Jessi Draper and Marciano Brunette were showing some major PDA at the Hulu Get Real event on Wednesday night.
As Jessi, 33, helped announce the new Orange County-based spinoff of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and Marciano, 33, promoted the latest season of Vanderpump Villa, cameras caught the recently reunited pair locking lips as Mauricio shared a pic of them together, and Jessi, who is in the midst of a divorce from Jordan Ngatikaura, confirmed the nature of their romance.
“[SLOMW‘s] Jessi Draper was spotted kissing [Vanderpump Villa‘s] Marciano Brunette at [Hulu Gets Real],” Decider wrote in the caption of an April 23 clip of the two of them.

Meanwhile, on Marciano’s Instagram page, he shared a series of photos, including one in which he was seen lifting a woman, who was, of course, Jessi, and giving her a kiss as he blocked out her face with a green heart emoji.
“Who’s the girl,” Jessi asked in a comment.
While Marciano covered Jessi’s face in his pic, it was clearly her, as confirmed by an image she shared on her own Instagram page of her look for Wednesday’s event.

Also on Wednesday, during a chat with Entertainment Tonight, Jessi was asked about her recent outings with Marciano.
“He’s one on the roster. You know, one of many. So we’re just having fun right now. Like, I’m single for the first time in 10 years. I’m just excited to, like, have fun,” she explained.
Then, as Mayci Neeley, 31, pointed out that Jessi wasn’t settling, Jessi agreed, “Not this time.”
“He’s nice. But do I want her to be with him long-term? Probably not,” Mayci admitted, as Jessi confirmed that she didn’t “want to be with anyone long-term for a long time.”
“I’m just having fun. And I’ll meet my man years down the road,” she shared.
As for Taylor Frankie Paul‘s canceled season of The Bachelorette, which was axed due to domestic violence claims made against her by Dakota Mortensen, 33, and shocking videos of their encounters, Jessi and Mayci, who both filmed for the ABC series, said they’d love to see it air.
“We did the whole journey with her. We saw the ins and outs and the behind the scenes, and I just, I really was proud of her for how she handled it, and I really am excited for the world to see that if they do,” Jessi stated.
