Whitney and Conner Leavitt connected to Dancing with the Stars

Conner Leavitt has been announced as a contestant for season 35 of Dancing with the Stars. His wife, Whitney Leavitt, a former semi-finalist on the show and star of the Hulu series ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’, has been providing him with advice and tips to prepare for the competition.

In a separate development, professional dancer Witney Carson revealed she was approached to appear on ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ but declined the opportunity. Carson, who also competed on Dancing with the Stars, noted that she grew up in the same jazz competition circuit as Whitney Leavitt.
