From “MomTok” to the ballroom!

“Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt are joining the Season 34 cast of “Dancing With the Stars.”

The thrilling announcement was made Monday night during Hulu’s “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Reunion Special.” Host Nick Viall — who participated in Season 24 with Peta Murgatroyd — mentioned during the special that “most” of the cast had recently “auditioned” for the competition series while they were filming Season 3 of their own successful show.

He then enthusiastically revealed to Affleck, 26, and Leavitt, 32, that they had both been selected — as they were “so adored” by the “DWTS” production team.

We have heard that the ladies are scheduled to make a special appearance on “Good Morning America” early Tuesday as ABC delivers their official announcement live on-air.

The casting news comes just days after Affleck made headlines for going into labor while in a nail salon.

“POV: you start having contractions at your nail appointment,” the then-pregnant reality star hilariously captioned a clip shared to social media.

At the time of publication, Affleck and her husband, Zac, had not provided any further updates on baby No. 3’s arrival. The two are also parents to daughter, Nora, 3, and son, Lucas, 1.

Leavitt, meanwhile, recently showed off her dance moves while attending a concert in Las Vegas with her husband, Conner.

“We are witnessing true talent,” the venue, Resorts World Las Vegas, joked in the comments section.

The trip to Sin City marked their first getaway together since welcoming their third child, a baby boy named Billy Gene, back in October. They also share son Liam, 2, and daughter Sedona, 4.

During Season 34 of “Dancing With the Stars,” Affleck and Leavitt — along with their pro dance partners — will compete against each other in hopes of winning the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. They’ll be joining previously announced contestants Robert Irwin and Alix Earle.

Wildlife conservationist Irwin, 21, called the opportunity the “ultimate dream come true” in an official announcement video back in April, while TikTok star Earle, 24, told “GMA” viewers in May that she is “ready to challenge” herself and have “fun.”

“I’ve always been a fan of ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ I used to watch it when I was so young with my grandma,” the influencer added. “She would always say to me, ‘Maybe one day you could be on there.’”

The full list of celebrities and the pro dancers they’ll be competing with for the upcoming season will be announced at a later date.

Last year’s star-studded cast included Brooks Nader, Dwight Howard, Phaedra Parks, Danny Amendola, Jenn Tran and more, with “Bachelor” alum Joey Graziadei taking home the Season 33 mirrorball with his pro partner, Jenna Johnson.

“I really don’t know how I’m feeling right now, it’s a crazy, crazy process,” the reality TV star told Page Six in the ballroom after the finale. “[But] now we get to celebrate and enjoy it!”

“Dancing with the Stars” returns this fall on ABC and Disney+, with new episodes streaming the next day on Hulu. In the meantime, stay tuned to Page Six for all the latest “DWTS” news.
