Dancing With the Stars alum Jen Affleck shares an update about her current equation with Whitney Leavitt
The co-stars of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives experienced a serious fallout, but Jen Affleck recently opened up about how they tried to stay professional on Dancing With the Stars. The 26-year-old television personality said that both she and Whitney Leavitt aimed to keep their differences away from the ballroom.
“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 admitted that at times, it was difficult to fully separate personal issues from their performances.
“But I’m happy for her, and it’s a dream for her to be there, too. And honestly, even though we’re not on good terms, I do hope she makes it far. That’s all I have to say.”
On the night she and her dance partner Jan Ravnik were eliminated from the competition, Jen hinted at some lingering tension during an Instagram Live session.
“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.”
Meanwhile, Whitney Leavitt has remained mostly silent about the rumored conflict. She has been focusing on her performances with partner Mark Ballas as they compete for the Mirrorball trophy.
“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.”
