Influencer Avery Woods is ready for her life to be on full display in the upcoming Secret Lives of Mormon Wives spinoff set in Orange County.
“It’s reality TV, there’s going to be drama,” Woods, 31, teased about the upcoming show during an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, while promoting her partnership with Olive & June. “There’s a lot of different personalities and a lot of different beliefs and views.”
Before Woods makes her debut on the latest Hulu show, she partnered with Olive & June to launch a new collaboration of 12 press-on nails designed for everyday life as a mom and businesswoman.
“I feel very, very privileged [at] this point in my career to be very picky about who I work with and I don’t want to just put my name on something for a quick buck. I want to design a collection with a company that feels very authentic. This was just the perfect fit because I genuinely used Olive & June every single day,” Woods explained. “So when they reached out, it just kind of felt like a no-brainer, and they’ve been incredible to work with.”
As for the show, Woods explained that the spinoff is “really cool and unique” because some of the cast members “are still active in the church,” while “some people were raised Mormon and have left the church” and others “have never been Mormon, but we have very close people in our lives that are part of the church so we know a lot about it.”
“It really is like the community I felt like I was raised in and I followed a lot of the same things these girls did,” Woods shared. “I was married at 21, had my first baby at 23. I met my husband at 18. That was just kind of like the culture we were raised in, but I will say it’s really cool seeing the dynamic of the girls who are still actively part of the church. And then there’s like the LA girls that are not part of the church.” (Woods, for her part, has been married to David since 2016.)
She continued, “We all could not be more different, but I think the coolest part about us all coming together is we’ve started to understand and be more open to how each one of us lives our life, because we all make different choices and different decisions, and we raise our children differently, we dress differently, we speak differently. So I think if anything, we’ve come to appreciate each other more, and also had very open and honest conversations about our beliefs and why we are shaped the way that we are. I think it’ll be really cool for people to see that.”
Woods was announced as one of the cast members joining The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County in April, alongside fellow California-based moms McCall Dapron, Aspyn Ovard, Bobbi Althoff, Salomé Andrea, Ashleigh Pease, Madison Bontempo and Chandler Higginson.
