Two Mormon wives are making their way to the ballroom! At the conclusion of the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion—now available on Hulu—Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck learned that they would face off on Dancing with the Stars Season 34.
Many of the MomTok influencers tried out for the dance competition show during the filming of Season 3, but only two were selected to participate. Near the reunion’s end, host Nick Viall inquired which two castmates were the most eager to be selected, leading Affleck and Leavitt to raise their hands.
Regarding who they believed deserved it the most, Taylor Frankie Paul commented, “Jen, just because it’s been her lifelong dream. But overall, Whitney was an actual dancer. You’ve danced your whole life.”
Initially, Viall only told Affleck that she would be competing for the coveted mirrorball trophy in Season 34. While Leavitt smiled and clapped for her friend, it was clear that she was disappointed. Still, she promised to be there “front and center rooting for” Affleck.
That’s when Viall told them he had one more surprise announcement.
“As it turns out, because you women are so adored, they are gonna be sending two of you to Dancing with the Stars,” he said, announcing Leavitt as the second MomTok influencer heading to Los Angeles. The content creator leaped into her husband’s arms and spun around, before jumping up and down in excitement with Affleck.
Mikayla Matthews, who has been feuding with Leavitt since Season 1 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, widened her eyes before muttering, “Is this the new unlikely friendship?”
Affleck and Leavitt are the latest to join the growing list of stars set to compete in Season 34. Robert Irwin, son of the late Steve Irwin, was the first cast member to be confirmed for the show — and influencer Alix Earle later announced that she would also be joining the next season of Dancing with the Stars, which is slated to premiere sometime in fall 2025.
In the meantime, you can watch the women on the first two seasons of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which is currently streaming on Hulu.
