Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt will compete for the Mirrorball Trophy in ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Season 34.
Jen Affleck is checking an item off her bucket list. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star has joined the cast of Dancing With the Stars.
During the season 2 reunion for the hit Hulu reality show, which dropped July 1, host Nick Viall revealed that Jen would be competing for the Mirrorball Trophy in season 34 of DWTS.

“Most” of the Mormon Wives cast tried out for the competition series, Viall shared. He then asked the ladies who most deserved a spot on the show.
Taylor Frankie Paul pointed to Jen.
“Just because it’s her life dream, since she was little,” Taylor said.
“Yeah, it is,” Jen confirmed.
Viall confirmed that Jen had achieved her dream and was headed to the ballroom. But she’s not the only MomTok creator joining the Dancing With the Stars cast. Whitney Leavitt had also made the cut.
“As it turns out, because you women are so adored, they are going to be sending two of you to Dancing with the Stars,” he said.
Winning a spot on one of her favorite shows isn’t the only exciting thing to happen to Jen, who is expecting her third child, this week. A few days before the reunion aired, she shared that she had gone into labor while at a nail salon. She hasn’t shared whether she’s given birth.

(His sister, Bindi Irwin, won Dancing With the Stars Season 21.) Influencer Alix Earle has also joined the show.
ABC has not announced a premiere date for Dancing With the Stars Season 34, but new episodes are expected to begin airing sometime in the fall.
