Who Is Whitney Leavitt? The MomTok Star, Reality TV Personality, and DWTS Standout in 2025
Whitney Leavitt, a 32-year-old Utah-based influencer, mom, and rising TV star, has become one of the most talked-about figures in reality television this year. Known for her bold personality on Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and her impressive run on Dancing with the Stars Season 34, Whitney’s journey from TikTok dances to the ballroom has captivated millions.
From MomTok to Reality TV Fame
Whitney Leavitt first gained attention as a key member of “MomTok,” a group of Mormon mom influencers on TikTok famous for dance videos, parenting content, and lifestyle tips. With over 2.3 million TikTok followers (@whitleavitt) and hundreds of thousands on Instagram, she quickly became a leader in the group.
In 2024–2025, she starred in all three seasons of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu, which explores the drama among the MomTok crew following a viral “soft-swinging” scandal. Whitney Leavitt often found herself at the center of conflicts — leaving the group chat in Season 1, returning in Season 2, and admitting in Season 3 that her main motivation for coming back was a potential spot on Dancing with the Stars. She’s been open about strained relationships with castmates like Jen Affleck and Taylor Frankie Paul, embracing her “villain” edit at times.
The show has been a massive hit, with Season 3 delving deeper into friendships, feuds, and family life. Whitney, who is married to Conner Leavitt (since 2016), is a mom of three: Sedona (born 2019), Liam (2021), and Billy (2024).
Shocking Elimination from Dancing with the Stars
In fall 2025, Whitney competed on Dancing with the Stars Season 34, paired with pro dancer Mark Ballas. A former competitive dancer with a BFA in Dance from Brigham Young University, she was a frontrunner from the start — earning multiple perfect scores and topping the leaderboard several times.
However, in a stunning semi-finals upset on November 18, 2025 (Prince Night), Whitney and Mark were eliminated despite strong performances (a cha-cha to “1999” and a Viennese waltz to “Slow Love”). Fans called it a “robbery,” as she consistently outperformed some finalists in judges’ scores but fell short on viewer votes.
Post-elimination, Whitney told outlets like Entertainment Tonight and E! News that she “would do it all again” and felt like a winner anyway. She credited the experience with bringing her closer to her husband and reigniting her passion for dance. A memorable moment? Dropping an F-bomb on live TV out of excitement (quickly bleeped!).
Personal Life, Health Journey, and Future Plans
Whitney has been candid about her health, revealing she has hypothyroidism and has focused on macro-counting for weight loss in recent years. She’s also transitioned toward acting, with credits in projects like An Uncharted Desire (2023) and upcoming films.
Past controversies include a 2021 TikTok where she danced next to her newborn son in the NICU during his RSV treatment — a video that drew backlash but she later defended as a coping mechanism.
As of November 2025, Whitney is focusing on family, content creation, and new opportunities post-DWTS. Rumors swirl about potential spinoffs or more acting roles — she’s even joked about becoming “the first reality star to successful actress.”
Whether you love her or love to debate her, Whitney Leavitt is undeniably one of 2025’s breakout reality stars. What’s next for this dancing mom? Fans are eagerly watching! 💃✨
If you’ve watched Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (now in its third season as of November 2025), you know the entire show revolves around one explosive revelation: the 2022 “soft-swinging” scandal that nearly destroyed the #MomTok community. What started as wholesome dance videos and parenting tips from a group of young Mormon moms in Utah turned into one of TikTok’s biggest controversies, involving sex, divorce, friendships imploding, and even an arrest.
