“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” scandal, rivalry and viral TikTok dance moves will spill over to the upcoming season of “Dancing With the Stars.”
The final revelation on June 30’s two-hour Season 2 “Mormon Wives” reunion (now streaming on Hulu) featured the shocker – two stars of the Mormon MomTok reality hit will battle it out on Season 34 of the reality ballroom dance show this fall.
Many of the assembled “Mormon Wives” stars had auditioned for “DWTS” − but most didn’t make the cut. Reunion host Nick Viall drew out the suspense, announcing the two new ballroom additions.
Read on to find out who’s hitting the “DWTS” dance floor.
‘Mormon Wives’ Jennifer Affleck and Whitney Leavitt join ‘DWTS’
- Jennifer Affleck, 25, who met her husband Zac Affleck on a Mormon dating app in 2018, tied the knot in June 2019. The couple shares two children (Nora and Lucas) and is expecting their third child together. Affleck has made it clear on the show and in her TikTok dance videos that she has always dreamed of being on “DWTS.”
- Whitney Leavitt, 32, arguably the villain of Season 1, Leavitt was the surprise second addition to “DWTS” following Affleck’s reality crowning. After making “DWTS,” the trained dancer and controversial TikTok sensation jumped into the arms of husband Conner Leavitt. The couple welcomed their third child, Billy Gene, in 2024, who joined older children, Sedona and Liam.
Who is already on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Season 34?
The “Mormon Wives” duo will face off against each other and two already-named “star” contestants with significant social media followings.
- Social media influencer Alix Earle, who rose to fame on TikTok with her popular “get ready with me” videos, joined the cast in May.
- Robert Irwin, son of late conservationist Steve Irwin and brother of former “DWTS” fan favorite Bindi Irwin, joined the show in April.
“This has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid watching my sister’s incredible journey on the show back in 2016,” Irwin wrote on Instagram. “I cannot believe it is about to become a reality. So grateful.”
More cast members and pro partners will be revealed in the upcoming months. But Season 34 is looking to get crazy.
