Reality TV invaded the ballroom in 2025 when two stars from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives—Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck—hit the floor of Dancing with the Stars Season 34. Both were members of the #MomTok-fueled Utah influencer scene and brought drama, hustle, and social-media muscle into the competition. Only one might take home the Mirrorball trophy—or dance-show stardom. With Whitney's background in dance and Jen's lifelong dream of performing, this is not just a war of steps—it's a battle of preparation vs. passion. Who will shine in the spotlight?
Whitney Leavitt Whitney Leavitt went public with her debut on MomTok and Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, in which she found herself more often cast as the sophisticated powerhouse of the cast. With her quick wit, the 32-year-old, three-time mother from Utah has a huge social-media following and even prior dance experience.
Her entry into DWTS Season 34 was the natural extension—she took the dance floor ready and raring to go. With an admitted dance training and competitive fire shaped on reality TV, Whitney brings the craft factor ballroom needs. Her insider advantage? She's been judged, criticized, and spun tales for years—and now she gets to dance in introspective choreography instead of social-media songs. If she can channel her past drills' accuracy into ballroom style, Whitney could be able to translate expectations into a performance moment.

Jen AffleckJen Affleck's journey to the library of dance is a different rhythm—she's less focused on professional polish and more on passionate longing. One of the leading ladies of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Jen's story touches on the many who want big things while getting motherhood and social change.
Her debut on DWTS Season 34 was the realization of a long-held dream, and she brings to the dance floor a infectious energy of authenticity that refined artists can sometimes lack. Without a well-publicized dance résumé, Jen's strength is grit: she has to learn in a hurry, act from the heart, and connect with the audience members who vote. Her journey might be fantastic TV—a underdog tale in the making. If Jen's social skills and popularity online carry over to show magic, she may steal the show from technique-based competitors. She may not start as the most polished performer, but she has a chance at being people's champion.
