‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ star Whitney Leavitt reacts to husband Conner’s ‘Dancing With the Stars’ elimination during premiere night
Whitney Leavitt gushed over how “f–king proud” she is of her husband, Conner Leavitt, after his premiere night elimination from “Dancing With the Stars” Tuesday.
“I hope you never let this ending take away from what you just did,” the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star, 33, wrote via Instagram Wednesday.
She praised her partner, 32, for stepping “so far outside of [his] comfort zone” by joining the hit dance competition series.
“You … worked your ass off, put yourself out there and went for it,” Whitney gushed. “People can have their opinions, but I know you. They’ve only seen a fraction of what you’re capable of. And I can’t wait for them to find out!”
“I hope this lit a fire in you!” she continued, encouraging her spouse to “keep saying yes” and “keep putting [him]self out there.”
The reality star added, “Keep going after the things that scare you. F–k the noise and go after whatever you want next baby! Sedona, Liam and Billy are so proud of their dad 🥹 I’m so proud and lucky to be your wife.”
She concluded, “This is just the beginning, babe 🤍.”
In addition to the lengthy Instagram caption, Whitney shared three loved-up mirror selfies with Conner clutching a massive floral bouquet.
Her “SLOMW” co-stars sounded off in supportive comments.
“So proud of him ❤️❤️,” Jessi Draper wrote, while Layla Taylor dubbed Conner a “Mirrorball winner” in her eyes.
Mikayla Matthews agreed Conner is “always a winner,” while Mayci Neeley gushed, “We love you Conner!!! ❤️❤️”
As for Demi Engemann, she commented, “Wish the world got to see more of him! 🤍 forever a star in my eyes!! 🥹”
News broke earlier this month of Conner’s casting in the ABC show alongside pro partner Adele Zaikman.
His wife cheered from the live audience Tuesday evening as he and Zaikman, 24, performed a Salsa to “Whoomp! There It Is” by Tag Team.
The duo earned a score of 12 out of 30 from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli.
Whitney, notably, teamed up with Mark Ballas when she competed on Season 34 of “DWTS” and placed sixth.
After her emotional elimination from the November 2025 Semi Finals, Whitney went on to land a starring Broadway role as Roxie Hart in “Chicago.”
She wrapped the role in May after two months — and will be back on Broadway later this year as Sandra Dee in “Just in Time.”
