The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is step-ball-changing from TikTok to the Ballroom!
Two of the MomTokers were picked for ABC’s 34th season of Dancing With the Stars, though “most” of the cast “auditioned.”
Congrats to Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt for making the cut!
The announcement:
The exciting news dropped during The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Reunion Special.
The host Nick Viall, who was a contestant on Season 24 of DWTS with Peta Murgatroyd, spilled that Jen and Whitney were “so adored” by the DWTS production crew.
Jen was the first to be confirmed. She had been vocal about her lifelong dream to compete, often sharing dance videos on TikTok.
Whitney Leavitt, a trained dancer, was also chosen. Initially, it seemed only Jen would go, but the host revealed in a twist that both would compete.
Taylor Frankie Paul chimed in. “Jen – it’s been her life’s dream since she was little. But Whitney was an actual dancer.”
After catching the MomTok: Unholy Tea live show in Las Vegas, it’s hard to believe Mikayla didn’t get picked for DWTS.
