The stars of 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' recently hosted their first-ever live show in Las Vegas, where they invited Chippendales star Jayson Michael to host their Unholy Tea event. In photos exclusively shared with PEOPLE, the reality stars can be seen hugging and bonding with the dancers.
The husbands even put on the Chippendales' signature accessories for a shirtless dance performance on stage. Michael tells PEOPLE that he's enjoyed getting to know the MomTokers, especially Jen and Zac Affleck, who almost broke up over her attendance at the Vegas performance back in season 1.
The cast of 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' including Taylor Frankie Paul, Jennifer Affleck, Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Matthews, Jessi Ngatikaura, and Layla Taylor joined together for a live show at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas on Saturday, June 7. Their Unholy Tea event welcomed fans to participate in games and a Q&A session.
But the reality stars weren't about to visit Vegas without adding yet another chapter in their Chippendales saga. This time, MomTok asked the Chippendales' Jayson Michael to host their Unholy Tea at the Palazzo Theater. Michael was assisted by fellow performer Alejandro.
The live show audience was treated to an extra special surprise when the husbands of the group stepped out on stage for some shirtless, Chippendales-inspired dancing. Michael tells PEOPLE that the performance was actually DadTok's idea in the first place.
"They were the ones who kind of brought forth wanting to do a Chippendales number within the show," the host says. "They are fully there, supporting their wives ... going along for the ride, and I think it's very cool how supportive and great they are."
Michael tells PEOPLE that he's had "an amazing experience" getting to know the reality moms over the course of two seasons.
"It's so wonderful to see how true and humble they really are behind the camera as well," says the Chippendales star. "You know, sharing your life like that on a public platform can't be easy, but for them to still remain so kind and so sweet, I think it is very admirable."
The relationship between the dance show and the Hulu show started back in season 1, with MomTok's infamous girls' trip to Las Vegas. Their attendance and backstage access at a Chippendales performance nearly split up Jen and her husband, Zac, who are currently expecting their third child together.
In the episode, Jennifer took a tearful, tense phone call with Zac. The season 1 cameras also captured her telling Neely, "I literally will be a divorced woman. I'm not even kidding. I'm not even just jokingly saying that. I'm literally telling you Zac would literally divorce me over something like this."
While the couple continues to prove they moved past the conflict by playfully referencing the drama — and in March, they both returned to Vegas to make TikToks with the Chippendales — Jen recently admitted to PEOPLE that their initial rift is still hard to think about.
"Obviously it's still traumatizing to think about actually what we went through regarding Chippendales," she said last month. "Can't seem to run away from it."
Michael says it was "really great" to see Jen and Zac again, especially now that their due date is even closer than it was last spring. "It's been so wonderful being able to connect with them and really develop and grow our friendship outside the show behind the cameras," the professional performer tells PEOPLE.

Michael says it was a "full circle moment" to see the couple again, especially now that their due date is even closer than it was last spring. It's been so wonderful being able to connect with them and really develop and grow our friendship outside the show behind the cameras," the professional performer tells PEOPLE.
"They're already great parents, and I know they're going to continue that pattern," adds Michael, who also made a cameo in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' season 2, when he traveled to Utah to take part in MomTok's Halloween festivities.
Plus, Zac was able to further embrace the Chippendales spirit by sporting their signature accessories for his Unholy Tea appearance. Michael was actually the one to help the reality dad try on his cuff and collar. "I think it's totally safe to say it's a full circle moment," Michael adds.
