If you're a fan of the actress, you're probably wondering what her relationship status is. As it turns out, she's happily married. Here's everything we know about Mallory Jansen and her husband's relationship.

Mallory Jansen's husband is Simon Phan.

There is very little information online about Simon Phan. While he has an Instagram account, it is private. However, his profile photo is of him and Mallory on their wedding day.

According to Popular Networth, Simon is also of Australian descent. Their marriage was also allegedly featured in the Australian film-to-TV series Never Tear Us Apart: The Untold Story of INXS. Mallory, who starred in the series, landed her first U.S. role shortly after that in Young and Hungry.

What is 'The Big Leap' about?

According to the series synopsis, The Big Leap, which was inspired by the U.K.'s Big Ballet, details the journey of an eclectic group of dark horses — including a bored housewife, a former teen mom, and an out-of-work NFL player — who compete to win a reality dance competition as their instructor makes a last-ditch attempt to save his career.

As one can imagine, the series requires a lot of fancy footwork from the cast. Mallory took to Instagram to share a little behind-the-scenes action.

"Dancing with Raymond Cham Jr. has been one of my highlights of The Big Leap so far," she wrote alongside a video of her dancing with her co-star, who plays Justin Reyes. "So incredibly grateful for our team of choreographers," she continued.

While The Big Leap takes place in Detroit, the series was actually filmed in Chicago. Season 1 filming locations include the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet and Cinespace Chicago Film Studios.
