YouTuber and reality television personality Aspyn Ovard has brought renewed attention to her three daughters after publicly discussing a serious childhood cancer diagnosis during the premiere of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County. The disclosure has also prompted questions about her eldest daughter, Cove, who was born in August 2019 and is now seven years old.
Ovard shares Cove and her two younger daughters with her former husband, Parker Ferris. The family has largely kept the children away from public attention in recent years, with Ovard choosing not to regularly show their faces or share detailed personal information online.
How Old Is Aspyn Ovard’s Daughter Cove?
Cove Ferris was born on August 17, 2019, making her seven years old as of November 2026. She is the eldest daughter of Aspyn Ovard and Parker Ferris, who married in 2015 and divorced in 2024.
Ovard announced Cove’s arrival through her YouTube and Instagram accounts. At the time, she regularly documented her pregnancy, motherhood and family activities for her online audience.
Cove appeared in several early family videos before Ovard began reducing her children’s exposure on social media.
Why Did Aspyn Ovard Name Her Daughter Cove?
Ovard explained the story behind Cove’s name in a February 2025 TikTok video discussing how she selected names for her three daughters.
She originally wanted a short name that could be associated with the nickname Coco. Her mother eventually suggested Cove.
“I really wanted the nickname Coco. I just think it’s the cutest nickname ever,” Ovard explained.
Although she initially had reservations about the name, she eventually decided it suited her daughter.
Ovard also revealed that she had chosen the name before learning whether her first child would be a boy or a girl.
Aspyn Ovard Reveals One Daughter Has Terminal Cancer
During the November 12 premiere of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, Ovard revealed that one of her daughters had been diagnosed with terminal cancer more than three years earlier.
The 30-year-old influencer discussed the diagnosis during a therapy session involving her former husband, Parker Ferris.
“Everything happened so fast, so out of nowhere. One day, she was okay and then the next day, she wasn’t,” Ovard said.
She explained that the family had been living with uncertainty about their daughter’s condition for several years.
“You can’t fathom they’re actually gonna tell you that your baby has cancer and that it’s terminal. She could be gone in a month. We don’t know and I’ve been living like that for over three years, just having no idea.”
Importantly, Ovard has not publicly identified which of her three daughters received the diagnosis. There is no verified confirmation that Cove is the child undergoing cancer treatment.
How Many Daughters Does Aspyn Ovard Have?
Ovard shares three daughters with her former husband, Parker Ferris.
Her eldest, Cove, was born on August 17, 2019, and is seven years old.
Their second daughter, Lola, was born on September 30, 2021, making her five years old.
Their youngest daughter, Elle, was born prematurely in 2024 and is now two years old. Ovard announced Elle’s arrival on April 1, 2024, after giving birth at approximately 34 weeks.
Ovard filed for divorce from Ferris on the same day she announced Elle’s birth. The former couple continue to share parenting responsibilities.
Why Does Aspyn Ovard Keep Cove Away From Social Media?
Ovard began changing how she featured her children online as they grew older.
In a May 2023 YouTube video, she explained that she no longer wanted to regularly display her daughters’ faces or disclose extensive details about their daily lives.
“I just don’t want to show a lot of their faces as they’re getting older,” she said.
The decision marked a change from her earlier family-focused content, which frequently included pregnancy updates, children’s milestones and family activities.
Ovard has continued discussing motherhood publicly while keeping identifying information about her daughters more limited.
What Has Aspyn Ovard Said About Her Family?
Ovard has explained that her daughter’s illness affected several areas of her personal life, including her marriage and mental health.
In an interview released around the premiere of her reality series, she said participating in the show helped her explain circumstances she had previously struggled to discuss publicly.
“It was definitely a big decision and something that I’m just hoping I feel good about in the end because I just haven’t really known how to share my life over the last few years,” she said.
The series also documents her changing relationship with Ferris and their efforts to support their family following their separation.
As of November 13, 2026, Cove is seven years old. Ovard has not identified which daughter has cancer, and the family continues to keep the child’s medical details private.
