Wes Harper always yelled at the TV—”telling people what they did wrong and what they did right”—when he watched N*ked And Afraid. Seeing the fire in his eyes, his wife Molly Harper signed him up for the show, and now he’s one of 12 contestants on N*ked And Afraid: Last One Standing.
So who is Molly Harper? Read on to find out.
Meet Molly Harper, Wife of N*ked & Afraid Star Wes Harper
Molly Harper is the wife of Wes Harper, whom they married on February 25, 2012, after 14 years of friendship.
“11 years of marriage today, over 25 years of friendship. What a journey – I can’t wait to see what lies ahead for us. Love, Wes. Happy Anniversary,” Molly celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary on IG.
According to Molly, Wes is an “amazing husband” with “unparalleled strength and determination.” And that couldn’t be more true. Wes is truly a resilient survivor. (www.sapns2.com) After undergoing catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in 2019, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2021—but beat the disease the following year!
His rental rights were also the reason Molly signed him up for the show. “Wes has always been an outdoorsman,” Molly explains. “He likes to challenge himself to do things that are outside of his comfort zone. Marathon runner, triathlete, Ironman—he’s done it all, so it made sense for him to do something that combines his ability to prepare for anything with his mental strength. Being a survivor requires all of those qualities, which is why I knew he would be great at it. He never gives up!”
Wes has now appeared in over 20 episodes of N*ked And Afraid and has also landed a spot on N*ked And Afraid: Last One Standing. Furthermore, this survivor has amassed a fan base, both domestically and internationally.
“Wes loved it. Having fans, being recognized, being invited to speak at meetings of different organizations—it was a level of fame he had never had before,” Molly said. “The feeling he got from the fans cheering was really hard to put into words.”
