Social media influencer-turned-reality TV star, Aspyn Ovard, who recently starred in the brand-new Hulu reality series, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, announced extremely upsetting news that one of her daughters had been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
According to Page Six, Aspyn Ovard, 30, who was previously married to content creator-turned-YouTuber Parker Ferris, with whom she shares three daughters, did not mention which one of her daughters is struggling with the terminal cancer. As heartbreaking and upsetting as the news was, Ovard revealed it on the first episode of TSLOMW: Orange County, which premiered on November 12, 2026, on Hulu.
As cited by Page Six, Aspyn Ovard, on the first episode of the Hulu reality show, mentioned how drastically things had deteriorated for their daughter, to the point that it became difficult for her and her ex-husband to comprehend. Ovard, who tied the knot with Ferris in 2015, said:
"Everything happened just so out of nowhere. One day she was OK and the next day she wasn’t."
During the first episode of TSLOMW: Orange County, Aspyn Ovard recalled the moment she and Ferris learned the shocking news about their daughter, and said:
"At the hospital, we were like, 'It has to be fine.' You can’t fathom they’re actually gonna tell you that your baby has cancer, and that it’s terminal and she could be gone in a month."
Aspyn Ovard refrains from talking about her daughter on the Hulu reality show, as it's "Triggering and traumatizing"

According to Page Six, Aspyn Ovard, who split from Parker Ferris in April 2024 after discovering that he had been hiding years of alcohol use from her, in the second episode of TSLOMW: Orange County took the opportunity to make it clear to the other women on the show that she does not wish to talk about her daughter, as it's "triggering and traumatizing" for her.
As cited by Page Six, while Ovard shared that she opposes drinking alcohol and holds strong views about it, as it was because of alcoholism that her father passed away, she mentioned on episode 2 of the new Hulu reality show that she wants to avoid talking about her daughter and said:
"I’ve set boundaries from the beginning. If I make an effort to put myself out there and do things and be around people, I just want to be distracted and I want to feel as normal as I can because I don’t ever get to feel that way anymore."
