Jen Affleck Discusses Relationship with Whitney Leavitt After ‘DWTS’ Exit
Just before the release of season 3 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, tensions between stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt from the show remain unresolved. Although they left their personal issues aside during Dancing With the Stars, Jen revealed in a recent interview that their relationship is currently strained.
Jen Opens Up About Their Current Dynamic
“There is no relationship,” Jen told E! about her connection with Whitney. “Unfortunately, some things happened, so we’ve just taken a step back.”
Jen, who was eliminated on the Halloween episode of DWTS (October 28), did not provide many details about the reasons behind their distance but explained their effort to keep the competition drama-free.
Keeping the Show Separate from Personal Issues
“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 shared. “Unfortunately, there were moments where it was hard for it not to bleed into Dancing With the Stars.”
Wishing Whitney Well Despite Differences
“I’m happy for her and it’s a dream for her to be there, too,” Jen added. “And honestly, even though we’re not on good terms, I do hope she makes it far.”
Whitney Leavitt continues to compete for the Mirrorball Trophy, while Jen moves forward after her elimination.
Summary
Jen Affleck reveals she and Whitney Leavitt are currently distant following her DWTS exit but hopes Whitney succeeds despite their personal differences.
