Mikayla Matthews is taking a more central role in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and we’re loving a closer look at her life and her marriage to husband Jace Terry.
Mikayla and Jace are parents two three kids and are expecting their fourth. While Jace is one of the quieter members of DadTok and less likely to appear on camera than his social media star wife, we have learned a little bit about their relationship over the years.
All About Mikayla Matthews’ Husband, Jace
Mikayla and Jace started dating in 2016 after meeting through her sister, she revealed in a February 2022 TikTok. They married in March 2018 after welcoming their son, Beckham, the previous July. They had their wedding ceremony in Hawaii in 2020.

Mikayla previously opened up about their relationship in an August 2021 TikTok, revealing that she found out she was pregnant with her son at age 16 after “less than a month” of knowing Jace. “I decided to keep the baby, told him and he was 110% supportive and we went from there,” she explained in the TikTok.
Mikayla and Jace faced backlash over their relationship when she revealed their 5 year age gap in an October 2022 TikTok. Fans were quick to do the math and realized Jace was 21 when Mikayla got pregnant at 16 years old.
Mikayla & Jace Share 3 Kids
In addition to 7-year-old Beckham, Mikayla and Jace share daughters Tommie, 3, and Haven, 5. In February, Mikayla revealed to People that she’s expecting her fourth child with Jace.
“It was definitely a surprise! We were not planning or trying,” Mikayla said, explaining that she’s been focused on healing her chronic eczema. “Then it set in and we got really excited. We’re definitely excited, nervous about my health and possibly passing anything on, but excited.”
They’re Not Shy About Showing Their Love for One Another
Mikayla has consistently gushed about her marriage to Jace, telling SheKnows in 2024, “My husband’s always supportive of what I’m doing.” She added: “He just trusts me to not cross boundaries and to have respect for our relationship but he wants me to be my own person and do my own things.”
Jace showed his wife some love in a sweet Mother’s Day tribute on Instagram on May 12. “Can’t express enough gratitude for my wife! I’m so fortunate to live along side her and watch her grow and navigate through life with so much integrity, strength and bravery,” he wrote.
