If you’ve spent any time scrolling through Hulu or TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen Mayci Neeley. She is the platinum-blonde voice of reason on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, often seen trying to keep the "MomTok" peace while navigating her own hectic life. But with all the swinging scandals and group drama, it’s easy to lose track of the actual families behind the screen. One question keeps popping up in the comments: how many kids does Mayci have?
Honestly, the answer is a little more complex than just a number. It’s a story of heartbreak, adoption, and a long journey with IVF.
The Current Count: Mayci’s Family in 2026
As of early 2026, Mayci Neeley has three children.
Her family recently grew in July 2025 when she welcomed her third baby, a daughter named Charli May. This new addition officially turned the Neeley household into a family of five. If you follow her on Instagram, you've likely seen the glimpses of their life in Utah, though she's been a bit more careful lately about showing her kids' faces to protect their privacy.

Meet the Kids
- Hudson: Her eldest son, born in September 2015. He is currently 10 years old.
- Harlow: Her first daughter with husband Jacob, born in February 2021. She is now 4.
- Charli May: The newest addition, born July 23, 2025.
The Story Behind Her Firstborn, Hudson
You can't really talk about Mayci's kids without mentioning the tragedy that shaped her early motherhood. When Mayci was just 19, she was pregnant with Hudson. At the time, she was in a rocky relationship with her boyfriend, Arik Mack.
While they were mid-argument over text, Arik was involved in a fatal car accident. He passed away before Hudson was ever born. Mayci has been incredibly open about this in her memoir, Told You So, and on the show. She’s talked about the crushing guilt of knowing he was texting her when he crashed, even though she didn't know he was driving at the time.
Hudson was her "saving grace" during a period of severe depression. For years, she raised him as a single mom while attending BYU.
How Jacob Changed Everything
Enter Jacob Neeley. Most fans know him as the supportive, "tender soul" husband who stays out of the MomTok fray. They met when Hudson was just seven months old.
Jacob didn't just marry Mayci; he stepped into the role of a father immediately. In March 2023, he officially and legally adopted Hudson. It was a huge moment for the family, documented in a tear-jerker YouTube video titled "ADOPTION DAY!"
The IVF Journey and Baby Number Three
The path to having more kids wasn't exactly a straight line for the Neeleys. Mayci has been vocal about her struggles with fertility. Both of her daughters, Harlow and Charli, were conceived via In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
While filming season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Mayci was actually pregnant with Charli. It was kind of a "pregnancy pact" situation—though they claim it wasn't planned—because her co-stars Mikayla Matthews and Jen Affleck were pregnant at the exact same time. All three women ended up having baby girls in July 2025.
Mayci mentioned that this last IVF round was kept secret from almost everyone, including her family, until she was ready to announce. She wanted a "normal" experience without the pressure of everyone knowing the clinical details of the transfer.
What Most People Get Wrong
Sometimes people get confused and think Mayci has more kids because she is so frequently surrounded by the 20+ children of the other MomTok women. Or, they think she only has two biological kids because of the adoption.
The reality? She considers all three her own, and Jacob feels the same. Hudson, Harlow, and Charli are a tight-knit unit.
Key Takeaways for Fans:
- She has 3 kids: Hudson (10), Harlow (4), and Charli (6 months).
- Adoption is central to their story: Jacob adopted Hudson in 2023.
- IVF Advocacy: Mayci uses her platform (and her business, BabyMama) to help other women navigating infertility.
- Privacy is increasing: While she’s a reality star, she has started blurring or hiding her children's faces more often in 2026 to give them a sense of normalcy.
If you're looking to keep up with Mayci’s family life, your best bet is following her on TikTok or catching the latest season of her show on Hulu, where she’s been showing more of the "newborn haze" with Charli.
Next Steps for You: If you’re interested in the full, unedited version of how she navigated becoming a young mom under such tragic circumstances, I highly recommend checking out her memoir Told You So. It fills in a lot of the gaps that the 45-minute TV episodes leave out, especially regarding her time as a D1 athlete and the early days of her relationship with Jacob.
