The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Jen Affleck exclusively told E! News about her relationship with costar Whitney Leavitt after being eliminated on Dancing With the Stars.
DWTS' Jen Affleck Reveals Where She Stands With Whitney Leavitt Amid Feud Rumors
Jen Affleck isn’t living a secret life when it comes to her friendship with Whitney Leavitt.
Amid rumors that there is an ongoing feud between the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives costars—who are also among this season’s cast of Dancing With the Stars—Jen revealed whether she still has a relationship with Whitney.
“There is no relationship,” Jen—who was eliminated during the Oct. 28 Halloween episode of DWTS—told E! News’ Will Marfuggi in an exclusive interview. “Unfortunately, some things happened, so we’ve just taken a step back.”
Though she kept coy about what went down between them, the 26-year-old noted they both tried to keep their rift out of 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 continued. “Unfortunately, there [were] moments where it was hard [for it to not] bleed into Dancing With the Stars.”
She concluded, “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.”
Although Jen and Whitney don’t seem to be on speaking terms, it seems Jen has changed her tune on cheering for Whitney throughout the remainder of the competition.
Indeed, the night she and her partner Jan Ravnik were eliminated, Jen referenced her tension with Whitney on Instagram Live, saying, “I would be rooting for a former MomTok person, but we won’t be getting into that."
However, Jen did allude to fans learning more about the spat during season three of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which will premiere all 10 episodes on Hulu, as well as Hulu on Disney+, on Nov. 13. As she said, “You’ll just have to wait for season three.”

Meanwhile, Whitney is shrugging off the beef so as not to be distracted from her and partner Mark Ballas taking home the Mirrorball trophy on Dancing With the Stars.
"I'm trying not to focus on that," she told E! News after the Nov. 4 episode. "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."
