Jen Affleck, star of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, recently addressed the fallout between her and co-star Whitney Leavitt. Despite their differences, the 26-year-old TV personality emphasized their efforts to keep personal conflicts separate from their experience on Dancing With the Stars.
“Because being on Dancing With the Stars was a dream of both of ours, we—at least for me—just wanted to make that experience only positive and leave the drama for our other show.”
Jen acknowledged moments when tensions threatened to interfere with the competition but remained supportive of Whitney's journey.
“But I’m happy for her, and it’s a dream for her to be there, too. And honestly, even though we’re not on good terms, I do hope she makes it far. That’s all I have to say.”
After Jen and her partner Jan Ravnik were eliminated, she hinted at some underlying tension on Instagram Live:
“I would be voting for a former MomTok person, but we won’t get into it because you'll have to wait for season 3.”
Whitney Leavitt has remained focused on her performance alongside partner Mark Ballas, aiming to win the Mirrorball trophy. She chooses not to dwell on the reported rift, focusing instead on her supporters.
“Just trying to focus on all the people that are supporting us, because I'm so grateful for them. It motivates us, it keeps us going, so thank you.”
Despite the tension, both stars are prioritizing their professional goals and fans' support during the competition.
Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt, despite a personal fallout, strive to keep their differences off the Dancing With the Stars stage, focusing on their shared dreams and fan support.
