‘Mormon Wives’ Producer Jeff Jenkins on Who Will Return as Production Resumes, ‘O.C.’ Spinoff Concerns and Expanding His Company (EXCLUSIVE)
“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” executive producer Jeff Jenkins knows his morning news diet isn’t healthy, but it’s a function of the life that he’s chosen. “My alarm goes off, I pull out my laptop and the first thing I do is go to TMZ,” he says. That’s how he learns what his cast members were up to overnight — and how his day might go.
“It gives me a little head’s up before I get to the office,” says Jenkins, who notes that it’s not a new practice. A few years ago, as EP of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” the tabloids were his first stop to see what his then-lead Kim Kardashian was up to. Now, it’s “Mormon Wives” star Taylor Frankie Paul who’s creating the headlines.
