Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt may have left their MomTok beef out of the ballroom on this season of Dancing With the Stars, but it seems like it isn’t over just yet.
After her elimination from the reality competition series, Jen got candid about where she really stands with Whitney—who’s still in the running for the Mirrorball Trophy—during a recent interview with E! News.
“There is no relationship,” Jen told the outlet of her dynamic with Whitney. “Unfortunately, some things happened, so we’ve just taken a step back.”

While Jen (who was eliminated during the Halloween episode on October 28) kept details about the “things” pretty slim, she gave insight into why she and Whitney left their problems at the door when it came to the competition.
“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 to not] bleed into Dancing With the Stars.”

That said, Jen noted that—that while they may not be on the best of terms at the moment—she has nothing but well wishes for her Secret Lives of Mormon Wives co-star. “I’m happy for her and it’s a dream for her to be there, too,” she added. “And honestly, even though we’re not on good terms, I do hope she makes it far. That’s all I have to say.”
The development comes after Jen previously said she wouldn’t be rooting for Whitney on the show during a TikTok live after her elimination. “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,” she said, with a wink.
That’s not all. After the Dancing With the Stars live show on November 4, Whitney fully dodged questions about her fellow MomTok member, telling E! News, “I’m trying not to focus on that. 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.”
Well, these have made for some interesting developments ahead of the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 3 premiere drops on Hulu on November 13.
