Season 34 of “Dancing With the Stars” is already generating buzz with the recent announcement that “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” stars Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck will be competing in the upcoming season. The news was revealed during the reunion special for the popular Hulu series, which has been a hit since its premiere in 2024.
Both Leavitt and Affleck have been part of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” since its inception, with the show quickly becoming Hulu’s most-watched unscripted series. The second season of the show drew even higher ratings, solidifying its popularity among viewers.
In the first season of the show, Leavitt was portrayed as the villain due to her actions within the #MomTok groupchat, which led to tensions with the other influencers. However, in the second season, Leavitt made efforts to reconcile with the group, with some success.
Affleck faced her own challenges in Season 2, as her marital troubles with husband Zac were highlighted early on. The season also delved into her conflicts with other cast members before revealing her pregnancy with their third child. Affleck took a break from filming due to prenatal depression, and as of her recent Instagram post, the baby’s arrival has yet to be announced.
In a recent interview, Taylor Frankie Paul, the central figure of the show, expressed support for Affleck’s return to #MomTok, emphasizing the importance of mental health and self-care. The upcoming season of “Dancing With the Stars” will feature Leavitt and Affleck alongside wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin and model Alix Earle.
The popular dance competition will air on ABC and Disney+ in the fall, with episodes available for streaming on Hulu the following day. Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough will resume their roles as co-hosts, while Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough will return as the main judges.
Excitement is building for Season 34 of “Dancing With the Stars,” as fans anticipate the performances of Leavitt, Affleck, and the rest of the star-studded cast. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated season.
