Dancing with the Stars Reveals Mormon Wives Stars as Contestants ArticlePure

There’s going to be some MomTokers in the ballroom for the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars.

During The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion, host Nick Viall revealed that “most” of the ladies recently tried out for the beloved ABC competition series while filming season 3.” He then asked the cast who wanted the coveted spot the most.

“I feel like me and Jen,” Whitney Leavitt laughed.

Viall then asked, “Who deserves it the most?” to which Taylor Frankie Paul also named Jen Affleck, adding, “Just because it’s her life dream, since she was little.”

“Yeah, it is,” Jen replied.

Taylor also acknowledged that Whitney “was an actual dancer,” adding, “You’ve danced your whole life.”

During the special, Viall announced Jen would be heading to the ballroom before revealing an unexpected twist, sharing, “As it turns out, because you women are so adored, they are going to be sending two of you to Dancing with the Stars.”

It was then revealed that Whitney would also get to compete on the show. While the two playfully exchanged barbs about the competition ahead, both MomTokers looked thrilled to get the opportunity.

The MomTokers will be in good company on ABC’s long-running dance competition series. In April 2025, it was announced at Disney Entertainment Television’s Get Real Event in Los Angeles that Robert Irwin, the son of the late Steve Irwin, would compete on the newest season. In May 2025, influencer Alix Earle was also confirmed to be a part of the cast.

A premiere date for Dancing with the Stars season 34 has not been publicly announced, but it is expected to air in the fall.
