The co-stars of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives experienced a significant fallout, and Jen Affleck recently spoke about the situation. The 26‑year‑old TV personality explained that both she and Whitney Leavitt have made efforts to keep their differences away from the ballroom.
“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 admitted that maintaining that separation wasn’t always easy but expressed goodwill toward her co‑star.
“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 her elimination from Dancing With the Stars alongside partner Jan Ravnik, Jen hinted at possible tension during an Instagram Live session.
“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.”
Meanwhile, Whitney Leavitt has chosen to stay quiet regarding the rumored conflict, focusing instead on her journey with professional partner Mark Ballas as they compete for the Mirrorball trophy.
“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.”
Jen Affleck wishes Whitney Leavitt success despite their strained friendship, choosing to separate personal drama from their shared time on Dancing With the Stars.
