stage at Palazzo Theater inside The Venetian Resort for their first-ever live show that packed the house. The show included Q&A sessions, interactive games, confessions from audience members, and of course, Chippendales.
Jayson said the event was a great opportunity for him to see them on a “different level outside of the filming,” to show the other side of their lives.
“Honestly, it was really awesome. It was awesome to see them on a different level outside of the filming, kind of stripping away the cameras and stripping away the madness of what the show is, to have them in that state where they are just humans and they are just living their lives, and kind of being able to speak and ask them questions that were kind of breaking down the walls, the barriers of television, and getting to know them on more a sentimental level which was really cool,” Jayson told The Blast.
“I think they’re all amazing, the husbands are great and obviously reality TV paints the picture that it does but working with them on that level was really cool to see and to experience.”
If you’re visiting Las Vegas, Chippendales is an absolute must experience show. Performing at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas most nights, some nights with two shows, this 18-and-older show is interactive, fun, and totally memorable.
According to the website, “Chippendales is more than just a show – it’s an experience. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a fun night out with friends, this show is the perfect way to let loose and have fun. With stunning stage design, high-energy music, and interactive elements that get YOU, the audience, involved – you’ll feel like you’re part of the action.”
