Demi Engemann, star of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” recently addressed the rumors surrounding her relationship with husband Bret Engemann. The couple faced scrutiny due to their 16-year age gap, with some speculating that they had known each other since Demi was a child.
In an Instagram Q&A session, Demi clarified that she first met Bret when she was 22 years old at a mutual friend’s funeral. Contrary to the rumors, she explained that they did not know each other when she was a child. Despite the initial misunderstandings, the couple’s relationship blossomed over time.
Demi revealed that she had a crush on Bret when she was younger but reconnected with him as friends during a difficult period in her life. Following her divorce from her previous husband, Blake Corbin, Demi sought support from Bret, who had been through a divorce himself. Their friendship eventually evolved into a romantic relationship, and they got engaged after dating for 10 months.
