#MomTok is officially coming to Dancing With the Stars season 34 on ABC! Two additional celebrity cast members have been announced to be joining the new DWTS season, and both are reality stars from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Are you ready to learn just who they are?
Well, those of you who immediately guessed that Whitney Leavitt was going to join when the show teased a big announcement coming on social media yesterday, you were 100% correct! The Mormon Wives star is indeed competing and ready to put her dancing shoes on. Though she's not the only one. Her co-star Jen Affleck will also be taking a turn around the dance floor!
Will there be too much competition and tenseness with the two competing against each other? Their fellow friends are clearly nervous about that, surprised they're seemingly even being friendly at the moment with the good news, as seen in the video below. Well, we'll see how long that lasts I suppose.
The announcement was officially shared in the season 2 reunion episode, which is now streaming on Hulu. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion host Nick Viall, known from the Bachelor Nation, shared the news. Many of the reality stars had actually auditioned, so they weren't sure who was going to be able to go ahead and compete.
As you can see in the video above, Viall first announced that Jen got the clearly coveted spot amongst the group, You can definitely see that Whitney was supportive, but disappointed she wouldn't get the chance she's been wanting. Though that's when the host had the surprise up his sleeve and officially confirmed that Whitney is going to Dancing With the Stars season 34 as well!
The two join already announced contestants Robert Irwin and Alix Earle. The full cast for the next DWTS season, including the pro dancers, will be announced at a later date. Most likely on Good Morning America closer to the premiere in fall 2025, as is usual.
So far I think the cast is looking great, and I'm excited to see how the competition between Jen and Whitney is going to play out. It certainly adds another delicious layer to the competition since both gals are from the same show. And you can tell just how much both would like to take home that Mirror Ball trophy!
Dancing With the Stars season 34 premieres in fall 2025 on ABC.
