The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt and her husband, Conner Leavitt, have faced their fair share of challenges together.
Their journey began in the early 2010s when Whitney served her Mormon mission in Georgia, coincidentally where Connerâs family resided at the time.
âWhat a coincidence! How amazing is that?â Whitney recalled during an interview with Vulture in May 2025, sharing that she had been connected with Connerâs family during her mission. âI have memories of being in his home.â
However, they didnât dive into dating immediately. It wasnât until 2015 that they officially crossed paths, both serving as wingmen for their friends on a double date. When their friends backed out, Whitney and Conner discovered a spark between them.
After dating for a year, Whitney and Conner exchanged vows in a Mormon temple located in Provo, Utah.
In 2022, nearly six years after marriage, Conner revealed he faced porn addiction issues. Consequently, the couple departed from Utah for two months to reassess their marriage.
